Mein Einzelzimmer war klein, aber gemütlich, ruhig, sauber und modern. Der Preis ist günstig und es gibt einen schönen Aufenthaltsraum. Die Kaffeemaschine war an dem Tag kaputt, aber es gab Instantkaffee. Pfefferminztee gibt es auch. Da ich nicht mit diesem schönen Extraraum gerechnet hatte war das ein Bonus. Empfehlenswert. Gute Lage zu allen Bahnhöffen und zur Innenstadt.

The property was super cute and super easy to access, walking distance from everything. Stayed 2 nights and there was no one there overnight but staff was present during the early day to change towels, clean the room and more. The cleanliness was decent not a 10/10 but definitely not filthy, just clean. There is a small common area as well for a coffee and somewhere to relax other than your room. Overall I give it a 10/10 for the location and the experience we had overall.

I had an awesome stay at Pensión Donistiarra! Very comfortable and clean room, great small balcony to enjoy the charming pedestrian street outside... GREAT location, close to everything, especially the main bus station, great for day trips (I did Biarritz) and airport connections. The parking was discounted (very close by, also at bus station), which was a bonus.

The location is very convenient—within walking distance to all the main attractions and activities. The bathroom was quite small, but it was clean and functional. Just a heads-up: the check-in process involves a digital system, which might be a bit tricky for some guests.

L'hôtel est très bien situé, je n'ai pas eu besoin de prendre les transports en commun depuis la gare aux différents et principaux lieux à visiter. Passé l'entrée d'un immeuble du XIXth century (?), la pension Donostierra est située sur le pallier du 1ier étage. La chambre est propre de même que la salle de bain avec WC. Tout y est. Un petit balcon permet d'avoir une vue sur rue. La rue est très calme pendant la nuit. Très bonne expérience.

location very good, amenities marginal. lack of any staff makes this hotel impossible. everything is done electronically with codes they send, but if you don't have connectivity because you are abroad you are dead in the water. While i was there ( three days ) at least 15 people included myself was stranded with no way to get in because we had not received the access codes, which they only send a few hours before you are due to arrive Expedia has done a miserable job in advising that there is no service at hotel location . you get a contact phone with your access codes which you did not recieve .

The Guesthouse was OK. The room clean and the bed was good. But I had an incident with the check in process. I received an email with three codes. One to open the front door, one to open the door of the guest house and another for my room. The problem was that the door to the guest house would not open. There was a phone number to call so I did. The person answering the phone, instead of recognizing there was something wrong with the code, insisted I try the wrong code several times. I told the person about 3 or 4 times the code was maybe the problem, but instead of offering a new code, he kept insisting I was the one making the mistake when typing the code. He escalated the situation without a reason talking to me like if I were a child. This made me guess this incident might happen quite frequently and they assume automatically the guest is making the mistake, so I felt the person was not really listening to me. So, if anyone books, double check the codes.
