There was no reason for this accom to be bad, but it was terrible. the only thing that saved it is the beautiful city it was in. Extremely overpriced, they wanted us to pay in cash, overcharging for laundry and rental services, and genuine disturbance by cleaners coming into your room early in the morning, talking loudly, opening blinds and intruding on the privacy of the rooms. Rooms were also mostly left unlocked. the layout of the building also meant there was little privacy going to and from showers.

Great location and friendly staff! However we were in the downstairs dorms and found the lights so irritating as the sensor would turn off the lights within 2 seconds of not moving in the toilet and showers and hallways so you’re constantly having to do big movements to get the lights to stay on. 1/2 showers downstairs just had peoples wetsuits in it leaving only 1 shower downstairs. The shower temperature was inconsistent, it wasn’t 100% that you would have hot water and it’s a push shower so the water only lasts 10 seconds or so before you have to press again for more water. I saw cleaners come through every day however the shower had the same clumps of hair stuck to the walls which was gross. There were only 2 toilets downstairs for 3 large dorms. The lockers were quite flimsy as well, I didn’t trust that they couldn’t be opened easily. The rooms had aircon and a window to open for ventilation which was good. However curtains would be a great addition for privacy. It isn’t much of a social hostel, the kitchen area is quite small so not really a place to meet people.

Upon arrival me and my cousin were cautious about staying in a shared room of 8, however we were delighted at the atmosphere this place has, the staff are extremely friendly and will help you out as much as they can. Would definitely recommend this place for a short stay whilst visiting San Sebastián.

Agustin was a great receptionist super helpful at all times , very respectful and he cares about the hostel and guests . I’m very impressed !! The hostel was great, super clean and location is perfect.

NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN. I was harassed in the middle of the night by a half-dressed receptionist. The most scary experience in my life.

Great staff. Clean and simple bathroom, shower, and kitchen. Biggest perk is that it’s located in center of town and it’s an easy walk to the main beaches and old town. Bunk beds seemed a bit dirty — my bed sheets had small stains, lint, and almost felt like they weren’t cleaned (or thoroughly cleaned). Walls in bedrooms were a bit dirty too. Also, there is no lounge area or living room to sit and relax. Overall, very simple hostel for sleeping.

Nice and clean hostel, for affordable price comparing to other hostels in the city. Nice equipped kitchen, where you can cook for yourself. They have a great system of labeling your food, that way you can easily recognize and use food of people who already left and left some food there. Although for pilgrims is missing a place where you can wash and dry your clothes.

Room was cramped. Noise from the street made it hard to sleep, even with the window closed. Very expensive. The location was convenient.

Overpriced bunk bed in a very standard hostel. I booked the bed through their website and ended up paying a higher price (+10€) than if you just drop in there, which is unfair and makes no sense. Beds are thin, rooms are noisy.

Great stay, in the heart of San Sebastian. Thank you Maru for the awesome music!

Friendly staff and cheaper than other hostels. Rooms are quite simple tho

Good central location in the city. Reasonable priced compared to other hostels in the city. Maru was great for a yarn and advice around the city.

Good service for the price, I paid with 50% discount, so if the full price, remember it's hostel with bunkbeds

Very noisy rooms. Beds with thin uncomfortable matresses. Service is friendly but inefficient.

Receptionist is polite but doesn't care about the hostel. The hostel is not maintained and the bathrooms and toilets are really dirty! Bedrooms were ok but no nice ambiance in the hostel. You need to pass the reception and the front door to go from your room to the bathroom or the toilet.. Strange! One night was ok, but wouldn't stay here again.

Amazing Hostel, stayed on and off for 2 weeks and met friends that I will have for life. Great for Solo travellers as vibe is cosy. All staff were super helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to help me contact Spanish speakers to get my vehicle fixed whilst I stayed. Really Clean Hostel basic but does the job and I couldnt recommend it more. Shout out to Aughustin at reception who couldn't do enough to help me and always had a smile on his face. Couldn't recommend this hostel more highly. Josh

This hostel is really just a place to sleep. The location is awesome, right next to the river walk and close to downtown and both beaches. Besides that, there was basically no community spaces except the dining table in the kitchen which no one used. The bunk places were horribly shaky (getting into my top bunk I was genuinely worried I was going to pull the whole thing to the ground, and as the person in the lower bunk shifted, the whole bed shook and creaked which woke me in the morning). There is good security in the hostel though- in the evening the front doors are locked and you use one of the keys they give you to open it (or if someone is right there, they will often wave their hand for the inside motion detector). San Sebastian does have a lot of public spaces though and the hostel is less than one block from the path along the river which is very beautiful and frequented by the locals. The fact that there were no community spaces in this hostel didn’t really bother me as I loved wandering around the downtown to the MANY public gathering spaces and parks. Exploring/hiking the peaks in the area was lots of fun and provided great views. HIKE URGULL AT SUNSET!! You won’t regret it. I should mention that their hostelworld description is far from true. The rooms are not soundproof, the downstairs bathroom (serving half of the rooms) is tiny, and my room did not have reading lamps or hooks. There was simply an outlet and you had to keep your belongings for the night on your bed with you. No sort of lights in the bunks, curtains, or any other conveniences that most other hostels offer. I would recommend hanging out at Zurriola beach as it seemed to be more locals (also less busy) plus you can watch all of the surfers. Of course La Concha is right next to plenty of shops and other cool spots. I hope to return but will likely stay at a different hostel.

A good clean hostel. Friendly staff, who for the most part speak multiple languages and are eager to help you out. Fully functional kitchen ( it's small ) was super handy when we wanted to make out own food, but some of the equipment is starting to show its age. Beds are fairly cozy, and the place has good ventilation with the windows open. They offer outings like city tours, surfboard rentals, and pub crawls right at the front desk. Only reason it was not 5 stars was the aging kitchen items ( like kinves, cutlery, etc) and often the bathrooms were missing toilet paper or in need of a fresh towel. I would absolutely stay here again.

Upon arrival the guy that was working there didnt even say hi to us. We booked a 8 bed mixed dorm for the 2 of us. They are not taking Covid rules seriously as we are with 6 people in the dormroom in bunkbeds. Showers are okay but there is no place to change in privat when going in or coming out of the shower. After dinner we went to bed and i found a bottle cap of an icetea bottle under my pillow, makes me wonder if they even clean the sheets. If u dont mind questionable sheets and need a place to stay for a night... I will not recommend this hostel.

Despite some other disrespectful and noisy guests the employees were very helpful and allowed me to change rooms in the middle of the night. Bring your own towel, flip flops to shower and ask for the free earplugs.

I had absolutely nothing to complain about, yes, the rooms were packed but for the price and the location this is something you gotta expect in a Hostel. The kitchen is very well equipped, far better than I've seen in a lot of hostels. The shower and bathrooms were appropriately clean and the staff was friendly and relaxed.

The place is nice and welcoming. The guys who work there are really friendly. I left my shoes out of the window and they put them insider the room for fear that someone could steal them since the room was on the ground floor. I really like this. Thanks for the nice stay.

Not a very social hostel. There's no common area, just the kitchen and the high stools are the wrong height with the short table to sit and eat comfortably. They turn the rooms too quickly. Checkout is at 1030 and I was going to stay another night but they woke me up at 10:45 to change my bed. When you're trying to sleep in and have previously reserved the next night, the cleaning crew comes in then and is so loud

Loved the location of this hostel as it was just a quick walk to most places. Staff are very friendly. I only stayed the night but the man from the morning shift and the woman from the afternoon shift were very helpful when I asked about luggage storage after check out. I do have to mention that I did find it irritating that the lights kept on turning off in the restroom but nothing that would keep me from coming back. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hostel for a short stay.

A recommended hostel for sure, close to the city center, rooms are clean and simple, very friendly staff and helpful too. They let us store our bags after the checkout so we can explore the city.
