The staff (the lady in the reception) was very kind and friendly and ensure that we had the best experience in the city. She guided us through the places to visit . The location is perfect and is two minutes walk to Playa del Postiguet and 7 mins walk to the old city. There are many restaurants nearby and we could choose from many options. Must stay in this hotel. If someday we return to Alicante, we would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location in the heart of the city, very close to the marina, the castle, and all attractions. At the same time, a rather quiet street so I was not disturbed by any noise. The room was very clean and comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful.
