About
Pension Basic Confort
Pension Basic Confort sits on the second floor of a building on San Lorenzo Street, right in San Sebastian's lively Old Town. It is a straightforward 2-star pension, but guest reviews consistently describe the rooms as feeling brand-new and spotless, with modern bathrooms and balconies. The location is the big draw: you are steps from the bars and restaurants of the old town, and within easy walking distance of the Concha Bay waterfront.
The pension is small and personal. There are two room types — a Double Room with one double bed and a Twin Room with two singles — each with a shower, heating, and a balcony. The hosts get frequent mentions in reviews for being helpful and welcoming, even offering a cold drink to one guest on arrival. It is a no-frills stay, but the combination of cleanliness, comfort, and position makes it a strong choice for exploring San Sebastian on foot.
