We were unfamiliar with the operations Pensions v. hotels so adjustment of expectations was necessary. However the property was clean, well located and staff was pleasant.

Clean and comfortable stay in a great location
The place was tidy and well-kept, with a reliable air conditioner that kept the room comfortable. The location is very convenient—within walking distance to all the main attractions and activities.
The bathroom was quite small, but it was clean and functional. Just a heads-up: the check-in process involves a digital system, which might be a bit tricky for some guests.

The property was super cute and super easy to access, walking distance from everything. Stayed 2 nights and there was no one there overnight but staff was present during the early day to change towels, clean the room and more. The cleanliness was decent not a 10/10 but definitely not filthy, just clean. There is a small common area as well for a coffee and somewhere to relax other than your room. Overall I give it a 10/10 for the location and the experience we had overall.

Great value
The only problem was not receiving entry/booking in email. Luckily, someone was there to allow entry.
The pension was very quiet, clean and central.
The shower was the best I've had, beating many 4 star hotels.
Room small, but comfortable.
Very good value.
Thoroughly recommend.

The stay was fine. Central location. Quiet. Very clean. Comfotable.
However, I did pay a deposit when booking. I was then charged full amount during our stay. Am now finding it difficlt/impossible to reclaim the money.

The Guesthouse was OK. The room clean and the bed was good. But I had an incident with the check in process.
I received an email with three codes. One to open the front door, one to open the door of the guest house and another for my room.
The problem was that the door to the guest house would not open. There was a phone number to call so I did.
The person answering the phone, instead of recognizing there was something wrong with the code, insisted I try the wrong code several times. I told the person about 3 or 4 times the code was maybe the problem, but instead of offering a new code, he kept insisting I was the one making the mistake when typing the code. He escalated the situation without a reason talking to me like if I were a child. This made me guess this incident might happen quite frequently and they assume automatically the guest is making the mistake, so I felt the person was not really listening to me. So, if anyone books, double check the codes.

Excellent choice and great value!
I had an awesome stay at Pensión Donistiarra! Very comfortable and clean room, great small balcony to enjoy the charming pedestrian street outside... GREAT location, close to everything, especially the main bus station, great for day trips (I did Biarritz) and airport connections.
The parking was discounted (very close by, also at bus station), which was a bonus.
