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.

Solid all-round. We had some specific requests and the hostel were more than accomadating. Breakfast was good and in mind and my gf opinion, this side of San Sebastian was nicer for beers and some great pintxos also. I would recommend this hostel to backpackers!

Do not stay here. I stayed for 6 nights and got bed bugs, bites all over my body. The staff has done nothing about this and hasn’t responded to me. On top of this, I thought the beds were more private when I booked this they are not at all. I slept horrible here it was freezing cold, very loud. Shower is the kind you have to push button every 10 seconds to start. Breakfast was basically bread and cheese. Not very social, met a few people, families w kids and elders staying here, Odd.
