We loved our stay at Pension. After arriving to a very rainy and cold San seb Paulo greeted us with a smiling face. The place feels really homey and is very comfortable. A short walk to the old town but also with good cafes across the rd. We were leaving on a Sunday and there were no buses to the... More

We had such a great stay here! Such a helpful, friendly, welcoming host. Clean facilities. Would recommend to all. Such a great price. 2 mins from beach. On the door step of great cafes! And only a short walk to bars and shops

Wonderfully clean and well decorated hostel. Met by Paulo who was so friendly and helped us with anything we needed. Very well equipped kitchen/dining area and breakfast foods, tea, coffee, jam etc provided. Our room ( the purple one, room 10 I think) was overlooking the main street with a small balcony but it was quiet with double glazing and... More

When we looked at accomodation in San Sebastian we struggled to find anything with the wow factor, so we decided to go for a more budget option! Pension Aia is brilliant - it's is great value, rooms, small but nicely done, we had a terrace which was huge and so nice to have a cold beer on. The owner is... More

In a nutshell: friendly, very clean, good location, good value. We recommend the place. We stayed one night off season in January, I don't know how full the place was (there are a dozen rooms) but when it's busy, I should think it could get noisy as well as hot. I don't know if this is the case for all... More

Great clean hostel with very friendly and helpful owner. He gave us great recommendation and took the time to show us around and make sure we had all we needed. Rooms are small but clean and well presented and we had a nice en suite though the shared bathrooms were always spotless too. Good location allows you to walk to... More

Could not believe our room was only €45. Its modern, private shower, balcony with a view and double glass, warm, flat screen tv with cables. The pension was recently renovated and resembled more like a self service apartment than a pension. The kitchen is well stocked and there was a good wifi connection. 2 minutes walk to the Surf beach,... More

Extremely welcoming staff, and very helpful. Clean, new, recently built or renovated. It is close from the downtown in a great city. It makes you feel at home. We will be back for sure in this fantastic place.

I recently stayed at Aia in San Sebastian with some friends. It's a real find. Friendly, clean, comfortable and in a great location. It's got all the facilities you really need, en suite, comfy beds, a small kitchen area for breakfast and it's only a block from the beach. There are cafes, bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk... More
