In Ibiza, to stay on a budget, go for a hostal: simple places, often family-run, with no pool or restaurant. To help you choose, here is a selection of addresses.
Where to stay in Ibiza without breaking the bank?
What to know about prices:
- The real floor price: most well-rated places cost between €108 and €140 a night for 2 people.
- The best entry-level finds: in Santa Eulària, Hostal Mayol starts at around €93 a night (about €650 for the week).
Area by area:
- Tight budget: San Antonio. This is where you find the best hostales at the best prices (e.g. Hostal Roca, rated 9/10, from €108 a night). Ideal if you like a lively atmosphere.
- No car: Ibiza Town. The best choice to do everything on foot: the port (ferries to Formentera), the buses and the old town (Dalt Vila).
- Families or peace and quiet: Santa Eulària & Es Canar. Perfect for renting an apartment with a kitchen, from €118 a night.
My insider tips:
- Avoid August: prices go up by 20% to 100% compared with June.
- Aim for mid-September: it is still hot and prices are lower than in peak season.
- If you are tied to school holidays, go for late June or early July. It is much less hot than in August and prices are still lower than in peak season. It is a good compromise.
We only kept places rated 8/10 or more on Booking, and checked their prices for the same week for 2 adults, 7 to 14 June 2027 (taxes included, including the Balearic tourist tax). These rates are for comparing places with each other: they change with the booking date.
Ibiza Town and nearby beaches: the practical choice without a car
Staying in Eivissa means having the port, the bus station, the restaurants and the Formentera ferry within walking distance. It is also the area where prices climb fastest as soon as you want a pool or the beach on your doorstep. The 6 places below range from a hostal with a shared bathroom down the corridor to a 3* hotel right on the sand at Talamanca.
Hostal Ripoll (town centre)
1*. This is the cheapest room in the centre among those that pass our filter. The hostal is 30 m from Plaza del Parque. The port, where the ferries to Formentera leave from, is 150 m away (our Ibiza-Formentera ferry guide). Rooms are air-conditioned, simple and tiled.
The bathrooms are shared. For a full week, look at Apartamentos Ripoll instead, on the same street (further down the list).

San Antonio: the widest choice of well-rated hostales
Sant Antoni de Portmany, in the west, has more budget places than the rest of the island put together. It is also where ratings are highest: 3 of the 5 places below score 9/10 or more on Booking. The centre comes alive at night from June to September, between the West End and the sunset bars. Choose the street as carefully as the hotel. If you are a light sleeper, pack earplugs. In season, boats from the port go to Cala Bassa and Cala Comte, so you can manage without a car.

FAQ: cheap hotels in Ibiza
Where to stay cheaply in Ibiza?
In San Antonio and on the east coast, between Santa Eulària and Es Canar. San Antonio has the widest choice of well-rated hostales, from €80 to €280 a night for 2 depending on the season. Santa Eulària and Es Canar are quieter and their prices rise less in August: from €70 to €190. Ibiza Town is still the most practical without a car, with hostales from €80 to €240. To compare areas beyond budget, see our guide on where to stay in Ibiza.
How much does a cheap hotel night cost in Ibiza?
Most rooms rated 8/10 or more on Booking cost between €108 and €140 a night for 2 in June, taxes included. The cheapest in our survey, Hostal Mayol in Santa Eulària, starts at around €93 a night, about €650 for the week. Below these prices, you have to accept a lower rating or a shared bathroom down the corridor.
When is the cheapest time to stay in Ibiza?
Mid-September is the best compromise: it is still hot and prices are lower than in peak season. August is the most expensive month, with prices 20% to 100% higher than in June. Some places only open during the season, such as Hostal Roca, open from May to October.
Cheap hotel in Ibiza in August: how much should you budget?
Expect 20% to 100% more than in June for the same room. The increase is smaller on the east coast: Hostal Mayol goes from about €93 a night in June to €116 in August. Several hostales in San Antonio then go above €170. The cheapest places are also the first to sell out: book several months ahead.
Hostal or hotel: what is the difference in Ibiza?
A hostal is simpler than a hotel, rated 1* or 2* in our selection. Rooms are basic, rarely with a pool or restaurant, sometimes with a shared bathroom down the corridor, as at Hostal Ripoll. It is the cheapest option on the island. The best score over 9/10 on Booking (Hostal Roca, Hostal Cervantes, Can Beia). The Balearic tourist tax is also lower, from May to October: €1 per person per night in a hostal, against €2 in a 1* to 3* hotel.
Can you stay cheaply in Ibiza without a car?
Yes, in Ibiza Town or San Antonio. In Ibiza Town, Hostal Ripoll is 150 m from the port, where the ferries to Formentera leave from. In San Antonio, Hotel Tarba is near the bus station. Boats also run to Cala Bassa and Cala Comte in season. The north-east (Es Figueral, Sant Carles), however, is best explored by car: see our guide getting around Ibiza with or without a car.
Are there cheap aparthotels in Ibiza?
Yes, 3 in our selection, all rated 8.8/10 or more. In Ibiza Town, Apartamentos Ripoll cost €110 to €240 a night for 2. In Santa Eulària, Apartamentos Ebusus cost €100 to €190. In Es Canar, Apartamentos Playa Sol cost €90 to €170. The first 2 have a kitchen in every unit, and some units at Playa Sol have a kitchenette. Over a week, cooking makes up part of the difference with a hostal.
