I seldom write reviews but this time around, I have to.
I sprained my ankle in Barcelona on the day that I was arriving in San Sebastián.
Gloria checked me in and I casually mentioned about my ankle. She immediately asked if she can do anything at all to assist me.
She was so kind, helpful and was constantly checking in on me throughout my stay. The rest of the staff were the same as well.

I just want her to know that I truly appreciate everything she said and did for me.
Thank you and I hope I get to come back and see you guys again.

The decor is simple within the room but there is tons of space. Walls are thin so you have to be mindful of noise.Water and a small snack is provided with tea available as you come and go.. Extremely clean room and comfortable. Excellent location steps from Zurriola beach with a market and multiple restaurants on the same block. Staff is on-site for most waking hours. I would highly recommend this for a solo Traveller or parties of 2.

Amazing and far exceeded our expectations. I work at a 4 star resort and wish we had those wonderful front reception ladies working with us. They were so genuine, kind and helpful. Every morning and evening they would greet us with a smile, offer to make our coffee, and assist with planning my itinerary for the day. They even helped me with my limited Spanish. They epitomized Basque culture and made us feel like family. Our room was spacious, clean, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was nice, The hotel is in a perfect, quaint location near everything. The cleaning staff were also extremely attentive and thorough. My wife had reservations elsewhere in San Sebastián a month after our stay. However, after our positive experience at Pension Kursaal, we won’t stay anywhere else. We booked it right there at the desk. It was my first time in Spain visiting my daughter and I can’t thank you all enough for helping make my experience so memorable. See you next time.
Thank you,
Erik

Our room was very comfortable. Great bed, towels, linens and so forth. Staff very helpful. Just a short walk across the bridge and you are in the heart of Old Town San Sebastian. Gros was fun too. The worst part was parking the car. It is confusing when you first get there because your GPS wants to take you to the hotel, but you have to pass it and drive a ways and then make a U-turn back to the parking. Once you get into the parking lot, it is very easy to get to the hotel. Even though it is on a busy corner, the room was very dark and quiet. We had a perfect experience. Oh...the lobby is up one floor when you arrive and the old elevator DOES work so don't carry your luggage up the stairs :-)

Rooms are compact and comfortable. Coffee (in the daytime) and tea can be made in the reception lobby. The lady at Reception gave us some good tips on things to do and places to eat.

Families or Wheelchairs not the best, otherwise ok

There are some important things to know for families or people with access issues to know: immediately entering the property is a small set of ~8 stairs. There is a lift fitted but this was not working when we arrived and they wanted a €50 deposit for a key to use it while we were there. After this set of stairs, there is a spiral staircase up with a very small antique lift going up to Pension Kursaal and the other floors. This lift worked great, but would very likely be too narrow of an entrance for most wheelchairs, our stroller only just fit. And then, on the first floor, there is just a big step into the hotel reception with no ramp. As you can imagine, I ended up carrying and lifting a stroller in and out of this place quite a bit. Not super difficult but a hassle, and would be maybe impossible for a wheelchair.

The room we had was good. However, the noise from outside was very loud, particularly on Saturday night. We were woken up by people shouting and laughing outside multiple times, as well as a garbage truck coming at both 1130pm and 0400am. The other nights were not nearly as bad. If you are staying out till 1am enjoying the pintxos and drinks, you'll probably be fine, but not great for trying to get an early night as a family.

The staff were very nice and made great recommendations. They were the best part of the stay.

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.

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.

San Sebastián/Donastia is a small city and the hotel is right in the middle of it all in this charming city.

Easy to sleep in, just wish it wasn't 2 twins

Pros - intense light blocking shades, helpful front desk (though it is worth noting that is not 24 hours), easily walkable to good food

Cons - we had two twins that were pushed together but no attempt was otherwise made to make it like one bed; our sheets (which were never washed/changed) were twin size and tucked in separately and tightly down the middle. The room couldn't be set up as two twins (Even with the beds pushed together I almost twisted an ankle, since there is a step down right at the bottom corner of the bed for the terrace door to open) so it seems like something they should fix and would make the room much more comfortable.

Note this is not a standard hotel. It's all one one floor of a building with a small reception area. Walls may have been a little thin, but we still slept in every day thanks to those shades so noise didn't seem to be a problem. Rooms are right but comfortable.

The staff members were great and helped with printing of train tickets etc.

The room is a bit small for the price that you pay but overall a good hotel.

Nice to an extent.

The location is great, the price is wonderful, the staff is very friendly, but that's where the benefits stop.

It's very hard to find as there are only two small signs and no instructions on how to get in. After we figured it out, we got buzzed in but were left waiting for 10 minutes before someone helped us. No matter how much they clean the rooms, there's always this lingering smell that won't go away. The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything. You're right next to a busy street that never stops. The lock on our door was \"blocked\" because they believed our lock was sticking and they couldn't get in. There's no do not disturb signs so they can walk in whenever they want. They start maintenance around 7am so there's no consideration of guests who might still be sleeping. When we flushed the toilet, the fixture on the wall fell off and there was a lose tile we had to be careful of.

We most likely will not be staying here again and we were tempted to switch hotels for the remainder of our stay.

Good value, impeccably clean and a great location just over the river from the old town.
