Hotels near Buen Pastor Cathedral, San Sebastian

On m'a demandé une bonne dizaine de fois si j'étais cliente de l'hôtel car c'était pendant le festival du film. J'avais l'impression de les déranger car j'étais là en simple cliente et non comme invitée du festival. Ou ma tête ne devait pas leur revenir... Quand on paie un hôtel 2 fois plus cher qu'en temps normal à cause de ce festival et qu'on a l'impression d'être un intrus constamment epié... on se dit que l'hôtel n'avait qu'à fermer ses portes aux ”simples” clients pour l'occasion.

Great hotel in fantastic location. New and clean. It’s one block to the old town and all restaurants. The hotel is opposite a small park so very quiet. The best is there is a bus stop to the airport conveniently across the road for when you are ready to leave :-)

**”BAD: Beware of the 'Upgrade'”** Our priority when booking was the room size and budget, so we reserved a 32m² City View room. At check-in, the hotel staff offered us an ”upgrade.” He said that for an additional €25 per day, we could ”upgrade,” so we agreed. However, while the room did have a Sea View, the size was downgraded to just 21m². I told them that paying €25 to have a smaller room was a downgrade, but they insisted that the view had been upgraded. I asked to be moved back to the room we originally booked, but the staff ignored my request for an entire day. Let me ask you this: if you went to see a new landscape, and the view changed, how would you describe it? You wouldn’t say the landscape itself was ”upgraded,” would you? You’d say the view was different or better. The following day, I finally got a response from the staff. They told me I’d need to pay an additional €70 per day if I wanted a 32m² Sea View room. While the hotel facilities and scenery are excellent, the staff are focused entirely on business and seem to aim to squeeze every extra euro from their guests. In the end, we ended up paying the €25. **Beware of the 'Upgrade.'”**

We stayed here for our honeymoon. The attentive staff, service, and the hotel's location and facilities helped us create wonderful memories. We would like to stay here again when we are in San Sebastian.

A very new & clean hotel. Need to take a bus ride to old town via bus or cab.  Journey is abt 15-20mins.  Breakfast at the hotel was decent. Bed was comfy but not the sofa bed, which can feel the metal frame when my kid sleep on it. Relatively value for $ if don’t mind the bus journey. No amenities around the hotel. Good for people who drives as there is free parking available.

A boutique hotel close to the Dona Katalina Zubia. There are two entrances to the hotel, the main one facing the road and the other entrance facing the Urumea River. Staff were friendly and always had a smile. The hotel is quite clean and everything is within 15mins walk. The amenities are limited, but there is a 24 hour reception and bar downstairs, a nice roof top sunbathing area and a gym. Please double check the other amenities listing when booking, as I don't recall seeing the Public Bath, Foot Bath and Clothes Dryer as advertise. I would also suggest to check the batteries of the remotes before someone check ins, as I had to request it to be changed and it wasn't available until the next day, more compliment bottles of water and dental kits (given there was 3 of us and only 2 bottles and 1 kit). Overall though, I enjoyed the stay and would come back again.

Hotels in San Sebastian are very expensive, so I stayed at this hostel. We were assigned a locker, large enough to store suitcases and other large items, and we kept our belongings there. It was nice that it was separate from the sleeping area, so we didn't have to worry about noise. The sleeping area was clean and comfortable. The toilets and showers were just okay... Since it's a hostel, the guest self-governance and etiquette depend on each other, so the comfort level depends on the guest's morals. I planned to stay for three nights, but on my second night, a guest was smoking in the non-smoking sleeping area, and the smell drifted in through the vent (or something like that) in the bed area, creating an unbearable cigarette smell. I tried to endure it and try to find the person smoking, but in the end I couldn't stand it anymore and decided to cut it short after two nights and find another place. Of course, I gave up paying for one night's hotel fee. When I told the hostel manager, he asked me who it was, and I thought, if I knew, I would have warned him myself. In the end, he didn't do anything.

Everything at the hotel is fine ! Beginning with recepshen! Very pleasant smiling staff ! Comfortable bed ! Small room , more suitable for one person or without large luggage in two . In the lobby there is always water with lemon ! Breakfast is delicious and saturated ! For me the most !!!

The pension is easy to find, and staff are very helpful. Beds are comfortable; coffee and tea are available; everything is clean. The only difficulty might be is there is only one bathroom for all the guests. We were here in low season, so didn't have much difficulty, but I can imagine problems in the high season. The pension is in the old part of San Sebastian, so visiting the most picturesque parts is easy, as is visiting nearby villages. Local food is excellent. I highly recommend this pension; excellent value for your money. It's the best base for exploring this part of the Basque Country.

It was a pleasant stay, parking is free and easy scross the road which is a bonus. Although this place is attached to another hotel which is much more impressive, it makes you jealous you are not there!
