Slightly disappointed by this one as it was mostly empty while I stayed there and I got paired up with two different old guys throughout my stay. Common area is locked after hours which leaves no place to hang out inside the hostal. Pros: great location on top of/within El Barrio so great nightlife all around on the weekends (not great for those looking for sleep). Have a library, microwave and fridge, and a projector w/ movies or tv.

清潔でお洒落な内装で、立地も旧市街の一角にあって海まで徒歩5,6分と非常に気持ちの良いところだったのでつい長居してしまいました。スタッフも親切で、朝食も美味しかったです。駅、バスターミナルからは徒歩20分ほど。南京錠で鍵を閉められるロッカーが付いているのも良かった。ホステルの周りにはバルやレストランもたくさんあります。 Clean and nice interior design, great

Alicante was a fun city to visit. The hostel was in an excellent location. Note, it's an older building so the rooms and the facilities are very basic. Staff was helpful and friendly. With the window's open, it can get a little loud at night. Wear some earplugs to sleep and it will be fine.

Shower steams up quickly without a fan and the floor gets wet pretty quickly. Only a microwave and fridge is available. Pretty cool vibe. Only one computer (out of 2) was working. Common room is pretty comfy. Staff very approachable and nice.

Very good located, in the centre of the old Barrio, but still not very loud during the night!!! Stuff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good and enough for everyones taste. Would recommend it to my friends and stay there again.

Great staff and roommates. Location was good. Only one bad thing.. the shower was not clean and the water didn't drain, which made you have to stand in a few cm of water everytime taking a shower. But with that said I have already booked the same hostel on my return trip to Alicante. It's in general a good place to stay at and I would recommend it.

Nice hostel. Staff are friendly and welcoming and there are good facilities. Unfortunately I came on a Sunday where the facilities had to be closed down early, so had to be an early night ;-)

The guy at the front is really helpful. Good hostel for a base, with a 5min walk to the beach and a decent breakfast. Not a party hostel though, but thoroughly recommend

This hostel was pretty cool, staff was very nice and friendly. The location is good too, very near to the beach. The rooms were a bit crammed and bunkbeds were too high. The pubcrawl was really good.
