Donosti is, without exaggeration, one of the most dog-friendly cities in Spain. With over 15,000 registered dogs for 200,000 inhabitants, the ratio speaks for itself. Accessible beaches out of season, three urban hills where dogs can run off-leash at night, a gastronomic culture that keeps pintxo bars wide open, and an exclusive dog park two minutes from the hotel. Welcome.

Frequently asked questions about your pet
- Can I leave my dog alone in the room?No. We ask that your pet is not left alone in the room, both for its well-being and out of respect for other guests. If you need to go out without your pet, reception can recommend local dog-walking or pet-sitting services.
- How many pets can I bring?Up to 2 pets per booking. If you are traveling with more, please consult us before booking.
- What documentation do I need to travel with my pet?Up-to-date health card with mandatory vaccinations and identification microchip. If you have a potentially dangerous breed (PPP), you will also need civil liability insurance and the corresponding license. As of February 2025, hotels are required to register certain guest data (RD 933/2021).
- Are dogs allowed on the beaches of San Sebastián?Yes, but only outside of the bathing season (approximately from September to May, depending on the year). During that period, dogs have access to the beaches of Zurriola, La Concha, and Ondarreta. In summer (June-August), the beaches are restricted. Please confirm the exact dates with the Donostia City Council each season.
- Is Aste Nagusia (the Great Week in August) a good time to go with a dog?Donostia in August is very busy: the Aste Nagusia fills the streets with music, fireworks, and many people. The nightly fireworks at La Concha can be stressful for dogs sensitive to noise. If your dog handles it well, it is an incredible experience. If not, September or May are ideal: fewer people, accessible beach, and Donostia is just as spectacular.
