The best backpackers I stayed at in Europe, it's small and you tend to know everyone staying there which is fun, it was like living at home for a couple of weeks! Will definitely go back if I get a chance. Fran and Michael are the greatest!

We arrived pretty late at night to SM31, to find that i had made our booking wrong, amazingly there was a bed and the people running it managed to accommodate us for the rest of the booking. SM31 is the cleanest hostel we have ever stayed in with the most helpful staff. They will help with...

Best hostel in Europe! It´s a shame the ratings don´t go over 100% because thats what these 2 amazing people give to their hostel. After 7 months and 15 countries, this has been our favourite place to stay. Cleanest, funnest, best staff, secure, and perfect location.

It is a family owned hostel and the owner is more than happy to go though the sites of san Sebastain with you. easy to find and a nice kitchen. Big bathrooms and lockers for all. Also have free wifi and internet. Nice and clean however it is 4 floors up which can be a mission!

Great hostel. Michel and Fran are super friendly and helpful. The other travelers here were all really great, too. For whatever reason, they seemed to be mostly Aussies while I was here. The stairs can be a bit of a workout, though.

The owners are excellent, had a great stay. It it very small though, so if you are arriving early you can't stay at the hostel before check in. But once you are there, you will enjoy your stay.

Miguel and Fran anre amazing. The hostel is clean as a whip. It isn´t conducive to having a party in or anything, but this is a welcome reprieve after a few days in KAbul in Barcelona...just grab some wine and head to the beach at night! Great city, awesome hostel.

The nicest most personable hostel owners I've come across! They're willing to chat and answer any of your questions at any time of the day and Michael will throw your bags over his shoulder for you with such ease, you'll get carried away with how nice they are! Highly recommended!

San Sebastian is an adorable town and this is a great hostel for small groups or people traveling solo to meet people and chill out for a couple days.close

Unbelievable hospitality. I'm really grateful for how special they made me feel as their guest. I will tell all my friends that visit Spain to make a trip to San Sebastian and stay at SM31

Miguel and Fran are superb! They gave me the "low down" on which places to go to for food and I was impressed. Fran and Miguel made me feel at home, especially refreshing when you've been traveling on your own.

This was one of the friendliest places i´ve stayed. The couple that runs it are so nice and helpful. They make you feel as though you are guests in their home. Only downside was there was not a large common area, but this hostal is definitely worth staying in!
