Clean, good location, friendly staff, and pretty decent breakfast (bread, cereals, butter/jam, juice, ham, spanish omelette, coffee/tea, cookies..). Stayed in a family room with kids and the beds were comfy, we had a private bathroom/shower, and didn't hear any noises at night.

I loved my stay there. The staff were super helpful and the location was great. The only thing missing was in house laundry but there was a laundromat 3 min walk away but just a bit expensive. I'd defo will stay there again.

Just great.
Fab hostel.
Great staff.
Free tea & coffee....real bonus. My 4☆ hotel in Biarritz didn't offer this.
Near beach.
Much quieter than the old town, to sleep at night.

Best Hostel Kitchen
This was one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the aircon was great, our room had two sinks and a separate shower and toilet. The window out to the terrace was great for natural light. My big suitcase fit inside the locker or under the bed. Lots of hooks to hang your towels and the beds had an outlet, light and shelf! The kitchen was way beyond my expectations as it had multiple pots, pans, cutting boards, utensils, cups etc. it was extremely well organized with cubbies labeled with room numbers and plenty of space in the fridge (also well organized because they provided labels and pens) 10/10 recommend

I have stayed at Koba Hostel before, and it offers great value for money. Although I stayed in the same dormitory room this time, the shower light was pitch black—likely because the sensor was broken—so it was inconvenient having to open the door and activate the sensor outside. Also, I was bothered all night by the sound of a baby crying from the guest room next door. Other than that, the staff and breakfast were all good.

We are three woman traveling around Spain. We stayed in our own room with our own bathroom. The stay was excellent. The breakfast had lots of variety and filled us up. The only critique would be the toilet paper was not good.

Had an amazing stay! The property was easy to get to from the bus station and in a very safe, busy area. The staff are all lovely and work hard to keep the whole place spotless at all times. The rooms are immaculate and spacious. The breakfast is good and kitchen is useful and again, spotless
