Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No breakfast served — While some guests mention a good breakfast selection, the hotel doesn't list a breakfast service – you'll need to plan for meals at nearby cafes.
- Rooms are compact — The pension offers standard double or twin rooms with limited space – not a resort-style property. Some guests may find rooms snug if expecting more space.
- Limited public areas — Wi-Fi is available in public areas rather than throughout the building, so coverage may be inconsistent in rooms.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is clear that pets are not permitted.

Getting around San Sebastian
The property sits in San Sebastian.
Gros Beach: A short walk from the pension, Gros Beach is a local favourite for surfing and sunbathing. It's less crowded than La Concha but just as accessible.
