Where to stay in San Sebastian
Staying in the Parte Vieja puts you right on the doorstep of the city's main markets and pintxos bars, and you can reach almost everything on foot. The Hotel de Londres y de Inglaterra is a classic choice with sea views and an easy walk to the old town action.
If you prefer something a bit quieter, the Gros neighbourhood across the river is laid-back, well-connected, and has its own great food scene just a short stroll from the centre.
