Rough Guide
"This welcoming nine-room pensión stands in a relatively quiet location close to the main train station, Zurriola beach, and old town. All rooms are newly and brightly decorated... En-suite facilities."

For maximum peace, opt for an “interior” room, though those facing out are equipped with balconies (and cost a few euros more).
