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%!

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.

Nice big room. They had tea and coffee you could get for free. Surfbeach and restaurants are super close. Short walk to the city.

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.

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.

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.

10.0 / 10.0
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

10.0 / 10.0
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.
5.0 / 10.0
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.

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.

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 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.

Good location ~10 min walk to Old Town. There is an elevator from ground floor to reception (1st floor). Reception staff very friendly and helpful. There is a kettle and coffee machine at reception. Unfortunately I had the room next to reception, and being a light sleeper, did wake up when reception opened. Instead of curtains, they have metal shutters (don't hesitate to ask reception how to open/close shutters). Room was spacious and clean. I would stay here again.

I really enjoyed this Hotel. It was by lots of good places to eat, a great gelato place, and its as close to the beat! The room was clean and tidy when I got back every day. The staff was very friendly, every single one I talked to knew knew English which made my stay much better. They were very helpful with everything!

The location of the pension is very good, close to the beach and the city centre. If you’re driving the hotel has an excellent setup with large parking garage across the street - for €15/day, which is added to your hotel bill, you get in and out privileges at the garage. This is a pension, not a hotel so please note that reception is only open till 9:30. Speaking of reception, the staff is amazing!! When I asked if I could have a small container of milk for my fridge, Martha at the desk offered to give me a kettle and brought a tray with various teas to my room. Martha is truly a gem! In addition, the pension offers services like parasols, beach mats and beach towels on loan; with no deposit required! Rooms are typical size for a European city, cleanliness is good and a good sized wardrobe. Electric rolling shutters are great to block out noise and provide blackout for sleeping. Pension Kursál is a true gem in beautiful San Sebastián.

This property is all about location. The room facilities were freshly renovated. Organization of the shower and toilet could have been better, but still very nice. Liked the free coffe pod machine availability. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

The rooms are clean and nice. Staff excellent however the most important part the bed was awful worn out cheap foam mattress and my back still hurts. Also two twin beds together to make a queen. For that price at least a decent bed would be in order. And the air conditioning unit blows right on the bed. No good

The receptionists were very friendly and accommodating. There was a problem with the sink and
a repair man was sent immediately.

The property is in a location we liked because it is a residential area, and the restaurants are very good
filled up with local residents. The only thing we did not like is the lack of a parking close by. The parking was far from the hotel, very far and it was hard to get back and forth from the hotel to the parking.
5.0 / 10.0
Everything about staying at Pensión Kursaal was wonderful. First, the location is PERFECT! Amazing restaurant a couple doors down and everything is within perfect walking distance. The room was small, as expected for Europe, but it has vaulted ceilings which make it feel bigger. We enjoyed the little balcony. The complimentary espresso machine was a nice touch. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We would stay here again and again : )

It does have elevator, but after 6-8 steps... with heavy suitcases, it was not easy. Also, parking was public and far Away. Otherwise. For one night, it was okay.

Great location; clean; small but well equipped room; friendly helpful staff
Minor downsides: extra charge for checking after 10 pm; water temperature in shower varied a bit from moment to moment .
I would definitely stay here again.
