Pensión Kursaal

If I could give 10 stars, that still wouldn't be enough. Great place, great people!! Love San Sebastian, too!!

Wonderful property, booked at the last minute. Great price, location was good to everything and the staff is wonderful! Highly recommend Brent

There are some important things to know for families or people with access issues to know: immediately entering the property is a small set of ~8 stairs. There is a lift fitted but this was not working when we arrived and they wanted a €50 deposit for a key to use it while we were there. After this set of stairs, there is a spiral staircase up with a very small antique lift going up to Pension Kursaal and the other floors. This lift worked great, but would very likely be too narrow of an entrance for most wheelchairs, our stroller only just fit. And then, on the first floor, there is just a big step into the hotel reception with no ramp. As you can imagine, I ended up carrying and lifting a stroller in and out of this place quite a bit. Not super difficult but a hassle, and would be maybe impossible for a wheelchair. The room we had was good. However, the noise from outside was very loud, particularly on Saturday night. We were woken up by people shouting and laughing outside multiple times, as well as a garbage truck coming at both 1130pm and 0400am. The other nights were not nearly as bad. If you are staying out till 1am enjoying the pintxos and drinks, you'll probably be fine, but not great for trying to get an early night as a family. The staff were very nice and made great recommendations. They were the best part of the stay.

Great location, easy walking distance to all areas. Area felt safe around the hotel. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Personally the only thing missing was tea/coffee making facilities in the room as these are only available in the reception area.

Definitely lives up to the hype! Absolutely lovely room - spacious, warm, comfortable, good bathroom, even a fridge. Super comfy bed, proper king sized. Lovely staff too. Location was the best - across from the beach and parking garage, 3 minutes from the old town, bars all around. I cannot believe how good it was for the price. I don't hesitate to recommend 110%!

Positives:Great location close to everything. Staff very friendly. Negatives:very spotty WiFI and mattress was too soft. Middle back sunk deep and body was very uneven sleeping.

Ideal location with dining, beach, parking, all nearby. Easily walkable to most attractions in San Sabastian. Entry was under construction, and our room was off the entrance making it noisy as guests came and went. Although not sure there really is anything quiet to this city being so loved all hours by all people.

Hotel is in a great location in San Sebastian. A 5 minute walk into the old city with all the attractions and bus transport. Also just down the street from hotel are many restaurants. Staff, particularly Leire, very helpful and extremely nice. Great place to stay in San Sebastian.

The room was very clean, had a small balcony, the bed was comfortable and staff was friendly. Although in a busy area, it was quiet at night and the blinds were very effective. The only downside was that the room was small but ok for a few days.

Excellent choice. Very convenient for all sights. and very good staff. Accommodation comfortable and well kept. Staff very helpful with guidance about area. The local area is worth spending time good restaurants and nice atmosphere. Only downside was noise about 3-00 am from rubbish collectors. This would not affect all rooms.

Staff were very friendly and helpful Room was great - everything as described Bed comfortable, quiet room, everything worked well. No complaints. I think we will be back.

The room was more than sufficient for what we like, which is a great bed, a good shower, and the option for coffee in the morning. We like basic rooms and this was fantastic modern contemporary. The building itself is very quaint & up to date Check-in was superb and easy. The location is phenomenal with wonderful dining options for all budgets just outside your door. the beach and promenade was a two minute walk. The bus terminal was no more than 10 minutes walking via beautiful gardens and along the Riverside. I will not hesitate to come here again. The staff at reception with phenomenally, friendly and helpful.

This property had a really easy check in process using a key code. We came late due to train delays and found the staff very friendly and easy to message with. The bed was very comfortable with good pillows and blankets. It was a short walk from the train station and in a great location for food and exploring.

Excellent service and accommodations in a great location.

The location was great, close to the beach, restaurants, the old town, and a large parking garage. The room had effective A/C, a fridge, a comfortable bed, and black-out curtains. The balcony is very small, but large enough for two people to squeeze onto. The coffee in the reception area was surprisingly good. The receptionist was super nice and helpful; she gave detailed instructions on how to work the coffee machine and the parking payment system, and also gave a great recommendation for where to watch the Euro Cup matches. Only things to beware of: 1. The hotel does NOT accept American Express, even if Expedia's booking system suggests otherwise. 2. Expedia may say that payment is due "upon arrival at the property", but in reality your card will be charged about a week before your stay begins. 3. The daily parking rate is subject to change. When we booked, it said the rate was 18 euro/day, but it ended up being 24 euro/day.

Easy location, great parking across street at reduced rate. You can walk to all sites from hotel no need to drive. Free coffee in reception. Super safe also

Nice room at convenient location

All the amenities. The spacious and up to date rooms. Staff was nice and helpful (they answered all my questions with the nicest possible manners) The hotel is conveniently located to everything in San Sebastian. The feeling is like you are in a boutique hotel (although with much more competitive rates). It's the kind of place where you want to come back to saty here.

Beautiful little Pension in a very nice area 10 minute walk from the bus station. Just a short walk across the bridge to the old town. Great beds lots of hot water. Kettle in the room always a nice touch. Staff lovely.

A very nice place to stay. A few minutes walk across the river from the old town and close to restaurants, bars and shops. The Kursaal entertainment centre was across the road and the beach a few minutes away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is an old-fashioned lift. Parking would be difficult and there is no allocated set down area on-street for the Pension. A great place. Room very comfortable.
