About

Hotel Smile & Co Hostal Boutique

Hotel Smile & Co Hostal Boutique sits on C/ Rafael Terol, a quiet street that puts you within an easy walk of Alicante's main sights. The Central Market is 11 minutes away on foot, the marina is close, and the beach is accessible without a long trek. With a 9.5 rating from 1,820 reviews, it's clear the hotel's small scale and attentive service resonate with guests.

The hotel keeps things simple but done well: rooms are described as modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, many with balconies or a private terrace. Breakfast is freshly prepared each morning, and the owners, Cristian and Audrey, are repeatedly called out for going out of their way to make guests feel at home. It's a personal, unhurried kind of stay that suits travellers who prefer character over chain-hotel anonymity.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Modest breakfast spread — A few guests describe the breakfast as limited in variety, though they add it is lovingly prepared and freshly made.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive late or with a delayed flight.
  • Small hotel, limited facilities — As a hostal boutique, the property has a compact scale—there's no gym, pool, or restaurant on site, and the offering is intentionally simple.
  • Potential street noise — Located on a central street close to bars and restaurants, light sleepers might notice some noise in the evenings, though no specific complaints appear in reviews.
