Very nice clean place to stay but the rooms on the front (rooms 2 and 3 I think) can be noisy. We were there on the evening before May Day (a holiday) and so there were people in the street until 4.30am. Not bad but if you can get a room at the back irt would be quieter. The reception... More

Good place for the price. We usually stay in hotels, and were not sure what a pension might lack. Sure, there is no lobby or breakfast, and the rooms are pretty basic. But really, to sleep when traveling, this is fine. The beds are clean and comfortable, bath is new and clean, internet works great. Based on reviews, I requested... More

We spent here two nights of a weekend escapada to San Sebastian. VERY nice and polite people, helping with anything!!! The pension has rooms on the first and the second floor. There are only three on the second floor and more of them on the first floor. The point is that if the silence and privacy is very important for... More

This pension is in a very good central location. An old building but the pension itself is totally restored with modern conveniences. Our (smallish) room had no view but was very quiet and warm (this was in February). The internet worked in the room. Good bathroom. The part-time (they were not always there) staff was spot-on with their dining suggestions.... More

This was one of my favorite places I stayed during my trip to Spain. I arrived late at night, and had a little trouble locating the building. But, once I located it was greeted by a very pleasant gentlemen who spoke fluent English. Room was very clean with a modern decor and comfortable bed. Had a sitting room, bedroom and... More

This is a great place to stay, it was perfect to stay alone and would also be a great place for a couple or a small group if you got adjacent rooms. The owner is extremely nice and accommodating, and speaks English or Spanish or French to you, as needed! The room was very clean, nice balcony, simple but perfect.... More

As soon as we arrived at Pension Altair we felt very welcome. The staff are incredibly friendly, and recommended some great Tapas bars and restaurants. Only a five minute walk from the beach, and five minutes from the old town, the hotel is in a great spot. The rooms are a little on the small side, but very modern and... More

We stayed in 2 different rooms at Pension Altair about 10 days apart. Ricardo and co. are great hosts. There is no fridge in rooms or for communal use, but he arranged for us to have access to a kitchen on another floor to store food for our daughter who has special dietary needs. Scrupulously clean, decent beds and unlimited... More

The Pension Altair was a great choice for an inexpensive weekend break in San Sebastian. San Sebastian is an expensive city – and unbeknown to me, the weekend we visited was at the end of Semana Grande. I thought it was the previous week, but it wasn’t and this fact had pros and cons. Cons included the room being more... More
