Best location and space!

We loved our stay at Pension Ab Domini. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, the space was clean and ample and the location could not have been any more perfect. If we’re able to visit San Sebastian again, we will only look to stay here again.

Room 3 was advertised. We were placed in room 1 which was tiny. The check in person did not speak English to discuss. We did not feel safe as the code to enter the building was the same as the pension building. Would never stay there again.

Great place, very warm welcome, fantastic location

The pension is really nice, we received a very warm welcome, and the staff were very helpful during the whole stay. We stayed for 4 nights and had our room upgraded halfway through which was a nice touch. The first room was fairly small but had everything we needed, and came with complimentary drinks, hot drink facilities and lots of small extras. The second room was much bigger and nicer, but both were clean and had lots of nice touches. Location is superb being right on the edge of the old town. Would definitely stay again and highly recommended

Great value & position perfect

A great basic pension in a fantastic position. Our room was small but adequate and had a lovely small balcony that looked out over the street below. The receptionist was very helpful and welcoming even though we had no Spanish. We would recommend Ab Domini without hesitation - great value for money.

Friendly hotel in centre of town

Found the hotel easily. Upstairs but good working lift so luggage up to the hotel floor was easy. I selected the room with its own bathroom which was well worth the extra cost. The view was great over the church and town streets. Only a little street noise as windows well insulated. Room clean and tidy with a lovely suprize of bubbles and juice free of charge. Staff were helpful, spoke English and were able to advise about local restaurants and things to do. Loved our stay.

Cute hotel located in old town between 2 beaches

Very cute hotel with amazing location directly in old town (where the pinxtos trail and nightlife is) and short walk to Playa Concha and Zurriola. Hotel is also essentially at the base of Mont Urgell so you can easy access to do a hike up and around the back to the Ocean. Aside from the great location, the best part about the hotel is the owner's love of her place and attention to detail. She really wants you to enjoy her place, provides a bottle of cava and a couple waters and mini fridge in the room, has pre-ready towels and separately beach towels, a blow dryer in the room seperate from the washroom for girls getting ready and maps of all of her favourite restaurants and how to get around. The little balcony and window openings get great fresh air into the room so we had great ciesta's. Overall great stay for 2 nights in San Sebastian. Absolutely would stay again.

Unbeatable location for a great value

Claudia is very nice and the location of the hotel is unbeatable. Overall the value is great - we even splurged on the corner room which is very nice. Claudia emailed a couple days before to ask when we would be there; although the place only has five rooms, she was at the front desk from noon to 9pm both days we were there which is impressive. The room was clean, there was a fan - which was nice to add to some air we could get by opening the windows. I would come back for the location!!

A short stay in San Sebastián

I want to start saying that I loved the town of San Sebastián. The hotel’s location is the best you can buy for the money. The hotel is next to the plaza del Mercado in the old town. t’s central and ideal walking distance, for tapas hopping. Claudia gave us nice attention suggesting the best places to go for tapas. The hotel itself is an older small apartment going up a couple flight of stairs. The room is small and cozy. There is a small fridge with some complimentary water, soda, and juice which were very convenient.

A great location in a Great Place to visit.

A perfect location in this lovely town. Entrance a little shabby but don't be put off! Accommodation on second floor but has lift. Small reception friendly helpful staff. Our room was one of two with private bathroom, room was a little small but compact with Comfy bed but pillows rather hard.Lovely white bedding and towels. The waldrobe door came off when opened, but was repaired later that day. Nice touches, free soft drinks etc in fridge and tea, coffee & biscuits. Safe in waldrobe. Bathroom had large shower and variety of free toiletries. Dressing gown and slippers. Great central location for Restaurant's, Bars Beach, Parks etc all within easy walking distance. Only downside opposite is a school and every morning 8-8.30am was noisy with children playing in playground !! Would we stay again Yes. .

Great value and perfect location

We were warmly welcomed and the room was made ready for us as soon as possible. The manager made some restaurant recommendations which proved to be excellent for both quality and value. The room had a minbar with free water and soft drinks. A bottle of cava was also offered on arrival. The bathrooom was shared but this was not an issue as it was just across the corridor; gowns and disposable footwear were provided. Location of the property is great with easy access to the old town for bars and restaurants and the beach at Gros. Very highly recommended.

Nice little hotel next to old town. Helpful staff.

We had a great stay here. Free water, juice and a bottle of champagne on arrival. Although the toilets and showers are external to the room they were very close, always clean and almost always available. Most importantly, Claudia was super helpful. We both lost our bags on separate airlines, and she helped speak to the airlines and coordinate their return to us. Highly recommended.

Try to find something better

Excellent location and very helpful, friendly staff. Very tiny room that was primitive in furnishings. We loved San Sebastián and have never been here before, but we have to believe there are better places to stay for less cost. Other places we have stayed in Spain give much greater value in lodging for a lot less money. Also, there is no parking and you cannot even get close to the pension to unload your car. You must walk about 3 blocks from the underground parking lot with all your luggage, so that may be an issue for some visitors. The pension gets you a discount on the parking, but still 15 Euros per day with the discount.

Very clean and excellent friendly & helpful staff. Location is central close to everything. Claudia was very knowledgable of the area and things to do, see & eat, including a map breaking down the eating establishments by type (pinchos, tapas, sit down restaurant etc) which is very useful in a foodie town like San Sebastian. Thanks again!

Perfect location in the old town, right "amoung" it all but not exposed to the revelry going on into the small hours. The shares bathroom situation was no problem at all as two to choose from, both the best we have found so far in Spain, always clean and never encountered anyone else using them. Our hostess Claudia, could not have been more helpful, 10 out of 10 for hospitality. Terry & Erin McLean New Zealand

Perfekt läge och bra logi

Ab Domini ligger helt perfekt i San Sebastian, bara några få steg från mängder av barer och restauranget och 5-10 minuters promenad från de stora shoppinggatorna. Pensionen i sig är visserligen litet ålderdomlig, men väl renoverad och med fräscht badrum. Personalen hjälpsam och tillmötesgående. Enda problemet är att det rum vi hade verkligen var i minsta laget - det gick inte att öppna resväskan på golvet och ändå ha fri passage runt sängen. Fr en vistelse på två dagar gick det någorlunda, men i det långa loppet hade det blivit irriterande.

旧市街地のど真ん中で周囲にタパスレストランがありとても便利なペンション

従業員がとてもフレンドリーでレストラン予約、駅までの早朝タクシー手配、小旅行の相談など一生懸命対応してくれるのが好感が持て心地よい。 このペンションは有名なタパス料理店がすぐそばでとても便利である。というのは旧市街は 12時PMから車両乗り入れ禁止でタクシーが入れないので要注意。 ペンションの性格上からトイレシャワーは共同ですが、2か所隣接しており、特に問題はなく料金は良心的で割安感あり。
