This was a fantastic hostel. I stayed in the 8 bed room and my bed area felt very private. Every one gets a huge locked drawer, which fit both my suitcase and backpack comfortably. I never had to worry that my stuff wasn’t secure while I was out of the room. The property was super clean. The hostel hosts a bar crawl on Thursday nights, led by the staff. I really enjoyed this to get to know other travelers. The location, two blocks from the beach, was perfect. I would definitely stay here again.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Rooms were large and so much room in the lockers. So clean, and very helpful staff. Close to the beach.

공용 샤워장 청소 및 정리정돈이 잘 되지않아 투숙객들이 걸어놓은 수건들이 부스에걸려있음. 공용시설 청소등의 개선이 필요해 보임.

Ich hatte hier einen super Aufenthalt! Das Personal, besonders die zwei Besitzer Aritz und David sind super freundlich. Die Entfernung zum Strand ist für Surfer einzigartig (1-2 min.)

Prisvärt hostel med hjälpsam personal

Är väldigt nöjd med allt. Trevlig personal. Bra ytor inne på hostelet. Mycket trevlig bar där det en av dagarna var live musik.

Great facilities, caring owners

The hostel is new and very nicely designed in a good area, 1 block from Zurriola surf beach and under 10 min walk to the old town. Bare essentials kitchen and good wifi everywhere. There is a bar/cafe downstairs and the actual dorms are right next door in a residential apartment so you need to be peaceful in there. The owners David and Haritz are two of the nicest, hospitable guys you'll ever meet who will make your stay a memorable one. Also try the salmon toastie!
