Unfortunately we only got to stay here for one night but I can not give this place higher praise. Excellent value for money- it's so centrally located, immaculate, beautifully decorated...I could go on! One thing I want to make mention is how incredibly helpful the owner, Virginia, was. We were here in September when Spain was having massive strikes and... More

Pension Amaiur has a big room where 2 adults and 2 kids can all sleep, and a kitchen along the corridor to have snacks / breakfast etc. Ideally located, clean, and great value. We stayed at the end of August, which was very lucky for us as on 31 August they have a street festival along calle 31 Agosto -... More

Excellent budget pension in the middle of San Sebastian's old town! Virginia was super helpful and responsive while I was arranging our stay via e-mail. It was great to finally meet her and her friendly staff. Our room was on the second floor, looking out into main street (calle 31 Agosto) with lively pintxos bars and restaurants. The bathroom is...

Pension Amaiur is the perfect budget hotel in the best location in the old town of San Sebastian, yards away from the best tapas bars in Spain. The staff and owner, Virginia, went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. The rooms were small and very clean, all with shared bathrooms. Each was decorated in funky colours and... More

stayed in the front top bedroom which had a great view of the festivals and came back for a two nite stay in the single room which was warm, but not horrifically. the place is immaculate, and having never shared a bathroom before I was really pleased with the condition of the place. Met some great people and the owner,... More

Not one for people with mobility problems as the walk up the stairs with our back packs after five hours travelling was a killer, but the positive reviews for this pension are all correct. It was centrally located, we had a room on the front of the pension and although it is one of the noisiest streets in donostia old... More

positives: perfect location right in the middle of the beautiful old town, surrounded by hundreds of fabulous pinxto bars, very close to both beaches; rooms are very cute and quirky. Virginia the host is very welcoming and makes you feel right at home, (even the cleaning ladies are super friendly..); it didn't feel as if we were sharing the bathrooms... More

Location is second to none, rooms are immaculate and Virginia is wonderful! She had all the time in the world to sit down and help us plan our trips for attractions and food. Sharing a bathroom wasn't an issue at all, and the fresh flowers were a lovely touch! We felt right at home. Not very noisy and we didn't... More

A great place to stay made even better by the host; who couldn't do enough to help us. The rooms were immaculate, the setting perfect and it made for an excellent stay in San Sebastian. The best place I've stayed in Europe.

We stayed here for 3 nights in late August. Firstly, it's right in the middle of the old town, near many of the best pinchos bars (so it is a bit lively at night, but rooms have double glazing!). Secondly, the owner Virginia was extremely welcoming and helpful, going the extra mile to help us find out where to go... More
