About
Beach Break Guesthouse - Self Check-In
Beach Break Guesthouse - Self Check-In sits on the third floor of a classic old-town building on Calle Esterlines, about 400 metres from the seaside Aquarium and a short walk from Alderdi Eder. With just six rooms, it keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi, electric kettles, and a no-smoking policy throughout.
Guests consistently praise the location for exploring San Sebastian on foot. The old town's pintxo bars, shops, and restaurants are right outside, and both beaches are within a comfortable stroll. The building has been renovated and includes a lift, and rooms come with heating and thoughtful touches like toiletries and in-room tea and coffee.
