Pensión Amaiur

Great, central location, walkable to everything. Staff is very friendly and helpful. However, be sure to understand this is a very, very basic place. Towels are thin and small, the bathroom cramped. The room is very basic as well as worn bedding. But, everything was very clean! There are no extras whatsoever. You will have to carry your luggage up several flights of narrow old wooden stairs. You cannot beat this price in the heart of it all. But, certainly not a place to stay if you are looking for any services.

Perfect location, very friendly staff who gave great recommendations for local tapas bars we should check out (which all turned out to be great). Room was not huge but had everything we needed. Reception is closed from 12-1 or maybe 12-2PM which we didn't know until we arrived; we knew we were early, but had assumed we could leave our bags at reception. Just something to keep in mind. There is a common area by reception with coffee and tea fixins, which was great; we weren't there long enough to need it, but there is also a refrigerator if you stay for a while and want to store some cold cuts for sandwiches or etc. Highly recommend, especially for the great price we paid. Great value

Very good welcome. Help with suitcases, needed as we are elderly and there are quite a lot of stairs. Patron very knowledgeable about the local area and history of the area. The house is the oldest in San Sebastian, great for historians, and very well placed for all the best eateries for which San Sebastian is renowned. Our room was comfortable, huge bed that met our needs well. We were a little chilly, but given an extra quilt and that worked well for us. We were really impressed that there is a small kitchen with tea/coffee making facilities, plus toaster and microwave plus crockery and cutlery. Very useful The internet worked well. We were given every assistance with arranging a taxi. The Patron is able to arrange a discount for the local car park (about 400 metres away). Only Taxis are allowed in the Old Town itself, but taxis are not expensive. Our room overlooked the Old Town Square where much of the celebrations for the Annual Saints Day are held. The place was spotlessly clean and staff unfailingly helpful. We thoroughly recommend a stay here.
