Old Centre Inn Alicante

“Liked · Absolutely everything! Amazing communication from the owners. We received an email confirming the location, door number, floor and room number before we flew and an email once we arrived confirming check in. The member of staff working there let us in at 3 and gave us a tour of the facilities including which key opened which room. The room had been freshly cleaned and was immaculate! We had the terrace leading out to the square which was beautiful and gave us somewhere to sit on the evening away from the bustle of the city but still allowed us to enjoy the nightlife below. The bathroom was way better than expected for a hostel and had cleaning products for use. It could do with a mop to clean up after your shower but that is just personal preference. The beds were memory foam and really comfortable, immaculately clean mattress, the sheets provided smelt freshly laundered and additional blankets were given. Everything was explained really clear. The venue was easy to find (Find the town hall square, look for the row of cafes near the mini shop and it's tucked in the corner clearly sign posted) The patio doors were some what sound proof but we expected noise given it's location and how that we visited on a weekend. For the price we paid we have no complaints. Beautiful hostel Friendly staff Beautiful city We can't wait to return in the Spring! 10/10 would recommend for those seeking a cheap stay in a beautiful city! Whilst basic, it was 100% expected for a hostel stay, clean, safe with CCTV in the common area, secure and worth every penny! Top tip for anyone travelling. Use Google translate to communicate with the owners if your Spanish isn't the best. It made our process a lot easy and smoother A few reviews complain about the lack of toilet roll. There were 3 rolls when we visited but more could be purchased from any of the mini marts around the hostel for a few euros.”

“This is the most disgusting accomodation I have ever been inside. I walked into the room and the communal area had loads of dirty laundry in the middle of the room overloading out of the container. The room was basic and disgustingly cold. The bathroom was absolutely vile. There were men’s hairs all over the floor and in the corners as if it had been brushed into the corner. The toilet was dirty with human wee on it and the shower had hairs all over the floor with dirt, we couldn’t even stand in there. We originally had 3 nights booked, but had to leave immediately as I was so concerned that my grandma and dad would get unwell due to the unclean unhygienic dirty environment we had to pay for another accomodation. Asked for a refund for the two nights that we haven’t stayed there and they are ignoring us !!!!!! Do not stay here !!!!!!!”

“THEY ARE THIEVES, when I asked to cancel my reservation not even 2 hours after booking, they contacted me on WhatsApp to tell me that they were giving me a refund, that I would receive it within 7 to 8 days, two weeks later, I contacted them again to know where it was because I had still not received anything. they told me that the problem was booking, so I contacted Booking, they told me that it was the establishment that refused to answer to their delandes of Refund confirmation. It's been almost 2 months since I went back and forth between booking and the property. The establishment ghosted me, they are slow and thieves!”

“We picked this hostel because of its location, and we didn’t take the wrong choice as our main activities were for seeing the city in wide perspective. From here, we could reach most of the “must-visit” places within walking distance. ||The down side of this hostel is that there’s no proper reception point or staffs sitting there or available at the hostel. We even wrote the email in advance telling the hostel the arrival time, but no reply and when we arrived, we rang the bell and even called, but got no response. Fortunately, we were able to get in because one of the hostel guests decided to open the door for us. And for the check-in, there was just a lady that didn’t speak english nor spanish, but russian (i think), and she provided us the call to a man who could communicate with us giving the detail of the check-in (which was just to pay the amount in cash that indicated in our booking confirmation.) For the check-out, we just had to leave the key in the box and left. ||However, We personally were satisfied with our one night stay. We stayed in 4 mixed beds room type. The bed was well-prepared and clean, as well as the bathroom. The wifi also worked well during our stay. |”
