My husband and I spent 3 nights in this lovely boutique hotel in San Sebastian. It is very centrally located - only a short walk from the old town and the beach. The reception staff are so friendly and helpful and gave us some really good restaurant recommendations. The rooms are lovely and very well serviced. The self service breakfast was very extensive and the servers were so friendly. I would really recommend this hotel as a place to stay in San Sebastion and we would certainly stay there again.
Firstly, ther are a lot of road works going on in SB so if you are driving it is hard to find the hotel. Also the parking instructions with your booking will not take you to the reserved parking - you need to go to hoel and they will direct you around the corner to entrance in middle of road, then down 5 stories .... However, its worth it, really delightful older hotel right on the sea front. Staff were very helpful and good English and it has a modest olde world feel about it. Rooms are bright and modern and sea view balcony justified the extra costs. Downstairs bar with reserved seating for hote gusets, and nice terrave outside with good service. Breakfast was simply superb, huge range of food on the bufft and not overly busy, all with a seaview. It is expensive for what it is, but worth a treat for a few days in SB
Please do not book to stay at this hotel. They have questionable morals and appalling customer service. I was booked to stay here in June 2024 with my friend Helen. Unfortunately, the day before we were due to travel I started experiencing pregnancy complications and ended up in a&e. My friend Helen contacted the hotel on my behalf to explain the situation, that I was in hospital, and that I'd been advised not to travel. Obviously, we were devastated that we wouldn’t be able to make the trip but obviously the fact I was experiencing worrying pregnancy complications was more concerning at that time. We appreciate hotels have a cancellation policy, however we were not asking for a refund, simply to be able to use the money we were paying as credit towards a stay another time in the year. As we thought we were dealing with a reputable hotel company, we expected a level of understanding and compassion considering the situation. My friend was met with a firm no and a highly unprofessional response, asking us to ‘see if we had other friends who could enjoy the stay’ and offering a 5% discount on future stays. We were utterly shocked by how poorly this was handled. To make things worse, and whilst we were still trying to navigate the highly upsetting situation, the hotel then promptly charged us for the entire amount for the stay, before we'd even have checked in, which added even more undue stress onto what was already a highly stressful situation. About 4 days later, I personally contacted the hotel, to see if they might have had a change of heart and asked to be put in contact with the manager of the hotel. As I was still having ongoing issues with my pregnancy and hospital visits, this wasn't something I wanted to be dealing with, but as this trip was a real treat for us, and a lot of money, their actions left me with little choice. I received absolutely no response from the hotel. I followed up 2 days later in the hope that someone might have the decency to respond or offer any kind words, and try and rectify the situation, but they once again ignored my email. I have honestly never dealt with a company with such a lack of morals or professionalism. Based on how they've acted so far, I assume the hotel may try to dispute my stay, as the booking was in my friends name, but I hope anyone reading this would query why I'd bother to write this were it not the truth...

Spent two nights here at the end of May. We arrived into San Sebastián on the bus from Bilbao Airport and after a 30-minute walk arrived at the hotel. We got to the hotel around midday and were thinking of leaving our bags at reception until the room became available, but after 15 minutes we were able to check in and get our cardkey. The room was very contemporary with a comfortable bed and good storage facilities, a fridge and a safe. As is common in Spain there were no tea of coffee making facilities, but complimentary water was provided. The room had a balcony that looked out over the main road outside, but the room had good soundproofing and we were not disturbed. The bathroom was clean and modern, though was incorporated within the bedroom rather than being a separate room. This meant there was little soundproofing and the frosted glass did not leave much to the imagination! The hotel is about 30 minutes away from the main tourist attractions of San Sebastián, and is in a more residential part of the city. There are some great bars and pintxos restaurants close to the hotel, and in one particular we would recommend is Oliyos. There is no restaurant on site but they do have a coffee bar, though we went out for breakfast both days to a bakery across the road. Ondarreta beach is close by and on the first day of our stay it was warm and sunny and we be spent a few hours there. Overall we were happy with our stay here and would recommend as a base when visiting the city.
Very new and modern hotel with fast wifi. On-site restaurant is very convenient for a quick bite. 2 bus lines with frequent services that stop at the front of the hotel take you to the heart of San Sebastian. Free parking (horrible parking condition in San Sebastian) on premises and reasonable pricing make this hotel a very good choice for stay near San Sebastian. Note that most rooms have glass shower stall in the middle of the room and it may not be very private for certain travelers. Otherwise, the room is spacious, clean and has good air-con. Note also there is no safety deposit box and no fridge in the room although storage space is quite reasonable. Friendly and helpful staff.
PPioneer64723816365Superb Hotel in suburb close to big hospital, you can park your car free of charge outside (if you find one). Rooms are luxury in all senses, recommend place in San Sebastian! Breakfast (officially 20€/Person) was disappointing. Not even a spanish Flute for tostada tomate only white toast.
Two nights in Donostia San Sebastián with a guided walking tour booked for our full day in the town. The hotel is really comfortable and the staff are all truly lovely. Our room had everything we would want but like so many Spanish hotels they don’t provide tea and coffee making facilities in the room. We travel extensively in Spain and bring an aero press coffee maker, its small and convenient for travel. We have a small travel kettle and bring coffee. Milk is more challenging now as since Brexit milk and milk products cannot be brought in but that can be addressed with a bit of planning. That said, breakfast starts at 07:30 and the coffee from the machine is actually OK. A good selection of breakfast choices including bacon and eggs. What we do like about this hotel is the staff. All are friendly and smile all day long. The young girl at the bar was really friendly and we felt welcomed and comfortable. Plenty of comfortable seating in the bar area and food can be obtained via the bar menu. We however chose the restaurant both evenings and were so so impressed. Our food was excellent and we were looked after both nights by two different but equally attentive, professional staff. I didn’t get the name of the waiter on Tuesday night but he was delightful. Thursday we chose the tasting menu and so glad we did. Every single dish was superb. A special mention to Irina ( Irene?) who served us. The restaurant was really busy and she was on her own waiting on tables. She was friendly, charming and helpful even though under pressure due to the volume of diners. She did a fantastic job. The food here is some of the best hotel food we have had. All food and drink is on a pay at the point of use, no putting it on the room but for us that worked really well as the room was prepaid so checkout was quick and easy. Just leave the key in the box and go. WiFi is excellent. If you are driving there is parking in front of the hotel but not enough spaces if the hotel is full. There is parking opposite. The hotel is situated on a hill, and I mean a hill!!!! The walk into town took about 25 minutes. We discovered the taxi rank right by the bandstand near the seafront and it was only €8 to get a ride back up the hill. If you are visiting the town you will have a comfortable welcoming stay here but come thinking “ taxi” to get back.
Des del primer momento, Rony se ha mostrado atento y muy servicial. La Pensión Gurtxu está en pleno casco antiguo. Lo mejor es que se encuentra en una calle con pocos bares, donde no hay aglomeraciones por las noches. Hemos dormido sin ruido, además los cierres de las ventanas son nuevos y con doble cristal. La pensión se trata de un segundo piso con ascensor. Esta super limpia, reformada, ordenada y en cada habitación hay agua, cafetera, tazas, 2 toallas por persona, nórdico, televisión, espejo... Las camas son cómodas. En total hay 3 habitaciones, cada habitación con su llave. El baño es compartido, pero no hemos tenido problemas de espera para usarlo. Esta muy limpio y reformado. Puedes encontrar mapas y además Rony te manda un WhatsApp con recomendaciones gastronómicas muy acertadas. Gurtxu es espacio muy cogedor dónde voy a quedarme cuando vuelva a San Sebastián. Gracias por todo!
訪訪客Excellent hotel! Very large room for 3 of us. Shower was amazing along with the large bathroom layout. Breakfast was just perfect and staff are lovely. The hotel location was very good a 15/ 20 min stroll to the old town. The exterior of the hotel is underwhelming but once inside it is spacious and immaculately clean. Would definitely come back.
MMAV627The hotel is centrally located… close to Old Town, the beach and significant sights - all within comfortable walking distance. The breakfast buffet is more than sufficient and reasonably priced. The concierge and hotel staff are all very helpful and friendly. You don’t need more ; there is more than enough; and it is very comfortable.
3305SimonPWas very concerned having seen the bad reviews on here, especially as travelling with small children. However we were quite impressed and left happy. The location is great, with a regular air conditioned bus every 20 mins. The staff were very friendly, and the facilities were all new. The swimming pool was good, and the bar / restaurant. The busy road is closed off by a newish fence so wasn’t concerned about the children’s safety. My only negatives were that the pitches were very small, could just fit our caravan and awning on, but there is a car park just across the road (less than 1 minutes walk). The other negative was the cockerel that started about 3am, however if we turned our fans on in caravan this would cover the noise up. In summary, we would definitely stay here again, San Sebastián was amazing and felt like Rio de Janerio, spot on beaches and good surf, the kids played all day. Because the site is so close you have to expect it to have small pitches, and they can’t help it if neighbours keep animals. I think a lot of the buildings seemed to be recently refurbished too, it was all good.
