What People Are Saying

Gijón Surf Hostel caters primarily to a social, adventure-seeking crowd who prioritize an energetic atmosphere and surf experiences over a quiet retreat. The hostel receives high praise for its staff, who are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and passionate - especially surf instructors like Tete. Guests highlight the vibrant community vibe, with nightly guitar playing and international mingling. However, this lively environment can also be a drawback for those seeking more rest, as several reviewers complain about late-night noise and parties disrupting their sleep. While the facilities are generally clean, some guests note occasional cleanliness issues in common areas. Overall, the hostel offers an immersive, social experience for surfers and those looking to meet fellow travelers, though light sleepers may want to consider the trade-offs.
