Summary of traveller reviews

Koba Hostel in San Sebastian is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and its fantastic location, just a short walk from the beach and city centre. Guests also highlight the great value, with a delicious breakfast included. Some mention that the hostel is more tranquil than social, and a few note that the showers could be more practical.

The hostel looked nicer in the online photos 😅 There wasn't a dedicated common area, so people mostly socialized in the kitchen. The vibe was okay, though it definitely draws an older crowd rather than typical younger backpackers. Each room has a separate bathroom, but the showers are tiny 🚿 which was my least favorite part. Breakfast was basic, nothing special, but better than nothing. The location was probably the best part of my stay. Overall, I would rate this hostel a 6 out of 10.
