About

Pension Urumea

Pension Urumea is a 2-star guesthouse on the first floor of a building on Getaria Street, right in San Sebastian's City-Centre district. With only six rooms, it offers an intimate, no-fuss base for exploring the city. The property sits opposite the San Telmo Museum and within a five-minute walk of Mercado San Martin, so much of the old town and the main beach are easily reachable on foot.

Rooms are simple but well-kept, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, heating, and views over the courtyard. Guests have highlighted the spotless condition and the peaceful atmosphere, despite the central location. The guesthouse runs a strict no-smoking, no-pets policy, and check-in is between 13:30 and 22:00, so plan your arrival accordingly.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small property, limited facilities — With only six rooms and no on-site restaurant or gym, this is a bare-bones base rather than a full-service hotel.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this guesthouse won't work – the policy is strictly no pets.
  • Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:30 and 22:00, so you'll need to plan your arrival to fit that window.

“The location was perfect for me – right by restaurants, bars, bus stops, and shops, though the crowds of tourists could get in the way of a good sleep. Tried some takeout from Goiko Grill, which was just a short walk away.”
