About
Kaixo Hostel - San Sebastian
Kaixo Hostel sits on San Juan street in the old town of San Sebastian, a 7-minute walk from the curved sweep of La Concha Beach. Monte Urgull, the hill that guards the bay, is just off the property. The location puts you in the middle of the city's pintxo bars and narrow streets, with the seafront close enough for a morning swim or an evening stroll.
Rooms are simple but generous in size, with parquet floors, heating, and private balconies looking over the city. The hostel offers free Wi-Fi and parking, which is a practical bonus in a dense old-town setting. Check-in runs from 2 PM to 10 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM.
