Hostal Anibal

A group of 10 of us have just got back from a 7 night stay at this hotel. All in all I think this is a good little place to stay if you want to keep costs down in getting to Ibiza as its very expensive when you get there! The only issue we had was on arrival the reception guy was a little stressed as lots of people turned up at the same time and it was 4 in the morning so I had to show him who was staying where and when but as soon as he understood it was fine, he does have a metal pole which they use to keep trouble makers away which does work and I felt really safe there becuase they don't take any rubbish from drunk holiday makers! It is a little over the top at times but if you are polite and friendly to them they give you the same respect back. Hotel is very clean with our rooms being cleaned each day and the pool area was good with good food if you just want a snack. It is basic but for £13 a night what else can you expect! The only thing I was dissapointed in was the location, its advertised as 5 mins from Eden which its not really, it takes 10-15 mins to get to Eden walking and its on the wrong side so its not really in all the action, but on the plus side we managed to get a bit of sleep at least becuase of this! It is however only 5 mins walk from Linekers bar. Some reviews have said this is a noisey place to stay but I really didn't think it was - not compared to the hotels above bars. We didn't have aircon but as our room was over the front of the hotel it got no sun all day so wasn't that hot when we wanted to sleep anway, we didn't need to hire a an but this could have had something to do with the time of year aswell. Overall its a good place for the price.

Just got back from Hostal Anibal after a five night stay. Found the room clean but basic. Me and my boyfriend had paid for self catering, thinking we would get self catering facilities but there was only a wardrobe and dressing table. I was expecting at least a fridge as we could of paid for room only but paid extra for self catering when we got room only. When we asked at reception the man spoke little english and said "no fridge this is a hostal you contact the travel agents". The towels were changed every day and the beds were made. We paid extra to have air con which was 8 euros a day but you really needed it. I didnt find it too noisy except when people let their doors slam which was really loud and woke you up in the night. It was a short walk to bay bar and bar M about 5-10 mins. The pool was small but nice.

Cheap hotel, clean, nice pool area and freindly bar staff. Very unfriendly front of house staff! Didn't have a room for us with air-con, and charged us an extra 60 euros as we checked in early in the morning! Is a 15 min walk from San An centre. Better off staying in Playa D'en Bossa to be nearer to all of the clubs as taxis are hard to come by!

Its cheap not good value, you can expect the walls to be wafer thin, with bomb like explosions errupting everytime a door closes. If you hate sleep this is the perfect place for you! Yeah its clean apart from a pool of beer that was left outside our door for 2 days and the dirty pool. 10 mins from the bars? I dont think so. Make sure you bring your own soap, shower gel etc as this is not provided, no phone, no TV and depending on how he feels the manager could charge you 20,30,40 or even 50 euros extra for aircon. Make sure you Iron your clothes or you could be waiting a long time for the 1 iron the hotel has. I know its cheap, but spend a little extra and stay at Marco polo, puchet or arcomar all of which are excellent and cheap, THATS GOOD VALUE.

Close enough to the action but far enough away if you don't want it!! Basic but clean, friendly staff 24/7. EXCELLENT value for money.

Good clean bathrooms, but bring your ear-plugs! The corridors echo and you can hear everything ... Great if you are a heavy sleeper. Good location within walking distance to San An.

We chose the Hostal Annibal, basically because it was the cheapest available. We were all pleasantly suprised, the staff were fairly friendly, offered good security at night times and the facilities were great for the money...a nice pool with bar doing basic food, lockable safes for hire and rooms cleaned daily. Just a short walk form the action but far enough away to escape (most) noise when you craved sleep!

Very nice little place to stay, very clean, rooms cleaned daily and clean towels. Staff great with you if you ok with them. As others have said, can be noisy, but what do you expect in Ibiza. Pool area ok, no rush to get beds !! can be noisy by pool as described by others, some guests drinking and shouting all day, didnt bother us to much, who goes to the white island for sleep. All in all a very good place to stop, 10 minutes from beach, 20 from west end. Would def go back, very good value for money.

The hostal anibal was a great find for our holiday in san antonio. Set back off the main road, about 15 minutes out of the West End, it's in a quiet location but not too far from the action. If you are travelling in the height of summer, it's worth paying the extra 40 euros for a room with air con - well worth it! The Spanish staff were friendly and maids cleaned our room and replaced the towels every day. Yes, the walls are thin, doors bang and noise travels - but take some ear plugs and you'll be fine! Just one thing to watch out for - if you're getting a taxi from the airport make sure the driver takes you to the right Anibal in San Antonio Bahia - ours dropped us at 2am outside the residence Anibal in the heart of the West End. It was only thanks to the sympathy of a group of locals that we eventually found where we were meant to be! Overall, though if you want a budget holiday in good-value accommodation, look no further than the Hostal Anibal. We've already started planning our next trip...

A very cheap hotel. Quite a bargin really. We were charged an extra 7 euros a night for air conditioning- its well worth it. The walls are really thin so sound travels easy. Don't expect a quiet night. I wouldn't recommend breakfast, all it is breadrolls and fruit juice. The location is good. Close to the bay beach and about 20 mins from sanantonio town. The pool is ok, but cloudy with a layre of suntan oil on top. There is never a rush for sunloungers as everyone gets up about 2pm. Very clean. The maids come everyday to give fresh towels. Erm... all in all its a great cheap hotel for a group holiday. We had a great time. But i felt sorry for the families and older couples (50yrs+) who had to put up with the larger louts around the pool. We found the older staff very friendly and they liked it when you made an attempt to speak spanish. the younger members of staff were rather rude. One huge downside that our balcony didnt lock. So never felt very safe. This was the case in our friends room too. Over all cheap and cheerful place to stay in ibiza :-)

Cheap,very clean,and a good location,sums this place up. Not a place for peace and quiet though,although far enough away from the bars,the people staying there will def be the party type,so undisturbed early nights are a def no go,but then who crashes before the early hours when in Ibiza(even a old man like myself crawled in at 6 every morning!) Pool a decent size,but does get busy,food so so,but breakfast not really worth it,although is cheap as i guess. Oh and whatever you do,pay extra and try and land a air con room,didnt myself,and regretted it big time!

Really cannot complain for price we paid! Rooms were tidy and cleaned everyday with fresh towels. Quite spacious with a decent sized bathroom aswell. Situtated in a nice location just outside the main drag only a 10 min walk to the beach and about a 20 to the west end. Nice selection of food on offer at the bar. The pool is pretty basic but can play your music round the pool area as they have a sound system. Probably the only downfall to the hotel were the staff. We found them unhelpful and ignorant. Didn't see any families there just young groups. Overall id defo recommend to any groups on a budget just looking for somewhere to get clean and get there head down!

What a great cheap hotel in San An.  Far enough out of town to get some sleep and avoid the stench of vomit, close enough to walk to the taxi rank and Sunset Strip.  Clean, basic accomodation, good pool and bar/cafe.  What more do you need?

David Titterton, Liverpool/England

The service was excellent, the room was clean, and the beer was cheap.  If you had run out of energy from lying on the beach in San Antonio, you could always hop up to the hotel and have a cold beer by the pool.  The only down sides were that the walls were thin(who wants to sleep in Ibiza?) and the breakfast rolls were a little on the chewy side.  But at the price we paid there is no complaining about these things!  Excellent!

What a great place! Don't be put off by the term 'Hostel', our stay was as good as any hotel.Towels changed and maid service every day, Air con is available in some rooms at 50e a wk, which is welcome relief! Cheap snack bar and helpful staff, a short walk to nearby Spar supermarket on main road. Both San An town and Bay are within walking distance. Only minor problem is no lifts, which makes moving luggage a bit tricky! Pool area is relaxed and clean. I would recommend it to young couples or groups.

Did not know where we were going as my mum had booked it for me and friend. I was very impressed with all the facilities, how friendly the owners were. We had a very fantastic time and would like to thank you for putting this hostal on your web site. Would defintley book with you again and will go back here when we go back to ibiza.

Thank you again for a wonderful holiday.
