Reviews of Downtown River Hostel

The hostel’s location in right in the center. Just a few minutes away from the bus and train station.

Perfect hostel right in the heart of San Sebastián, everything is within walking distance. The place is spotlessly clean, and the staff are incredibly warm and helpful. Great pick for solo pilgrims on the Camino del Norte!

A good spot near the train station It's quite cramped and the reception is minimal Practical but simple

Excelente ubicación, personal muy servicial y buenas instalaciones

Hostel is very small but decent! Rooms are clean, beds aren't the most comfy but are ok, bathrooms are clean showers are good always had hot water, Kitchen is good but needs new frying pans with handles and utensils! Wifi is OK not the best unless your on it at 2am when every 1 is asleep or out. Air con is great!! Personally what is is really lacking is a chill out/ common room, But there is no room for it so it can't be achieved! Would stay here again if I return!

My and my friend stayed there for one night and it was fantastic! The staff speak fluently English and they are helpful. The kitchen is spatious with all the utilities you might need to cook - big refrigerator, stove, cutlery and plates... The dorms are nice, spatious, provided with lockers. Only thing: the top bunk doesn't have curtains, but didn't really matter to me (there was dark even in the morning due to the shutters). One thing we really appreciate is having free maps and events printed out on the main pinboard and as well we could use all the facilities and a locker room even after we did the checkout. Big bathrooms that are very clean. Wonderful stay and extremely central position (10min from the center walking, 10min from the station Amara).

The friendly and very helpful staff made sure that my bike was safe at night. They are very well organized in the rooms with a locker and a hook next to the bed, 2 plugs at each bed. The kitchen is amazing, fully equipped with stove and oven and a big table where the guests can easily meet up. it seems to be important that it is tidy and the trash is recycled! The location is great almost next to the center of the old town and also not far from the beach I would go there again

Very nice atmosphere in the hostel, we had a great time with my friends, it is a very clean hostel, the beds have curtains and gives a lot of privacy. It is centrally located so it is close to everything and that makes it very comfortable, they also rent surfboards and are very professional.

Good service from the staff, professional. Super well located, centrally located, close to the bay, the beach and old part so very easy to move around the city and still be close to the accommodation. Agustin helped us very kindly to translate everything we needed. Everything clean as it should be. I would come back.

I stayed two nights in a six-bed dorm on the lower floor. Our lockers were in the hallway, not inside the room like in the upstairs dorms. This made it a bit inconvenient to get clothes or anything else out of your suitcase, as there wasn't a designated place to leave your things or change. On this floor, there were only two toilets, two showers, and one sink, so space was limited when washing up in the bathroom. There was also nowhere to put your toiletries. The dorm room was much the same: just bunk beds and not even a shelf to put anything on. On the other hand, I was grateful to be on this floor because upstairs there was a strong smell of cooking from the people who were cooking there. The kitchen is right in the middle of the other rooms and doesn't have a single window for ventilation. As for cleanliness, I didn't see anyone cleaning at any point, and the toilets were dirty. The sheets are quite worn and could be replaced; they're rough and pilled. I think it's expensive for what it offers, as it cost me €58 for two nights, which is almost the price of a hotel if you find a deal. The only good thing is the location, as you can walk to everything interesting and the train station is just across the river. I won't be back.

L'accueil était correct mais les conditions d'hébergement peu agréable en sous sol à 8 dans une chambre exigue avec un vasistas comme seule ouverture avec pour seul rangement un tirroir sous le lit où il était difficile de ranger un sac à dos.

Pase una noche en este hostal y me gustó mucho. Las instalaciones no eran de lujo pero no las buscaba. Tuve la sensacion de ir a un tipo de campamento donde conoci gente fantastica gracias a los empleados de alli donde realizan eventos para que los huespedes convivan y se conozcan. Ademas te informan de cuanto necesites y te proponen actividades de todo tipo. Lo he pasado muy bien La habitacion donde estuve tenia 8 camas y era mixta. Los colchones eran de espuma, por lo que acabo siendo algo incomodo. Eran literas de 2 y en el pasillo teniamos una taquilla asignada a cada cama. En ambos pisos habia varios lavabos y duchas comunitarios. La valoracion general es positiva.

Die Lage der Herberge ist hervorragend, 10/10, ganz in der Nähe des Busbahnhofs, der Altstadt und der Concha-Bucht, die ein wunderschönes Juwel ist. Das Personal ist aufmerksam und die Einrichtungen sind sauber. Ich habe andere sehr freundliche Pilger getroffen. Ich empfehle.
