What a great place to stay, everything you could ask for, clean, bright and the perfect position. Just away from the busy streets with the many Tapas Bars and shops. We were given an inside room but asked if there was anything else available, the lady was very helpful and as there was a room with a window available she... More

Terrific value, very comfortable, right across the street from the convention center, and only a few minutes' walk from the old town with its terrific pintxos (tapas) bars. I would have no hesitation about recommending this property to friends.

My husband and I stayed at the Pension Kursaal only because it was on the street where I lived in college. It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. It is on one floor of an old building, but the rooms are all very modern and simply furnished. It is in a great location, just across the street from... More

Not a fancy place but very comfortable and across the street from the surfing beach which is way better for swimming than Concha. Rooms have IKEA type furnishings. Beds are comfy. Big bathrooms. The staff is very accommodating. We had interior rooms which have zero view (look into interior spaces) but super quiet. Interior windows do allow nice air flow... More

The rooms was great size and bathroom and especially shower was superb. Location near surfer beach was perfect. Our room was quiet as overlooking the internal covered courtyard but there was no air on and no breeze through the window so if there in summer and you can't take the heat, go elsewhere. Otherwise great alue for money.

For us, Pension Kursaal was ideal! It is located in a lovely spot within walking distance to all the main areas of San Sebastian. The location is quiet, away from the noise of the main bars and the backpacker crowd. We had a room at the back of the Pension that faced onto a large internal courtyard. There is no... More

Me and my boyfriend was happy with the location close to the Zurriola beach but the nights was a bit noisy because of the traffic and a nearby bar. Bathrooms clean and modern!

A good low cost, €89/night, 2 star in Donosita/San Sebastian. Clean, but small rooms, with free WiFi. Staff is excellent in offering help or ideas on things to do. Right off of the Zurriola beach in the Gros section. Lots of eating choices, but everyone is going for pinxtos in Parte Veija. Parte Vejia is less than a 5 minute... More
