Pension Amalur is in the heart of San Se, 5 minutes from the beach, the main street, Urbieta, and 5-7 minutes from the Old Part (Parte Vieja). The owner, Miguel, is very friendly and helpful, and ensures everyone feels relaxed in his home. The bedrooms and bathrooms are cleaned everyday, with fresh sheets and towels. There is free internet access... More

I booked in for two nights with Miguel and was positively surprised of everything! I stayed in a 6 bed dorm and met really nice international people straight away. We were hanging out together and had loads of fun. Miguel was great, giving you a tour through the pension and loads of information on Sanse. He was always there to... More

The owner of the pension was great in giving tips about san sebastian, even though he spoke hardly any english it worked with french, spanish and body language! Nice rooms, quiet place but excellent location in the central parts.

We had a wonderful stay at this pension. You cannot get a better location (2 blocks from the beach), and the owner is really hospitable. Miguel will help you with anything and is very welcoming. We stayed in a double private room and were very pleasantly surprised. The bathroom was very clean and newly renovated. The bed was comfortable and... More

San Sebastian is a truly lovely place! The Amalur owner is a sweet little Spanish man who graciously showed me directions on a map he provided me with. He told me the best sites to visit and good areas to eat/ go out at night. Location is great, close walk to everything...beach, sites, restaurants, shipping, bars & discos. The rooms... More

I stayed at Amalur for two nights while in San Sebastian. Miguel was a fantastic host. He took great care of everyone there. The beds were comfortable and although there were 8 or 9 people in a room, you felt like you had your own space. There is a small kitchen as well with a computer/internet. Miguel provides beach towels... More

As a solo traveller, I moved to this place after a few days in a surfers hostel in the city centre. The change was unbelievable. The rooms are huge, the beds are comfortable (goodbye bunk beds!), there were no queues for the bathrooms. The staff were superhelpful and I really really enjoyed my stay there.

Miguel was so kind and helpful, we felt safe in his hands. We stayed in a 4 bed private room with ensuite, 3 girls and 1 boy. The room was cleaned every day and was immaculate. The common room is a great place to meet other travelers. Its a 5 minute walk to the old town, which is great as... More

This is a wonderful youth hostel to stay in. Manuel, the owner, could"nt be nicer. He helped us find a wonderful restaurant to have paella and wine and was a great overall help. The rooms were clean and simple. If you're going to stay in a youth hostel, this is the one to be in.

Miguel is great, his restaurant recommendations were good and in general he was very helpful despite having no English. We had a slight issue checking in because he wasn't around and we had to wait for a while but I think it was slightly our fault as we were quite a bit later than we specified when booking (to be...
