Guest Reviews
- BELLY (10/5): A réserver les yeux fermés - Accueil de Lucas au top, efficace à l'écoute. Appartement à côté du marché de la plage des bus du parking et des bars restaurants... Le prix du parking est quand même de 31€ .. arrivé à 16h00 reparti à 11h00...
- Philippa (10/5): Perfect place to stay for exploring San Sebastián. - Centrally located in the old city.
Balcony with street views & windows that open. Very clean & comfortable and great hospitality provided by Luca. Nothing
- Silvia (8/5): -
- Richard (9/5): -
- Jackson (8/5): -
- Marie (10/5): Super séjour - L’emplacement idéal.
Super accueil, le propriétaire nous a donné beaucoup d’informations sur les environs.
Une propreté irréprochable.
Lit super confortable. Ce n’est pas vraiment quelque chose de négatif, mais qui peut déranger, je ne l’ai vu dans aucun commentaire donc ça peut être utile: si la lumière du jour vous dérange pour dormir, il n’y a pas de volet et les rideaux occultant laissent passer le jour sur les côtés. Cela nous a pas empêché de bien dormir car lit très confortable.
- Bernard (8/5): -
- Prothero (10/5): Exceptional location and service - Luca was really friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He and Kelly keep the rooms and bathroom spotless. The location is a highlight. The double glazing helps with the late night noise, pack some earplugs and you won't hear a thing. So great to have old town on your doorstep and a comfortable and safe place to rest! Leaving :(
- Rungkarn (10/5): A Gem! - Location - nowhere else can beat this.
Service - the owner is friendly and give us great advices on where to eat and it spots on!
No noise from the street bothers our rest although the apartment is in the heart of Pintxo bar street. Na da
- KAZUAKI (9/5): ここに泊まって良かった! またここに泊まりたい! - サンセバスチャン旧市街地のど真ん中にあり、旧市街地で食べ飲み歩きするには最高の立地だった。
建物および施設への入口のセキュリティもしっかりしていて、安心感があった。 予めわかっていたことではあるが、バス・トイレが1部屋内にあり共用のため、トイレに行きたい際に誰かがシャワーを使っていないかと余計な心配をした。
- Frank Willem (6/5): Voor wie zelf laat opstap is prima en wel aan de prijzige kant - Vriendelijke ontvangst door eigenaar. Onrustige nacht ondanks dubbel glas,tot in late uurtjes veel uitgaans rumoer vanaf de straat.
- Soledad (10/5): -
- Russell (10/5): Great room in a great location - Location was fantastic and Luca was a terrific host. Room was clean and comfortable. Nil
- Dana (9/5): -
- Rotem (10/5): Excelente. - Me gustó mucho la ubicación, y el trato. Todo muy bien.
El único detalle es que el baño es compartido.
Pero la verdad que está muy bien cuidado y siempre muy limpio.
- Rod (10/5): perfect for us - we’ll be back if we can. - we’ve stayed in San Sebastián 9 times in the last 9 years, in 7 different lodgings. Pensión Old City House is right up there with the best.
Unbeatable location in the heart of the old town in amongst the action -
Lovely tiny terrace allowing access to a cracking street view - but with double-glazing effective enough to keep out all street noise.
Modern room - large, comfortable bed, good shower, small fridge and kettle available on demand.
Spotlessly clean with daily room servicing included.
A generous check out time of 11:30am as standard was appreciated. Good wifi.
And a really wonderful host - Luca - who genuinely seems to enjoy meeting and engaging with his guests and is on hand (on Whatsapp if not in person) to give help and advice.
We loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.
Thank you! having to leave?
- Joel (9/5): - Great value for the location, clean and very hospitable
- MONIQUE (7/5): - Situation Salle de bains sur papier
- Kay (8/5): Great location & great host - Perfect We had to share a bathroom which wasn’t ideal
- Martinelli (9/5): - Très bien reçu par notre hôte et le logement est tres bien placé.
- Deiniol (10/5): - Luca was lovely, perfect location, nice room, great weekend.
- Bolaños (9/5): -
- Léo (9/5): -
- Janusz (9/5): - Blisko do PUBLICZNEGO płatnego parkingu. Pieszo dwie minuty. Optymalna lokalizacja w centrum miasta.
- Kathy (10/5): Great place to stay - The location was perfect. Centre of old town. Our host Luca made us feel so welcome. The room and facilities were spotless. The bed was very comfortable and although we were in a very busy area , when the window was closed it cut out the noise adequately. Slept very well and would highly recommend this establishment. Nothing. It was perfect.
- Nikon (9/5): -
- Ciaran (5/5): -
- Jacqui (10/5): - We were a bit worried about the shared bathroom arrangement but the bathroom was huge, super clean and modern and it was always available when we needed it.
Luca was fabulous and friendly. The ical invitation sent to us by Bookings.com gave us the wrong address and due to our lack of Spanish language, made it difficult for us to find the location. Do not rely on the calendar invite. Make sure you go into the Bookings App or ask the host for the address and directions.
- Oksana (8/5): -
- Ricardo (7/5): Prima accommodatie. - Locatie is centraal gelegen midden in old town. Veel lawaai op straat. Maar daar kies je voor.
- Daniel (10/5): - Great place to stay. Extremely well located and very comfortable. Luca is a great host!
- Gerson (7/5): Great location - Location is great in the old town, right in the hussle and bustle of the busy food district. Luca has great tips on where to eat and go. The room is bright and very clean. Overall, we had a good experience. The busy location means you can't sleep with the window open, but when closed, there is no noise from outside at all. Inside the guesthouse, the walls are thin, and you hear everyone moving around. Facilities are basic. Unfortunately, the only toilet is in the shared bathroom, which is not convenient.
- Valentina (10/5): Super, um San Sebastian zu erkunden! - Sehr sauber, top Lage, Luca war unglaublich nett! Gemeinschaftsbad war immer sauber und modern.
- CLAIRE (9/5): Fantastic experience! Quiet, clean & comfortable room in the centre of town with free local tips :) -
- Stephen (10/5): Superb. Great location etc. San Sebastián must be on everyone’s bucket list and there’s nowhere better to stay. - Everything. Stayed there exactly a year ago. Last year I casually mentioned that it would be nice to have a kettle in the room. When we arrived, presto, a kettle. I love that attention to detail and making the customer feel valued. New fan also installed which was excellent. Luca is a marvellous host. We had to leave.
- Damien - (5/5): Le rapport qualité-prix est très décevant. - L’établissement est très bien situé, en plein centre historique de la ville, ce qui facilite les visites à pied. • Le rapport qualité-prix est médiocre : la chambre est très petite et il n’y a qu’une seule salle de bain (douche + toilettes) pour tout le palier, à partager avec les cinq chambres. L’accès à cette salle de bain était donc très difficile, surtout le matin.
• Le bruit est un réel problème : à l’extérieur, l’ambiance festive dure tard dans la nuit, et à l’intérieur, les allées et venues des autres clients perturbent fortement le repos.
• La chaleur est difficile à supporter l’été : aucune climatisation ni ventilation n’est proposée pour une chambre si petite et mal isolée.
- Van der Elsen-Beerlage (9/5): Prima verblijf om te onder te dompelen in het leven in San Sebastián - Luca is heel vriendelijk en gastvrij. Leuke tips en behulpzaam
- Sam57 (9/5): Super logement - Le propriétaire est très sympa et donne beaucoup de conseil, situation parfaite pour visite et plage. Chambre très propre et bien équipée attention pas de Clim mais ventilateur de plafond
- Guillem (8/5): -
- Mariska (9/5): Geweldige locatie - Geweldige locatie midden in het oude centrum van San Sebastián. Super vriendelijke ontvangst met veel tips voor de stad. Mooie ruime kamer met eigen badkamer voor ons (niet alle kamers hebben dat, let op bij boeken). Verkoeling door een plafond ventilator die weinig geluid maakte, prima voor ons. Met het raam dicht bijna geen geluid uit de straat met het raam open uiteraard wel, maar dat hoort bij de locatie.
Parkeren kan in de nabij gelegen parkeergarage Boulevard Telpark. Het opladen en voordeliger tarief via de app lukte ons niet omdat als herkomstland alleen Spanje of Portugal aangegeven kan worden… Het was een duur verblijf, omdat ons verblijf in de Semana Grande, het jaarlijkse zomerfestival, viel. Het was echter zo leuk om een keer mee te maken dat we het geld er wel voor over hadden.
- Frédéric (9/5): - Proximité
- Trond Ørjan (8/5): -
- Guest (8/5): - Perfect location and incredibly clean hotel room and bathroom. Luca was very helpful and sent lots of recommendations which was a lovely touch! It was very hot when we visited - some air con in the rooms would have helped but I recognise this is not a simple or cheap addition!
- Karolina (9/5): For one night - perfect - Location in the heart of San Sebastián, so it means when you open the window - it is super loud. Super clean and comfy rooms and beds. Cozy place, with super comfort. It was a bit surprise to share the bathroom with other guests.
- Fedde (6/5): Aardige host, goede locatie maar er blijft veel te wensen over, zeker voor deze prijs - We kregen een super vriendelijke ontvangst, de locatie is geweldig midden in oude centrum. Door de ligging in het oude centrum, is er altijd geluid… beter altijd herrie en dan ook echt altijd. Omdat onze kamer alleen een ventilator heeft waren we wel genoodzaakt om de deuren open te zetten zodat het (nachtleven) geluid naar binnen denderde. De kamer is zeer klein met voor ons een te zacht bed. Tevens waren wij verrast over de gedeelde badkamer, daar gaan we in het vervolg op letten want dat willen we niet nog eens.
- Leslie (10/5): Great place to stay with superb Location - Location is superb, near to the bars with good pinxos and the beach. Room is noise proof and has a ceiling fan which help with the hot weather at night. Luca has been very great with giving us suggestion where to have good pinxos and recommendable restaurants. We we're able to witness the fireworks overlooking at Apaizen Pasialekua for Semana Grande opening. Thanks to Luca's heads.up. Nothing
- Florian (10/5): - Très bien !!! Pas méchant mais je pense qu’une raclette de douche serait un petit plus pour la SDB commune.
Le propriétaire est très sympa 🤙
- Matthijs (10/5): - Perfect location, comfy bed
- Ana (9/5): -
- Birgith (10/5): -

- Frederic (8/5): -
- Genevieve (10/5): Right in the middle of old town - It was close to all the interesting stuff in San Sebastián. The windows really blocked out the noise from people partying at the Pintxos bars all along the street. Very walkable! When checking in you will have to walk a couple of blocks with your luggage- it's in a pedestrian zone so no cars/taxis allowed
- Odille (8/5): Fijne kamer in een levendige straat - Het is een kleine kamer in een levendige straat in het oude centrum, maar alles is aanwezig. Het is echt een belevenis, de stad bruist en de locatie is op loopafstand van de zee. Luca heeft goede tips voor eetgelegenheden gegeven. Er is een parkeergarage op een paar minuten lopen.
- A (10/5): Such a cozy and welcoming place! - The room was super comfy and really clean. The place had a warm, homey vibe and felt very welcoming. It's in a great location, right on a street full of well-known bars, which was super convenient. Even though it’s in a lively area, the room was really quiet thanks to good soundproofing. The host was super friendly and quick to respond to my questions. I also received great recommendations on where to go and what to check out, so even with a short stay, I got to enjoy San Sebastián to the fullest. I would definitely love to stay here again!

- Klaus (10/5): -
- Julieta (10/5): Excelente - Muy confortable la habitación, muy bien equipada. La ubicación es excelente, la zona es súper animada y todas las atracciones están cerca o fácilmente accesibles desde la pensión. Ante cualquier duda está Luca para ayudar. Lo recomiendo sin lugar a dudas
- Perez (9/5): -
- Isaac Garzon (9/5): - Easy access, balcony view of the street, clean facilities. It was a bit warm with the bedsheets available during summer travel.
- Darren (8/5): Great base for the Reale Stadium for the Springsteen concert - Central, clean, welcoming. Didn't realise shared bathroom with other room (s) - but wasn't an issue.
- janice (9/5): Will definitely stay again.. - Fabulous location right in the centre of the Old Town, and about 5 mins walk to the beach too. Super efficient balcony doors kept out any street noise, I'm a light sleeper and never heard a thing outside. Immaculately clean - I had a room with a shared bathroom and it was cleaner than my own bathroom at home (!) - you wouldn't know you are sharing with 2 other rooms. Luca and his colleague were so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Clean sheets and towels, water in fridge restocked, waste bin emptied etc. Easy check in, there is a lift to the apartments, and Luca was there to greet me on arrival. Felt safe even late at night, main corridor had CCTV which was reassuring too. I travel with my own kettle/hairdryer etc but Luca did offer to provide them if needed (hairdryer is in the bathroom for general use) - ask if you need a kettle! Ironing board in the room too. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Luca x Nothing really - there is no aircon which I was aware of on booking, but the weather was very hot during my stay. There is a good ceiling fan which did its job, but its not aircon so if you need a cold room that may be something to consider.
The room was quite expensive considering it had the shared bathroom, BUT, still better value than other places in San Sebastian seeing as Bruce Springsteen was in town and accommodation was at a premium. Still would stay again!! 👍
- Ulijona (9/5): Great place, would stay here again - Great place in the heart of old town, small but tidy and clean. Host speaks good english and gives plenty recomendations. Its not a issue with the apartament but keep in mind there is a club close by which opens on friday, it migh be an issue if you are a light sleeper
- Alison (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back - Location. Luca was very friendly and helpful. Nothing to dislike
- Colin (10/5): Excellent location in the heart of old town, yet well sound proofed. - Location and cleanliness. Compact for price.
- Charlotte (10/5): Would stay here again! - Couldn’t have been in a better location, right in the old town on a street with lots of lovely bars and restaurants. In the evenings there was a lovely atmosphere that could be heard from the streets when the balcony door was open, however when it came time to sleep all I had to do was close the door and I couldn’t hear a sound! Luca was an amazing host giving excellent recommendations and checking in throughout my stay that everything was ok. The room itself is lovely and clean with a great shower and even a fridge. Would definitely stay here again! Nothing it was perfect

- Espino Chirino (9/5): - La ubicación espectacular, la habitación super bien, y el anfitrión muy amable. La única sugerencia es que la insonorización es mala en las paredes interiores, se debería mejorar, la exterior es magnífica y a pesar de estar en pleno centro no se escucha nada.
- Michael (8/5): -
- Yannick (7/5): bien - EMPLACEMENT CENTRAL, très bon accueil et ponctuel Les toilettes partagées étaient bien précisées mais ce n'est pas pratique. Pas d'air conditionné et impossible de laisser les fenêtres ouvertes à cause du bruit extérieur
- MARIA (8/5): Parfait - Nous avons apprécié notre séjour dans cette pension , et avons été sensible à l’accueil que nous a réservé Luca et au temps pris pour nous donner quelques précieuses recommandations.
Les chambres sont parfaites et très propres
L’emplacement est idéal
- Yann (9/5): -
- MARIA DEL MAR (10/5): Estancia estupenda - Me gustó todo en general. Superlimpio. Cuidado hasta el mas mínimo detalle. Habitación muy bonita y muy bien situada. El dueño muy amable y te ofrece todo tipo de información para que te muevas por San Sebastián.
Cuando vuelva a la ciudad sin duda repetiremos
- Marine (9/5): -
- Eduardo (9/5): -
- RICARDO (8/5): - Todo un detalle, el agua en la nevera y el jabon en el cuarto de baño
- Janeczko (9/5): -
- Marie (5/5): Je ne reviendrai pas - La chambre était propre Prix trop élevé pour une Salle de bain commune et pas de petit déjeuner. Même dehors on a rien trouvé d’ouvert à 8h30.
- SAEZ (8/5): Très agréable et un accueil très chaleureux. Merci pour tout - l'accueil de Luca très chaleureux et il m'a donné plein de bons conseils pour découvrir les lieux. La chambre était très agréable et très propre avec une belle salle de bain et un lit très confortable. un petit peu bruyant mais c'était normal puisque j'ai sejourne en plein week end de carnaval.
- Hu (10/5): - Schönes Zimmer mitten in der Altstadt. Durch die isolierten Fenster konnte und den Ventilator konnte man auch gut schlafen. Sehr netter Gastgeber mit guten Tipps für leckeres Essen. Also alles prima 😊
- Steve (9/5): Host Luca was very cheerful and helpful. - Excellent location, very clean and comfortable. No kettle for a morning cuppa.
- punka_3 (6/5): Clean and comfortable property in the heart of the old town but very noisy at night. - Fantastic location right in the heart of the old town. Everything was walkable and there were so many bars and restaurants in the surrounding streets. Two lovely beaches were close by. I really loved San Sebastián and property owner Luca gave us loads of great tips for nearby restaurants and things to do.
Really comfortable bed and immaculately clean room and shared bathroom. On both nights of my stay, it was very noisy at night due to loud and drunken people in the nearby bars and streets. Even with the windows shut and earplugs in, I still couldn’t sleep due to the volume. By the time the noise subsides in the early morning, the bin trucks start coming round and emptying the recycling, so there’s not even a chance to just sleep in to catch up on sleep! It’s a great property but I wouldn’t recommend staying in the old town unless you are a very deep sleeper and can sleep through anything!
During my trip it was cooler temperatures so it wasn’t too hot in the room, but the lack of fan and AC would be an issue in the hotter months. Opening the window at night would not be an option due to the noise.
