Hostels in San Sebastian

You can find a bed for as little as €16 at Balea Hostel, though most budget options sit between €18 and €38. On the higher end, design-led and private room stays go up to €360. The average price you pay will depend on location and season, but you can expect to stay in a well-rated dorm for around €25–€40.

If you want to be close to the beach and the Old Town, look at hostels like Koba Hostel or A Room In The City Hostel, which are within a short walk of both. For a quieter, more scenic stay with hilltop views, consider Albergue Ulia – you'll trade the crowds for a 360-degree bay panorama and easy access to walking trails.

Plenty are central: A Room In The City Hostel, Downtown River Hostel, and Colo Colo are all within walking distance of the beach and Old Town. However, some like Balea Hostel and Ulia Youth Hostel are located on the outskirts, which means you'll rely on buses or a car – though Balea has a bus stop right at the door and Ulia offers free parking.

Yes – Cats Hostel San Sebastian offers private rooms alongside its dorms, with free breakfast included. A Room In The City Hostel also has capsule beds for a more private feel. These options give you social benefits without the dorm-style sharing.
