Mattress quality could be improved slightly in the future but it was not uncomfortable. I am picky with mattress and pillows however.

Amazing location less than 800m to the old town, beach and so many places to feast at! Incredible host. Super friendly, attentive, helpful and gracious. Very prompt with response times and providing so many recommendations daily. Even making bookings at local restaurants from his personal favourites list. We felt more like friends than guests. I would absolutely stay here again. East key card access to the property, rooms and shared bathrooms. Very secure.

We can highly recommand to book your stay at Pension Buenpas. Jon is just an amazing guy, he really made our time in San Sebastian special. He had a lot of great tips and was always there when help was needed. The location of the Pension is also amazing, close to both beaches, as well as the oldtown. Bakeries, coffeeshops, supermarkets, bus stations, ... everything is close by. The cozy room has everything you need (even a little fridge) and there was also a coffee machine with little snacks and some fruits in the common area. Thanks for everything & see you next time again :-)

Having a private en-suite bathroom would be excellent!

This is a little treasure bang on in the central area of San Sebastián, just a stroll away from the beach, the lively old town and main shopping area. Truly well managed by a friendly owner! Highly recommended …*****

Nothing to mention that I did not like.

Our host Jon was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and gave great recommendations. We enjoyed our stay, check-in was easy even though we arrived later than anticipated. Our room was spacious with all the amenities needed. The coffee station with snacks and fruit was an added and well received bonus.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Brilliant location, very clean tidy room and a very welcoming shared area with free tea/coffee fruits and treats. John was an exceptional host! He was most welcoming and communicated clearly the directions to the guesthouse prior to our visit. He was very approachable and available and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant and comfortable. He also gave us some brilliant recommendations of places to visit in San Sebastián and beyond. We were also very grateful for his advice about areas to avoid where tourists may feel vulnerable to pick pockets etc.

Only negative was I copied the address from booking.com into google maps and it took me somewhere else. Luckily I can speak Spanish so when I asked a neighbour, she worked out there is a high (alta) and low (baja) version of the same street. Turned out better as the accommodation is nearer town

Room - plenty big enough for 2 people, had air con, was cleaned, TV that could log into Netflix etc Bathroom - was shared but only between 2 rooms so was perfect, especially as we were the only ones there. Again was very clean, powerful shower and good hot water Coffee area - a fab little touch. Tea coffee and water provided along with sweets little cakes and biscuits. Perfect for when u get in and need refreshment or first thing on a morning Owners - super helpful and friendly, chatty and full of useful info Location - superb. 8 mins from bus station. Mins from the shopping part of town and only 10 if that into the old town and Concha beach. 15 mins if that into Gros

The location was great for us because we could walk to beach and restaurants. Jon was so very helpful to us, making great recommendations for restaurants, always making sure we had everything we needed and making arrangements for taxi to take us to the station. Delightful place to rest and unwind for a few days. Thanks to Jon for his taking such good care of us.

Construction on street in front of Pension.

Great location close to Playa de la Concha and good restaurants. A short walk from Old Town. Jon was a super friendly & helpful host, with great restaurant recommendations and help with parking. San Sebastian is a lovely town with a great beach and fabulous restaurants.

The only thing is the distance from the preferred car park which is a little far for wheelie suitcases (about 700 metres). Best to use backpacks.

Firstly it was the welcome and communication with Jon, a proud and happy Basque native. Good fun. The location is central San Sebastián and easy to walk around. The accommodation is comfortable with a king size bed, shared bathroom (no problem) and handy coffee nook.

Not much but the room itself isn’t overly spacious[which just makes you explore more of this wonderful city]. There were works going on on the street outside, apparently looking for dead Englishmen! [ assume an archaeological dig] I would expect the street outside to have more “vibe” once the hunt is over.

Great location in walking distance of all San Sebastián has to offer. Ultra authentic inner city room with ensuite that had great charm. Perhaps the biggest highlight of this accomodation is the host, “Jon” who couldn’t stop himself from helping you such as booking restaurants, advice on walks and even helping us with our bags to our car-which was about 1 Km from the accomodation!

Our stay was amazing. The owner was so kind. He recommend us a lot of restaurants with so tasty food, also he helped us to make reservation in restaurant with michelin star in the same day when we arrived. Great location, so clean and so cute, very cozy. I would recommend stay here✨ Jon made our vacation in San Sebastian unforgettable and we have the best time ever. Also Jon recommend us some restaurants in Bilbao, because her mother leave there. I writing these review from one of his recommendations (restaurant Dando la Brasa) its delicious 👌

The room did not have much natural light as the window looked out over a courtyard area but as we were out most of the day it did not make much difference to us.

Communication from the start was really good making check in easy and Jon was available to offer help and advice if needed. Our room was very comfortable, quiet and clean. The location is great to get to the beautiful La Concha beach and into the old town with all it's Pintxos bars. It is also close to a train station with trains direct to Hendaye which was helpful for us as we went into France after leaving.
