Right next to the beach and good, helpful staff. Feels like a home away from home, except you can surf and lie on the beach right outside this home.

We had a fantastic time in San Sebastain staying in the Ocean Veiw. The beds were the best i´v stayed in yet and the staff were so friendly. We aksed Sebastain (owner) to do our laundry and he had it back to us in a couple of hours, which was good as I was out of cloths! What a star :)The view...

A nice hostel right by the beach, the owner guys were quite nice but I didn't think the other people staying there were that nice. Cleanliness was ok. All in all a good place to stay in San Sebastian.

There is no lock out so you can come back to the Hostel during the day and lie down or read a book in the lounge room which overlooks the surfing beach. Thanks Boys for looking after us!!!close

Great location - possibly the best location in San Sebastian - directly across the road from the beach. The staff are great - heaps of fun, friendly and full of advice. Have to be quiet from 12 but heaps of things to do nearby. Highly recommended.

On the last day, when I left to catch a train to Biarritz, I forgot my car keys but of course a hadn't realised this. Seb had spotted that I had forgotten them and ran down to the station to give them to me. What a legend! If I had missed the train I would have missed my flight home. 10 out of 10. Cheers, Joeclose

Perfect location, legitimately has a view of the ocean! Sebastian is awesome and the hostel is really cool. All the people staying were great, free breakfast, warm showers, everything I could have asked for! Can´t imagine a better hostel for San Seb.

The name of the hostel speaks for itself. The friendliest and most relaxed hostel I've been to with the staff more like one of the gang than anything else. Days at the beach, nights at the club & chit-chatting to all those at Ocean View in between, be prepared to stay longer than expected...

Great hostel all around. It's right on the beach, small enough that you can actually get some sleep, and the staff is incredible. The owner even lent his own surfboard to one of the guests. One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at.

This hostel is like a big apartment right across from the beach with a really nice little balcony that overlooks the beach and the street. The bathroom was really nice and big. The staff was great, and next time I come to San Sebastian I would definitely stay here again!

A lovely, cool and relaxed hostel in the best location we could have hoped for, right on the beach. Very clean and good breakfast too! We really enjoyed our stay. Only suggestion for improvement would be to put 'toilet' or 'room number' signs on doors.
