Bodegas Amaren

Budget friendly studio with full amenities close to Ondarreta Beach. The only objection is the bed which is very small for two people. Online check-in is meaningless as you must do another at the reception!!

Our room on the second floor was incredibly noisy due to the food elevator bringing provisions from the kitchen located in the basement to the ground floor. This would start at 6;30 in the morning and would be heard every 5 to 10 minutes. I cannot state how loud it was preventing us from sleeping. This is a tremendous insult to the guests near rooms 101, 102, 103, etc. All they said was “sorry about that.” They must be fully aware of this problem, but they just could care less therefore I would definitely not recommend this hotel especially for what they charge a night for a room.

The room was very clean. We were only given very large towels, no hand towels, bath mat or wash cloths, but we made due. The owner was very responsive when I had a question about the air conditioning. There were no extras like coffee, tea, or sugar. Also, not much given for soaps and shampoos. There is a washing machine and dishwasher, we were given one load worth of detergent for each. This is a residential vacation property so there are no services at this property like restaurants or luggage storage. But, there are some markets and restaurants nearby walking distance, just check their hours of operation. And there are buses that can get you to the downtown area very easily. There is a taverna that is part of the property that opens on Saturdays and Sundays only. The staff were very friendly and we had a nice coffee and breakfast with them one day.
