We arrived here, walking up the rickety wooden old steps up the hostel - and were greeted by Virginia a very lovely woman who showed us around to our room and the facilities very kindly. The rooms were very clean and homely and the shower and bathroom also very clean. She was a great help in telling us where to... More

I am no big fan of shared bathrooms, but as there was no queuing ever and they were always spotless clean, it did not mind it at all. The staff is absolutely amazing and can help you with everything - the best pintcho bars, a great (and cheap) breakfast place (Bideluz), restaurants for sit-down dinners, walks, cultural destinations, shopping...thank you...

My friend and I spent 4 days in San Sebastian last week and we struggled to book accomodation before leaving due to it being peak holiday season. Trip advisor found this little gem - and thank God, it was simply wonderful. Right in the heart of the old town hustle and bustle of pintxo and sangria heaven, it is also... More

We stayed at the Pension Amaiur for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. The location is unbeatable, the street is packed with amazing restaurants and bars (though you couldn't hear them from our room) and really close to the beach. The staff were very welcoming, providing lots of tips on what to do and where to go. The shared bathroom... More

This pension was recommended to us by a friend and we would like to recommend it to everyone. It is ideally located in the old part of the city right on the corner of two of the main eating and drinking streets. When we arrived all the staff were very friendly and helpful in suggesting places for our first pinxos.... More

This is our 2nd visit to San Sebastian and the 2nd time we have stayed at Pension Amaiur - we love it! Great location and lovely staff. The pension is located in the old town, which is a fantastic place to stay. We'll definitely stay in the Pension again....

Pension Amaiur was a great value find, and right in the heart of old San Sebastian! Virginia was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the best restaurants and things to do in town. The rooms were very clean and, although the old format of the pension necessitated sharing bathrooms (2 full baths for every 3 rooms), this was not a problem... More

Friendly? Tick! Convenient? Tick! Value for money? Tick! This little gem is right in the heart of the old town, accessed directly off the street. The charming welcome makes you feel very comfortable. Breakfast isn't included in the price but if you're not full of pintxos you're not trying. There's a well equipped kitchen so pop to the nearest bakery... More
