The room was not clean enough and the interior view was not pleasant at all.

Excellent location.

Very basic accommodation in a fantastic location. Our room overlooked the street which was very noisy. We liked this as we came for the festival, but it might not suit everyone!

Stayed in August 2023

Very loud environment, uncomfortable bed, price too high for quality of room, showers were always occupied and quite dirty

Sink in the room

Kitchen is ok, outdated and despite the enough amneties (toaster, hot water kettle, microwave, oven etc, it seemed not very clean. Still, San Sebastian is expensive in the summer, so having the use of the kitchen was great added value. They give you small towel per person.

Location is unbeatable, close to the beach, shops, pintxo bars, 15min walk to bus or train station, groceries at the front door. There is an elevator, the pension is in the 1st and 2nd floor. Enough shared bathrooms, my room was quiet because it was looking to inner courtyard. There is a kitchen with many pots and pans to cook a simple meals fridge for the guests and your key is a bracelet to open the main door, kitchen and your room.

Expensive for what it is. No window in our room. Bathrooms smelt a little.

Good location. Quick communication. We left something and they helped us to sort it out and get it posted.

Stayed in August 2023

Foam beds. Not enough kitchen equipment.

The staff were extremely professional and welcoming. Extremely pleased with the location as well. There was a small grocery store next door and lots of options for restaurants. The staff provided recommendations for food - excellent suggestions. My room and the shared bathroom were clean at all times. It is very basic but clean. While it was fairly quiet while we were there, you could hear doors being closed. The bed was not the most comfortable for us as it was made out of foam. But for the money you pay, it is fine (however we went during the film festival so it was expensive along with every other hotel). It is in the old town and a stone throw away from the beach. You are able to prepare food in the kitchen however it would be great to see more kitchen equipment such as plates, cups, glasses etc. plus the kitchen was not as clean as the bathrooms were. From memory there are 9 rooms and at least 4 bathrooms. There could be 5 bathrooms but I definitely counted 4. There was a fan and ceiling fan in our room. No air conditioning. But there was a heater. Didn’t try the heater though. Be great if there was an air conditioner however it is a pension and not a 4 star hotel. Stayed there four nights. For a basic, clean room (rooms are small) with friendly staff, it is fine.

From the backyard (through the window) was always coming a very bad smell from a restaurant, old grease probably. Therefore it was hot even though we used the fans in the room and we had no fresh air in the room.

It was right in the old town, very beautiful. One bathroom only, but it was cleaned every day!

Nice hostel with perfect location in the middle of the old town. The price was also quite fair and the staff was nice.

Stayed in September 2023

it was very noisy in the mid-night with a group of people just arriving. Someone smoked somewhere in the building. Every guests could smell it.

the location is very convenient in the center of old town

Stayed in September 2023

The door to the bathroom had bo lock, even if 4 different rooms used it. There was no possibility to open a window for fresh air or light in the room

We made a reservation for two rooms, but unfortunately, upon arrival, we found them to be quite dirty, with sand scattered around. It seemed that proper cleaning had not been conducted prior to our check-in. The condition of the shared bathrooms was also disappointing, as they were in an unclean state, rendering the showers unusable. Adding to our discomfort, the noise level at the hotel was remarkably high. I was awoken twice during the night due to loud screams from outside, and the noise was so pronounced that it felt as if I were sleeping directly on the street. This overall experience was far from satisfactory, and we hope that these issues can be addressed to enhance the quality of stay for future guests.

Pretty much everything. It’s dirty, especially the bathrooms and kitchen, the towels are hand towels, it was stuffy in the room with no fresh air and the ceiling fan was tiny and away from the bed meaning we got no relief to sleep. Staff couldn’t care less about the place or the service they provide.

Location is good.

If you book a room with shared bathroom, be prepared to stay in a disgusting sh*thole.

View out window went into the middle of the building so no breeze at all, room got quite warm (although there was a fan), small room.

Great location, lift in building, shared bathroom was no problems at all.

When I read the negative reviews about this pension I thought the were too crazy. But in reality they perfectly match my experience. To start with, we were given hand towels for bath towels. We are both quite tall people. Felt like it was a joke. We kindly asked someone there to give us proper ones. They **reluctantly** gave us bigger ones. Then, the bedsheets didn't fit the mattresses. We'd up in the middle of night cold and sleeping directly on the mattress. Secondly, communication with the reception was a joke, to say the least. They may or may not reply to you. It happened our wristbands wouldn't open the door to the corridor, during the first morning, already within reception working times. We were locked outside for almost an hour with all our documents and phones and stuff in the room. After many tries, finally the lock responded and we were able to get inside. Only later we got a reply from the reception with a simple "good morning, glad it worked". The rooms... Oh wow... They do match the pictures but in pictures you can't smell or hear sounds. If you're lucky, your room will smell like fried food the whole day. If you're unlucky, then you'll feel you'll be sleeping in the middle of the party street, because isolation was not part of the construction plan. Oh, and it gets quite damp. The noise is around the clock. Evening and night there's a lot of people passing by (sober or drunk). And in the early morning there are gargabe trucks, delivery trucks, and drunk people making noise. And, of course, some people staying there were drunk as well and making a lot of noise in the corridor. The shower was partially broken, so whoever was showering would always accidentally drop the tap on the floor and wake up whoever was sleeping next door. This place is definitely NOT for older people nor families. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere cheaper, better and quieter 15 min walk away from the old town.

It's well located but please stay way from the old city centre. Terribly noisy

Great location. Cafe, dinner next door is a great value and hours. Pintxos bars next door are some of the best. Walking distance left, right. Up down to everything

Maybe just fix that fan that is hanging badly from the ceiling but other than that great!

We had a group of 16 come for a culture exchange. The ages were from 16 years old to 30s. It was an amazing time and this place was exactly what we needed! It’s not the Ritz Carlton but it’s perfect for siestas and sleeping! The staff was amazing and extremely accommodating. We will be coming back to Pension Goiko for future groups for sure! Thanks a bunch!

Very good location. Easy access system.

it was expensive for a hostel, but it might be because I decided to come in Sep during their film festival.

Great central location, easy access, great staff, quiet room. I had a double room just to myself. it was basic but had all I needed and a ceiling fan as long as a floor fan. there was a window to the courtyard. for a hostel I thought it was great, quiet, comfortable bed.

very good location and very nice for a big group

No windows! No air conditioning. The room was almost intolerable and we could her the people next door having sex like they were in our room. To add more insult, it was outrageously expensive!

Nothing!
