Balea Hostel

The bed was comfortable, but the storage space was not so good, and the kitchen was spacious. It took 30-40 minutes to walk from the center of town, but it was about 15 minutes to walk from Real Sociedad's home stadium, so it was a good location for watching a game that ended around midnight. The guests were on the older side. The staff were kind. There was a local bar about 10 minutes walk away, but there were not many shops around.

We stayed with my partner and his son who is a university student. The private room was for four but they assigned it to us and it was quite spacious and well maintained. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is generally calm. The parking is not private, you park in the spaces that are free right outside the hostel (when we arrived there were 2 empty ones. Right on the front sidewalk a bus passes that takes you to the center of San Sebastián and the transfer does not take more than 20 minutes. They have a common kitchen in case you want to prepare something or sit down to eat and a washing machine too.

Caro para lo que ofrece. Llegué de noche, pude acceder porque habia gente por alli y me encontré un posit con mi nombre y que cama tenia. La habitacion con ventiladores y un aire portatil que tuvimos que apagar porque salia aire caliente. Litera con una cortina de apenas un metro que no tapaba la cama. Los baños bastante bien.

Horrible Son flexibles en la entrada y te atienden muy amablemente. Contrariamente, no hay control a partir de las 20h. Los huéspedes gritan, cantan y ponen lavadoras. Los baños están bastante sucios. Las paredes de las literas tienen muchas manchas de roce. Respecto a la temperatura de la habitación era horrible y no tenía ventilación ninguna porque la ventana no se podía abrir totalmente. Para acabar, las sabanas tenían manchas y agujeros.
