Gran lugar, para relajarte en la pileta o podés elegir la playa que está a pocos metros, si querés ir a Alicante o Benidorm el tramp tiene su parada a solo 20 metros, por lo que es muy practico para hacer planes, tiene lo necesario para disfrutar de unas lindas vacasiones!

Lovely family, location etc. Not bad but for the price point, should be better. Issues: - volunteers; some lovely. others unprofessional. One fellow & his mate sleeping in common area outside, on drugs (or withdrawing from). Interactions with them were v uncomfortable - No lock on door; people/staff not staying in the room coming in the middle! - “energy-saving” initiatives that come off as a a business being stingy ie push-button shower, ONE available toilet, unclean utensils

Nice little Hostel in a quiet area. Close to the beach. Everything is very open and it's easy to connect to people. The kitchen is well equipped and cleaned daily. Good for a short summer vacation stay. If you are looking for privacy or a calm place to work on something, don't go. If you're looking to connect and enjoy a pool, go. Friendly staff.

This is a little paradise in Alicante. Its a family already running this hostel for 14 years and living there themselves. They have a swimming pool which in the over 30 degrees temperature we had was just a blast. Complete with tube to float on and sunbathe in the water while my legs weightless chilling in the water. Lovely happy feeling. Only remark in my opinion was the safety of the bunk beds. I felt out and hurted my knees as there was no bar attached which could avoid this from happening.

Lovely friendly environment. Few steps from the beach, not to talk of the swimming pool in the hostel. Friendly and welcoming people you will feel like home. I only stop by for one night I wish I was able to stay more nights. I will definitely come back. Thank you for your help with the direction on how to get to the airport estoy muy agradecida gracias.

Amazing beachside Hostel with everything you need to live comfortably. Lots of shops nearby and access to the tram and Alicante/Benidorm. The volunteers were absolutely amazing and so kind and caring for all of the people that are staying there. The owners are absolutely fantastic. I had such a nice stay. I will definitely be going back. I would recommend this hostel to anyone who likes a more laid-back happy, chill vibe … and to anyone who’s looking to make new friends and great connections...

Brilliant location with a short walk to the beach and some restaurants and bars. A short walk away from the tram directly to Alicante. It was kept clean and tidy by the staff who were also really nice and kind. Very family run kind of feel, which can seem strange at first but then you soon feel at home. Some of the facilities may be a little old, but they work nonetheless. My room didn’t have AC, but a ceiling fan and it was pretty difficult at night. But I am aware other rooms do have AC

Günstig, nettes Team, Sauberer Pool, Küche zum selber kochen, Fahrradverleih für 10€ aber weit vom Zentrum Der öffentlicher Verkehr ist eine Katastrophe, wenn man den Standard der meisten Länder in der EU gewohnt ist Die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel fahren schon früh Abends nicht mehr Nachtbusse nur am Wochenende und nur ab und zu Taxifahrer können nur Spanisch und fahren Umwege zum Abzocken Ich bin in 3 Tagen mindestens 20 km zu Fuß gegangen.

The hostel is family run out of their home. The location was great for a beach trip- very close to beaches and restaurants and a 1 minute walk from the nearest tram stop that is a 20min ride into the city center. The rooms were very basic but clean and comfortable. The atmosphere wasn’t very social when we stayed there and we were the youngest guests by far, there were a lot of middle aged men staying there, there was no issue but I’d advise female travellers to book the female only dorm

I stayed at this hostel because of the good social reviews. But I came too early in the season and I was pretty much the only one there. The door to the 4 bed female only dorm doesn't lock. The shower is a joke it lasts literally 3 seconds and the pressure is awful. It's close to the Tram line is a 10 min walk away and Lildl is 20. It definitely needs a lot of work doing to it but the social aspect aside it did the job I needed.

The hostel could use a little renovation but the facilities are great (great kitchen, nice chill area, and a pool). Staff were really chill and helpful.

The location is ok since its a quiet neighborhood, nice owner, the beds were too small for me and it feels crowded in such a small room and kitchen is semi. i definitely prefer more spacious hostels, so definitely lack of privacy

Der Besitzer und Mitarbeiter des Hostels waren sehr entspannt und freundlich. Die Ausstattung und das Hostel an sich sind sehr simpel gehalten, aber man hat alles was man braucht. Es gab einem Camping Vibes. Die Lage und die Umgebung sind gut zum entspannen. Wer feiern möchte, sollte lieber in der Stadt übernachten, wer an anderen Aktivitäten interessiert ist, wird hier glücklich!

My stay was a late arrival but they were so kind to let me in as it was after check in time, the hosts are very welcoming and make you feel at ease I’d recommend if you like relaxation as well the ability to go to the beach 2 minutes away where there is many restaurants and places to relax. I’d happily return again as was made to feel very welcome me.

Lovely family run hostel. A super short walk from the beach in a calm area outside of the crowds of the city. Easily connected by the light rail (right behind hostel) to the city centre and anywhere you’d like to go.
