Nice place, friendly people, super comfortable. Locker under the bed was super handy and of a great size. Great place all together

Wmouse Spain

Hard to believe how cool, clean, comfortable and cheap it is with such a great location! Perfect for solo travelers or people that want to go surfing in San Sebastián. The owners and they staff were super nice too!!

Gonzalo Spain

The staff was very nice and very helpful. The location is awesome! Very close to the beach

Amanda United States of America

Staff was excellent with a positive attitude, Vibes were very relaxing, Beds were comfortable. If surfing is important to you the location can’t be beat.

Patrick United States of America

The location of this hostel is walking distance from the beach, one block away from restaurants/bars. I met some amazing people during my first class of surfing ever.

Alexey United States of America

The overall feeling of the hostel, as one may expect from a surfer's place, is relaxed. Everybody cool, hanging out, talking here and there. The staff was pretty cool! Got wonderful recommendations about things to do and see as soon as I got there, including even cultural activities/spots, restaurants, special foods to try, possible walks and trekking... Also they organize movie nights, surfing classes... I really liked the location. Is slightly off casco viejo, but you're there in a heartbeat (like 8-10 min walk), and just 2 min away from the great ocean views :) Beds were comfy, bathrooms ok. Didn't try the breakfast. I would recommend it.

Mariana Portugal

Favorite hostel! The cozy atmosphere makes for an exceptional home away from home experience and facilitates easy socializing. I booked 3 nights originally and stayed 10. It was difficult to leave even then. Location was great and staff was super friendly and helpful. Can’t say enough positive things about this place! A must stay!

Danielle United States of America

Biggest legends as staff, the vibes are epic and the location is so good! 3 min walking to the beach and 10 to the old town. Everything works, all clean and they’re super helpful about everything you need! Surf, forecast, indications, etc. Thanks heaps David, Aritz, Diego and Ethiene!

Abraham Chile

What makes this hostel special is the culture that it fosters, bringing in a specific kind of person. Everyone you meet is really laid back and friendly, a great place to make friends when solo traveling. Also take advantage of free skateboard rentals.

Marcus United States of America

The location was great , rooms were better than I expected .. the staff is super helpful. They wrote down everything we should do for our stay and their suggestions were spot on!
