“In San Sebastian, this is a stellar find; the location alone, near the cathedral and the old town, justifies a stay. What truly distinguishes it, however, is the staff's uncommon warmth and helpfulness; they clearly take pride in creating a welcoming environment. For those seeking an authentic, well-located base without extravagant frills, this is where I'd book.”
