Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I choose San Remo as I was travelling solo and wanted to be in a central location for my stay in Alicante. It was great in terms of access to museums etc plus the beach and I felt safe going for a walk at night as quite a few people out eating etc. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room (en suite) was fine for 2 nights and suited my budget. A kettle would have been nice but no biggie. I'd definitely return.

    Stayed in a private room. Great location, comfortable bed, clean, had everything that I needed for my short stay. Exceptional value for money! Perfect if you're looking for a simple base from which to explore Alicante and you are on a tight budget. Bus from Alicante airport stops a few minutes walk away from the hostel. Very convenient all around.

    Perfect hostel for backpackers/those travelling on a budget. Very clean, the beds were comfortable and we got a little private toilet with the quadruple room alongside the shared bathroom too. The location is also very good, right next to the plaza de ayuntamiento and the beach.
