Pensión Amaiur

Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Don’t bring your car into the city but if you have to - ask for the parking voucher for nearby underground parking at circa 30 euros per day. Also note you can’t drive to the hotel to drop bags. So you’ll to walk 500m with your bags. Then up a steep set of crooked stairs to the third floor - that reflect the age and charm of the building. Only a few rooms on the floor, with a shared kitchen which was very convenient. Can’t beat the spot and the price, for ready access to dining extravaganza.

Amazing location to walk and explore the old town. Many pintxo bars, restaurants, and cafes steps from the pension. Beautiful and funky old building, cozy rooms, kept very clean. Small kitchen with a fridge, microwave, kettle and dishes for guests (as well as coffee, tea, and biscuits). Would recommend to anyone coming to San Sebastián!

Great location and clean.

The host was very nice but spoke fast in his broken English so it was difficult to understand him. The room was great with a little balcony. Everything was so clean and the bathroom nice and big. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, a variety of teas and cake which was delicious all complimentary.

This was a clean, cute pension. There are many stairs although to take to the Pension floor. The check in was very easy as well and in the heart of Old Town.

Rooms are spacious and clean and the location is amazing. It’s on a main strip yet it’s soundproof! Robert and the lady working there are wonderful with the best food recommendations.

Nice, simple place in the heart of the old district. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a good time.

Location is fantastic

So close to St Maria Cathedral and the fortress with great views of harbor and city. Great area for tapas and shops. It is a walk up, and older, but that works well for me.

Great staff, helpful about where to visit. Very clean room with comfortable bed and bedding. Dated decor but extremely good value and would definitely stay again.

Charming hotel in old town San Sebastián. Bathroom separate from room, not a problem for us. Lots of fantastic food options in the immediate area. Lovely balcony to sit and sip wine and watch the world go by.

I’ve read past reviews where the owner counter attacks the reviewer. So let’s go. Firstly, the advertisement says staffed 9.00 am to 9.00 pm. This is not the case. You have to call to gain entry and someone turns up in a sweat. Dumps the keys and you and that’s it after a cursory show through of the place. Secondly, yes it’s an old building but the stairs are basically unsafe. Thirdly, the shower in our room was faulty. It didn’t drain. The room smelled damp. Issue was raised with Manager who didn’t respond. Fourthly, the fan in our room was defective our neighbor asked us to stop the oscillation as it was scrapping the common wall. Manager tries to get you communicating off Hotels.com app and use WhatsApp. I see this as deceptive. We stayed one night then left. Burned €550 but put it down to experience. The ratings can’t be believed. 4.6 on Google and 9.2 on Hotels.com

Excellent location in the heart of Old Town Pinxtos bars. Within short walk of new town and Gros. A traditional property. Room was very spacious -plenty of storage.Owner gave excellent recommendation for Pinxtos on arrival. Staff helpful.

The double room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The man working there was very kind. He even gave us a map with helpful tips on what was going on and a list of the best pintxo bars. It didn't bother us, but because it is in the heart of old town surrounded by delicious pintxo bars (a definite overall plus for us!), you are naturally going to hear a lot of street noise at night from the room.

Great location in the heart of the old town! Surrounded by bars and restaurants, and next to the historical cathedral. Note that it’s located on a pedestrian-only street, so you will have to walk a few blocks to access, and then climb many stairs (no elevator). Our room was clean and comfortable, with a balcony overlooking the main street. Service was excellent and there’s a community kitchen to make tea/coffee, or leave food items in the fridge. Definitely recommend for a unique experience!!!

Basic but quaint accommodation in authentic pension right in the centre of the tapas area. Had to share a bathroom but that’s all they had left so really can’t complain.

Great couple of nights in San Sebastian. The staff couldn't be nicer and the place is in an ideal location for the tapas bars and shops.

Nice helpful staff. Perfect location!

Roberto was amazing! He helped with our luggage up and down the stairs. He organized bus transportation to our next destination printed our tickets. As well he printed a document which saved us running around looking for a print shop. We appreciated the common kitchen and our little balcony that looked out over the bars and restaurants below. Our room was one of few with an ensuite. The place was very clean. Amazing location right next to the church in the old city!

The location was fantastic
