Huge place. You can find space for everything you need: kitchen, work space, chill area, etc.
The price I paid per night was much higher than other people in the room, almost double, although I booked much more in advance.

There is a very nice local bar in the hostel area. Every day, it is packed with a wonderful vibe. The installations are very modern, we can use the kitchen, we can use the lounge for 24 hours (unlike the Safestay in London which I do not recommend), the staffs are like family and they are really committed to promoting the beauty and the fantastic ambience of San Sebastian, what a wonderful place!). I am very grateful to let people work with their computers and also using the kitchen, something that every decent hostel should do. In this matter, San Sebastian is much better than London!
There is nothing that I can say that I dislike, I wish I could spend more time. The hostel is excellent, the facilities are fabulous. I totally recommend any traveler to stay there.

12 bed dorm was spacious. Had lockers under bunks (use your security bracelet for access). Individual bunk had privacy curtain, light and power plug. Solid bunk construction so it does move when the person above or below moves. Comfy bed and pillow. Linen was clean. Bunkroom was really quiet when the on-site bar was closed after about midnight. Easy to find and only 10min walk from ALSA bus station. Seemed really safe. They give you a waterproof bracelet that gets you into your locker, the bunkroom, and on-site after hours. Great location. Convenient if doing the Camino Del Norte (easy walk to train station to take train to Irun). Reception was open 24/7. Correos pick up from here if you need camino luggage transfer. Has a number of female showers so no queue.Hot showers (were on a timer, but just push button again- no problem). Basic kitchen with fridge and microwave. Whole place was clean including bunkroom, bathrooms and kitchen.
Bunkroom really noisy when on-site bar is open (seems to close about midnight)-people yelling and shouting (I stayed Friday and Saturday nights), but once it closed the bunkroom was super quiet.

Comfortable bed, clean room. The beds have curtains for privacy. The bathrooms were good and a good strong shower with hot water at all times. Great value for money, short 3 min walk to the beach and very close to the beautiful old town
There could be more hooks for jackets/towels. I hung up my towel on the first day and the cleaners took it and I had to pay for another one at the desk, was a little annoying but not a big deal.

The hotel has such as good vibes, amazing common areas to chill out and relax, read a book or met new friends. The room and the bathrooms were very clean and also has a nice kitchen with refrigerator where you can have your food. The staff were very nice, they save my luggage after doing the check out. I really enjoyed this place!! Don’t think twice!!!
You need to do check in in Manterola street and if your room is in Easo Kalea you need to walk to there after doing check-in (is only 20m) but if you have extra luggage as me can be a little uncomfortable, by the way, the staff were very nice helping me with my luggage until my room!

Great facilities, spotlessly clean, lots of privacy with curtains on the beds. Very helpful, friendly staff. Perfect location, close to the beach and the old town. I had one night in a dorm and 1 night in a private room. The dorm was very quiet, the other travellers were very respectful. The private room was on the other side of the building. Unfortunately, guests here were not as considerate, lots of noise in the hall and door banging until the early hours. But this was on a Friday night, so maybe to be expected. All in all, fantastic price for good accommodation in the city centre.

Lovely outdoor terrace and large roof terrace. The beds were very well organised and user friendly (had 3 hooks, curtains, usb and plug charging and two different shaped shelf options!), as well as being pretty comfy! Staff were super friendly and loads of different spaces to relax. Bathrooms were also very nice
The lack of any hobs in the kitchen! Even a small induction one would've been better than nothing! Also fridge got pretty crowded as the hostel filled up over the weekend.

We booked a double room (bunk beds) and it was a very nice stay considering how much we paid. Employees were very helpful and there are plenty of recommendations in the hostel for plans in the city. Also we liked that there was a bar in the hostel.
Shower heads didn’t look very clean, I think this could be improved. The double entrance, where private rooms have to enter through another door of the building and when you need something from reception you have to go out the street and enter through a different street.

I had a great stay! They thought of all the small details, like having hooks for your stuff when you shower and the bed had a light, outlet, shelf, and hooks for your stuff. There's also the lounge and roof top space where you can hang out.
This is more because of annoying and inconsiderate guests that share the dorm room with others and don't close the door quietly. So if possible, implement something so the doors shut lightly, rather than slamming shut every time someone is inconsiderate.

I really enjoyed staying in A Room In The City Hostel in San Sebastian. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When I felt unwell, the girls from the staff helped me and let me stay in the room for a while longer. The hostel is clean and pleasant. There are common areas, a kitchen where you can heat up your food (there is a microwave and a toaster), and a roof terrace. The location is the best - very close to the beach, to the old town, and at the same time quiet and not too crowded.
The hostel does not organise communal activities for the guests, such as board games, movie nights, or free tours. Such events foster integration in the hostel, so it would be nice if the hostel introduced such activities in the future.
