Olé Backpackers Hostel, hotel in Alicante

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Hostel Olé offers accommodation in Alicante, 15 minutes' walk from Alicante's Postiguet Beach. There is a games room and bar on site.

The location is great and the staff is amazing! Also, to have breakfast next door for a discounted price was nice. I would only add some appliances to the kitchen and make the place cozier if women and men are divided. Otherwise, I recommend this place for a short stay, as it was very pleasant :)

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Friendly staff, great pizza and beer night to get people mixing. Really great atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely and clean areas. The garden was great place to meet people. Key fob for lockers and doors is brilliant idea. Hire of towels cheap. Showers really good compared to some hostels. Really love that you put events on for people . Such a wonderful idea especially for those a bit nervous. I am grateful for a fab stay.

    Stayed in a private room. Great location, comfortable bed, clean, had everything that I needed for my short stay. Exceptional value for money! Perfect if you're looking for a simple base from which to explore Alicante and you are on a tight budget. Bus from Alicante airport stops a few minutes walk away from the hostel. Very convenient all around.

    Perfect hostel for backpackers/those travelling on a budget. Very clean, the beds were comfortable and we got a little private toilet with the quadruple room alongside the shared bathroom too. The location is also very good, right next to the plaza de ayuntamiento and the beach.

    The best hostel ever! I've never seen so comfortable and convenient bed space in the dormitory. You have a lot of space and privacy, your bed is actually like your own, little room. Very clean and big bathrooms, with soap, shampoo and hairdryer. The receptionist helped me to check in by myself because he was sick. I recommend this hostel to everyone! I love it :)
