Desperately searching for a room last august, they proposed a nice and confortable double but with a "special" offer: we could only pay by cash, not by credit card. This obviously means that they didn't gave us any receipt or invoice at the end of our stay. My partner remembered the same thing happened to him on a previous stay... more

we stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and eacn night we were disturbed by other guests arriving in the early hours and talking in very loud voices and their pet dogs barking. the walls are very thin and we could hear everything. the room was ok and we didn't mind the walk down to the beach but it would... more

San Sebastian is one of the most expensive cities in Spain and hotels don't come cheap. The Avenida therefore stands out as a decent quality hotel at extremely reasonable prices (which include breakfast). The downside is the location. The walk down to the beach is not too bad but its quite a climb back up to the hotel. The old... more

The information provided by the hotel gave us the impression that we would be close to the beach (we weren't), that all rooms had a view (our view was of the trees across the noisy street we overlooked), and that all rooms had airconditioning (we had a very nice fan). Needless to say we were VERY disappointed when we checked... more

A buffet breakfast is included in the 69 euros/night. The excellent Rekondo restaurant is located right next to the hotel. The hotel is a little way from... more

Very new clean hotel with friendly helpful staff. The view was not great over a building site but we were only staying for one night and it was perfect for what we wanted (free parking, good service, clean hotel.) more

I stayed at the hotel during the Master's World Track and Field Championships. You need a car to stay here. It is a long walk to the beach and town. The hotel was clean and the staff friendly. The room was a bit stuffy. San Sebastian is a beautiful city (like Rio de Janiero without crime). Next door was an... more
