Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed value for money — The Value rating sits at 6.9, below the area average of 8.1, and the starting price of £135 per night is relatively high for a hostel in Alicante.
- Potential street noise — Several rooms overlook the lively street, which guests enjoy for the atmosphere but may translate to noise during busy hours.
- Limited in-room amenities — Rooms come with basic features like shower and heating, but there's no air conditioning mentioned, which could be a consideration in warmer months.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
