Pensión Arroka offers a practical and welcoming base in the heart of Donostia / San Sebastián. This guest house brings travelers close to the shimmering sands of La Concha beach and the cultural richness of local museums. Its location places visitors within walking distance of top attractions, vibrant restaurants, and convenient public transit stops, making exploration effortless.

The property’s modern rooms stand out for thoughtful touches like digital entrances, smart TVs, and spacious bathrooms with large baths.

“It was easy to hear noise from the hallway and there were no windows with a good view, but it was good price, the staff were kind and the room was clean and comfortable. Also, I was grateful that there were some coffee and snacks available 24 hours a day next to the reception.”

“Will stay here again! Good vibes! Location was perfect, a good 10-15 walk from to old town, good exercise for me especially after all the eating! The room was very cozy. We could relax comfortably in our room. The TV was smarttv so i can connect my netflix and spotify. The little refrigator is a plus! Coffee and tea at your disposal! The bathroom was spacious, and had a space for our toiletries. The staff was knowledgeable and verybaccommodating!”

It is very convenient that you can go to the restaurants, beach, bus/train station within 15 minutes. Room was clean and we really had everything we needed. Moreover staff is super helpful, kind and will provide you with any recommendations you may need. I would definitely come back to this place :)”
