I was surprised how small the room was but as a solo traveler it was fit for purpose. On the plus side I did have a terrace with seat and a table. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard which I was happy with. The breakfast was exceptional with lots of choices and a glass of cava which was a nice treat. Excellent position for shopping, restaurants and the beach, Thank you very much for a lovely service and hospitality.

I asked for my safety deposit box to be fixed - it never was over the 4 night stay - very inconvenient as had to carry my valuables around with me. The air con didn’t work (again this was ignored) and in the muddle of the night the fridge started making a ridiculous noise!

It was very convenient for city smenities. Room was clean with huge bed. No views to speak of but it was cooled by air con- needed. I asked for a kettle which was delivered to my room but maybe that could already be included. Staff friendly. Didn’t try breakfast so cannot comment on that

Nice hotel in a central position. Nice lobby & staff. Family room had a smaller 1st room with the potential for 2 single beds & then a lovely large king size plus bed & a shower room. The beds were comfortable but the truckle bed under the single hadn’t been cleaned & wipes were hidden behind the long curtains. There was also a gadget that sounded like a coffee machine in the bathroom that kept going off every 20 mins. We only needed to stay 1 night. It isn’t the type of hotel to stay for more than 2 nights. The view was to an internal “courtyard”. Aircon worked ok. We ate out so can’t comment on the restaurant.

Such a great little hotel!! Staff is super kind and helpful. We loved being right off the main drag and close to the Mercado. Lots of great storage for unpacking all your staff. No big deal but they do not have laundry service as advertised. They recommended a laundry mat up the road that had fast machines so it worked out just fine!

Room at the back where the view was the window of the room opposite so we never felt able to open the blind. Good thing was that it was very quiet with no noise from outside so overall we were happy and will stay again.

Great location and big bed!
Hotel was great for location - short walk to access lots of restaurants, bars, shops and the beach. We had a huge, comfortable bed and the room had everything we needed. The only thing you need to be careful with is that the door is fully closed and locked. We came back 2 days running where the door could be opened without our key card after room attendants had been in there and if I hadn’t have checked the door when leaving, I would have done this myself too.

I have just returned from a 3 night stay at this property having visited many hotels in Alicante. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were fantastic. The bed and pillows are probably the most comfortable I've ever slept in! Breakfast, although slightly confusing for someone from Scotland (There was a lot of cooked vegetables. I don't understand that!), was fantastic. There is a mixture of breads, sandwiches, yogurts, cereal as well as bacon, eggs beans etc. Absolutely something for everyone. The room although small had everything I needed and again was spotless and well decorated. The room had an amazing shower which was very relaxing after a day of wandering around. The only downside to this property (for some) is that it is located directly across from a pub which goes on until 3 or 4 in the morning at the weekend. It is very noisy at the front of the hotel. In all honesty, this didn't bother me as I was in another pub until 4am so it was quiet by the time I returned. I would certainly return to this hotel without hesitation, but if you are not on holiday for the nightlife, you might have an issue with rooms at the front of the property.
