I booked a dorm room for one night as a get away in San Sebastian after a Bilbao business trip. While the location is a bit far out from the actual city centre, it is in fact very close to the surfer's beach. Olga was very welcoming and I lucked out in that due to a booking error, I was... More

We made a stop here during an interrailing holiday in july. It was a brillant hostel, lots of craic, everyone is really friendly. The rooms/bathrooms are clean..... Olga is a lovely woman who would go out of her way to help you. It was our favourite hostel of the trip!

Not sure if it was Olga's or not but I fell in love with San Sebastian. It was one of those Hostels where everything just felt right. The staff was friendly and the other tourists were just as friendly. It has an amazing location right near the main beach and stones throw to countless great tapas joints. When I say... More

It's a hostel... and so with it comes all things hostel. In my experience, whether you love or hate a hostel comes down to only a few things; safety, cleanliness, basic service, and the people who are staying there at the time. The hostel really only has control of the first 3. Olga's was clean, the rooms and beds were... More

We were arriving in town during the film festival so all the other places in our preferred budget range (hotels/pensions etc) were booked out. Given the positive feedback & availability, we went with Olga's. It's a good location, not far from Zurriola Beach & a walking distance into the old part of the city and La Concha (it's all flat)....

The most annoying thing about this hostel was the constant idiotic squealing of the other guests at all hours- night and day. Not only did management tolerate this, they seemed to actively encourage it, by also sitting up drinking and listening to music until 1am (despite their signs saying ´´please respect other guests by being quiet after 11pm´´). We put... More

I´m not sure where all the glowing reviews are coming from, but Olga´s was far from great in any way. While the actual bed was fine, most everything else was average or below. There was no heat in the room, the lighting throughout is dingy, a couple of the showers are non-functional and one of the computers has more viruses... More

Don't get me wrong Olgas was spotlessly clean but..........the security staff are an absolute disgrace there. There are two big men - who we were never introduced to on arrival - who go around in Secuity t-shirts banging on your door if you so much as cough past 11 o'clock. I understand that you must keep the noise levels to... More
