    It was a little noisy at times.

    As a pension, it was a bed and bathroom. Clean with laundry services and snacks. Great location for the beach and hiking around.

    The showers and rooms were small but functional and we had anticipated this anyway.

    Breakfast was good, fresh each day with plenty selection of fruit. There was sufficient to satisfy.

    The bathroom was a bit too small as I am a very big man.

    Location was great, a few metres from Playa de la Concha and a short walk from downtown Donostia. Helpful professional reception and cleaning staff members. Krugg coffee making machines were in each room; complimentary biscuits, cakes, fruit and coffee capsules were available for free at the reception area. The room was big enough for a single person. Value was great at a cost of 67 Euros per night.

    The wall of the room is so thick so that the voices from other room can easily hear and it was irritating. Secondly, when anybody go to washroom in their room, the voice of fan was loud so that I heard in my room every time

    Mr. Michal who is running this hotel was so nice, he was so cooperative

    Small room/bathroom/shower. Relatively quiet but could hear the people on the floor above. Quiet at night.

    Location was perfect. 1min walk from the beach, with great restaurants nearby. 10-minute walk from the old town. Perfect for one night. Clean, hot shower, comfy bed. Just what we needed. There is a lift. Located on 1st floor. Parking was available 3mins away for a charge. Free fruit and snacks. Coffee machine and hairdryer in room.

    The was not soundproofing at all. You can here the conversations from the next room, the elevator , and generally everything outside the room.

    The place is value for money. Even though it is small , it was very clean and a few steps from la concha beach. The receptionist was willing to give you advices and proposes for places to visit, and next to the reception were fruits and pastries to offer to the visitors free of charge.

    Very clean, tidy and warm. Host was extremely friendly and helpful, Mikel couldn’t do enough to make us feel at home. Free coffee and breakfast snacks were a bonus too.

    Only issue I had is the wall is too thin. You can hear everything. Even when the next room switches off their lights. The noise does quite down after awhile.

    This hotel is in an apartments block. The hotel is an apartment divided into room. I stayed in a single room, which is ok for 1 person. It had everything needed, even a coffee machine!. The room is clean!. The main area had coffee coffee pods, tea, snacks and fruits which is a really nice touch. Location is fabulous. Only across the road from the beach and 10mins into the old town and the bus station to San Sebastián airport. Mikel was really helpful and informative.

    I booked a single room with private bathroom, room was small.

    The location of this property was excellent, a couple of 100 metres to the beach, within easy walking distance of the new town and about a 10 to 15 minutes to the old town. The staff were excellent and greeted me on arrival, provided me with a map, pointing out places of interest. Free tea, coffee and hot chocolate, plus fresh fruit, lollies and cakes for breakfast. The staff text your prior to arrival providing you with a phone number in case you need anything. I texted the number prior to my departure and requested they book me a taxi for early the next morning. They made the booking and confirmed it with me. The staff are polite, friendly and efficient.

    Regardless of what some old reviews say, this place is simply perfect. Good level of cleanliness, great amenities (a Nespresso machine on your room, and unlimited coffee and croissants!)… and the location is the best it could be. Don’t think it twice and book now, you won’t regret it!

    The room was smelling a bit enclosed and musty.

    Location is perfect right next to La Concha beach - I found a couple of cafés nearby, with good food options, whether you are going for local or vegan/vegetarian .. There is also a supermarket nearby. In the reception you can take coffee, chocolate, tea, fruit and small cakes for free. The area is very quiet. The room is kept very clean.

    It was a great stay. But my room had a small shower. I couldn’t really fit in it.

    The host was absolutely incredible. He gave great recommendations for the city, booked taxis for me, helped with washing and always had free coffee/pastries available.

    The hostal is on upper floors. There is a lift but it was unfortunately not working on my visit. It is 53 steps up. Michael kindly took my case up for me.

    Great location. Practically opposite the beach ⛱️. Room was compact , clean and comfy. Coffee maker in room and free coffees and snacks. Staff were great. 15 min walk from Donastia bus station or you can get a bus from there with a 1 min walk to hostal.
