    The was not soundproofing at all. You can here the conversations from the next room, the elevator , and generally everything outside the room.

    The place is value for money. Even though it is small , it was very clean and a few steps from la concha beach. The receptionist was willing to give you advices and proposes for places to visit, and next to the reception were fruits and pastries to offer to the visitors free of charge.

    Could be a little bit noisy at times. But that in no way spoiled our stay.

    Very clean, tidy and warm. Host was extremely friendly and helpful, Mikel couldn’t do enough to make us feel at home. Free coffee and breakfast snacks were a bonus too.

    Only issue I had is the wall is too thin. You can hear everything. Even when the next room switches off their lights. The noise does quite down after awhile.

    This hotel is in an apartments block. The hotel is an apartment divided into room. I stayed in a single room, which is ok for 1 person. It had everything needed, even a coffee machine!. The room is clean!. The main area had coffee coffee pods, tea, snacks and fruits which is a really nice touch. Location is fabulous. Only across the road from the beach and 10mins into the old town and the bus station to San Sebastián airport. Mikel was really helpful and informative.

    I booked a single room with private bathroom, room was small.

    The location of this property was excellent, a couple of 100 metres to the beach, within easy walking distance of the new town and about a 10 to 15 minutes to the old town. The staff were excellent and greeted me on arrival, provided me with a map, pointing out places of interest. Free tea, coffee and hot chocolate, plus fresh fruit, lollies and cakes for breakfast. The staff text your prior to arrival providing you with a phone number in case you need anything. I texted the number prior to my departure and requested they book me a taxi for early the next morning. They made the booking and confirmed it with me. The staff are polite, friendly and efficient.

    Regardless of what some old reviews say, this place is simply perfect. Good level of cleanliness, great amenities (a Nespresso machine on your room, and unlimited coffee and croissants!)… and the location is the best it could be. Don’t think it twice and book now, you won’t regret it!

    The room was smelling a bit enclosed and musty.

    Location is perfect right next to La Concha beach - I found a couple of cafés nearby, with good food options, whether you are going for local or vegan/vegetarian .. There is also a supermarket nearby. In the reception you can take coffee, chocolate, tea, fruit and small cakes for free. The area is very quiet. The room is kept very clean.

    It was a great stay. But my room had a small shower. I couldn’t really fit in it.

    The host was absolutely incredible. He gave great recommendations for the city, booked taxis for me, helped with washing and always had free coffee/pastries available.

    The hostal is on upper floors. There is a lift but it was unfortunately not working on my visit. It is 53 steps up. Michael kindly took my case up for me.

    Great location. Practically opposite the beach ⛱️. Room was compact , clean and comfy. Coffee maker in room and free coffees and snacks. Staff were great. 15 min walk from Donastia bus station or you can get a bus from there with a 1 min walk to hostal.

    Unfortunately the building entry foyer is depressing and smells of damp.

    Gréât location! Step out of the front door, cross the street and you can see the beach just a couple of minutes walk away. Well serviced by local buses. Lovely staff - thank you Victoria and Mikel for excellent service and help with printing boarding passes and ordering taxis. Free snacks abd fruit provided - nice touch. Little coffee machine in the room.

    The room had an inner courtyard window, so the room smelled damp and of cigarettes from all the neighbors above. The duvet smelled bad from underneath the sheets, asked the cleaning person to change it, there was miscommunication so it was not done (they changed another piece of bedding), and when I asked them again they got /aggressive/ and tried to make it seem that it was done already and I was being difficult. It's ok to get confused or forget the first time, just do it right when asked again and don't gaslight the guest. After insisting the duvet was changed, but would have appreciated it with less bad attitude.

    Free snacks and warm drinks, well located

    The entrance and hallway is very old and smelled questionable. Inside was lovely and clean though! Teeny little elevator (but there was one)!

    The location was fabulous - very close to the ocean and the promenade. Staff were very helpful. Parking was closeby and easy to find. Trays of little cakes, croissants, and fresh fruit were very welcome.

    I recommend you bring earplugs because walls are thin and you will hear all the talkings of other guests.

    Very good location, near Concha beach. Very tiny room but it has everything, even a hairdryer and coffee and tea maker.
