“This lodging stands out for its prime location in the old town, a short walk from La Concha Beach and the best pintxos bars. Rooms are renovated, and while some spaces may be compact or have less privacy in the bathroom, the comfortable beds and central setting are significant advantages. Be aware that being in the heart of the action means some street noise is to be expected.”
