The bedroom and bathroom were small but were well designed and comfortable. There are three decent supermarkets within a few minutes’ walk, and the locality is quite pleasant. Staff were helpful and friendly. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Good value for money.

The stay was very nice. Its a clean and well kept hostel/hotel. The rooms where cleaned every day and it was very much spotless. I enjoyed the breakfast: strong good coffee, fresh pressed orange juice and croissants. I even had greek yoghurt some days. There are plenty of small nice restaurants in the town of El Altet, just 1-2 streets up from Hostal Pensimar so food was all around - and a grocery store as well. The beach is 20 min walk away, a great way to start the day with fresh air, waking through nice neighborhoods. The bus takes you to Alicante in 15 minutes and cost less than 2 Euro! ;) The staff is nice and helpful. Will def be back!

Excellent for an overnight stay as it is 5 mins from Alicante airport by car, especially good for early morning flights. Paco on reception was extremely friendly and helpful. The twin beds were very comfortable, the room and bathroom were very clean. We didn't have time for breakfast. Fully recommend.

Cerca aeropuerto es una ventaja. Y negativo es que las habitaciones son muy muy feas, en comparacion con el hall, que se utiliza como gancho y engaño.

This hostel was convenient, as we didn’t arrive in time to catch the last train to Valencia. It was small, but that is what we expected. Room for literally two twin beds and a bathroom. Located on the edge of town. We walked around and didn’t feel unsafe at all. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, they even called us a taxi. Would stay here again for a quick overnight.

I had very little time in this hotel as it was just a bed for the night before an early flight from nearby ALC. It served the purpose well. There is a small front desk at the entry that isn't staffed after 10pm. Fortunately the hotel staff contacted my the day before. I needed to arrange a very early taxi and they took care of this for me. All in all I was satisfied with the interaction, although having a staff member around might have been crucial were there a problem with the taxi or any other issue.

Buena relación calidad precio. Volvería. Instalaciones en buen estado de mantenimiento y buena limpieza. La recepción está sólo hasta cierta hora, después te dejan código e instrucciones de acceso. Para mi esta bien para estancias de una noche, muy cerca del aeropuerto , pero no conozco los alrededores. Encontré para aparcar el coche bastante cerca, no sé si es así siempre o segun temporada. El desayuno está bien, sólo pagas lo que comes. buen servicio. Me hubiera gustado que me recomendaran algún restaurante bueno porque acabé comiendo una pésima ensalada en un sitio cualquiera..... pero eso no tiene mucho que ver, solo que pregunte por un buen sitio para comer y me dijeron que cualquiera estaba bien
