We stayed here for 2 nights in september, Everything about this hotel was just amazing! We had the best room with a nice balcony from where we were able to see the beach. The hotel is in the perfect location only 1 block from the water and about 10 minute walk to la parte vieja where you can find the... More

My first impression on this place was wow. Not only was it comfortable but it was very clean, both room and bathroom. The hotel is very central, 10 mins walk to OLD TOWN and the beach. Also, the owner (Mathias) was very friendly and helpful with recommending various tapas bar around town. I would stay at this place again and... More

The location was excellent (two blocks from the beach, 5 minute walk to parte vieja) and the price being well on the more affordable end of hotels in the area. This pensión is very clean and modern, with a lovely little balcony. The street gets a little noisy at night, but the balcony doors kept the sound out quite well.... More

Nothing to fault this hotel. Room and bathroom were decent size and immaculate. Staff were helpful and informative. Location fantastic: 2 mins walk to the Concha bay and 5 mins walk to the old town. We went during an unusually hot week for the time of year and although there was no air conditioning, they provided a fan which kept... More

The location is phenomenal, just minutes from the playa and with many great sources of food and drink within walking distance. I... More

Which was a little annoying as we don't have a laptop. Street is also a tiny bit noisy. Not a problem for us but might be if you are a... More

Really great place to stay in San Sebastian. Location is fantastic, within walking distance to every part of a city. The owners are really nice and helpful. Don't hesitate and book this place, you won't regret for sure! More

This was a great value Pension. The owners were very friendly and extremely helpful. The room was very clean and quite modern with a comfortable bed and good bathroom. The free WIFI worked really well and the location was very convenient - not far to walk to the old town or to the beachfront. Like I said it was great... More

I am very grateful to Matthias and Pilar, the couple who run the Pensión Gárate. When in late June we were trying to book a double room for mid August and, despite the almost two-month advance, every guesthouse in San Sebastián claimed to be full, Matthias and Pilar finally arranged things for us: though they didn't have a room for...
