The hotel was lovely, the room was clean, comfortable and well presented, and everything was just perfect for our stay. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. A great location and a really enjoyable experience all round. We couldn’t fault it and would happily stay again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a great stay at Pension Buenpas. Centrally located, easy walking distance to everything San Sebastian has to offer. Room was good size, air-conditioning worked well and the private bathroom was clean and functional. Jon was very helpful on arrival, giving us some great tips for restaurants and bars. Lobby area had tea/coffee as well as small nibbles for guests to enjoy. Loved San Sebastian, would definitely return here to stay again.

Really lovely little place, room was perfect as a base to explore. Location is ideal, short pleasant walk to the promenade or old town. We didn’t see the owners but they made contact to let us know they were available if we needed anything. Will be recommending to anyone we know going to visit San Sebastián

Only positive things to say about this accommodation. Good communication prior to arrival re check-in; easy and efficient. Excellent location - right in the middle of San Sebastián, walking distance to everywhere and only 5 minutes from the main transport hub. Room was spacious, bed comfortable, shower hot. Also had a little refrigerator. Little extras to include a tourist map were very helpful.

We just left Buenpas and on the bus to Bilbao. The Pension is very clean, comfortable and well maintained and Jon ( the host) was extremely kind, friendly and helpful and always available if you have problems. The location is excellent for the old town, bus station etc. I am reliably told San Sebastian is one of the most expensive cities in Spain and Pension Buenpas is good value for money compared to other accommodation. You can't go wrong.

The hotel was very centrally located—everything within a 15 minute walk. The room was very clean and cleaned daily. The proprietor, Jon, and staff were very helpful and friendly; good communication and recommendations. As we were here during peak heat, it was very nice to have AC in the room after long, hot days out on the beach and for local pintxos crawls. Highly recommended!

Great stay in the city centre

Great stay in a nice and quiet area of the city only minutes away from the bustling town. The rooms are squeaky clean with all the amenties one needs. The host was also incredibly helpful by providing us with local tips - we tried some of the best places as a result and tried the local favourite pintxos.

Jon Buenpas is a wonderful host as the owner of the pension. He gave us local recommendations and allowed us to leave our luggage for the day after we checked out. Highly recommend this clean and wonderful property.

We had a wonderful stay at Pension BUENPAS. The accommodation is situated in a very central location, just a 5-minute walk from La Concha, allowing us to explore all the key attractions on foot. The room and amenities are basic but perfectly suited for short stays. Both the room and shared spaces were immaculate. Jon was incredibly helpful and kind, going above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent experience. We will definitely choose to stay here again on future visits to San Sebastian.

We booked this place last minute and Jon was excellent at getting all the info we needed for parking and checkin quickly. We received a very detailed message about where to park and how it works as well as instructions on how to get in our room. We didn’t have any issues with either. The place was very nice and clean. We met Jon in the morning to get the discounted parking ticket and he was so friendly and showed us the map of the town and his favourite places to eat. Excellent service all around.

4/10 Fair

Overall rather disappointing

I’ve held off writing this review for a while, but I feel the time has come to share my experience. First impressions were very good — the hotel was welcoming, very clean, and in a great location. In fact, I can’t really fault the stay itself. However, there were a few issues that changed my overall view. The front desk is not manned as it states on the website, which means it’s impossible to simply ask a question in person. That’s inconvenient enough, but the bigger problem came the day before we were due to leave. Our room had been cleaned, and I discovered that some of our clothes had been mistakenly discarded by the cleaner. I fully accept that accidents happen, but when I tried to contact the hotel immediately (via Hotels.com and text message), I received no response until two days later — after we had already left. The hotel did eventually confirm that the cleaner hadn’t realised the bag with our washing wasn’t rubbish. While I appreciated the explanation, communication has since stalled, particularly after I requested reimbursement for one item of expensive clothing. This lack of response has been very disappointing. So, would I recommend this hotel? The simple answer is: only for its location and cleanliness. It feels more like an Airbnb than a true hotel, and if service or support matters to you, this may not be the right choice.

8/10 Very good

Clean, quiet and with a great location. Good coffee and a nice owner. Be aware that it is a pension and that you will be closer to other guests than in most hotels. (Not necessarily a disadvantage.) I would visit again, but then make sure to get a room with a window to the outer world (which I think it was only our triple room which did not have).
