Highly recommend; excellent

Had an amazing stay! The property was easy to get to from the bus station and in a very safe, busy area. The staff are all lovely and work hard to keep the whole place spotless at all times. The rooms are immaculate and spacious. The breakfast is good and kitchen is useful and again, spotless

Modern, comfortable, clean

This hostel was sooo nice. Clean, modern. Everything looked brand new. Large common area with cute, cozy furniture. Free breakfast that was really good. Only complaint was the room was kinda cold. I stayed in early November and maybe they hadn’t turned the heat on yet? Room had a large window that probably made it a little drafty.

Fantastic Hostel in San Sebastian!

My husband and I were walking the Camino de Santiago from San Sebastian to Santiago. We stayed at Koba Hostel in a private room for three nights (it was the beginning of our honeymoon). There are dorm facilities as well. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Koba! The facility is wonderfully clean (I'd go so far as to say spotless); a New York City kind of vibe to the decor; a terrific common area with screen/films/comfy cushion multi-level seating; nice sized private room and bath; eco-friendly; good breakfast and kitchen facility; and personalized attention like I've never seen. Co-owner Aldietz went out of her way to be helpful during our stay. The location is central - a few blocks from the beach, close to bars and restaurants, but not noisy. Everyone behind the desk was helpful and multi-lingual. There is not a single negative to our 3-night stay. This was my first hostel experience, and it was beyond my expectations. If you're looking for a hostel in San Sebasitian, you can't do better than this! Bravo, Koba, bravo! We loved our stay, and we will be back!

Hôtel sympathique pour étape

Hôtel type auberge de jeunesse. Accueil parfait. Chambre bien. Douche un peu petite et dans le couloir pas pratique. Salle pour manger et cuisine à disposition très pratique. Espace fauteuils. Terrasse. Pas de parking privé. Et difficile de qe garer à proximité. Très bien pour une étape. Pas trop loin du centre ville.

Schönes Hostel, aber SEHR hellhörig! Wir haben durch die Wand (!!) im anderen Zimmer (!!!) einen Schnarcher gehabt, der uns nicht hat schlafen lassen. Da haben wir schon viel besser in großen Schlafsälen übernachtet! Auch hört man alle Türen zufallen, wenn Leute nachts oder auch früh morgens heimkommen - da hilft auch der Hinweis auf einem Aufsteller mit Bitte um Ruhe nichts. Personal würde helfen, das etwas länger anwesend st.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Meinung hinterlassen haben. Wir möchten, dass dies nachts ein ruhiges Hostel ist, aber es stimmt, dass es Tage gibt, an denen das Schnarchen und das Kommen und Gehen von Menschen die Ruhe der Nacht stören kann.Alles Gute

ホステルでこのクオリティなら最高

駅から徒歩20分弱。ホステル周囲にはおいしいバルも数軒あり、バル街へも徒歩15分程度で行けて立地はよかった。ホステル自体も清潔で部屋もトレイ、シャワーが別々になっていてよかった。ベッドルーム内に独立洗面台があったので、寝ているときに他人が使用すると少し音が気になった。部屋以外に共同のバスルームが1つあって、ドライヤーも備え付けてあるので、夜間シャワーを浴びるときに同室者に気を使わずに入れるのはよいと思った。シンプルな朝食が無料でついていて良かった。ホステルのスッタフはすごくフレンドリーで雰囲気がとてもよかった。またサンセバスチャンに行くなら是非泊まりたいと思えました。
