“Good.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

This Hotel is very good. nothing fancy, nothing luxurious but very well located and clean. mine (#502) was a very spacious room with a very large terrace. we have dined one night sitting on the terrace. Wifi works perfectly. Parking is really free and on site. The stuff is not so "happy and friendly" but it's ok. rooms are not overlooking the beach but i think it is better otherwsie they would be too noisy. maybe during thte summer this palce (the hotel, all the hotel and the San Juan plage) must be very "crowded" and noisy. In november i have enjoyed it, the beach is really beautiful.

Room Tip: ask rooms at the end of the corridor the ones with the big terrace. the others along the corridor ha...

“One night comfortable stay....exceeded expectations for price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

We stayed here for just one night as we were flying out of Spain from Alicant (had been staying in Valencia for the MotoGP). This was a cheap hotel but it far exceeded our expectations for its price. The girl on the reception was very helpful with directions to the airport, where to eat and where to park our hire car. The room was very clean, a good size, great hot powerful shower. We had a balcony, overlooking the pool and the sea a little way off. Definitely would come back here for a quiet family holiday. Not at all what I expected. Thought it would be roudy and common but it wasn't at all. Breakfast included and was good.

Room Tip: We stayed in room 210 which was not too high up and overlooked the pool. Nice and quiet

“Very nice, inexpensive hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

I found the hotel excellent. Room a good size and comfortable. Staff helpful & spoke English. Breakfasts excellent including scrambled egg & bacon. We had 2 dinners in the hotel and the food was fine. Our room was on the 8th floor (our request) and we had a side sea view from the balcony. Location great - near an excellent beach with promenade, lots of shops and restaurants nearby, quiet and felt safe, bus and tram to Alicante pass hotel entrance and costs €1.25 each way to town centre (20 mins). This isn't a buzzing town centre location, more residential which we preferred. Excellent restaurant Los Charros nearby for a special occasion.


The only problem we found was that the restaurants in the vicinity open for dinner at 8.30pm - 9pm. This is normal for Spain but later than we wanted to eat. Many restaurants in Alicante are open at all hours so it is easy to eat before returning to the hotel. In fact we ate a couple of times in the hotel since they would serve the dinner menu in the bar from 8pm (the dining room opened at 8.30pm). Can't put bar / restaurant on the hotel tab but can pay by card.

Room Tip: Based on other reviews, we requested 8th floor & had side sea view. As an added "bonus"...

“great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

A block away from the beach, a bus stop in front of the hotel, a metro stop nearby. It was great to have a balcony with a table and chairs, from which we could sort of view the sea. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was a surprise to us that there was not a fridge/minibar in the room, nor was there a hairdryer! Also, although this is a beach town and the hotel has a pool, they do not have a towel service for use at the pool or beach!
They do have a snack bar and restaurant, good but a bit pricey. But there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Wifi was a bit spotty.

Room Tip: take the bus into the old town and visit the Castillo. The views from up there are stunning.

I strongly recommend to all categories of travelers!
