in reality wished to stay in a pension or even one-star hotel in downtown, closed to everything but with their highest rates plus parking, expenses were high over expected... SS became very expensive in the last years... Is located side perched on Mount Igeldo a little bit isolated, walking down to the beach and passing through a nice neighborhood (Ondarreta)... More

we chose this hotel because it accepts dogs and is only 5 minutes walk [downhill] to the beach. Reception impressive and rooms are lovely, spacious and clean with an excellent shower. Downside is that there is nowhere just outside to take the dog late at night or first thing - there is a little patch of grass across the road... More

The room was specious and clean and it had a lovely view. I didn't like the fact that the heater goes on automatically and there's no way to turn it off. We had to keep our window open because it was way too hot for us. The staff was not overly friendly. In a residential area and a hike to... More

Hotel Avenida has a lot of good qualities. It was one of the more affordable hotels in a pricey location. It had a nice small pool and area to sunbathe. The room was large with a well sized bathroom and powerful shower. It is not in the centre of San Sebastian but I really liked that about it. It was... More

This was a great choice of hotel for us on our recent stay in San Sebastian. It is located on a steep slope overlooking the town and from some rooms (one of which was ours) it overlooks the beautiful bay. It is about 10 minutes walk to the beach down the hill and as there is a local bus (number... More

Avenida was the perfect choice for us. Located about 20 minutes walking from lively old town, the hotel is midway up a surrounding hill in Donostia. The view is gorgeous. The bathroom, with nice amenities, is separated from the main living area by a hallway that leads to a spacious bedroom. The lobby is pretty but not too active --... More

Nestled part way on a hillside this hotel is spotlessly clean and very very quiet. It has little in the way of a bar or any sign of a snack service but is very old fashioned in its style. Nothing against that for me. The town perimeter is about 10 min. Walk and the beach about 15 min. It has... More

We had a most fabulous stay at this hotel in San Sebastian. It is located about a 10 minute walk to the beach (up / down a small slopey hill, so if you don't like walking, perhaps this may not be your place!). The hotel is very peaceful, perfect location to be just out of the tourist hustle and bustle... More

After a bad start in San Sebastian in an overpriced tiny room near the centre, we came out here for a 2 night stay. It's on the far side of the bay but the views are great and it's about a 20min walk into the old town (there's also a bus). The room was very spacious with a big bathroom... More

We booked through travelocity and were pleasantly surprised when we went into the room. Big bathroom, windows w/ a view, lots of closet space, a mini fridge & a day bed/couch in the corner perfect for all our bags. The hotel is on a hill above the main cove of San Sebastian and it was about a 8-10 minute walk... More
