    Small, very well located hostel, with variety of budget accommodation from double bedroom to single bed room, twin bunkbeds. We chose this hostel as we wanted to be very close to the beachfront, and night bars and tapas restaurants. The receptionist was very helpful with info on bus transport from Biarritz. It's a budget hotel, with no frills but exactly what we wanted.

    The room was tiny. Including the bathroom, it was smaller than my dorm room in college. There was no ventilation at all. Not in the bathroom even. Ventilation came from opening the window into a small industrial shaft through the center of the building, which was lit and loud, so getting air comfortably while sleeping was impossible. Then there was a pulsing light directly above the bed which could not be shut off, and so pulsed light on me all night.

    The host was excellent. Friendly, informative, and timely. The location was also excellent. Very close to the beach and restaurants. There were adequate outlets in the room.

    The rooms condensed but if you ask, they will leave you a dehumidifier that solved the small inconvenience for us.

    It has an excellent location a few steps from the Kontxa beach. The rooms are very practical. The facilities are very clean. Mikel and Helena are very attentive and provided us with all the help we needed. Thanks to them we have had a great stay!

    There wasn't anything we didn't like. If you like the beach but don't want to pay for beach view prices, this hotel is for you. 2mins walk you can be in the sea.

    · Great location for the beach, and a short walk to the Old Town. Could not have asked for anything better for the price paid, it exceeded our expectations. Complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and snacks, including cakes and fruit. Really nice and clean room. Fast Wi Fi. Staff are lovely, and went out their way to help us make the most of the city. They even helped us when our bus to Bordeux got cancelled. So welcoming and kind. Will be booking again!

    Shower so small I couldn't wash my legs. Room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke.

    Great location, just ten minutes walk from the old town and three minutes from the beach. Easy check in and check out, no hassle. Friendly staff and bed was pretty comfy.

    It was difficult to access the elevator from the ground level with bags, thorough a one floor staircase. It didn’t have a restaurant for breakfast. The rooms where standard, in an apartment floor, with one person receiving you at the door.

    The property was a short walk to the beach and close to the commercial/entertainment centre of town.

    Facilities were a bit tired . Cracked wash basin, some black mould. Being on the middle floor of a residential property, the noise from above, and below was intrusive.

    My room was very small, and its only window was facing a lightwell, which was equipped with water pipes - you could hear the sound of toilets flushing. Since the sound insulation was not very good, there was not a single night where i could sleep through. The rooms facing the lightwell are so near to each other that a light sleeper immidiately wakes up if somebody turns on the light in the other room. I know that one could not expect a grand hotel for this price, but i think even in this price range there are better alternatives.

    The location is really close to the beach but yet reachable from the train station and the person working at reception was helpful within reason. You could take fresh fruits at the reception. The price is low for San Sebastian circumstances.

    Thin walls, dark and moldy

    The walls are too thin. I heard my neighbor snoring and every word they were saying. This was really annoying. The building has a problem with humidity. When you enter from the street you can immediately smell the moldiness. The room was dark, it's only window lead to a dark, smelly and filthy areaway. The room itself was clean, especially the bathroom, the sheets and the floor. Some other unusual spots in the room could use a little dusting (e.g. lamp above the bed). The shower was very small, I'm slim but hardly managed to scrub every part of my body. The tiles and gaps have seen better days as well. They should be renewed, especially the gaps have had some black spots. The shelf above the sink was askew, so you couldn't put anything on it. It would have slid into the sink. Given that I paid more than 200 euros for 3 nights for this single room (even though San Sebastian is an expensive place to stay), I would have expected more.

    Fresh sheets and towels every day. Free fruits and mini-croissants. A coffee machine in the room with 2 coffee pads a day.
