Location perfect for proximity to the airport.

Altet is a small community with shops and bars and the Hostel has its own bar for breakfasts and snack meals. Great for overnight stop overs. The best though is the bus service thar runs hourly during the day to the Airport and only takes 7 minutes and costs €1.60 (Dec 2022). The bus stop is less than 300 m from the Hostel entrance.

Having been here before, we had no reservations in staying again. We originally chose this property as an overnight stay for an early flight. Using only public transport is OK for us but from our own home, its impossible to get to the airport early. The hotel is basic BUT: very clean, comfortable the staff are helpful and friendly and it is perfectly located on a pleasant street, great for an overnight or a longer, low cost stay in the area. Local buses stop just 100 metres from the front door. With the airport being 7 mins away at just €1.35. The centre of Alicante can be reached in 20 mins. There is also a longer distance service that calls at most towns as far along the coast as Pillar de Horadada. National bus or train services are connected in Alicante. Don't waste your money on corporate, plastic hotels. This hotel is a great place to stay and it delivers a flavour of Spain for far less.

Really comfortable beds, clean and very close to airport so was perfect for an early morning flight Staff were excellent and lots of local amenities. Really enjoyed our quick stay will be using again if ever in the area. Ideal if coming from Benidorm as early taxi can be €70+, We used local Alsa Bus to Airport the got the R10 bus from airport two stops, 5mins, €1.35. There is a regular bus going to the airport too but our flight was a bit too early to use. Hotel arranged taxi no problem at 5am - €14.

No tea and coffee facilities in room, not that it personally bothered me but might do others.

This was my 5th stay at Hostal El Altet. The room was spotlessly clean. Although I had a single room, there was a double shower & double bed - adequate room for an overnight stay.. The Hostal is only 3 storeys, but has a lift, which is a bonus when lugging a suitcase. The staff were very friendly & obliging. I had a meal in the evening - very good & a great breakfast, which the owner gave me earlier than the official breakfast start, as had to leave for the airport. Short taxi ride to the airport, that was called for me. Can't recommend this Hostal highly enough. I'll be back in September.

Nothing!

We were instantly made very welcome by Blas. Our rooms were lovely with balconies overlooking the street and trees outside. Spanish sparrows in abundance in palms and sycamores in street. Hostel El Altet bar/restaurant was lovely. All staff were kind and helpful even with language barrier. Good to stay in non tourist real town with normal life around us. Comfy beds, peaceful rooms, felt welcome. Would have no hesitation staying there again. Thank you to all at Hostal El Altet.

It can't be helped due to it's close proximity to airport but planes taking off were noisy but I got used to this quickly and it didn't bother me.

Great location, close to the airport, 5 mins in a taxi or there is a bus service, not sure how frequent. Nice staff, room clean. Good breakfast.

Noise between the rooms is an issue, some people were in the corridor outside my room at 03:00, making noise and totally oblivious to sleeping guests. Also there is a lot of street noise and you can hear other guests using showers, toilets etc. The quality of the towels are not great and the beds are not very comfortable.

We wanted an overnight stay to go to the airport early the following morning. Excellent locality, Pepe and all the staff were very helpful, very friendly and couldnt do enough for us. We booked a taxi via Pepe for the following morning for 5.30, taxi was there waiting for us. Maria cooked a gluten free meal for me and a normal meal for my wife as Altet very limited for gluten free meals. We can't speak highly enough of them and will definitely be going back again. The hostel was exceptionally clean couldn't fault it.

There was nothing to dislike.

I only needed a room for a day as I had to leave my previous accommodation early, but my flight wasn't until 9pm. The value for money is very decent; I had a room with two single beds and an en-suite bathroom. Very clean, convenient location and comfortable beds.

The value for money is great, there is nothing I can fault for the price. Just make sure to have appropriate expectations and you're golden!

The room was small but comfortable and clean and the air conditioning worked well. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was next door in a cafe, where they served the typical Spanish breakfast of toast or fresh croissants, juice and coffee. I was asked if I wanted more when I'd finished. There was plenty of on street parking nearby which was free. The hotel is only a 5 or 6 minute drive from the airport and I was able to check in very late.

As a sole traveller, the area didn't feel particularly safe, although I don't think it would have bothered me so much had I not been on my own.

Everything was great at the Hostal El Altet. It has been easy to get to the Hostal from Alicante airport by bus (line 1B). The hostal is very clean, the cleaning service is great and all the staff is very kind. The beds were comfortable, in the bathroom all worked properly and air conditioner worked well too. Closed to the hostal you can find many shops. Food at the hostal´s reastaurant was delicious. I had a great stay indeed and I will come back to Hostal El Alter in the future. Thank you for all.
