Very friendly staff, good location, try to avoid the rooms next to the streets if you want to sleep early during the weekends.

If we would have had a room with the view to that narrow street below the hotel, it would have been different feeling, but now when we opened our window, it looked like carbage place. Staff was very nice, the girl even knew some words for finnish:) Still, biggest wondering around this hostel was that there were no signs of this hostel, even on it´s door. We knew the street´s number where it was, but no signs, no hostel name in the doorbell, nothing that would say the hostel was there. Until we finally got in, there was a sign in the stairs that hostel is upstars.

It was clean, and the mattresses were comfortable, so those were things I liked. Only annoying thing was that when my friend and I arrived, he tried to make us share a double bed. There was another bed free in the room that we asked if one of us could have but he said no... so he got an extra mattress for us. Of course, that night, no one took the free bed! So the next night, we went ahead and took it. Moral of the story- take the free bed! lol Other than the crazy bed mix up... eh, not too bad a place, at least the company was nice, but I'll say that I've stayed in better-organized hostels (for cheaper, too)....

the location is great, but they should tell when the town biggest feast takes place right under their windows, especially when we've been driving 500kms and had another 600kms to drive on the next morning. we woke up more tired than we got to bed. except for that the staff was very helpful.

The most positive thing of this hostel is its location, in the middle of the old centre. If you don't like to drink till late it could be a little noisy till deep in the night because it is located near lots of pubs. Negative thing about this hostel is the sanitary. You have to share this with too many other guests.

Its in a great location and the staff are so friendly. There is only 1 bathroom/toilet on each floor in the same room so theres always a big queue. They never seemed to get cleaned properly either. No lockers in bedrooms, only small safes and there werent enough of those for the amount of ppl in our room. We met some great ppl there, all in all we had a really good stay.

IF you are interested in partying and fun this is the place to be. It is on the main road for hostel bars. If you are interested in quiet this is not. It is a 100+ bed hostel with 5? floors and one toilet and shower on each floor.

I liked the location, the centre of the Old Town, the best street to go out according to San Sebastian guides.

Great Spot!!!!! I was very impressed with this hostel-- I would go back to San Sebastian just to stay there! I want to live there...... The access to surfing lessons and equipment through the hostel have been great and the local knowledge of the area and restaurants have made our time here unforgetable....... Would highly recommend this hostel. One of the best staff I\'ve ever met around the world. Thanks for all

Very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The entrance is a little confusing due to lack of a sign or anything, and I was a little sketched out at first, by the dark hallway and unmarked door, but all in all, great hostel.
