Mary, Alicante

Mary is a small, no-frills stay in Alicante, Spain, located on Calle Benasau, 50, planta 21. It suits solo explorers and couples who want a straightforward base, with the practical benefit of free wired internet for planning days out or catching up on work. Check-in runs from 12:00 to 14:00, and check-out is at 11:00, so it’s best to plan your arrival and departure around those times.

The terrace is the standout quiet spot here, giving you somewhere to step outside without needing to travel far. Inside, the property is non-smoking throughout, which many guests appreciate for a cleaner-feeling stay. The overall guest rating is 6/10 from just three reviews, so expectations should be modest; some visitors mention that the experience can feel limited compared with bigger hotels, while others value the basic comfort and the ability to stay connected.

From this part of Alicante, you’re within an easy reach of Postiguet Beach (about 1.5 km) and the city’s central food scene at Mercado Central (about 1.1 km). If you’re up for a climb, Castillo de Santa Bárbara is around 2 km away and is one of the area’s best-known viewpoints. For a classic city stroll, the Explanada de España is roughly 1.4 km and works well for an evening walk.

If you’re looking for a calm, no-nonsense base with a terrace and reliable wired internet, Mary can fit the bill; if you want lots of on-site services or a consistently high review profile, you may want to compare alternatives.
