Basic beds and questionable showers

I stayed for one night, and it got the job done. I would never shower because there's no privacy,y and the bathroom didn't look the cleanest. I don't mind noise, but be aware that there's a restaurant/bar open until midnight below the hostel and the street is pretty loud. My room was on the street, so might be different for the back.

Excellent location, excellent staff. Your shower rooms were not discreet when having a shower and it felt intrusive and uncomfortable when having a shower.

Great location

Location was great and staff was very friendly and welcoming. But the building was in bad condition (shower drains were leaking, one of the toilets out of use cause of a leak, overall space was small and walls were thin so you could easily hear noise).

Passing through Alicante

The vibe is great, though it sometimes felt overtaken by the staff. The mattress was too thin for me, I could feel the bedframe through it. It was excellent value for money and the lady at reception gave very good advice for coffee and getting good views!

Excellent - Highly Recommended

This is a warm and friendly place to stay. Although a hostel, facilities were clean and presentable, and staff were available 24 hours a day to deal with any queries. The dorms themselves are locked so only accessible to those who have a bed in that particular room. The dorms also have good sized lockers for valuables. The hostel is located within walking distance of the castle, old town (including the bars) and the beach, yet in a quiet street. Met lots of people from all over the world. As a solo traveller, it was more like being on holiday with a group of friends!

Satisfactory.

4 berth dorm. for on night so not able to comment to much except to say the wash area would have benefited from closer attention to tidying as discarded towels did nothing for the decor.

Best for crashing when u can't drive or walk home

👌It is what it is.. very strong fragrances in their cleaning products (that gave me a terrible headache), poor sound isolation and no ear plugs or eye covers offered for compensation. 🔊I hope this changes, come on you guys, they are like €0.1/pair in bulk and show that little extra love I know u got... because apparently people snore a lot !😅 Personally the room was too hot, but I'm also Scandinavian so.. bomaclat! 🚾Don't use the mensroom unless you have been to prison and definitely don't stay the night before an early flight, the mattresses and the time to fall asleep will trap you as soon as you're out! In general: A very cozy place with wonderful staff and lovely atmosphere that are in need of slight sleep comfort improvements(therefore even leaving a review, you are unique), a straight 4/5 💪 Keep up the good work 🍻 Cheers, Paul
