Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was cheap and close to the city centre. In the beginning we had a problem with our beds but we talked on the phone and via WhatsApp with a staff member and she was really helpful. It was very comfortable that the toilet was separated from the bathtub.

    Stayed in a private room. Great location, comfortable bed, clean, had everything that I needed for my short stay. Exceptional value for money! Perfect if you're looking for a simple base from which to explore Alicante and you are on a tight budget. Bus from Alicante airport stops a few minutes walk away from the hostel. Very convenient all around.

    Perfect hostel for backpackers/those travelling on a budget. Very clean, the beds were comfortable and we got a little private toilet with the quadruple room alongside the shared bathroom too. The location is also very good, right next to the plaza de ayuntamiento and the beach.

    The best hostel ever! I've never seen so comfortable and convenient bed space in the dormitory. You have a lot of space and privacy, your bed is actually like your own, little room. Very clean and big bathrooms, with soap, shampoo and hairdryer. The receptionist helped me to check in by myself because he was sick. I recommend this hostel to everyone! I love it :)
