The set up of the pods & the facilities are excellent. The pods are very comfortable & everyone was very courteous about noise. There is a drawer under your bed & a locker downstairs for your gear. The common room is well equipped with a coffee machine, fridge, microwave. Everything was clean & well organised

The casitas give all the privacy of a private room without the expense. The hostel is central and an easy walk from Donostia Amara and sights.

Fetid, stale air

There are things I liked: staff was pleasant and helpful, showers and toilets were good, (though showers didn’t drain well) but the biggest negative point was the stinky, fetid stale air in the casitas caused by 50 people breathing, snoring, coughing ( one person sounded like they had pneumonia….),etc. room had an odor of a bad hangover with some cigarette residue thrown in..they need industrial ventilation to deal with so many people sleeping in one area. A similar hostel I stayed at had person wall mounted fan in each berth, which helped a lot. Wouldn’t opt to stay here again.
Too many berths in one area

Gran opción para hostel en Donostia

Gran oportunidad en Donostia. Muy buena opción como hostel din privacidad. Excelente cocina, lockers, etc. en un lugar céntrico. Si reservan con hoteles.com asegúrense de contactar al hostel porque hoteles.com NO manda nada y con las claves se tiene acceso a todo.

La cama es muy cómoda y la idea de esta medianamente en una cápsula es íntimo para cuando se comparte con más gente. Tiene tablet para poder usarla para ver alguna serie o peli o hacer uso de ella. La ubicación es excelente y el personal muy agradable. Lo único que me disgustó fue el precio de 5 euros por una toalla cada día.

Hostel é bem pensado para que cada hospede tenha seu espaço, com camas grandes, lockers, lugar para pendurar toalhas etc. A localização também é bem prática, próxima a estação de trem e ônibus. Dá pra conhecer todos os pontos turísticos a pé.
