    The vibe in the hostel really felt very off. There was a common area/kitchen, but there were always just some middle-aged men hanging out and not really travellers. It felt like a few of these people were actually living in the hostel, as they were always hanging around... As a girl, I would HIGHLY recommend booking a female only dorm as I wouldn't have liked being in a room with these old men. Lady at reception was quite nice. The cleaning lady however came into my room without knowing or evening apologizing. No activities organized. In general very non-social hostel.

    Quite clean and good rooms. If you just need a cheap bed to sleep next to the train station than this hostel is good. For everyone else, I wouldn't recommend.

    No real complaints but the room had that feety smell. No soap in any of the toilets. A little mould coming through in the showers.

    Had the room to myself. Goodish location. Good price.

    The incompetent staff. Instead of opening a door for a customer who forgot something in the room, they told the desperate traveller that they could not help him. What saved the customer was the goodwill of a person he met less than 24 hours prior. Pure incompetence. 50% of showers are full of fungus 🤮. Better spend 5 additional euros and pick another hostel.

    The location.

    Dirty, the staff in the day was rude, didn't show me the space, rules, nothing, they give you the card but if you have a problem with it (unmagnetized for example) you're in trouble cause they don't have anyone after 10 to help. They don't say you have to pick up the sheets by yourself, when I and another traveler arrived I was without it. After that the woman left to walk around, but when returned nobody was there and she had to sleep without it. Bathrooms are dirty and with mold. The girl in the morning was helpful, but the woman in the afternoon, looked like you were always annoying by asking simple questions.

    Good mattress... Dark room at morning, has kitchen...

    Hostel was very clean and welcoming, with a common room area downstairs which was always full of other friendly travelers as well as TV, couches and a kitchen/dining area. Use of CCTV made me feel safe. Location was well situated in the centre of Alicante with all attractions within a 30 minute walk and was close to numerous markets and restaurants. Air conditioning was also much appreciated as temperatures were always around 30 degrees. There is also plenty to do in Alicante, I stayed 5 days and had plenty to do, would 100% recommend.

    Horrible hygiene

    It was super dirty, the rooms smelled like urine, the showers were moldy and unclean, and the overall hygiene of the place was very poor. There are many noises all the time, for an example the first night some men were yelling in front of our window at 5 AM and nobody did anything Also, I had to ask about bed linen three separate times in order to finally get it. The location is quite away from everything. Overall this was the worst stay in a hostel I've had so far.

    The only good thing about my stay in this place was that I was only there for 2 nights.

    I did not get the room I bought (I bought 4 persons room, I got 6 persons room).
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room with External Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    I made reservations for a 4 persons bedroom, I got a 6 persons bedroom. One of the more permanent 'guests' performed his islamic prayer right in front of my bed as a result of which I could not reach my bed and stuff, and I could not shower directly after arrival. I am in favour of freedom of religion, and each one should do as he pleases, but: please do not bother other guests in a hostal, who simply wish to grab their towel and take a shower. As a christian I do not block others to go to their own bed either because of my faith, neither do atheists. The reception is closed after 22h so after that, any dispute that may arise cannot be solved by the owner. A hostal is there to let ppl sleep, prayers should be done without bothering others (find a discreet place), no one should bother/block another guest from reaching his own bed and his own stuff (wallet, phone, clothes, etc); one's own bed should always be accessible. The hostal should see to that. Freedom of religion requires mutual respect: do your thing - but do not force others to give up their freedom to simply be guest in a hostal without being actively confronted with a religion/rituals by blocking his/her bed.

    De prijs en locatie zijn in orde

    no ac, crazy hot rooms, uncomfortable beds, the people in this hostel are very questionable. someone would throw dirty dishes with clean dishes. I wouldn't advise anyone to use the kitchen.

    location, towels, rooftop patio, and cheap price. if you're looking for a place that's close the to train (walking), just going for the beach and exploring Alicante, it's an ok place to stay, not the best but the price makes it tolerable.

    lounge shuts 10-pm in the night and you may face difficulties if you arrive later than 10-pm. it might change during tourist season.

    Location is fantastic, close to the city centre, train station, bus stops and all the local amenities, restaurants, cafes, and so forth. Fast internet, the downstairs lounge remains open until 10-pm.

    Stayed at female dormitory overnight, excellent if you aim to catch up the airport shuttle in the morning. Also city center and seaside promenade is on walking distance some 10ish minutes. The staff was the best, very welcoming and friendly lady.
