The hotel is small but in a good location near to the airport and excellent for exploring South Alicante. Many bars and restaurants are within walking distance and the nearest beach is only a 5 minute drive away.
The bed was comfortable and the room clean. The staff were accommodating and the breakfast reasonably priced with plenty of options. Plenty of street parking is available

The hostel is in a small, quiet town with charming cafes. The staff was good. Unfortunately, there is almost no public transportation. If you plan to go to Alicante (about a 15-20 min drive), you need a car to get around. Uber takes a while to get and is expensive. The room was quite small and smelly, but the AC worked great. I would not stay there again since it was so far from the Alicante city center.

I had very little time in this hotel as it was just a bed for the night before an early flight from nearby ALC. It served the purpose well. There is a small front desk at the entry that isn't staffed after 10pm. Fortunately the hotel staff contacted my the day before. I needed to arrange a very early taxi and they took care of this for me. All in all I was satisfied with the interaction, although having a staff member around might have been crucial were there a problem with the taxi or any other issue.

It's probably not ideal for a prolonged stay, but for a day or two before flying home it's perfect.

Last stay of trip

Just an overnight stay before a flight.
I was impressed by the quick response to emails and the information given. Very good welcome indeed. Room was smaller than I thought but the bed was far more comfortable than several other hotels that cost more on this trip!
Room was very clean and well equipped, as was the ensuite. Quiet location even though close to airport & main access roads.
Breakfast looked very good, fresh baked pastries, ground coffee, another time would have had some but can't eat before travelling!.
Being a solo traveler it was very good indeed to be made welcome, definitely recommend.

The hotel is well sited for an overnight stop en route to or from Alicante airport. It was adequate for this and is reflected in a very favourable rate. Due to the very recent storms and floods, the air conditioning did not work which made for an uncomfortable night, temperature wise. The manager was very apologetic and extremely generous in wishing to offset this.

There are plenty of small nice restaurants in the town of El Altet, just 1-2 streets up from Hostal Pensimar so food was all around - and a grocery store as well. The beach is 20 min walk away, a great way to start the day with fresh air, waking through nice neighborhoods.
