펜션 이투리사(Pensión Iturriza)

a Gastronomic dream with maybe not the best host in San Sebastian, but maybe the best in Europe as a whole!!! Ibon and his beautiful wife will happily lead you through a dream of places to eat if you desire... after 30 years in the restaurant business, it was a pleasure to yet again be lead on recommendations by someone who loves food and people!!! the beds are super comfortable, its beautifully clean and nothing was a problem when it came to advice on the area. i have travelled from Australia 4 times now to San Sebastian and my last two visits have been here and i doubt i would ever stay anywhere else again..... a truly memorable experience with the best hosts ever....

A fantastic Pension located a hop step and jump from the main pintxos bars in the Old Town of Donostia. An easy walk to La Concha and Gros. Ibon was an excellent host and keen to impart his knowledge of the area and teach us a few Basque words. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was a perfect size for the two of us with a balcony overlooking the street. The reception area had tea/coffee facilities and plenty of tourist information about the area. Eskerrik asko.

This is a lovely place to stay. Right in the middle of the old town within 5 minutes of La Concha beach. I had the best night's sleep and lashings of hot water in the shower to ease aching legs after a day of walking. Ibon and his wife are attentive hosts and à mine of information on things to see and places to eat. They provided beach towels when I finally decided to take the plunge. I left with à great impression of San Sebastian, à burning desire to return to see more of this beautiful area and stay in this charming pension. I'm also going to try out a recipe for the local cheesecake which Ibon kindly emailed to me.

We had an amazing stay - zero complaints! The location is perfect, right in old town yet the room was super quiet. The roller shutters made the room absolutely pitch black and quiet. The room and bathroom were clean. Areas to hang clothes and store things - for such a small space it never felt it. Great to have a little balcony for fresh air and to hang wet bathers etc. Staff were super friendly and helpful, while also giving us our space. Highly recommend, we'll be staying again next time!

Great stay with Ibon as my host. Rooms are small but clean and fantastic location. You are amid the bars and restaurants. Beach is 5 min walk away. Bathroom with shower clean, towels provided. Sockets near bed. Electric blinds for the door (never even realised the switch was by the bed lol). Hairdryer and desk in room. Ibon Very helpful he gave us beach towels and booked the taxi for us and sent me a link for the busses too.

Had a great stay at Pension Iturriza. Great location in the Old Town, updated room, very clean & modern. Check-in was easy, organized & completely automated. The owner let us in the front door via cell phone & we had a code for the door to our apartment. A shared reception area had water, information on restaurants & things to do. We loved our stay! Don't miss tapas at La Cuchara de San Telmo--great ambiance & the best tapas we had on our entire trip!

We had such a wonderful stay. Room was impeccably clean and very comfortable. Cute balcony overlooking quiet street, right in Old Town. Near everything, including the beach. Our host, Ibon, was the best!! Very communicative about where to park and how to check in. Gave us lots of good recommendations for food/drinks. The best suggestion was a hike to Pasaia, with spots for lunch, bus ride back. We parked in the free lot near the old bullring in Illumbe, took bus #28 into Old Town. Once we found the bus stop on google, which was up the road from the parking lot, it was very easy. Paid cash when getting on bus, driver made change. Got off at Boulevard 9 stop, easy walk to Pension.

Had a very enjoyable stop over in San Sebastián. Our Pension was everything ‘it said on the tin’.

Absolutely fantastic location, clean and comfortable. The owner was very helpful and recommended some great pintxo spots. We stayed here 12 years ago when it first opened and came back this year with our kids, knowing that it would be a great place to stay with them.
