Nice place to stay, owners were very nice though one spoke very little English which made it difficult on occasions. Would recommend it!

Loved this little place. Olga and raffa, the owners, are lovely people and I would stay again just to visit them. The rooms are very spacious and there is a huge kitchen for cooking. This hostel was like a little family, I got to know everyone there and I had a great time. I would recommend it.

It was my first time in San Sebastian. Not sure how much I should expect from $56 per night for private room with shared bathroom. But I guess there were better choices...Location wise, it takes at least 15-20min to reach the old town, not as close as it was declared. Facility-wise, it is really a youth hostel. Extremely simple. Guess young travelers or teenagers would like it. But not for me, considering the price is not really cheap. Shortly, I wouldn't recommend it to solo travelers.

This hostel had a very open and welcoming feel to it. The staff helped with finding parking, recommendations for restaurants, and stored our bags after we had checked out for a day. This is a good hostel to meet other people who are travelling through the area.

Very clean place run by a nice couple - Russian lady and her Spanish husband who speaks only a little English. Spacious, very close to the beach, big kitchen and warm hospitality. Husband likes to watch TV and sleep in what is the living room, which can be odd at times. otherwise, a great place.

True, in the first moment one might be disturbed by the fact that it is actually a flat and that Olga's husband spends every night in the Hostel. But, the location is perfect (beach, city, pintxo bote, breakfast). BEds + furniture are quiet old, but clean! It created a very intimate atmosphere. I had a good time!

I really like this place. This is an apartment. A little bit small but the staff (Olga & Rafael) was very friendly. There are not many rooms so the owner can remember all the guest and introduces them to each others. This make you know other people when you stay here.

We stayed four nights at Olga's Place and loved it! While the place was slightly different to your average large hostel with only five rooms and two showers and toilets, it still worked. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean, though the kitchen could do with a clean and update. The place felt like a large apartment. There was a small communal area with a tv, but everyone hung out in the kitchen,. Overall review- great place!! Would recommend!

We would highly recommend Olga's place. We spent the previous night in a chain motel, that was awful! It was very refreshing to find this hostel. It was very clean & hospitable. The beds ib the room we had were very comfortable, better than the two star we stayed in the following night. The location was only a short walk to old town, which makes it an extra plus.

The hostel was in a good position, but it was very dark, and just an apartment. But you get what you pay for.
