so pleasantly surprised the second i entered the room and 'casa' bed! i had a very late check in and they sent me all the instructions, it was very easy. the bed is extremely comfortable, with different lighting options and even an individual ipad and earphones ensuring the room was quiet. the rooms are spacious and have storage areas under the beds for luggage. the location is ideal, close to the train and bus stations and the old town. very easy to find. i didn't explore the kitchen/shared spaces or get to enjoy the coffee as i was really only there to sleep for a few hours before my early train but i am so happy i stayed.

Nice staff, always listening and ready to help Amazing location, 10 mn walk to bus station, 5 mn walk to playa Zurriola and 10-15 mn walk to Playa la concha. Many markets and restaurants around, very lively and safe neighborhood It was very clean, well decorated with nice common area The feminine shared room wasn’t very big, but warm, comfortable and calm. There was no noise from other rooms or from people sharing the room The room have its own bathroom and wc, the bed was comfortable, and sheets warm. There’s a locker for each bed but bring a lock pad The breakfast was simple yet sufficient: toasts, cheese, charcuterie, fruits, cake and cookies, coffee, milk, juices, cornflake.. I was so satisfied with the stay and I highly recommend

Patricia was very nice, helped us find a great place for dinner. The layout of the albergue is a little odd...the toilet and sink are in the same room as the shower, so you have to wait for someone to finish showering if you need to use the bathroom.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This is the best hostel I have ever stayed at. The staff were incredibly friendly. Nacho was especially awesome on the kayaking trip and gave me lots of great recommendations of things to see and do during my stay in San Sebastian. The beds were comfortable and the shared areas were awesome. The free breakfast was also great. Such a wonderful hostel.

Amazing spaces VERY well thought/designed, one of the best if not the best hostel I've ever been, and I've been around... every bed has a big lockable drawer half the size of a bed, lovely staff, secure and safe place, curtains on every bed, electronic bracelet keys for entering the facilities, the room and the lockers.
