Well located property for the beach and town and was quiet. Rooms were clean and fresh. Beds were very comfortable and the en-suite shower immaculate. There was a fully equipped gym on site with sauna. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

The room was very clean and comfortable enough. The walls however, are very thin so all sounds from other rooms and the corridor were very audible at all times.

Low standard
Really low standard for the price we paid. Very simple. Not hotel standard. No air conditioner or any other way to cool down the room. Far from the senter, but near the beach. The room was clean.

Sehr freundliches Personal einer der besten und Preis Leistung besten Hostels in ganz San Sébastian. Mein Kumpel und ich hatten beide ein Riesen Zimmer mit zwei Queen Size Betten und ein modernes Bad mit Regenwalddusche. Frühstück kann ich empfehlen ist aber ein bisschen Überteuert. Das Gym ist super ausgestattet und ein Laundry Raum befindet sich auch im Gebäude würde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.
