Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Outside the city centre — The hostel is a 25-minute walk from the Urumea river and Anoeta Stadium, so you'll need to rely on the nearby bus stop or a car to reach the main sights quickly.
  • Small rooms in some categories — A reviewer mentions that some rooms are small, though beds are comfortable. Dormitories are shared, so space is limited by design.
  • Potential noise disturbances — One guest had to change rooms at 3 am due to noise, suggesting that despite the peaceful location, internal noise can occasionally be an issue.

“We loved this modern hostel in a beautiful green area. It was spotlessly clean, the staff were incredibly friendly, and having a restaurant next door was a bonus. A supermarket and bus stop were close by, and Playa de la Concha was easy to reach. The communal area with a coffee machine was spacious, and the outside space was stunning.”
