Goiuria Holidays

Nous avons séjourné quatre nuits dans cet hôtel lors de notre visite à San Sebastián. L’hôtel est bien situé, à environ 20 minutes de marche de la vieille ville. Le quartier est agréable et compte plusieurs excellents restaurants, souvent moins achalandés que ceux du centre. Le gros point négatif concerne notre chambre, qui dégageait une très forte odeur d’égouts, accentuée lorsque la climatisation fonctionnait. L’odeur était si intense qu’elle nuisait réellement à notre confort. Nous avons demandé à changer de chambre, mais l’hôtel était complet et cela n’a pas été possible. Nous avons alors demandé une compensation financière en raison des désagréments, en mentionnant que nous envisagions même de changer d’hôtel. Malheureusement, nous n’avons obtenu une réponse qu’à la toute fin de notre séjour. La seule compensation offerte a été une réduction de 10 %. Au moment d’écrire cet avis, aucun remboursement n’a toutefois été effectué. Il reste donc à voir si cette compensation sera réellement appliquée. C’est décevant, car un problème aussi important aurait mérité une prise en charge plus rapide et un geste commercial plus significatif.

easy check in despite no reception at point of arrival, good room, only snag was not enough plugs: one euro & one American plug by the bed not helpful for euro travellers as do not carry a US plug so charging awkward. otherwise perfect stay

Missing a trash can in the room

Very convenient central location only about 9min walk from bus and train station. Beach close by. There is a lift but it only goes to between floors so you will always need to climb some steps. Reception is on 3rd floor so best to leave luggage on first floor until you know which floor your apartment is. Our apartment did not have the advertised microwave but we were allowed to use the one in the shared kitchen next to our room. The hallway had plenty of supplies of tea, sugar, coffee and biscuits. Staff were very helpful. There are no laundry facilities but there is a laundromat not far away. The beach near by did not seem to have chairs and parasol hire but we later discovered that if you go left along the beach there are pergolas with covers that you can hire.

Avoid this hotel at all costs. We prepaid £750 for a three-night stay for my birthday weekend and were out of the room within 30 minutes. It was so rundown, tired, uncomfortable, and made us feel genuinely unsafe, so we immediately booked alternative accommodation rather than spend a single night there. The so-called “balcony” is misleading and bears little resemblance to what’s advertised. The photos create a completely false impression of the property, which is nowhere near worth the premium price they’re charging. To make matters worse, despite us not staying a single night, the hotel refused any form of refund or goodwill gesture. The location is the only positive, but that’s not enough to justify the price when there are far better hotels nearby for the same money. Save yourself the disappointment and book elsewhere.
