In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Gros location for surfing and strolling — Gros is the go-to district for surfers in San Sebastian, and the guesthouse sits among its streets — an easy walk to the beach and local spots.
  • Private bathrooms in every room — Even the single room comes with its own bathroom, which is a step up from many budget guesthouses where you share facilities.
  • Good value price point — With rates from £53 per night, it undercuts San Sebastian's average, especially in a city known for pricey accommodation.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No parking on site — If you're driving, you'll need to find public parking in the neighbourhood, which can be competitive in San Sebastian.
  • No pets allowed — The guesthouse is not pet-friendly, so you'll need to make other arrangements for furry travel companions.
  • No on-site smoking — As a non-smoking property, you'll have to step outside (away from the building) to smoke, which may be a dealbreaker for some.
