"Stayed here with my husband and teenage daughter and was really pleasantly surprised. We booked a private room for 3 with our own private bathroom. It was very clean and the hostel itself is quite cool. Unfortunately we booked at the weekend of the Aste Nagusia festival and our room overlooked a square with a concert going on till 1 am. We were advised in advance but not at the time of booking so it was noisy. Nevertheless this is a great spot, very convenient location. We didn't have breakfast here as there's a wealth of great food places nearby"

"The staff was very warm and friendly and spoke good English. Without my asking, they gave me a little booklet on a special festival happening that weekend, and when and where the events were happening including fireworks. I did not have a chance to have breakfast there due to early plane flight, but they offered to prepare a breakfast early the next morning for me--which was thoughtful. The room was clean and comfortable, with good lighting for reading."
