What visitors say
★★★★★“Friendly Staff, 24h reception, we arrived very late around midnight and the reception was there. It is close to a beach and a tram stop that goes to the city. It is nice if you like to escape the city center and be closer to the beach. The room is spacious. No refrigerator though.Overall I was satisfied and would stay there again.”
★★★★★“The hotel is located in a residential area beneath a block of flats, which wasn’t obvious from the photos or description when booking. The reception staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. When we experienced an ant problem in our room, they provided ant spray and a broom so we could deal with the issue ourselves. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and nicely presented. Unfortunately, there were several drawbacks. The food in the restaurant was very bland and lacked flavour. The swimming pool is located some distance away, requiring guests to walk outside past approximately 10 tennis courts to reach it. There is no pool bar, and drinks must be ordered via WhatsApp. In our experience, messages either went unanswered or we were told the service was closed. There is no sandy beach nearby. Instead, there are rocks with access to the sea for swimming. Guests should also be aware that there are very few restaurants within easy walking distance. The surrounding area is quite hilly, with steep inclines making walks longer and more challenging, especially in the heat. Overall, the hotel has some positives, particularly the helpful staff and clean rooms, but the location, limited facilities, ant issue, and lack of nearby amenities would make me think carefully before returning.”
★★★★★“Nice quiet Hotel right next to the shore. Very helpful and polite staff. Free parking in three public parking lots. Clean rooms with AC, deluxe rooms with balcony facing the sea. A little bit outside of the city center. The hotel is located in the bottom three floors of a big apartment building, so the outside appearance is not like a flashy 5 star tourist hotel. It is rather large and has access to a gym and a pool as well as tennis courts. The breakfast is delicious and plenty. The breakfast area doubles as a modestly priced restaurant for lunch and dinner and also this food is delicious. Google maps is directing you nicely to the hotel and there are direction signs at the main roads although the hotel is located on a quiet side street and a bit unintuitively to find. Good spot as a base for exploring Alicante and the surroundings. There also seems to be a scuba dive shop/base just next door.”
★★★★★“Great value for money. In a great location on the tram line. The hotel is has great facilities used the huge pool which was fantastic. The staff are amazing and very polite and helpful. There is a beautiful sandy beach nearby. Love the local Spanish feel to this hotel. I would definitely return.”
