VAD HOSTEL ALICANTE - Albergue Juvenil

Quite clean and spacious bathrooms and lockers and free coffee.

I requested a bottom bunk, the day before (so it could have been accommodated, I worked at hostels so I know for sure this could have been done) yet once I mentioned to the staff they just played down as ‘oh you did’

The facilities and the amazing staff! Flavia, Giulia, Paulo, Pilar, Elo, Lafe, Fede, Sole and Matteo

The fact that I had to leave! 😁

People were very friendly, the place was very organised, and the toilet was cleaned constantly. There were nice shared areas and group activities, for those who will spend more time in Alicante is a very nice place to make friends and connect with new people.

The kitchen was closed at night, what make difficult to have water later night. It would be useful if there was a place to have water.

Everything was very clean and well maintained. I was very satisfied with the facilities in general. The hostel also organized social activities almost every day, often with free food and drinks, which made it really easy to meet other people and socialize. The staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere was very nice.

Unfortunately, this is probably the main reason why I wouldn’t come back. My 6-bed dorm was extremely small, and even with only 3–4 people inside, it already felt very crowded. I was also unlucky to have a room on the ground floor facing the street, with the reception on the other side. Because of this, there was quite a lot of noise during the night and I woke up several times. For this reason, I unfortunately cannot recommend staying in these rooms.
