The second-cheapest option in this selection is La Lonja, a 2-star in the centre from €24 a night. But the true bargain pick is Hotel Goya, also 2-star, at a remarkably low €22. For a budget holiday, these central locations put you right in the middle of the action—steps from the tapas bars and a short walk to the sea. If you want a hotel that still feels like a proper holiday, La Milagrosa at €126 is a 2-star that punches above its weight with a rooftop terrace and stellar 8.5 rating.
Based on the options here, you can expect to pay around €77 a night on average. However, you can find rooms for as little as €22 at Hotel Goya for a truly budget stay, or spend a bit more for a highly rated pick like B&B Hotel Alicante Centro at €77.
For a first visit, stay in the old town or city center. Hotels like La Lonja and Hotel Cervantes, with rates from €24 and €32, put you close to the beach, the castle, and the best restaurants. You can walk everywhere, which is a great way to feel the city's pulse.
If you choose a hotel near the airport, like the B&B Hotel Alicante Aeropuerto, it's a matter of minutes by taxi or bus. For hotels in the center, the C-6 bus runs regularly from the airport to the main bus station and city center. Some properties also offer easy access to the train station for onward travel.
Very much so. Many of the budget hotels are within walking distance of the Postiguet Beach or offer a quick tram ride to the lively Playa de San Juan. Examples include San Remo, at €35 and steps from the beach, and Hotel Castilla Alicante, which is a short stroll from San Juan and from €183.
Alicante is a city where budget doesn't have to mean boring. The cheapest stays cluster in the historic centre around the Central Market and the tram stops, where you can find simple, spotless rooms for under €40 a night. Many of these are guesthouses (hostales) rather than classic hotels, and they're ideal if you plan to spend your days on the beach or exploring the old town's tapas bars.
As you move away from the centre, the budget hotels get quieter — and often come with perks like free parking or a pool. The airport strip has its own cluster of affordable, well-rated hotels, perfect for overnight stops. What unites these properties is their focus on the essentials: clean rooms, a good location, and a price that leaves you with money to enjoy the city.
This collection is for travellers who want a clean, safe base without the unnecessary extras, and who prioritise location over luxury. There's a pick for every sub-style: the ultra-budget guesthouse in the old town, the no-frills stay near the airport for an overnight stop, and the slightly pricier 3-star with a pool that feels like a proper holiday. If you need more space, look at the Aparthotels page; if you want guaranteed amenities like a spa or a pool, check the Spa hotels or the Hotels with indoor pool pages. Families might be better served on the Family Friendly hotels page, and beach lovers should see the Beach hotels page for options that are all about boardwalk access.
