"Set right on La Concha Beach, this 148-room hotel recalls the San Sebastián of the Belle Époque era, when Spanish royalty made the city its summer playground."

"This classical-style luxury hotel with grand public spaces within occupies a 19th-century palace on La Concha beach."

Avoid rooms on lower floors, as street noise can disturb light sleepers, but the tradeoff for sea views seems to have a monetary and comfort-level price for some.
Rough Guide

Rough Guide
"This welcoming nine-room pensión stands in a relatively quiet location close to the main train station, Zurriola beach, and old town. All rooms are newly and brightly decorated... En-suite facilities."
i
For maximum peace, opt for an “interior” room, though those facing out are equipped with balconies (and cost a few euros more).

"The owners of this excellent pensión read the rule book on what makes a good hotel and have complied exactly... For our money, we’d say this one is very hard to beat."
