Perfectly located for easy swimming on the beach. Walked twice and the outdoor terrace was perfect for drying my clothes after the beach. Coffee machine wasn’t working while I was there.

The electronics on the front door stopped working around 10:00 pm the night before I left. Myself and many other guests were locked out for an hour and a half before being able to go to our rooms again. Staff showed up after I called but didn’t bring the right physical key to enter the other door into the floor.

When I contacted the pensión to request a discount for the inconvenience? Silence. A disappointing response after an otherwise very nice stay.

We had a great stay at Pension Garibai. The location is simply perfect-minutes from La Concha and minutes from the Old Town. The bed was comfortable and the coffee maker in the lobby was very convenient. Shower is good, the restaurant downstairs is excellent (Bideluze) and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting San Sebastián!

Great, high-end location, a nice grocery store next door. 5 min walk to everything, beach less than that.
Rooms are clean with modern decor and fittings, decent size. Don’t let the 2-star rating put you off at all, I guess this is just based on the style of hotel.

Wonderful little Pensión

I could not have been happier with Pensión Garibai. Yes, the room is small, but ultra modern. You can’t beat the location in Centro just a five minute walk from Old Town and the main beach. Due to its small size, reception is only open from 9:00 AM to 7 PM , but that should not be an issue for most people. There is a 24 hour coffee machine just off the lobby. Ana, who was the receptionist for the week I was there is a delight. She gave me an excellent restaurant recommendation and can help with other recommendations as needed. She booked a cab to the airport for me before she left yesterday, and it showed up right on time this morning well before reception opened. The rooms are immaculately cleaned every day. I highly recommend this perfectly located Pensión for your stay in San Sebastián Donedta.

Clean, spacious, close to everything! We loved Amaya at the front desk, she was so helpful and the after hours check in was simple. The room was beautiful with a huge outdoor patio including table and chairs. The living room and room each had a door to the patio. The bed was comfortable and clean.

The location is very close walking distance to the beach and old town, and there’s a restaurant, and small grocery store right downstairs!

The hotel provided coffee pods in the room with a coffee maker in the reception area. There is a small refrigerator in the room.

We really enjoyed everything, and appreciate the wonderful service.

Clean and tidy (if a little small room) and walkable to all areas. Centre of town so some nighttime noise including bin emptying and street cleaning. Great intro from reception with lots of info but daytime reception coverage only. Free coffee very nice when machine worked (failure happened out of hours!). Like many others we struggled to know what button to press (it’s the one with the big blue P) to gain access (within hours) and struggled even more to understand if we were talking to a real person or an automated voice. Just requires a more detailed check in procedure and a few pictures.

Wonderful gem in San Sebastián

An absolute gem of a property in San Sebastian. We spent three days here...walking distance to everything. Room was very clean and well appointed. The staff made the trip...recommendations for where to eat, how to find the best cheesecake in Spain, and recommendations for sightseeing. She even booked us an early morning taxi to the train station. I would definitely recommend this property.

The hotel was in a great location, no frills but super value for money.
There is NO parking though, the hotel website is clear about this (it is payable local @ €29 a day). Expedia website is not clear, it does not mention the additional cost, they say that the hotel has parking. It does not.

First San Sebastian visit

Tricky to find initially even if you're in the actual street. Once you do find it it's hard to get in. Once in though, great room, bit small but had everything including outside space. Christina on reception was amazing and helped us with our stay no end. The area is good, 5 mins in either direction to shops or beach. Plenty of nice places for breakfast almost on the door step. A good choice for the city.

Great location for this pension. Late checkin was a breeze; just contact the pension by email ahead of time and they’ll provide you with a code to enter the building. Room of very decent size, modern, very clean with a terrasse. Other guests can be a little noisy entering/exciting their rooms. Coffee available. Christina at reception is very friendly and helpful. She just makes you feel very welcome. Very reasonable price for the location and what you get. I would stay again without hesitation.

If rooms available don't look any further.

The location is perfect. The staff is extremely helpful and more than willing to answer all your questions and give some recommendations. They speak very good English. The rooms are clean, modern, well insulated so u don't hear noise from hallway or other rooms. Each room has their own A/C, Restroom, and some with a patio. For the value it's got to be one of the best places if u want to be next to beach and old town.They provide discounted parking ( about 19 euros a day) at La Concha (Kontxa) parking lot which is about 3 short blocks away. Just park in lot and they will sell u the discounted ticket to use when existing lot. They provide safe.
