HAY CHINCHES DE CAMA! Me fui de allí lleno de pucaduras. NO RECOMIENDO EN ABSOLUTO ESTE ALOJAMIENTO! Haces reserva para dormitorio con vistas y balcón pero te ponen en un sótano pasillo miserable- estafadores!

The dormitory was really smelly and the bed did not feel very clean. I’ve heard that one guest had problems with bed bugs. There are not enough bathrooms, which makes you wait in a line. And the hostel is not very clean.

Vibe Analysis
Free morning pilates and yoga give Gijon Surf Hostel a real surf-camp rhythm instead of a plain bed-for-the-night setup. The hostel fits a young, social, beach-focused trip: there is a garden with places to sit, common areas for hanging out, surf activity around the house, and a loose international energy. The location works better for beach time than city wandering. San Lorenzo and quieter coastal areas are nearby, and there is a bus stop close to the hostel, but downtown can be a long walk. A simple breakfast is included and may include vegan options, though it starts around 9 and can feel sparse. This is not a polished sleep-first hostel. Noise can run late, especially around parties, music, terrace talk, and surf-house social life. Some dorms are tight, humid basement spaces with little daylight, squeaky bunks, limited storage, and occasional mosquitoes. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with bathrooms and kitchens the main risk zones.
Signals to check
- Best for surfers, beach days, and a social trip; weak fit for pilgrims, work trips, early starts, or light sleepers.
- Noise can continue well past quiet hours, and earplugs are a smart move.
- Some dorms may feel cramped, hot, humid, and short on fresh air.
- Bathrooms can be limited for the number of beds, and kitchen cleanliness can be uneven.
- Bike rental and laundry availability may be unreliable.
