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."
