**”BAD: Beware of the 'Upgrade'”**
Our priority when booking was the room size and budget, so we reserved a 32m² City View room.
At check-in, the hotel staff offered us an ”upgrade.” He said that for an additional €25 per day, we could ”upgrade,” so we agreed.
However, while the room did have a Sea View, the size was downgraded to just 21m². I told them that paying €25 to have a smaller room was a downgrade, but they insisted that the view had been upgraded.
I asked to be moved back to the room we originally booked, but the staff ignored my request for an entire day.
Let me ask you this: if you went to see a new landscape, and the view changed, how would you describe it? You wouldn’t say the landscape itself was ”upgraded,” would you? You’d say the view was different or better.
The following day, I finally got a response from the staff. They told me I’d need to pay an additional €70 per day if I wanted a 32m² Sea View room.
While the hotel facilities and scenery are excellent, the staff are focused entirely on business and seem to aim to squeeze every extra euro from their guests.
In the end, we ended up paying the €25.
**Beware of the 'Upgrade.'”**
We have a wonderful experience walking up the hill and locating Avenida Hotel. The views are amazing and looking stunning up the mountain. Great location walking distance to the beach and city. Excellent services at reception and morning breakfast. Easy access to gym and swimming pool.
The surrounding environment is very quiet, the hotel is very large, it should have just been renovated. The rooms are quite spacious, the facilities are very new, the beds are big and very comfortable. Toiletries are very complete, the front desk attitude is very good and patient. There is an extra charge for parking. Overall good.

Amazing stay for San Sebastián. Older Victorian style villa converted for boutique hotel use. Excellent concept and room! Cleaning staff was thorough and all staff was amazing and helpful. Didn’t spend much time on the property but no need as the city itself is amazing.
The hotel is located in the middle of the mountain in San Sebastian, far from the city center, unless it is a self-driving tour, don't live here, the traffic is inconvenient. But the hotel is quiet and beautiful, the room is comfortable, like a classical manor.
Located on a quiet street right in the heart of town, a few minutes walk to the old town and to the beach, this is a gem of a hotel, clean, modern and with an excellent restaurant attached. The staff are very helpful and attentive in multiple languages. One of the best recent hotel stays I've experienced. Thank you.

AAya✴︎Pros:
- cozy and natural woody taste room which is definitely my type
- water is free of charge if you ask the front
- sunshade was smart enough to be controlled by buttons
✴︎Cons:
- no place to get foods besides the restaurant located inside the hotel
- ordering by an item is not available for at least the lunch time we went, had to order 2 items for each person including dessert
- location is a bit far from the busy area of San Sebastian however taking taxi only took 12-13euros even at night, and taking a bus is easy on the way since going to the bus stop is really within a minute.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel if you are easygoing to get around taking a taxi and a bus and rather sleep in a quiet area.
ととんころりんIt's a 15 minute walk from Kikutetsu station and bus terminal, and a 5 minute walk from the city center private railway station. There is a large supermarket nearby. There are many restaurants nearby, including one that serves Basque-style Japanese cuisine (the owner chef is Japanese).
The hotel is stylish and clean. The only drawback is that the elevator doesn't come easily. Internet speed is ok.
JJiandandexingfuThe room is very good, and basically meets the hygiene standards. The breakfast is very good. The waiters are very nice. It's just that the location is a bit remote, but the city is not big, so it's good. Recommended.
AAnonymous UserGood location and very seamless check-in. The room was clean and comfortable. The hostel allowed us to store our luggage at no extra charge, which was super convenient. Breakfast was okay. The only thing is that the shared bathroom could use a bit more attention to cleanliness, especially since it's used by around 10 people. Overall, though, it was quite a good experience!

LLamfood22The hotel room is very large, clean and well-organized, even pillows can have many choices, very intimate! The staff's English is very fluent, and they take the initiative to introduce different attractions, very friendly and polite! The location of the hotel is far from the old city, but there is a bus stop nearby. If you take the bus, you can go to 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 in about 15 minutes. This hotel is highly recommended! 😃
GGuest UserHonestly, I liked the first hotel. I went to four-star but I did not see the cleanliness and uniformity of the room. It was spacious, very beautiful, elegant, and a wonderful bathroom. It had very, very good taste. I hope to return to it. I am very comfortable, but its prices are affordable for everyone. I would give it five stars.

GGuest UserIf you are looking for a place to sleep and an excellent location for a cheaper price than the surrounding hotels, this is a great option! However, I had not stayed in a pension before and I didn’t realize that we would be sharing a bathroom with 5-6 other people.
The workers were polite, professional and accommodating! They provided coffee, tea and water.

GGuest UserVery good service overall. Cleanliness was excellent. The mattress was very comfortable and the bed was very large. Very satisfied. The location is central and very close to the beach. The price-performance ratio was very good.
