UBA Hostel (San Sebastián, Spain)

Green Nest Hostel Uba Aterpetxea is fairly basic but really clean, with good amenities. There are cheap laundry facilities and a shared kitchen, where you can prepare your own meals. There is a nice little cafe/bar on site and a pleasant picnic area outside. You can also play a game of football or basketball if you like.

The staff at this establishment are very friendly and helpful. They are able to speak a variety of languages between them, so you should have no problems making yourself understood. If you have an issue or a query, they will deal with it quickly and efficiently.

The hostel is located in a nice woodland area, meaning there are lots of places to take picturesque walks. It is pleasingly peaceful here as well.

While Green Nest Hostel Uba Aterpetxea is set in a picturesque and pleasant area, it is quite a long way from the centre of town. If you want to head there on foot, it will take you the best part of an hour and you should be prepared for some steep hills. The public transport isn't ideal either, in that it ends fairly early in the evening. You may also have a hard time locating the property in the first place, even if approaching by car, as your GPS might not guide you there.

As is often the way with hostels, this one can get a little loud at times. If you are sharing dorms with people who aren't making much of an effort to be quiet, you might not get the best night's sleep.

The showers here aren't very big. Even if you are quite slim, you might not have the most comfortable wash.
