Summary of traveller reviews

A Room In The City Hostel in San Sebastian boasts an unbeatable location, just moments from the beach and city centre. Guests frequently praise the comfortable beds with privacy curtains and the modern, clean facilities. However, some recent reviews mention rooms can get very hot, and noise from a nearby bar can be disruptive at night.

Best hostel I have stayed in by far. Such lovely staff, safe atmosphere and super cool building! Very impressed. Would highly recommend. Very central position. 8 minute walk from transport hub. 2 minutes to the beach and a few more into the old town.

Their system was hacked and I lost money and personal information due to a very targeted phishing scheme. I contacted their management but did not take accountability in the situation. I would not recommend staying here if you don’t want your personal information leaked to hackers. This can quickly ruin your trip. I had to block all my bank accounts because of the situation

Hot with no AC. Just some broken fans in the room. Beds creaked super loud. Not a social hostel at all, no events, no good hang out space. Bathrooms were disgusting between cleans.
