Heart of Old Town
Ur-Alde is located on the second floor of an apartment building in San Sebastian Old Town, bounded by Mount Urgull, the Urumea River, and Concha Bay. It's a 5-minute walk to the city center, La Concha Beach (0.5 km), San Telmo Museum (1 km), and the Aquarium (0.5 km).
Guest Services & Sustainability
The property provides concierge service, car hire, and bike hire. Check-in is available from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, with self-check-in codes provided for arrivals after 3:00 pm. Guests can request daily room cleaning or opt out for environmental reasons. Free Wi-Fi and private parking are available. The staff can assist with printing needs.
“What this hotel lacks in sprawling square footage, it more than makes up for with its prime Old Town location. Its distinctive, individually styled rooms are a refreshing change from typical hotel layouts. Street-facing balconies offer engaging views, while even the quieter back rooms provide glimpses into authentic local life. For those who prioritize location and character, this stay feels like temporarily joining the fabric of San Sebastian.”
