Castilla Alicante  

Friendly helpful staff; good location for beach, bars, restaurants etc.

Would have liked tea/coffee facilities in room.

Front desk staff was friendly. Clean and comfortable room. Close to beach and tram, bus stops. Many shops and cafes nearby. 24H7d food shop in 2 steps. Mercadona (supermarket) in approx. 1 kilometers.

There was no hairdryer. Weak signal wi-fi in room.

I was plesantly surprised by this hotel. Its location was great - located on a quiet street on a little strip of shops just back from the beach. It was good to step outside the hotel and find bars, restaurants and the seaside so close by. There was ample parking around and it felt like a very safe area. The hotel wasn't luxurious, but the rooms were clean, well-maintained and large. My room had a balcony overlooking the pool and gardens. Breakfast wasn't flashy, but they did a good job. For the price paid, this was a good little hotel and I would go back again.

Its not a luxurious hotel, but for a seaside holiday it was a good choice. When I was there it was out-of-season, so it wasn't very crowded, but I got the feeling that it would be overrun with package tours in summer.

Close to a very clean beatiful beach, nice rooms, good service and a good cleaning of the room. Friendly staff. Second time there, we will proabably be back.

Very nice hotel, clean and comfortable rooms. Excellent location with some sea view, with the beautiful beach was just 100 m away. Bus and Tram to the center right outside the hotel. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Excellent service. Easy free parking. Very good value for money, Better than 3-star hotels in general.

Some limited breakfast.

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 but it suited us fine. 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.

Good budget hotel with great transport links via the tram

Bathroom a bit tired and rooms require sound proofing.

All round great hotel, would use it again.

Pool could be warmer...

Staff was very friendy and helpful. It's 50 mtrs to beautiful sandy San Juan Beach. A lot of bars, restaurants and shops around hotel. In front of the hotel is bus stop and about 200 mtrs from hotel a Tram Station. By bus or buy train it's 25 to 30 minutes to city center. Overally easy access to city center. Quite large and clean rooms with balcony and view on the part of the sea. Next time I'll choose the same hotel.

1) Breakfast is only from 8 A.M. to 10.30 A.M. 2) Water in swimming pool is not heated so it's quite cold. 3) On Saturday was wedding party in the hotel. Was very loud and impossible to sleep. Wedding was finished at 1 A.M. Besides that I suggest you to see the wedding - a lot of hot girls and handsome guys ;)

The friendliness of the staff and always very helpful and spoke English. We were able to relax on the balcony with no rush of having to leave room for cleaner. The Bar food was very good on the two occasions we used it. Pool side area very clean and relaxing. Because of the time of year the surrounding areas were very quiet which was lovely.

The pool water was freezing which was a shame.
