Great location
Located near the water, the hotel is within easy walking distance of the beach, as well as numerous options for food and shopping. Less than a block from the nearest bus stop, it's also a great spot to serve as a hub for your exploration of the city of Alicante.
positive:
Well maintained
Rooms are cleaned every day, and the hostel provides clean towels each time they clean. Quality air conditioning means the temperature inside is comfortable regardless of the weather. The facilities are kept up well, and any maintenance issues are quickly addressed by the staff.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms only overlook interior courtyards
Though there are rooms with excellent views of the surrounding city, some rooms only look out over interior courtyards—they tend to be fairly dark, and some guests aren't even able to tell such rooms have a window. You'll need to pay a bit more for the exterior-facing rooms, but if you want the view it will be worth it.
negative:
Some guests find the beds too hard
This is a hostel, so don't expect the same quality of mattress that you might find in a major hotel chain. That said, if you need a softer bed, you may be well served by bringing a foldable or inflatable mattress pad.
negative:
Can be hard to find
The entrance is recessed into an alcove, and can be hard to spot from the street if you're not sure what you're looking for.
