Matsya Hostel

Matsya Hostel sits on avenue de l'Adour in Ustaritz, a Basque Country village on the Adour river roughly 10km southeast of Bayonne and within cycling distance of the Pyrenean foothills. The address places guests between the Atlantic coast surf towns and the Spanish border, making it a practical base for the Basque interior rather than a beach-resort stopover.

The hostel runs a notably social program — bike tours, movie nights, evening entertainment, and happy hour at the on-site bar — without sacrificing practical infrastructure: full shared kitchen with stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator, daily housekeeping, laundry, and a terrace with outdoor dining. Upper floors require stairs.
