Reviews of Hostel de Sal

08 December 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Fantastic location, in walking distance of everything you might want to see and central to some great places to eat. Large common space. Wifi in rooms was a nice change from other hostels. Staff was helpful.

Disliked: Bathroom door doesn't lock (no issue for me staying in all girls dorm but in mixed would have been uncomfortable). Dorms are boring. Rooms only cleaned when someone checks out and while sheets are changed, blankets are not. Mine had some stains on it I only noticed when I was leaving.

Liked: The hostal is very central in Alicante. If you like to party then it's perfect, because after the clubs you can just walk home. The breakfast was nice and they have a room with books which you can read.

Disliked: The dorms for 6 persons are not very beauty and you just have one bathroom.

Disliked: no idea

18 August 2011

Liked: Nothing.

Disliked: Everything. We had just one night there but it was enough. We had a reservation for 3 beds in the same room, but when we arrived they put us in 2 different rooms. One of us was put in a only female dorm and this caused a lot of complains from the other girls in that room. There were no air conditioned and it was so hot in the night that it was impossible to sleep. The bathrooms are very dirty. They didn't have enough linen and towels for all of us. The guy at the reception didn't give us any help or suggestion. They even haven't got maps of the city! In the night the reception and the common area (including the fridge where people can store their ouwn food) was closed like a cage. We also have been woken up twice in the night because they made some mistakes giving some beds to the wrong people. Stay away from this hostel!!

Liked: Good location,very helpful staff (thanks Alex).

Disliked: Very small room with 3 sets of bunkbeds crammed in,air-con wasn't working,shower was a hassle as the 'taps' are the type you have push in every 6 seconds (literally),no lift if that's a problem for some people with heavy luggage. It can also be a problem to find at first using the free Alicante map everyone seems to get,but no problems after you get your bearings.

13 June 2011 Nathan would recommend this property

Liked: Rooftop terrace with spectacular view of the castle at night.

Disliked: The relationship with the bar next door is unclear so I walked into what seemed to be a private party thinking it was part of the hostel social space.

12 June 2011 Jesper would recommend this property

Liked: Bra läge, nära till det mesta! Trevlig personal som hjälpte oss att beställa taxi till morgonen efter. Tack för det!

Disliked: Receptionen var inte alls öppen 24h på helgen utan verkade vara lite som de kände för, den stängde tex 6 på fredagkvällen. Detta gjorde dock inte så mycket! Skåpen var snarare burar som man såg igenom och lätt skulle kunna sno det mesta ur trots hänglås. Varmvattnet i duscharna hade nån helknäpp konstruktion. Man tryckte in en trög knapp och fick varmvatten i cirka 1 sekund, sen var man tvungen att trycka igen och igen och igen! Så att duscha var ingen avkopplande upplevelse!

11 June 2011

Liked: The place was very clean and nice, also quite funky.

Disliked: Our reservation, that had been made and a deposit paid over 3 months prior, was changed because they had over-booked...however I wasn't informed of this until I actually went to check in. They had arranged for us to stay the last two of our three night stay at another hostel, however i was pretty disappointed with they lack of communication.
