I came here with a girl friend and we stayed here 2 nights. I am a simple and easy traveler who usually sleeps in hostels and she is a very picky traveler who sleep in 3 or 4 star hotels. We were both very satified with the place. I don´t know if the pricing is this reasonable all year round,... More

Great location, great price, clean beds. For someone who just wants a nice place to sleep and doesn't plan on spending a lot of time in the room this place is perfect. Person at the front desk speaks good English and of course San Sebastian is beautiful. only downside is thin walls.

The most important part for me,is a small boutique Pension close to Playa De La Concha .. By the way it was very clean and the service was great. Before booking the room try to choose the room with sea view with balcony..so that you can view the sunset :) It feels like you are at home...At night, you can... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. The pension is spotless, well positioned and the staff are amazingly helpful. They do not all speak English but that's not a problem. They even managed to sort some tickets to a Barcelona football game which was on locally. I will stay here again.

San Sebastian is beautiful and the hotels are expensive so we decided to try a pension. The location was perfect, the owner very helpful. The room was adequate but very clean. Bathroom tiny but amazing water pressure in that shower. Most of the TV channels were from France which was interesting.

Only 2 blocks from the beach this well kept and clean pension is perfect for the value. The staff is very attentive and you can walk everywhere !! San Sebastian is a beautiful and safe beach, enjoy the food and the walks along the La Concha beach. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for a good quality pensione the Pension Garate is ideal. The location is good for the main beach and only a 15 minute walk to the old town which is where most of the bars are. The room was clean, large enough for the purpose of a pensione (sleeping) and had a small ensuite shower room... More

San Sebastian is a place to enjoy the beach and Old Town. Pension Garate is a no-frills place, for travelers' on a budget. We really enjoyed the location, it was only two blocks from La Concha beach, and it is about a 20 minute walk to Old Town, and a little further of a hike up to Mount Urgell or... More

Clean and compact is how I would describe this Pension. It met all our expectations, providing what it advertised in terms of facilities and value for money. It was a short hop to the beach and within very close proximity to the old town and shopping area. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating with some great recommendations of the... More
