Pensión Amaiur

Great host - excellent communication on parking and pintxo bars

I’ve read past reviews where the owner counter attacks the reviewer. So let’s go. Firstly, the advertisement says staffed 9.00 am to 9.00 pm. This is not the case. You have to call to gain entry and someone turns up in a sweat. Dumps the keys and you and that’s it after a cursory show through of the place. Secondly, yes it’s an old building but the stairs are basically unsafe. Thirdly, the shower in our room was faulty. It didn’t drain. The room smelled damp. Issue was raised with Manager who didn’t respond. Fourthly, the fan in our room was defective our neighbor asked us to stop the oscillation as it was scrapping the common wall. Manager tries to get you communicating off Hotels.com app and use WhatsApp. I see this as deceptive. We stayed one night then left. Burned €550 but put it down to experience. The ratings can’t be believed. 4.6 on Google and 9.2 on Hotels.com

Fantastic location, friendly staff

The bed was comfortable. The location in the middle of Old Town was awesome for 2 nights!

The location is very noisy but in a great spot! Kind of goes with the place! And there was a terrible smell in the entry staircase.

Very central location.

36 stairs to reach the entrance. Long walk from parking

We loved the location and the friendly staff. The manager gave us a map and explained the location of major attractions and the best eating places. The kitchen in the hostel was great, with free tea, coffee and cake and a huge fridge.

Our bathroom was outside our room, only for us but we had to lock and unlock it each time. But this would not stop us coming back.

Excellent location, you are right in the heart of the old town with the pinxtos bars and restaurants literally on your doorstep. Beach is five minutes in either direction.

Bathroom is private but not en-suite.

Excellent location in the heart of Old Town Pinxtos bars. Within short walk of new town and Gros. A traditional property. Room was very spacious -plenty of storage.Owner gave excellent recommendation for Pinxtos on arrival. Staff helpful.
