Map & live prices by our partner
The core of this selection is the 18 hotels that explicitly welcome pets, spanning from the riverfront landmark Hotel Maria Cristina to the hillside retreat Hotel Gudamendi. What unites them is a relaxed attitude toward four-legged guests, but they differ in setting: some are steps from the sand, others offer panoramic views from Mount Igueldo, and a few sit on the edge of the old town. The cheapest of the bunch is Sercotel Codina at €38, while prices climb as high as €1058 at Nobu Hotel San Sebastian, so the choice really comes down to how much of your budget you want to spend on your pet's holiday.
The input provided does not specify any additional fees for pets, so we can't say for certain. However, it's common for hotels to charge a nightly fee or a one-time cleaning deposit. We recommend checking the individual hotel's policy before booking.
If you want beach access for your dog, look in the Antiguo neighborhood near Ondarreta Beach or the Gros area by Zurriola. Hotels like Hotel Ilunion San Sebastian and Casual De Las Olas are close to these beaches. For a quieter retreat, the hillside locations around Igueldo or Ulia offer more space and trails, though you'll rely on buses to reach the center.
On this page, prices range from €38 at Sercotel Codina to €1058 at Nobu Hotel San Sebastian, with a typical nightly rate around €77. The exact price you'll pay depends on the season, room type, and any pet fees.
For proximity to the old town and city center, consider Hotel Maria Cristina (€706) on the river, Catalonia Donosti (€101) on the hillside, or the more budget-friendly Pension La Perla (€54) and Talo Urban Rooms (€61) which are a short walk from the historic quarter.
Yes, several pet-friendly hotels on this page offer on-site parking, including Zenit San Sebastian, Hotel Ilunion San Sebastian, Nh Collection San Sebastian Aranzazu, Innside By Melia San Sebastian Orly, and Colectia Hotel Urumea, among others. Always confirm availability and any parking charges directly with the hotel, as spaces can be limited.
San Sebastian is a city that leans into the outdoors, and its pet-friendly hotels follow the same rhythm. Many sit close to the beaches — La Concha, Ondarreta, and Zurriola — where morning walks with a dog are part of the routine. Others climb the hillsides of Igueldo or Ulia, where the payoff is sea views and quieter streets. The range is wide: from 5-star icons on the river to budget guesthouses on the edge of the old town, with most properties clustering in the 4-star bracket.
What you pay tracks the location more than the stars. Rooms start around €38 for a basic but well-rated Sercotel Codina near the beach, while the most expensive stays, like Nobu Hotel San Sebastian, reach €1058 for a beachfront boutique experience. Guest houses, hostels, apartments, and a country house also appear on this page — a hint that pet policies here are as flexible as the city's personality. Across the board, the average rating sits at 8.6, so even budget options often punch above their weight.
This collection suits travellers who want to bring their dog along without compromising on comfort or location. It works best for those who plan to spend time outdoors — at the beach, on the hillsides, or strolling the old town — and who value the flexibility of a range that spans budget hostels to luxury icons. If you're travelling without a pet, though, you might find better value or more suitable amenities on other pages: for a central stay, check the central hotels; for a wallet-friendly trip, the cheap and budget hotels page; for family-focused options, the family friendly hotels page; and if you need guaranteed parking, the hotels with parking page. Those pages are built with your specific needs in mind, and you'll avoid paying extra for a pet policy you don't need.
