Perfect Location in San Sebastian
Pension Balerdi is the best in location. It is right in the center of the Parte Vieja. It is surrounded by restaurants and shops. Everything is near and the other sites are within walking distance. Our room is comfortable and with a spacious bathroom complete with bathroom amenities. We love the two balconies overlooking the Old town. WiFi is good. This is a pension house and not a hotel but we love the perfect location! This pension is highly recommended. (although in the early morning of our last day, there was no hot water in the shower room)

Wounderful place. Perfect location in the old town. Excellent facilities and wonderful coffee in the morning. I highly recommend the pension for your next visit in in San Sebastian. You will have everything, and will not need anything more when you stay in. Unai, the owner, will make you feel like family.

Basic Accommodations, great location
Location was perfect and the staff was very friendly. The accommodations are VERY basic. No cleaning of the room while you're there, uncomfortable bed, stuffy and the walls are very thin. If you are looking for a night with a clean bed and not much else, this is a great spot.

Great Room and Customer Service!
Our stay at Pension Balardi was fantastic! We arrived before check in time and Unai welcomed us warmly. He provided great tips about food and sights of interest and even answered questions while we were out on the town. The room was also quite comfortable and clean. The pension is located in a great part of town - near all of the tapas bars! We highly recommend the pension for anyone looking for a nice room in a great location in San Sebastián.

The hotel is on the 3rd floor without a facility of elevators.
So in my case this time was no problem but if I have big suitcases , it will be a problems.
It should be mentioned clearly and let users know about it to avoid surprises.

Perfect location, clean and comfortable.
We had a wonderful, though short stay at this Pension in San Sebastián. The location is right in the old, historic part of town with many various (pinxos?), tapas bars around. The pension owner was very friendly and helpful. The only small drawback is that there was no breakfast included with the stay, however there is coffee available.
Sehr zentral gelegen, geschmackvoll renovierte Zimmer, superfreundlicher Empfang und Service, etwas teuer für die Ausstattung (keine Klimaanlage), jederzeit wieder
