Hostel Pensión San Fermín

Fermín Calbetón, 23, 20003 San Sebastián, Spain –

*7.6* Kursaal Congress Centre and Auditorium: only 6 minutes away! (1,500 feet by foot)

*9.0* Monte Urgull: only 5 minutes away! (1,200 feet by foot)

*9.4* Old Town: only 4 minutes away! (950 feet by foot)

*8.7* Victoria Eugenia Theater: only 5 minutes away! (1,200 feet by foot)

The property was in a great location, under a 10 minute walk to the beach. The girl working there was very friendly and helpful.

Sarah, Canada

The location was super central BUT that also meant it was very noisy at night.

Kate, United Kingdom

The staff is the saving grace of this hostel! Very friendly and super helpful, which partially makes up for its lack of atmosphere. Otherwise, it was clean and has sufficient facilities.

Theresa, United States of America

The Staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent.

Angelica, Switzerland

Perfect location for one ou two nights with friends in the town ! The woman at the reception was really nice and helpful ! Thanks a lot

Emeline, France

The hostel's central location, within a short walking distance from the majority of the most important sights of the city, is its main asset. Clean, too.

Rach, Australia

The location was amazing, right in the heart of the old city overlooking the pintxos bars. The price was great. It was comfortable, friendly, we had a balcony overlooking the street, a private bathroom with seemingly limitless hot water, and shared with just two other women.

Located in the center of the old quarter, this guest house offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and a private bathroom with shower. Playa de la Concha Beach is only 1,000 feet away.

All air-conditioned rooms at Pensión San Fermín feature parquet flooring and some of them have a small balcony overlooking the street. Each includes a private bathroom with a shower.

Guests will find plenty of tapas bars and restaurants near the guest house. The city’s main sights are within walking distance, including the Good Shepherd Cathedral, 10 minutes away.

San Sebastián Airport can be reached in about 20 minutes by bus and Bilbao International Airport is 62 mi away. The Railway Station is about 15 minutes’ walk away.

This is our guests' favorite part of San Sebastián, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.6 for a two-person trip.

San Sebastian's old city is really something special. One moment you might be exploring a medieval church. Five minutes later, you can surf the nearby beach – one of the best in Europe.

The smallest room I have ever been in a Hostel at a price of a 4 star hotel, I would not pay more than 15 euros per guest and night.
Just the location in downtown.

“Not recommended to anyone interested in having a decent sleep during the weekend”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 8 nights
The 4-bed dormitory where I stayed was stiflingly narrow. You could hardly move or sit properly. The noise emerging from the shouting crowds hanging out outside the bar directly below the room and the pub on the opposite side of the street made the weekends a nightmarish experience, although the hostel by itself is not a "party" hostel. Based on my personal experience, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone interested in enjoying decent rest/sleep. If, however, you do take such a decision, make sure to choose a room NOT facing Fermin Calbeton street.
The hostel's central location, within a short walking distance from the majority of the most important sights of the city, is its main asset. Clean, too.

For some reason the WIFI didn’t work in the room, it worked in all other places of the buildings. Not sure this is true for every room but only a minor con!
The property was in a great location, under a 10 minute walk to the beach. The girl working there was very friendly and helpful.

Obviously it was noisy - overlooking a popular street, sharing with other travellers, and bunk beds. Earplugs recommended - but then it’s fine!
