- George Daniel Muresan (10/5): -
- McEachern (8/5): Great accommodation overall in a very good location. - Room was well equipped with nice linens, extra pillows, kettle and small fridge with free water, soft drinks and a bottle of sparkling wine. Nice sized bathroom and all very clean. Room was small but for a short stay it was fine.
- Leire (9/5): Muy recomendable - Situación privilegiada en la zona vieja. Habitación muy bien equipada con todos los detalles cuidados. cama cómoda!
- Hettie (8/5): Fijne plek om te verblijven tijdens stedentrip. San Sebastián is echt een prachtige stad! - Mooie plek in het oude stadscentrum. Goede uitvalsbasis om stad te verkennen. Niet aan de orde
- Katherine (10/5): -
- Katarina (5/5): -
- Caoimhe (8/5): Ideal location just in the heart of the old town. Everywhere you want to eat there is no less than a 2 minute walk away. - Location is brilliant . Check in easy. Nice staff NA

- Daniel (10/5): Lovely hotel in old town San Sebastián - A lovely home within the old town of San Sebastián. Comfortable room with lovely views of cathedral, old town, and ocean to boot. Friendly and very helpful host! Would absolutely stay here again if I’m lucky enough to return to Donostia!
- GREGORIO (8/5): - Ubicación
- Isabel (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Estancia recomendable, limpia, buena ubicación y vistas bonitas! - Me gustó mucho las vistas de la habitación, que todo estuviera limpio y que la gestora de la pensión nos dejara amablemente hacer el check out más tarde para poder ducharnos después de la Media Maratón. La ubicación muy buena también. Repetiremos!
- Kyana (10/5): Fabulous! - So cute - our corner room had 3 balconies that got sun at different times! The receptionist was lovely and the location is so close to the Old Town while not being in the centre of all the noise. Nothing
- EUGENIA (6/5): No hay relación entre el costo y las instalaciones - La limpieza sábanas y toallas Le falta mantenimiento al edificio
- Martha (10/5): Excelente place to stay - Great location
- Loren (8/5): -
- Ning Gong (9/5): Good location, very nice room. - I stayed at the corner room. It is bright, with 3 big windows, overlooking the church and the sea in distance. Good sized bathroom with walk in shower. The lift to the room is a big plus. Noise from the school nearby.
- BEGOÑA (9/5): Muy buena opción. - Todo estuvo muy bien: personal, limpieza, comodidad y situación. Además tienes agua en la nevera y un calentador de agua con tazas y café cortesía del establecimiento. Las imágenes de la habitación no corresponden con todas las habitaciones. La nuestra era más pequeña y con el baño privado (eso sí) pero en una especie de hall (privado también y adosado a la habitación)
- Leticia (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): - Ubicación excelente, instalaciones cuidadas y muy cómodas, se sentía como estar en casa y trato muy cercano y amable, sin duda volveremos!
- Jaap (10/5): -
- Florentina (8/5): Ubicación inmejorable! - La pensión tiene una ubicación excelente! El personal de recepción es muy amable y atento! Se escuchan los huéspedes de las otras habitaciones.

- VegaVega (10/5): -
- Olivier (9/5): - Super situation géographique Toilettes à l'extérieur.
- Kathleen (8/5): - The staff was very helpful N/a
- Linda (9/5): Like living in a European fantasy with views of water and sound of church bells. - Location was perfect!!! Room had a lot of charm. Unique in many ways. A little more room would be nice but it's an old building and I don't think it would be possible.
- Jesus (10/5): -
- Åge (10/5): -
- Marianne (10/5): Super hôtel ! La chambre est très confortable et chaleureuse. Toute l’équipe de l’hôtel a été très disponible et arrange -
- gerard (5/5): - Son emplacement Chambre très petite et salle de bain dans le couloir pas coolquand on se lève la nuit
- Eloi (7/5): -
- Elena (9/5): -
- EMMA (10/5): - Inmejorable ubicación, limpio, cómodo y con un montón de detalles. Excelente relación calidad-precio en el momento de la visita
- Sawako (9/5): 立地最高、コスパ良し - 旧市街のバルエリアから徒歩すぐのところで立地が良かった。
オフシーズンということもあってか、立地や広さ的にもとてもコスパが良い。
スリッパや耳栓、紙コップなどが用意されていていた。
バスルームも広くて清潔、シャワーもしっかり出た。 私は気にならなかったが、外の喧騒や近くの教会の鐘、部屋の前の廊下やドアの音が結構響く(そのための耳栓が用意されているのかも?)。

- Daniel (8/5): -
- Thomas (9/5): Schönes Zimmer in bester Lage. - Geräumiges, schön eingerichtetes Zimmer in bester Lage. Ich würde gerne wieder hier übernachten. Nur eine kleine Kritik: Mir war es unter dem Strich zu umfangreiche Kommunikation (via Chat) mit der Gastgeberin, aber unter dem Strich ok.

- ginger_ti (10/5): - Podobało nam się absolutnie wszystko. Doskonała komunikacja i jasne instrukcje. Wygodne zameldowanie o każdej porze dzięki kodom dostępu. Klimatyczny pokój urządzony w przyjemnych dla oka, niebieskich tonacjach. Wygodne łóżko i cudowny widok z okna. Balkon, na którym można wypić kawę lub wino we dwoje. Wysokiej jakości, miękki szlafrok i ręczniki. W łazience było wszystko, co potrzebne, a prysznic miał różne opcje strumienia. Sprzątanie odbywało się codziennie. Miłą niespodzianką była butelka cava, a także dostępna herbata i kawa.
Dodatkowo – lokalizacja idealna: dwie minuty od oceanu, muzeum, barów i restauracji. Z pełnym przekonaniem będziemy polecać to miejsce znajomym.
Ponieważ planujemy wrócić do San Sebastián, z przyjemnością zatrzymamy się tu ponownie.
Nasze szczere podziękowania dla Claudii i Beatriz. Nie mam nic do powiedzenia
- Marc (10/5): -
- Susanne (7/5): San Sebastian ist eine Reise wert - Die Lage Kein Kommentar
- Fiona Lohoar (10/5): - The location, balcony and Beatriz
- ledgard (8/5): - The position in the old town was great. We checked in online and the door codes worked first time. The room was very small and the bathroom was across the hall.
- VIVIANA (10/5): Excelente espacio para alojarse en San Sebastián. - La ubicacíón, inmejorable! La vista, los.servicios. Cuenta con un frigobar con bebidas y pava para calentar agua y poder prepararse un café/té
Hoteles más caros hemos visitado y no brindan ese servicio No hay nada que no nos haya desagradable.
- Camilla Lund (4/5): - God beliggenhed men billeder var meget misvisende. Tynde vægge!
- Jaime Lazaro (9/5): Fantástica y céntrica - La ubicación y la comodidad
- CHRISTOPHER LUKE (10/5): - Really liked the location of the property, some reviews said you get quite a lot of noise but that was not something that we experienced. The pillows were somehow both hard and very soft, not sure how they managed that but it was still very comfortable.
- Carol (9/5): For a couple of days, an ideal place from which to explore San Sebastián! - We both agreed the location is the stand out feature of Ab Domini followed by the excellent communication with Claudia and the big comfy bed!
We shared a bathroom which was not an issue and the parking, while not nearby, was easy to manage with the clear instructions of the host. We found the windows blocked any sounds from the outside and in fact one night slept with it open. Our September experience may have been different than a summer visit, but it definitely was an enjoyable one for us. The big comfy bed took away space for suitcases. We also were challenged to find a place to hang our towels (the retractable clothesline was a bit inconvenient).
- Karin (7/5): die Lage war perfekt für unseren Aufenthalt - Die Lage war perfekt für unseren Aufenthalt. Die Tiefgarage im Kursaal war nur wenige Gehminuten von der Pension ent-fernt. Das Frühstück haben wir in einem sehr schönen Cafe gleich um die Ecke eingenommen.
- karen (10/5): Ideal, comfortable stay in the old town. - This was our second time staying here. The location is great if you want to be in the old town and close to the pintxos bars and so much else. The host gave us a very warm welcome and made some recommendations. We stayed for six nights and were really happy with everything. We were really comfortable and had lovely white fluffy towels and bathrobes, as well as beach towels provided. WiFi worked well and we loved being so close to everything. If you don't want the sounds of a busy old town, this is not for you but it's exactly what we wanted. The building is typical for the location and old, and there are limits to room size for these traditional buildings, so if you expect something like a standard hotel, you need to manage your expectations as it's a bijoux gem.

- Phoebe (10/5): Absolutely loved it, will be back! - Great location walking distance to everything. The view is amazing overlooking the church. Staff were really helpful! My partner even proposed to me whilst we stayed there ☺️ N/A
- jose ramon (8/5): - La ubicación cerca del centro y playa
- Ai (9/5): 快適すぎた。また泊まりたい。 - ロケーションは抜群です。飲み屋街のど真ん中でハシゴしても余裕で帰ることができます。また、チェックインに関しても、時間に間に合わないときはパスワードを教えてくれますし、チャットの返事も早いです。スタッフが明るくてとても親切。快適に過ごせた。 壁は薄い。隣のシャワーの音は聞こえる。自室にトイレがないのが思った以上に不便だった。次回は少し高くても自分の部屋にトイレが付いている部屋にしたい。
- Palacios (10/5): fabuloso - Beatriz fue muy amable en indicarnos todo y darnos muy buenas recomendaciones Lo único que podría decir es que el baño estaba fuera de la habitación.
- Nelle (9/5): - Cosy, close to everything, not noisy and the staff were very helpful. They provided water, soft drink and a bottle of wine which was a lovely touch.
- Antonio (10/5): -
- Monica (9/5): Perfecto para una noche, bien ubicada cómoda y muy limpia - La habitación es preciosa, con un balcón que da a una iglesia. La cama es enorme y muy cómoda El baño es antiguo y la televisión es enana.
- KHADIR (10/5): -
- Alison (9/5): A warm welcome to a great hotel in a fabulous location - A warm welcome from Beatrix plus a free upgrade to an en suite bathroom from Claudia, the owner - the perfect start to the trip. The beds are very comfortable and the bed linen crisp. Ample towels (and bathrobes and beach towels) are provided. There’s also free soft drinks, water and cava in a mini fridge with champagne glasses on the side. The hotel is in the most perfect location in the old town so close to everything including la Concha beach.
- maurizio (8/5): - Posizione eccezionale per visitare la città, accoglienza molto disponibile per qualsiasi necessità Basterebbero un paio di accorgimenti, rifare il bagno e cambiare il mobile …e diventerebbe da 5 stelle
- Joanne (8/5): Nice views and close to everything. - Loved our stay here. The hotel is located in the old part of town and near enough to everything. Lovely views from the windows and very comfortable. It can get noisy but that is part of the joy of staying in San Sebastian and being close to the bars and restaurants.
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Petrunova (10/5): Definitely recommend - The communication with the host was easy and pleasant and everything we wanted to see was at quite a short walking distance. Great value for money!
- Emmanuelle (9/5): -
- Hanns-Peter (10/5): - Tolle Lage mitten in der Altstadt. Alles problemlos zu Fuß erreichbar.
Sehr nette und zuverlässige Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin.
Ein besonderes Dankeschön gilt Beatriz, die uns immer gut gelaunt mit allen Informationen versorgt und bestens betreut hat.
- Krislbolton (8/5): Great location and fantastic staff - Location is amazing and the hostess is wonderful. Rooms are clean and well presented. Rooms are smaller than they appear in the photos. Basically a bed in a room with little other space. Perfectly workable but don't expect the same as in the photos.
- Celia (6/5): Pleasant - Location was good. Room was cramped- too many things in it.
Previous occupant came into the room. But Claudia did her best to sort the issue.
- Genevieve (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Francois (10/5): Exceptional - The location is amazing!
- Alexia (10/5): Beautiful room, great location. - Beatrice was awesome and really made the stay. Such a friendly lady. The room with 3 big windows and 2 bathrooms was beautiful with lovely views. Great that there are bathrobes and beach towels available for you. Brilliant location in the old town and near both beaches and the river. The office style ceiling was seriously out of place in the beautiful old room, but this is a very minor detail.
- Walker (9/5): Had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend!! - Lovely room and great location. Instructions to access, even though we arrived late, were easy to follow. It was a bit noisy, but that is a product of being in a great location. It was not a big problem though.
- Joe (10/5): A really good place and we will be back. - We were met by a very helpful hostess who showed us around.
The room was spotless and really comfortable.
We were right smack in the middle of the Old Town which is always our plan. It is hard to think of a negative.
- eva maria (10/5): - Atencion por parte de Beatriz estupenda nos ha indicado lugares para pider cenar , registro rspido y muy buena atencion. Muy recomendable
- Melanie (8/5): Super helpful staff, recommending their favourite pinxos places. Room was well maintained daily and the location couldn’ - Location was amazing Should have checked it was by a school that was rather noisy
- Monika (9/5): Perfect Location for Sightseeing and Pinxtos - We had a double room with a shared bathroom but we could use the bathroom exclusively. The other rooms had ensuite bathrooms, so guests didn’t have to use our bathroom.
The room was comfortable and cosy with a small balcony, a good bed, fridge, beach towels, bath robes. There is a heater and a fan - not sure if the latter would be sufficient in summer.
Beatriz and Claudia were very helpful recommending places for pintxos.
The location is excellent-right in the old town and walking distance to the beach. As you would expect with an old building, there is no noise insulation.
- Thomas (8/5): Very good - Great location Loud street noise at night
- James (6/5): Pleasant -
- Scott (8/5): - Good location in old town. Across the street from a scool so the kids were a bit noisy. Great assistance from the host. Comfortabke bed
- Deborah (8/5): Old world charm at very reasonable prices - This place is in a fabulous location, and for those looking for an authentic experience, at a very reasonable price, it is perfect. However, as many other guests have commented, authenticity and old world charm, come at the expense of any type of soundproofing, both internally as you can clearly hear neighbouring rooms, and from the busy square outside. But, simply take earplugs, and enjoy the experience as we did.
- Richard (7/5): Good - Very well located.
Easy check in. When booking I would check whether or not you will be getting the corner room pictured in the first photo otherwise you might end up with one of the much smaller rooms on the side of the building which are obviously less practical for a couple and less value for money
- Blayke (8/5): Very good - Very clean & Quiet Finding the property was challenging
- Kerry (10/5): Beautiful accommodation great location - Good location, and lovely place overall. Comfortable and clean room with a double bed and the bathroom around the corner (detached). Located close to the Old Town, Zurriola Beach and everything really.
Lovely and friendly staff, accommodating and helpful! Hope to be back. N/A
- Brian (9/5): Superb -
- Yuichi (9/5): Superb - Claudia and the receptionist, Beatriz are really kind and supportive.
They helped me a lot so that I received my lost baggage without any problems.
The location is awesome, we reach both the old town and the new one. Also 6 minutes walk from bus stop to the San Sebastian Airport.
- Tipling (10/5): Exceptional - Location perfect. Beatriz reception perfect, gave fabulous recommendations and very helpful, lovely lady.
Bed so comfortable and good size. Shutters made it dark.
Surprisingly quiet for central location.
Parking 5 min walk really easy
We booked the private bathroom.
Can't see an issue with the shared. Make sure know which room.
Wasn't sure if I had the nice corner room or other.
Initial impression quite small but was perfectly fine.
Thought I had sea view, but didn't. Not a problem, great location & street view.
