San Sebastian - Donostia Bed and Breakfast Inns | Places to Stay in San Sebastian - Donostia
While many visitors come for the beaches, arts celebrations and fiestas, San Sebastian-Donostia is serious about its food and drink. The Old Quarter’s narrow, winding streets are full of bars and restaurants, and in the modern city, sidewalk cafes are all around. The city specializes in seafood. Just make sure you know not to expect dinner at 6 or 7 p.m.—that’s much too early in Spain. Instead, tide yourself over with tapas, and enjoy eating and drinking late into the night.

1. Pension Amaiur
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 282 reviews
For travelers who measure their travels by the experiences they live and the people they know. Pensión Amaiur is located in the oldest house in San Sebastián, in the heart of the old part of Donostia. It works as a pension since 1988 and has been completely renovated and re-decorated in 2013 as if it were our own house; trying to make it as welcoming as possible for our guests. Our pension is unique with its own character, vintage style and charisma. This will contribute to the pleasure of your travel experience. If all things were equal, there would be no magic in this world. We are pleased to welcome you and make you feel at home.
Ideal spot (for those with good knees!)
Reviewed By rinnarooThe pension is the ideal location for action and pinxtos, the property itself is quaint, homey, and clean, and Roberto and Aihnoa are sweet and accommodating. A huge bouquet of flowers had arrived for me just prior to our arrival, and Aihnoa was so kind to put them in water in her own vase before putting them in our room. Just an FYI for seniors like us: No elevator and lots of stairs. Our adorable room was the equivalent of 4 flights up, which would not be an issue if we weren't so old!
2. Heredad de Unanue

Cozy family owned and operated boutique hotel located in the green belt of Donostia-San Sebastian, in the countryside just 10 minutes from downtown. Renovated building whose origins are back in the late 15th century.
Beautiful small hotel
Reviewed By csiegela2The photos of this property do not do it justice. Every corner is elegant and tasteful, warm and serene. We can't say enough about the gracious sisters who own and run the hotel, which was their grandparents' farmhouse. We stayed in the family room - spacious with a seating area and desk. Bathrooms very modern. We ate dinner one night at the property. They don't claim to be a gourmet restaurant but after a long day of sightseeing and gloomy weather, it was lovely to be able to stay in and enjoy a simple, but delicious and very reasonably priced dinner. We much preferred staying here to the noisy hustle and bustle of San Sebastian. Our favorite hotel during our several weeks in Spain.

I can’t imagine a better location to stay in San Sebastián.
Reviewed By karlheeryThe hostess was really welcoming, showing us where we can grab some beach towels and anything we might need during the evening. The rooms all have a great and unique style. The kids loved the murals in Amsterdam room. The views from the balconies on to the street were very special and even the views towards the back had their own charm and gave a glimpse into real life. Coming and going via our big wooden door on the street, it didn’t feel like we were in a hotel at all - it was like we were living there from the moment we checked in. Great ice cream shop on the opposite side of the street and plenty of time to stroll down for a final swim in the sea before checking out. Would definitely return.

Fantastic location & hotel
Reviewed By McAnnie1What a fabulous hotel so close to all the action in San Sebastián. We booked a room with a small balcony overlooking the lovely square. The room was small but comfortable. Great shower, no place in bathroom to put toiletries, a safe, big bed but hard, nice balcony overlooking the square & amazing reception ladies, so friendly. Great location near to the old town. Best value for money for a hotel in ages. Free express breakfast thrown in at Cafe next door, absolutely delicious.
7. Hotel Villa Eugenia

4.5 based on 29 reviews
Hotel Villa Eugenia is located in the popular Gros neighborhood, just a 10-minute walk from the Old Town of San Sebastian. A Victorian Villa that has evolved with this privileged area of the city, Villa Eugenia is perfectly located between Monte Ulia and Zurriola Beach, a meeting point for locals Including an infinity climatized
Bit disappointed....
Reviewed By Liz KStayed at Villa Eugenia end May. I'd emailed in advance asking for the hotel to arrange a taxi transfer from Bilbao airport- I received an email confirmation but on arrival at the airport no taxi arrived. I called the hotel & they sent another taxi but the driver hadn't been given the address of the hotel. Our room was quite small & we did ask to be moved on day 1 but we were told the hotel was full- I found this odd because we took a call same day from reception when in the UK asking if we had booked / required two rooms. The bathroom door in our room wouldn't close properly & was very noisy in the night if we needed the bathroom - we reported this on day 1 & were assured that someone would come to repair it or we would be moved. Despite reporting this a further two times the problem was never resolved. We were awarded some free drinks as compensation. Overall I'd say that this hotel is more like a B&B - there are no staff on site after 10pm, no physical bar & the advertised "honesty bar" is a series of locked fridges. The advertised free "Mini-Bar" consists X2 waters X2 ice tea & X2 Cokes. The are no tea/coffee making facilities in the hotel bedrooms. It is quite a pretty hotel & we found it clean & the domestic staff were very considerate when servicing the rooms waiting for us to leave before trying to enter the room.

Located within a 2 minute walk to Zurriola surf beach and Kursal conference centre. The town center with its many shops and the Old Town with its many bars and bustling night life are just a five minute walk away. The perfect place to stay and enjoy the best the city has to offer.
Friendly and well located spot for a look around the city.
Reviewed By tifharris37I spent two nights looking around the city and enjoying the food. Paulo gave me some excellent advice about what to see and where to go to eat.the B&B is impeccably clean, the room is comfortable, the location is central with a car park close by. Paulo is a very friendly and helpful host.
9. Hotel Bed4U Zurriola San Sebastian

4.5 based on 21 reviews
Quiet hotel, clean rooms.
Reviewed By rogeliog686Great location and great price to value. Clean rooms and quiet also. What really makes this hotel a 5 star review is the outstanding hostess / receptionist named Cristina that welcomed us. She prepared a list of recommendations which she wrote by hand and walked us trough a map of the city. She thoroughly detailed where to go and what to order down to the flavor of the ice cream she liked the most. You could see her smile even with the face mask on… uplifting. The places she recommended where very good, we had the most amazing time and the food is no short of spectacular. Must try the Cheesecake at La Viña, we went 4 times in 3 days.
10. Hotel Trueba

Located in the most cosmopolitan neighbourhood of San Sebastian, Hotel Trueba offers all the comforts for a perfect stay. Renovated rooms, equipped with everything you need and a friendly and attentive service so that you can enjoy the city like a local.
Pleasant and Comfortable
Reviewed By E1347CYdavidfGiven the very affordable rates here, a stay at Hotel Trueba shouldn't be this nice. But it is. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Showers are nice with high-pressure water, making you want to stay in there for a while. Beds are comfy. One of the nicest perks is that there's a common breakfast room with a fridge full of complimentary water bottles, sodas, and iced tea and a coffee machine for free coffee. I'm kind of surprised more hotels have not figured out that this is a really lovely option for guests.
