UBA Hostel, hotel in Donostia-San Sebastián

The service totally fulfilled my expectations. Nice staff, clean rooms, possibility to eat in the hostel. The hostel is a bit far from the city itself but immersed in the green and with a nice view! If any bikepacker is reading, they allow to park the bike inside in a dedicated room

    This is the best hostel I have ever stayed at. The staff were incredibly friendly. Nacho was especially awesome on the kayaking trip and gave me lots of great recommendations of things to see and do during my stay in San Sebastian. The beds were comfortable and the shared areas were awesome. The free breakfast was also great. Such a wonderful hostel.

    Jon was the perfect host! He was so accommodating and welcoming, helping us with anything we needed including recommendations, booking restaurants and booking taxis. The apartment was amazing, it has a great location (one street away from the old town), feels very safe and is fully equipped with all the amenities you could need. We had an amazing stay here.

    Hostel dormitory setup is great, very safe place, good internet, great shower. Kind people at the desk. Location, even having to walk a little bit to the main beach is really not that far. If you want to go to the center takes a little more but anyway, you are there to know the place, walking is a good option.

    Amazing spaces VERY well thought/designed, one of the best if not the best hostel I've ever been, and I've been around... every bed has a big lockable drawer half the size of a bed, lovely staff, secure and safe place, curtains on every bed, electronic bracelet keys for entering the facilities, the room and the lockers.
