About
Pension Goiko
Pension Goiko is a small, no-frills guesthouse occupying the upper floors of a classic building at Puerto, 6, in San Sebastian's lively old town. It offers eight compact, practical rooms – from twins and doubles to triples and quads – all with heating and parquet floors, and some with a balcony. Free Wi-Fi runs through the entire property.
The setting is the real draw: you're surrounded by the narrow streets of Parte Vieja, packed with pintxos bars and restaurants, and the marina is just outside the door. The beach is also within easy reach. The guesthouse keeps things simple, with a lift, security, and tour/ticket assistance – no restaurant, no pets, and check-in is limited to 15:00–22:00.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types, including some triples and quads, come with shared bathroom facilities, which may not suit everyone.
- Check-in window is strict — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals need to arrange in advance or risk finding the desk unattended.
- No parking on site — There is no parking provision, and the old town streets are not car-friendly – you'll likely need to park outside the centre and walk.
- Simple facilities, no extras — Don't expect a hotel lobby, breakfast, or pets allowed – this is a basic pension with no restaurants or common areas beyond the rooms.
