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.

This is a nice hotel near the Mercado in central Alicante. The staff is professional and welcoming. Rooms don’t have even a city view, but they’re comfortable. The area is interesting and lively.

Location location location.
Perfect for stopping over for a concert in the bullring and to explore the City Centre. Staff was very helpful on checking in, as I hadn’t noticed the the Hotels.com app had again defaulted my booking to a single person, when I booked for 2. I have struggled with the app changing this and my dates (defaulting the date and duration of stay back to the night I was making the booking). Please be careful to triple check your details before paying. Hotels.com are great value but the app is so frustrating. Room was clean but tight, breakfast was brilliant. Was lovely and quite in room, especially as the hotel was in a nightlife area. Brilliant air conditioning too Thad added up to a perfect sleep.

Very disappointing for a 4-star hotel
Had a larger family-style room. Positives: breakfast was great; main bed was comfortable; nice location. But then the negatives: very awkward room layout (kids have to come through main bedroom to use bathroom); only 1 towel hook for the whole family; floors were somehow lumpy?!; only 1 tiny trash can for the suite; shower leaks massively into the bathroom leaving you with sopping wet towels from drying it up and nowhere to put them; some kind of system beeps from inside the walls ALL NIGHT LONG [we joked there was sonar in there]; key cards repeatedly stopped working; airco barely turns on - there are notes about local policies establishing the limits for the thermostat but then at least put fans in the rooms. No airco and just stuffy stale air with no means to actually cool off. I was there in May - can't imagine how bad it would get by the middle of summer. Door handles are a poor design with sharp edges in narrow spaces leading to more than one minor injury. Would not stay again.
