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
The view from my balcony. At night the street is full of partying people!!

Just perfect.

Absolutely fabulous. Brilliant location and room's are great, probably the comfiest beds we've had. Some rooms have shared bathrooms but this didn't bother us at all, they're spotless and seemed to be cleaned everytime they were used. Luca is very helpful. Wouldn't go anywhere else next time we go to San Sebastian.

Perfectly located

A perfect location in the heart of the old town on a street with 3 Michelin-rated restaurants. Anything you might want to eat or drink within 5 minutes walk. Luca could not have been more helpful in pointing out the best places to go, and made sure our room remained spotlessly clean throughout our stay.

Great hotel right in the centre of San Sebastian!

The hotel was very well located in the Old Town of San Sebastian. The room was spotless clean and had a balcony which was great. The shared bathroom was also super clean and had all the amenities you needed. I definitely recommend staying here!

Great location

Great location in one of the laneways of the old town, easy to access all the city. Spotlessly clean, everything you could need. Room sounded small when we booked but was actually just right, Great shower. Bed was average.Lots of noise from the laneway but once the windows were closed 95% noise was gone. Large bathroom window ( no noise that side) and a fan made the room comfortably cool. The shared kitchen with basic breakfast needs was really handy. The owner gave us lots of suggestions for where to eat and where things were which was appreciated and helpful. I would stay again for sure if we revisited.

In the Heart of Old San Sebastian

Fine place in an amazing Basque Old Town that's full of bars, shops, night-life energy and the amazing Pintxos culture (regional tapas). Luca and his partner Kelley are fun and will do all at their command to make your stay comfortable. He's full of great tips. They even brought us a large fan when temperatures began to climb and, not to forget, installed a phone when we travelled without a mobile one. Speaking of climbing: there's no elevator, and the accommodations are on the 2nd floor, but Luca will immediately give you a hand with your luggage.

We got delayed driving to San Sebastián from Bordeaux because of road construction on the AP. Luca and Kelly waited for us and answered our calls promptly for guidance on parking and walking to the hotel in the middle of Fermin Calbeton ( oldcity) with Pintxos Bars every few feet and filled with Saturday night crowd. After check-in and directions to “must-see/do” in their vibrant city, they sat down and chatted with for awhile in the hotel’s kitchen. They were like old friends welcoming us to their home.

The good bits: Great location, nice room, really nice bathroom, kitchen available to use with breakfast provided. The bad bits: We arrived early and there was a problem with the bathroom so the owner spent ages in there with a tradesman to get it fixed. This is fine but then once we'd checked into the room and were taking a nap he knocked on the door and needed to come into the bathroom - not appropriate! Felt like it wasn't private.
