Pensión Sarriegi offers accommodation in San Sebastián.

Rooms come with a flat-screen TV and air conditioning. Rooms are fitted with a private bathroom. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hair dryer.

Great place to stay right in the old town "pintxo district". The apartment was spacious and comfortable with a lovely tree-filled view and many pleasant surprises (a washing machine!), and the off-season price was a bargain.

The property features stylish décor with parquet floors and white vintage furniture. All rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, minibar, and wardrobe. The private bathroom comes with a bath or a shower. Hairdryer and toiletries are provided.

The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful. First, they let us check in very early. Second, they called a cab for us when we needed to schedule one for our return to the airport. The room was very comfortable, ideally located to the history area, and just fabulous overall. If we ever return to San Sebastián, this is where we will stay.

    This hotel is exceptional, the breakfast range of food is vast, the rooms are modern designer style and very comfortable, the staff are outstanding and value you as a customer, nothing is too much for them. We had to rent a walker for my wife and it was delivered within an hour. The location is near to the beach and Old Town. The pool on the roof was not open, due to it being March, but the whole pool area was huge and in summer would be a lovely place to be.

    Interior design of this hotel is just beautiful, from bathroom, restaurant to corridors. Stunning and very clean. Room feels smaller with 3rd bed open yet there was enough room for all our luggage. USB plugs at bed side tables, no need for adapters. Very well equipped gym. Plenty of parking, very convenient when traveling by car. Location away from busy city centre, therefore very quiet. Very frequent bus to the centre (28), even on Sundays and bus stop is just 2-3 min walk. Very helpful and polite staff.

    Very friendly and helpful host! Location excellent, very central but still quiet. Nice, stylish interior design of rooms. Roomy bathroom and shower. Many different-size pillows provided. Good relation price/service. Obviously not a luxury hotel, but can definitely be recommended. Especially for the price, since San Sebastián is generally rather not cheap.
