**”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.'”**
This hotel under the Samsung Michelin Restaurant can be described as perfect, beautiful to speechless scenery and dishes, and the breakfast that has been provided.

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.
Hygienic: very clean, equipped with a toilet
Facilities: very new, with minibar and desk, convenient, large space
Environment: equipped with parking lot and restaurant, rich breakfast, afternoon tea in the afternoon, convenient eating; the road and the mountain outside the window, very beautiful
I stayed here while visiting San Sebastian bars.
It was very close to the old town, and there was a supermarket diagonally in front of the hotel, so the location was very good.
The room was clean and the staff at the front desk were very nice and made me feel comfortable.

CcengizIt is such a nice and luxury Spa hotel. Room is very well designed and comfy. Everything you need is in the room, kettle, fridge etc. Hotel has a Spa, Gym and swimming pool. Spa is not free but Gym and swimming pool is free. If you want to stay in San Sebastián but a bit farther from city center this is perfect place for you.
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! 😃
NNagore & JacquieWe 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.
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.
