    The value for money at Surfing Etxea - Surf was unbeatable, with spacious and comfortable rooms that even had balconies. The location was perfect, just a few minutes' walk from the beach, bars, and restaurants.

    The food for breakfast could have been better with more variety.

    The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and accommodate our needs. They even allowed us to use the showers after the check, out time, which was a great help after our race. the rooms, showers, and living areas were clean and spacious. the hostel's central location made it convenient to explore the city and enjoy the nightlife in the old town. the staff's friendliness, helpfulness, and flexibility made our experience exceptional. We highly recommend Surfing Etxea , Surf and can't wait to come back!

    The rooms were well-equipped with bed lights, charging stations, and large lockers. The staff was friendly and created a good atmosphere. The hostel had storage for surfboards and wetsuits, and was a short walk from the beach. The bar had a great selection of drinks and food.

    Not obvious to find.

    The location of the hostel is perfect, just a short 5-minute walk to the beach and close to all the attractions. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms. the staff is friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for food and activities. the hostel also has a nice vibe, making it easy to meet new people and make friends.

    The lack of curtains at the bunks does limit the privacy of the guests.

    We had an amazing time at Surfing Etxea , Surf! the hostel was clean and well, maintained, with daily cleaning ensuring a tidy environment. the social atmosphere was fantastic, and we made so many friends during our stay. the layout of the hostel was great, as it encouraged interaction between guests, except when we were in our beds. the location was perfect, especially for surfers like us, with easy access to the beach. While alcohol wasn't allowed in the hostel, there was a bar downstairs owned by the hostel, providing a convenient alternative. we highly recommend Surfing Etxea , Surf to those who love a lively atmosphere, surfing, and meeting new people!

    Nothing at all! 👍.

    I recently stayed at Surfing Etxea in San Sebastian for a week-long surf trip. The hostel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. First of all, the location is unbeatable, just a few meters from the beautiful La Zurriola beach. The hostel has a relaxed and friendly vibe, and I instantly made friends with fellow travelers. The beds were comfortable, and the wifi worked perfectly. The hostel was always clean and spacious, with a nice terrace to relax on. One of the best features was the lockable storage drawer in the dorm room, which allowed me to keep all my belongings organized and secure. Surfing Etxea is the perfect place for surfers, solo travelers, and groups of friends.

    Would definitely recommend this hostel.
