San Sebastián Parking a rental car in San Sebastian
Posted: Thu August 16, 2007 03:48 PM UTC
Hello all,

We'll be driving from Madrid up to the San Sebastian area in October. Are we going to have a problem finding a hotel with parking in San Sebastian? Or, should we stay somewhere outside of San Sebastian? But, then we will still have the problem of where to put our car when we visit San Sebastian.

Help, please.

Thanks!

We stayed at the Hotel Avenida (http://www.hotelavenida.net/iindex.htm) in late May and found it one of the best hotels we stayed at during 2 months in Europe. Its on the outskirts of San Seb and has great views overlooking the city - and yes they do have their own off street car park. The local bus passes the door and will get you into the main city centre in about 10 minutes.

Staff very friendly and the public areas are luxury like. Great breakfast is included in the price of 69 Euro(+VAT) Sorry I have not got around to writing a review of the hotel but will give it a 5 star rating.

If you want to visit adjonining areas ... OK, but there is no need of a car in San Sebastian, and we did not stay in the center of town - we stayed at Villa Soro. Buses are great - you are in for a treat! Make sure you make reservations for lunch, otherwise you'll end up with pintxos and wine - which is also good!

We stayed at the Hotel Londres and they found parking for us but it was still $20 euro per day. Once parked our van stayed parked for three days. The problem is because the eating is so good, you end up drinking a lot of wine. Not a good combination for driving. Fortunately, there are many great tapas bars in SS that you can walk to. Karl
