Located in El Antiguo, this hostel is very close to Ondarreta Beach and Mount Igeldo. It's a quiet residential area where you can enjoy a great night's sleep. You can expect a long walk to the Old Town, which is where the best bars and restaurants are, but you do get to walk along the beach so it's relatively pleasant.

Nearby Transportation

Plan on a ten minute uphill walk from the bus stop when you arrive. If you're flying in, you can take the E21 bus to the city center, then catch bus 5, 33, or 3 at Avenida Libertad to Avenida Zumalakarregi. It's a bit of a trek, but well worth it.
