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.

Except it's a little far to walk from the old town.
It's perfect.
Bus stops and train stations are right nearby.
There is no female-only dormitory.
The toilet and bath are also mixed.

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.

This was the worst hostel experience I've had so far. We stayed for 3 nights in a 5-bed room and all the top beds were shaky and unsafe to use. I took videos and it is scary. We notified the staff at the reception and she just waved it off with "No pasa nada" and left mid conversation. There was also fungus on the ceiling in the bathroom
