Very comfortable bed, spacious, bright room, very clean and cleaned every day. Clean bathrooms and good hair dryers available for use. Super close to Zurriola beach and plenty of restaurants and some small shops nearby. On the first floor, easy access.

The common kitchen space was really clean and had teas and coffee gratis which was very nice! I only note that there was no oven or space to cook. There is a microwave and fridge.

Extremely comfortable stay with the friendly staff at Pension Aia. The location is very convenient, very close to the beach and only 10 mins walk from the old town. Lots of lovely cafes and pintxo bars nearby. The staff went above and beyond to provide us with helpful information and suggestions about the area.

Firstly, the welcome from the two most beautiful hosts was actually quite heart warming . Maria and Paolo could not have been more friendly , personable , helpful and attentive. Additionally, the expert local knowledge that they provide to everybody on checking in was second to none. We visited each and every place that they told us about and every one was a wonderful experience. These two people are exceptionally hosts , so personable and kind, we almost felt like we were staying with friends. Their local knowledge saved us so much time and enabled us to really make the most of our three day trip. Maria and Paolo really made us feel at home in their beautifully designed and immaculately clean Pensión. Perfect location two minutes from the beach, I could talk all night about this super little gem of a place . Dan Sebastián you have our hearts as do maria and Paolo and Pensión Aia . THANK YOU SO MUCH . Melissa and Pete xx

This is one of the best places I have stayed in. Pension Aia is a calm & relaxing place to stay. the beds are very comfortable, the place is very clean & there is a lovely kitchen & lounging area with coffee, tea & a fridge to make guests feel at home. Best of all was our lovely host, Paulo who was welcoming, informative and helped with whatever problem or request I had. Paulo made our stay most enjoyable & I can recommend Pension Aia wholeheartedly

Amazing comfortable and clean room. A very friendly check in upon arrival, offering suggestions on where to go and what to do in the area. Location was excellent, quick walk to the surfers beach and 12 minute walk into the old town. Loved having a kettle available with tea and coffee as well as some biscuits. The room was cleaned daily and the cleaner was very friendly, also offering advice on what to do. If ever in San Sebastien again, would love to return and stay here.

Nothing to fault.

This was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The staff was so kind and gave us a bunch of recommendations for things to do in the city. The location was right near a great beach where we played volleyball and could surf. It is a short walk from Old Town where there are great restaurants and bars. On the street of the hostel there are plenty of places to eat also. The hostel provides you with some cereal and crackers for free! There is a clean kitchen for use. Our room was a good size with a very comfy bed. There was a personal shower and sink and enough storage for everything. The communal bathrooms was always cleaned and stocked. I would 10/10 recommend this place!

Not one complaint.

Great location close to the surf-beach and many restaurants very close-by. Great for discovering Donostia on foot. Paulo and his wife are great hosts who could not be more helpful. Some of the tips Paulo gave us you cannot find in any tourist guide. Spotlessly clean.

Nothing to complain about.

It was so beautiful!! The location is just perfect, it’s close to the beach and the city Center (basically close to everything). The rooms are super sweet and it was so comfy! The host is really nice and welcoming, they show you different locations and you can call them at any time. We definitely recommend the Pensión Aia 10/10

The only littlest thing is that they don’t have a stove, so you can not cook there, but have fresh things n their fridge, which is fine too :)!

Super comfortable bed, amazing location (steps from the surf beach), nice terrace off the room. Staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and at home. While I did not have an en-suite room, I did have my own shower in the room which was a nice bonus!

A little pricey for what you get but that is standard for San Sebastián
