Guest Reviews
- Andreas (8/5): Vernünftige Unterkunft , gute Lage - Vernünftige Unterkunft , gute Lage
- Cian (5/5): - The location Towels were dirty
- Joylene (8/5): -
- James (9/5): -
- Mylène (9/5): - Endroit propre, orignal, bien situé, confortable. Les toilettes pourraient être séparés des douches, ça éviterait la file d'attente.
L'enregistrement pourrait être envoyé bien plus tôt (ce n'est pas pratique de recevoir le lien le jour J si on est en voyage !)
- María Vanesa (9/5): - La ubicación de la habitación muy buena y el detalle de la cosas para desayunar Nos dieron la clave mal para acceder y no pudimos salir a cenar fuera como teníamos pensado. Llamamos por teléfono al número que ponía y no nos lo cogieron. Después me llamaron y les volví a llamar y no hubo manera. Nos tuvieron que ayudar otros huéspedes.
La puerta de uno de los baños estaba rota y el calentador de agua estaba quemado.
- ANA MAITE (6/5): - El agua caliente no funcionaba bien ninguno de los dos días.
- Adrian ayuso (10/5): -
- Darragh (10/5): -
- Esther (8/5): Ideale overnachting voor de start van m’n Camino del Norte - De locatie in de oude binnenstad Best gehorig
- Valérie (8/5): - très bon emplacement géographique salles de bain communes
- Mª INES (7/5): -
- Arlene (8/5): Great location in the Old Town! - Location, location, location. Right beside the St. Vincent Church in the Old Town. The very good St. Telmo Museo is just around the corner. Despite restaurants and bars almost next door, the room was fairly quiet, street noises subsiding around 11:00 pm. The room was clean. We asked for 3 singles and this request was met. Beds were comfortable. We rented Rm 12 which was close to the entrance. Unfortunately, the opening and closing of the main entrance door was noisy and could be heard in the room. Luckily the occupants of the other rooms were quiet after 10pm. Opt for Room 14 for a quieter time. The room needs more hooks on the walls to accommodate 3 occupants. The bathrooms were both very clean.
- Alejandra (8/5): Camino de santiago en el off beat - Localizacion, limpieza baño y precio El pestillo del baño esta roto y no funciona
- Cassia (10/5): - amazing location! Highly recommend this stay. Most beautiful room I've stayed in.
- Miriam (10/5): -
- Lodens (9/5): - L'emplacement Rien
- Ingbert (9/5): - great location, supercentral in the old town next to many tapas bars & restaurants, souvenir shops, the sea.
Big bed, spacious room, plenty of hangers, clean toilets, charming ancient building, elevator, superquick automatic check in, good communication, even free water bottle provided + tea kettles!
- HOKUTO (9/5): -
- María (7/5): - La ubicación El ruido por las noches tanto de las personas en la calle como del camión de la basura. Además, no había persiana o contraventana en una de las ventanas y entraba la luz (del camión de la basura) y por la mañana. En uno de los baños había una cucaracha.

- Rose (8/5): - Daily cleanings, especially in bathroom. Water available. Tea kettle in the room. Location was right next to all the amenities, restaurants, and tourist locations I wanted to visit. Few pillows on the bed. Not much space to hang clothes or store luggage.
It stormed one night and some rain came in the window and got my clean clothes wet and dirty so I couldn't wear them the next day.
- Nadine (6/5): Bel endroit moderne au coeur de san Sébastien mais pourrait offrir plus de services - La localisation, la décoration moderne Pas de frigo, pas de tv, pas de petite table sur le balcon et les travaux dans les parties communes même si ils sont nécessaires
- Rubén (9/5): -
- Béatrice (9/5): -
- GAEL (8/5): Très bien - L'emplacement est idéal en plein dans la vieille ville.
La chambre est petite mais le lit est confortable.
Les sanitaires communs sont aux nombres de 2 , et sont très propres.

- Romario (10/5): -
- Sandra (7/5): -
- Rodrigo (10/5): Muy bueno precio calidad ! - Exelente ubicación y limpieza Poca privacidad con el baño en l habitación ya que la pared del baño es como de vidrio esmerilado y se escucha y se ve todo
- robert (10/5): A great guesthouse in the heart of San Sebastian - A great place right in the heart of Pinxto land. Everything you need is on your doorstep.
The whole place was spotless and despite selfservice check-in I felt that there was someone available a Whatsapp message away.
Nice touches like filtered water,lots of tea and coffee sachets, interesting books around the place and a big powerful shower with rain function.
- William (8/5): -
- ANNA (7/5): Molt bé pel que necessitàvem aquests dies q hem vingut a córrer la Behobia. - L'habitació era bonica, molt cèntric. Se sent molt soroll quan obren la porta de fora, perquè rebota tot. Els lavabos eren prou nets per ser compartits, però, com ja he dit al missatge amb l'allotjament directement abans, faltarien papers per eixugar les mans més fàcilment. Els lavabos és el més fluix de l'apartament.
- Victor (10/5): Simple, funcional. Excelente relación precio calidad. - La decoración, todo limpio y ordenado.
- EvaMaria (10/5): -
- sebastian ignacio (8/5): Bueno - La ubicación por lejos es lo mejor, al lado de las atracciones turísticas y los locales para comer. También la habitación era de buen espacio, la cama muy cómoda y todo limpio El ruido fue el gran problema, las políticas de descanso no eran respetadas por todos los inquilinos lo cual dificultaba poder descansar bien. Tal vez se debería ser más estricto en que se respete el horario de descanso
- Borrelli (8/5): - I would prefer a third bathroom, even smaller.
Then the wifi password for the second Wi-Fi is incorrect. I have Only these two suggestions, but our stay was very nice
- Kris (5/5): Lokalizacyjnie super! Bliżej serca miasta chyba nie da się spać. Osoby z lekkim snem to miejsce nie jest dla Was, wszys - Wystrój i lokalizacja i bardzo czysto! Wszystko było słychać , kroki z klatki schodowej , tak samo kroki z korytarza,
- Carlos (8/5): - El sencillo autochecking , y que se pueda consultar por vía wasap con una rápida respuesta, las dudas q te surjan Quizás no me gustó tanto que había un baño (aunque limpio y apañado) para las 4-5 habitaciones de la planta
- Carmen (6/5): Bon séjour. - Principalement, l’emplacement et la déco. Vraiment au top.
Les belles et grandes tasses, la bouilloire, ainsi que les sachets de thé et de café en suffisance dans la chambre. La literie.
Le lit double contre un mur. Hyper pas pratique pour celui qui dort contre le mur. La housse de drap impossible à caler en dessous du matelas et qui se « balade » donc dans le lit.
Les éviers dans les salles de bains communes. Tout tout tout petits. Grand manque de confort et le papier toilette pas suffisamment approvisionné dans ces salles de bain.
- Bertrand (8/5): - L’emplacement central imbattable
- ADISAK (8/5): -
- joae (3/5): trato insultannte y mentiroso - A la salida me enviaron un mensaje que olia a tabaco y que habia restos, respondi que era imposible porque yo con 67 años y cancer superado No fumo, me enviaron una foto sin abarcar lo que era en la habitación, con restos de algo no distinguible, borroso de mm, que si fuera mio quiza, se quedo en las zapatillas y pisé al caminar durante todo el dia por jardines, suelos, aceras y suelo sucio, me amenazo y me dijo que tenia video y le dije que me lo enviara y que si no era cierto, se disculpara , ni se disculparon. ni me envió el video que probara nada, unos golfos, que envian mentiras con amenzas intolerable. No respondieron a si se compartia habitaciones o eran solo un apto. de tres como reservamos.
una politica de cancelacion intolerable, que cobra el 100% de gastos sea cual sea el periodo de cancelacion anticipada
- Andersson (8/5): -
- LE GALLOU (9/5): -
- Domenico (8/5): -
- Aurelie (10/5): - L’emplacement, les chambres, la propreté. Les toilettes et douches partagées sont très propres
Vu l’emplacement et le concept du lieu, il est évident qu’il y a un peu de bruit mais cela est largement vivable.
- Barbara (7/5): -
- Verified traveler (2/5): Ne recommande pas du tout - Mon avis personnel est très défavorable mais je vais être très factuelle et aux autres clientsde juger:
Prix 97,50 € la nuit
Chambre sans salle de bain/ toilette
Chambre sans bureau
A peine la place pour le lit et circuler
Wifi qui coupe sans arrêt
Pas accès à mon propre réseau téléphonique (il faut sortir de l'immeuble)
Les rideaux de la fenêtre sont très clairs. Toute la nuit chaque fois qu'une personne passe (fenêtre donnant sur une coure intérieure) vous êtes éclairé
Fenêtre pas insonorisée (on entend tout de la rue)
Les photos sur le site montrent la chambre avec salle de bain et toilette, ce qui induit en erreur car on ne s'imagine pas à ça vu le prix
Et tout cela sans service puisqu'il s'agit d'un self-checking!
- Alva (6/5): -
- Margaret-Rae (8/5): Amazing location, clean rooms and self check in- great - Location is great! Easy access from the bus station and right in the heart of the old town, can literally see La Vina from the balcony for a world famous cheesecake! Because the reception is self-service there is no luggage hold, but the staff txt us the info of where to buy luggage storage in other parts of town. There are only 2 shared bathrooms available, which can require patience during busy periods
- Verified traveler (6/5): Migliorare l'esperienza di check in - Posizione ottima, stanza pulita e confortevole, nonostante i bagni in comune che però abbiamo trovato sempre in buone condizioni. Unica pecca il check in. Alle 15.30 non avevamo ancora ricevuto i codici, che ci sono stati inviati solo a seguito di chiamata (ufficialmente sono poi arrivati alle 18).
- Luis (7/5): -
- Wardley (8/5): - Very comfortable beds and central location.
- Jk (6/5): Pleasant -
- Angelica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (9/5): Superb -
- Liam (3/5): Great location but too loud - impossible to get a good nights sleep !! - The location is perfect!! it is right in the middle of old town, so just walk out the front door and you are surrounded by all the best bars restaurants. It is also just a 5 minute walk to the beach so you can easily head out for a morning swim (also with the codes on the doors there no need to take a key) There is no sound proofing at all, you can hear everything.
All the doors to the other rooms, the stairs and corridor are extremely noisy and echoey; meaning it is impossible to get a good nights sleep.
Whenever a guest walks up the stairs / down the corridor, whenever a guest wakes up to use the toilet, or if a guest is checking out early, you get woken up. Then cannot get back to sleep for whole time they are wandering around, even if they are trying to be quiet. We bought earplugs but it didn't help.
Part of being on holiday is resting and relaxing but we was not able to do this here, + there is no chance of having a nap during the day because it is even louder.
They need to spend some money on soundproofing the property.
- Aliesha (4/5): Fine for partiers on a budget - The rooms were great value for money (the cheapest we found), they made up our room each day which was absolutely a bonus, and the location was perfect in the the middle of the old town. the lights in our room came on halfway through the night, would not turn off, and people were partying until 5am - we think with a staff member. We weren’t given any money back or any real apology or support.
- Julie (7/5): Enjoyable - Right in old town which was great. Room was clean. Room was snug but nice - quirky cool decor. Had coffee facilities but didnt realise it didnt come with a fridge-I didnt read properly - wasnt really room.
- Sri (8/5): Very good - Comfortable and spacious bed, fluffy pillows, and darkening blinds made for restful sleep. Thin walls and I had the bad luck of staying during renovations, which was forewarned.
- Rebecca (9/5): We had a great stay. The room and location were brilliant - Great location. The room was modern. Shared bathroom facilities were clean. Loved the balcony! Bit noisy on the street outside but that’s beyond the control of the property
- Kira (7/5): Nice location, nice room. If you dont care about the relational aspect at all its fine. - The room and location were nice. Communication was very basic. No accomodation for flexibility. It was nice enough on the outside but felt empty and cold.
- Brett (7/5): Good - Good location Check in system. Only two bathrooms for all rooms.
Worst of all was the number of signs saying don't do this, don't do that.
Felt like a primary student.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Luc (4/5): Scandaleusement cher - Terriblement déçu
Surtout pour un rapport qualité prix assez scandaleux pour une chambre simple donnant sur une petite cour sombre, sans même un lavabo. Salle de bain et toilettes séparées.
Même pas une nuit complète (21h si on compte l’arrivée après 15h et le depart obligé à 12h).
Sans compter les messages écrits menaçant des amendes les hotes s'ils salissent trop les serviettes de toilette ou s'ils font du bruit. Franchement ça donne envie de fuir.
- Susan (5/5): The Off Beat Guesthouse was extremely comfortable and had many thoughtful touches. - The room was beautiful and extremely comfortable. Water was set out, and the coffee pot filled, ready to go. I thought that was very thoughtful. Hallways had bright led lights, which was a plus. The shared shower was clean I arrived late evening in rain. The door was so poorly lit, I was unable to find the entry. A passerby was kind enough to help me locate the door. Once in, it was a dark, narrow stairway with debris. Going up the stairs I saw the sign for the guesthouse and entered the code. Once in, it was lovely.
- Patricio (8/5): Very good -
- Zsombor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Caitlin (10/5): Exceptional - Warm, clean and cosy! Could use a small fridge in the room
- Verified traveler (4/5): Déçu - La chambre en elle même était propre, cependant l’enregistrement doit se faire au téléphone, près de 30 min de perdue pour avoir le code d’accès, et surtout grande surprise, aucune indication pour dire que ce sont des chambres avec des sanitaires communes, cette « surprise » a gâchée le séjour.
Mais l’endroit est bien situé malgré tout et reste correct que pour une nuit
- Verified traveler (2/5): Zero service - chambre non nettoyée - Chambre non nettoyée, aucun employé dans l’hôtel, demandé par téléphone de rappeler le lendemain aux heures de bureau. Du jamais vu.
Heureusement expédia a fini par trouver un autre hôtel à 20 min à pied.
- Nigel (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (10/5): Fantastic. - Close to the city centre, convenient and clean rooms and beds. nothing
- Sukocheva (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rob (10/5): Stay at this lovely charming hotel - If you are traveling through the middle of France it would be a mistake to skip Tours. It would be a bigger mistake to not stay at Francois’s wonderful old fashioned hotel. You will be delighted
- Janet (9/5): Safe, convenient location; I felt like a local in the area. They made efforts to clean often. - I liked the safe and convenient location.
I can tell they consistently put effort into cleaning the shared bathroom and bedrooms, similar to the typical hotel. The cleaner lady was also very sweet. I wished I had more walking space in the bedroom.
The walls were thin - I had a work call in the morning and someone was knocking on the walls (assuming they wanted me to keep it down).
- Rebecca (8/5): Cute, ideally positioned, amazing view of the church and street life from the balcony! - This is a cute and functional guesthouse in the best possible location. We stayed in the twin room looking out onto the street and had a lovely little balcony from which we could see the oldest church in San Sebastián just opposite and all the street life coming and going. Yes, that means it’s a bit noisy! But it’s just perfect if you want to be part of San Sebastián - the famous cheesecake place La Viña is just opposite, the festival bands will parade the streets (check if there’s a festival when you visit and then throw yourself into it) and all the pintxos bars are right there. We had a wonderful time. All the bars close by 11.30 anyway.
The art is funky and cool, the folks are friendly and helpful. If you want your sheets changing you can just put the sign on your door, otherwise they leave you be (we appreciated this as we were sleeping in). Check in was easy and the cleaners and reception staff (not always there) were friendly. I saw people complaining about noise, but honestly, if you choose to stay facing into the street in the middle of the old town, I don’t know what you expect? We didn’t hear anything from other rooms.
Obviously it would be lovely to have a private bathroom but we couldn’t afford a hotel with en-suite. The shared bathrooms were cleaned at least once a day (I think twice). I just want to counteract some of the negativity I saw in here, I thought they were perfectly fine.
- Stewart (8/5): Very good -
- Victoria (9/5): Superb - location perfect, room much bigger than expected. Very clean and good tea and coffee facilities.
- Mary (8/5): Very good -
