    Shower area was too small.

    Friendly staff, Nice downstairs communal area. Bedroom was small but clean. Good for if you just need to drop your bags off & need a bed for the night.

    The stole money from my account after paying them cash at the hotel.

    Please I have a bad experience. When I booked the room I chose an option of paying in the hotel.which I did pay when I got there..surprisingly they went back to my account which I filled while booking the hotel and called another money.i have called to return my money but no one is picking my calls

    This is hostel-type accommodation, and it lives up to that expectation.

    There is a fridge, a kettle, and a microwave, although cutlery is limited.

    I booked a shared female room. The room has double bunks with a small bedside cabinet to store personal items. Each bed has a charging point and a light. The locker for your bag does not lock. There is a window with blackout curtains. It's a compact room with limited personal space. I highly recommend bringing earplugs and an eye mask.

    Everything was fine

    I have used this hostel before, as I fly often to Alicante for family reasons, and have both times been very satisfied. Nice, helpful staff, good location not far from coach station and very close to train station as well as not far to the main restaurant and nightlife part of town. The room was perfect; clean, comfortable bed, good roomates, quiet area of town to get some rest, clean bathrooms. As mentioned I have repeated staying at this hostel and I will stay again in the future. That should be a good indicator that I am quite happy with everything.

    When I went down in the morning at 7am as I had to get the bus to the airport the kitchen was inaccessible so I could not make a hot drink. Sleeping inside the door on the floor was a girl. Someone must have let her in.

    The shared female dormitory had its own toilet and shower but the terrace was below our window and four men were out there from 2-3am talking very loudly and when I asked them if they could be quiet they went in and I could hear them still talking for another two hours so I did not get much sleep.

    The showers would need some ventilation to prevent them from mold. But all in all there wasn’t much to complain about given the price level and the fact that you stay in backpacker’s hostel

    By far the cheapest option when I stayed in Alicante. The staff was superfriendly and helpful and gave some valuable recommendations for nice places to visit (make sure to check out Playa San Juan)

    I don't like the idea that it's not yet ready the bed before check in I should have to get the bedsheets at 8:30 this is my first time that I am the one who will do the bed sheets, what if your guests will arrived at 23h they have to go down and get bedsheets?

    Price is good near in everything, train station, supermarket beach and even tourist attractions

    The location is slightly outside the center so depending on your preferences it could be a hassle. On checkout day the luggage storage to keep after our checkout was unlocked (but this is common in hostels so take that with a grain of salt).

    Super comfortable beds and cozy room. all the facilities were clean. Very close to the train station. Walking distance to the center. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. You definitely get bang for your buck.

    Location, thin beed sheets, kitchen very dirt, hot water only available on 1st floor bathroom, rooftop is ugly. And if it is important to you, the design is not so cool.

    Clean, cheap, helpfull employees, they have a rooftop, toilets outside the room and individual (not stalls). Despite being really badly located, alicante is small, so you can go anywhere walking in 15 minutes.

    The kitchen is tiny if you or many people decide to cook at the same time.

    Nice budget hostel in a good location near the the bus to the airport and the train station. Big and spacious room as well as the social area.

    The lobby and kitchen close very early and are locked at night which I did not know. The kitchen does not open early in the morning I had a flight and left the hostel at 7am and couldn’t retrieve my coffee and yogurt that were in the kitchen. Otherwise a good stay.

    Check-in is not flexible, but you can leave your luggage in hostel when you arrive. Dust in room You need to have a lock for your locker, but I read in Q&A thet it can be closed by key-card Small kitchen, fridge is also tiny for all guests, and there's no freezer, one piece tile

    The repair isn't old, so in general hostel looks good There are two supermarkets Dia and Diaprix close to the hostel
