Pension Kursaal

Our room was very comfortable. Great bed, towels, linens and so forth. Staff very helpful. Just a short walk across the bridge and you are in the heart of Old Town San Sebastian. Gros was fun too. The worst part was parking the car. It is confusing when you first get there because your GPS wants to take you to the hotel, but you have to pass it and drive a ways and then make a U-turn back to the parking. Once you get into the parking lot, it is very easy to get to the hotel. Even though it is on a busy corner, the room was very dark and quiet. We had a perfect experience. Oh...the lobby is up one floor when you arrive and the old elevator DOES work so don't carry your luggage up the stairs :-)

Great location easily to get to old town but just across the bridge in gros. Hotel was clean, super friendly. easy access was able to get in late after reception was closed. Would stay again.

We had a room facing the interior courtyard and it was very quiet, even on a Saturday night. Staff spoke English and were friendly and helpful. Good location with everything within walking distance. Hotel gives you a discount to park in the parking garage right across the street, but be forewarned, the parking garage people don’t speak English and the staff was rude. We almost weren’t able to get our car out for an early morning flight because the garage isn’t staffed until 7:00 am and our ticket to get out wasn’t working even though we paid.

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

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.

Ubicación excelente, llegamos con un código para entrar en todas la puertas, la pensión es muy limpia, confortable y tiene café y té de cortesía. En fin no me hubiese imaginado tal nivel de servicio por el precio que pagado. Volveré

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.

部屋の天井が高かったので広く感じ、窓から通りの景色も見れて良かったです。エレベーターが手動で少し戸惑いましたが、普通には使えました。

The front desk receptionist was amazing!!! The best one we’ve had on our 3 week trip. It was difficult to find the parking garage and hotel location, but we eventually found both. Do not expect to find street parking. The parking garage is right on the water by the beach and hotel is across the street - very short walk. Large barhroom, air conditioning and walkable to dining options. But, about 20 minute walk to old town, etc.

Nice room, very clean, friendly staff, easy walk to old town

Great location for exploring city. Walking distance to beaches and old town. Lots of local places also for food and drink. Supermarket a few doors down also. Room clean and comfortable. Fridge in room. Rooms serviced daily. Would book again

Pension Kursal features no frills nice rooms that are very clean and walkable to restaurants, bakeries, the bus station and the old town. We arrived when there was staff to buzz us in - not sure how you arrange for the door code and room code if you arrive after 5 pm local time.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, Zimmer einfach aber sauber und zweckmäßig. Zentrale Lage nahe der Alt- bzw. Innenstadt. Parkgarage zum Sondertarif direkt gegenüber.

EXCELLENT LOCATION with access to everything!!! We had never stayed at a Pension, didn’t even really know what it was. We were pleasantly SURPRISED!! Customer service was superior, smaller hotel so it felt more intimate and safe. The room and bathroom were very clean with AC, towel dryer, wifi, all the basic amenities you get at other hotels, YET, reasonably priced and in an amazing location. You won’t be disappinted.

Clean place, comfortable beds. Great location. It exceeded my expectations and I can recommend this place if you want a clean and comfortable place without paying the price for a fancy hotel.

Very clean! Large shower and large vanity counters in bath. Room was cool but somewhat humid. Great location. Would definitely stay here again.

Le ragazze alla reception sono state davvero molto accoglienti e ci hanno dato moltissimi consigli utili per visitare la città e ci hanno dato degli asciugamani extra per la spiaggia. Camera basic ma con tutto il necessario e molto pulita. Tornerei sicuramente per la posizione che è a dir poco perfetta. Molto positiva anche la convenzione con il parcheggio pubblico di fronte.

Utrolig bra sted. Super service, gode senger og bra renhold. Elsket å bo her, og kommer gjerne tilbake. Gangavstand til alt.

Parfait. Bonne prestation de la ville et des activités. Parle très bien Français. Logement très propre et peu bruyant. Parfait je recommande fortement !

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.

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.

The Pension Kursaal is, as the name indicates, right across the road from the Kursaal and it is an easy walk to the old and new parts of San Sebastián or into Gros, the local neighbourhood. Rooms are compact and comfortable. Coffee (in the daytime) and tea can be made in the reception lobby. The lady at Reception gave us some good tips on things to do and places to eat.

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.

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.

The receptionist was incredible at outlining the spots and dishes to try. We basically swore by her recommendations and had an incredible time

The most friendly, ultra helpful staff of our 5 week trip through Europe (sorry, I can’t remember how to spell her name but it was something like Leidie). Fabulous location, near a beach and just a quick stroll across the bridge into Old Town and the rest of the city.

We liked that it felt comfortable not like a hotel with no atmosphere. They gave us some nice advice for things we can do for free. We didn’t know the museum is free every Tuesday. They recommended a restaurant because w couldn’t make up our mind and the food was good so good we went the next night. Great stay

Staff is very nice and nice they gave us a lot of tips for how to dine and what to see

This property was amazing. Value for money, has the loveliest staff I’ve had on all my travels - with good suggestions and a willing to help. The location was perfect for us, and for places a little far, it was easy to grab public transport near by.

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.

Nos dio mucha información respecto a la ciudad , una maravilla de recepcionistas con mucha cultura sobre la ciudad sobretodo gastronómica. Repetiriamos sin lugar a duda

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.

Excellent accueil et disponibilité du personnel qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer les itinéraires de rando et les choses à voir en nous racontant l’histoire du site

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.

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.

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

Great location, close to the bridge to old town and local area very good. Hotel and room great.
