Low standard

Really low standard for the price we paid. Very simple. Not hotel standard. No air conditioner or any other way to cool down the room. Far from the senter, but near the beach. The room was clean.

Sehr freundliches Personal einer der besten und Preis Leistung besten Hostels in ganz San Sébastian. Mein Kumpel und ich hatten beide ein Riesen Zimmer mit zwei Queen Size Betten und ein modernes Bad mit Regenwalddusche. Frühstück kann ich empfehlen ist aber ein bisschen Überteuert. Das Gym ist super ausgestattet und ein Laundry Raum befindet sich auch im Gebäude würde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.
