We spent one night here as part of our trip to Basque Country. It was very small and quaint, perfectly located, exceptionally clean and the staff were very polite and helpful. I left an earring in the room and when I went back later in the day after checkout to pick up my bags, they had found it and put it in a little bag for me 🙂 thank you!

Only downside is the building is quite loud, you can hear what's happening in other rooms/floors etc - however they provide earplugs and it wasn't too disturbing. Bed wasn't the comfiest but fine for a night or two.

Would recommend for a short, easy, low price stay 🙂

Lo recomendamos! La amabilidad de Luc y Anais permite disfrutar más la estancia. La habitación es muy espaciosa, buen gusto y excelente ubicación. Buen baño y todo impecable. Hay escaleras, que anunciaron y ofrecieron ayuda de venir con equipaje. El estacionamiento en Bayonne es complicado, ellos facilitaron orientación para estacionar en parking ubicado en 2 Place de la Porte d'Espagne 64100 Bayonne, a pocas cuadras del hospedaje.
El desayuno exquisito. Disfrutamos en Bayonne.

The pension was in an ideal location! It
Is a 5 minute walk from
The bus station and a 5 minute walk to the beach! There are many restaurants, retail stores and food markets nearby. The street is pedestrian only so it is very quiet. The pension is older but modernized. My room was very comfortable with a small balcony. I would highly recommend this pension. I hope to return! Happy Travels!✈️✈️✈️

Clean place with friendly accommodating staff. The only thing to note is that the air conditioning unit makes a sound every few minutes (especially when it is on) which makes it difficult to sleep. Apparently it’s an issue in all rooms. We had to ask for a fan for the second night which the helpful staff arranged for us and they also gave us some ear plugs.

Terribly Noisy

Great location but the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from next door. TV, text messages, every step! The air conditioner made a terrible noise that they were aware of. It happened constantly when it was on and randomly when it was off. We had to turn our one off because we couldn’t sleep with the noise but as the wall were so thin, you could the one next door.

We loved the location and the quaintness of the room and amenities. Check in instructions could have included buzzer instructions and entry. We called and Juan answered. Juan was great at check in. He showed us where to eat and walk and see sunsets. He made a reservation for us as well ! There was a vibrational noise every 1-5 minutes through the night that kept us awake. Earplugs recommended. Otherwise a great spot!

This place does the trick. Great location. Very safe. You need an electronic key to enter the building, hostel and room, so your luggage and passport are safe. Safe neighborhood right next to the cathedral of the Good Shepherd. Food nearby. All the action is just 10 to15 minutes walk.

Natalia was super accommodating and will answer any questions about your surroundings.
The room is a bit small but if you’re just using it to sleep and shower this nice little pension does the trick.

Great location, clean rooms

The room was great, slightly basic but it had what we needed. The location was great - everything within walking distance. The staff were friendly and were happy to let us check in early. They are very accommodating and allow you to leave your bags on the day of check out to collect at a later time. Only criticism is that it would have been nice to have a kettle in the room. There is a kettle in the reception area which you can use, but it was a bit of a pain to be back and forth.

Pension la Perla is centrally located on a main pedestrian street that is a bit noisy at all hours. The rooms were very, very small, especially the bathrooms.

This location was perfect for us as it was right in the middle of everything we wanted to do in San Sebastian. Just a 2-block walk to the beach and less than half a mile to Old Town, where we frequented for amazing pintxos and dinner. The facilities itself were wonderful and almost perfect for what we needed. The only constructive criticism I have would be to have a laundry service because our only option was to walk a ways with all our laundry to a laundromat. We just made do with the clothes we had because we didn't want to waste an afternoon doing laundry

Downsides: The room was a bit small but that's too be expected in the city. No AC which made for quite a warm stay. The bed isn't the most comfortable.

A friendly budget hostal

The hostal was reasonably priced for the area. Though the room was on the small side, it was perfectly adequate. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good.
The receptionist was very welcoming. She gave us a map and some advice as to interesting places to see, which was very useful.
The hostal is well situated, near the Buen Pastor cathedral, about halfway between the RENFE railway station and the beach. There are some good cafes and restaurants in the area where local people eat.
There wasn't 24-hour reception, but we had the receptionist's number in case of emergency overnight. There was no air-conditioning, just a fan, and it was pretty hot white we were there, but I think this was reflected in the price.
Overall, we were happy with it and would recommend it to people like ourselves who are on a budget and to whom clean, comfortable and friendly are more important than exclusive and luxurious.

Perfect accommodation

Wonderful location in such a beautiful building. We were welcomed by Juan, who waited for us as we arrived before the checking-in time. He spoke perfect English and recommended places to visit and the best tapas bars in which to eat. He provided us with a set of keys which allowed us to start our vacation without having to worry about our luggage. We didn't need to use any public transport as everything was within walking distance. The cleanliness of the room was to the highest standard. The room had a small balcony from which we could see the magnificent Cathedral. The design of the room was surprisingly good as the space was small. That is the only inconvenience if you prefer a larger room and bathroom. For us it was just perfect with a very comfortable bed. We will certainly return to Pension La Perla and would highly recommend it. We would give it more than 2 stars.
