The best available hotels & places to stay near Alicante

September 9, 2022 Darleen Reid

From urban beaches to epic nightlife, Alicante offers a Mediterranean mix of action and relaxation. Add in a palm-lined esplanade snaking along the harbor and a Moorish castle looming above, and it’s one of the most dynamic spots on Spain’s sun-drenched Costa Blanca.

Great Seaview

Reviewed By PaulT1965

My organization used this hotel for conference delegates to stay and for dinner (conference being at EUIPO). I had a room with an incredible view. The room was nice and airy with balcony. Pity no free milk for coffee. Restaurant was pleasant with nice corner plot with lots of natural light. The food was good if not spectacular. Service excellent though disappointed not to get free late check in after staying 3 days and bringing so much business to the hotel.

Occidental Alicante

This is our third visit

Reviewed By TripFiction

The location of this hotel is great, good for getting to the old quarter, beach and Central Market and also if you are coming from the airport, there is a stop nearby. We have stayed here now for the third time. Since our last stay it has had a refurb which has brightened the place. The staff members are helpful and friendly and so it's all good. I do however have comments about the refurb and especially the room we were given - 807. My goodness, they have jammed the (very comfortable) two beds in next to each other, in a cramped space, that means you have to virtually crawl over one bed to get to the other. There is a small space to shimmy past at the bottom of the beds but you risk shouldering the TV on the wall. So this really is not great and we know that that this is an exception because other rooms are not cramped. In the bathroom - which was a good size - you risk standing on the door stopper, screwed into to the floor which I can tell you is very painful and previous occupants' toothpaste splatter is still to be seen on the (wipeable?) painted wall above the basin. Apart from this, it's all ok. but I think the hotel is not doing itself any favours offering a room like this.

Who let the dogs out? ?

Reviewed By Allan A

Voff voff …. The location of this hotel is great BUT all I can remember after our stay was : - dogs and more dogs - heard every noise from the neighbor rooms (???) Did I really pay for 2 nights in a dog hotel with paper thin walls? Snoring, barking, knocking, singing - what a lovely orchestra! This hotel frustrated me because it can be such a great place to stay, but I have no desire to return.

Not bad, but with 2 major issues

Reviewed By 491johnnyf

The way I would describe this hotel is “you get what you pay for” the rooms are fairly cheap so don’t expect luxury. The rooms are tired and very dated. We booked a superior room which had a tv and small fridge if you wanted to put drinks in there. No iron or tea/coffee machine, no water or mini bar etc… no extra pillows or anything like that although I’m sure if you asked at reception they would have obliged with anything you needed. My 2 biggest issues with this hotel though, that everyone should be aware of. 1. Do not expect to get any sleep at all, ever! We were on the 9th floor and thanks to the “furniture moving olympics” which took place every night between 1am and 6am you will not get any sleep. I’m not sure if the staff clean the rooms or what during the night but my wife and I had to sleep with headphones in listening to music or podcast it was so bad. 2. The worst issue. - I’m not sure if there is a problem with the drains or the sewage but the smell was sometimes overpowering, it was raw sewage and the hallways and at some points our room stunk to high heavens! From reading other reviews here I see other guests have had similar issues. The rooms were cleaned daily and fresh towels etc… also we never had a problem with hot water or anything like that. Over bath shower with a rain shower head. For the price we paid, I’d say it is what it is. Last year we stayed at the far more superior Melia hotel not too far away but that was more expensive.

We stayed here only for one night on our trip back from Valencia. Our flight back home was from Alicante aorport. Nice hotel, good size rooms and good air condition . About 10 minute walk to the restaurants at the harbour front and approx the same to train station. Only a few minutes walk to the air shuttle bus stop (C6 line) it leave every 20 minutes and only 10-15minutes ride to the airport.

Half term holiday

Reviewed By annasmullard

Stayed at this hotel before first time in 2015 the hotel was ok. Although it needed a bit of TLC. Came back again 7 years later to find the place needing even more TLC the hotel needs a huge revamp now. The bathrooms shower could do with big shower heads. The pool needs new sun beds as the ones they have at the moment they are a completely pile of trash along with the sun umbrellas which they lack of and the few ones they have are mostly broken. Upstairs the pool the sunbathing area needs a good seeing to too. I won’t be put off at staying at this hotel as the staff are very friendly and the amenity ain’t far from it. We had a good time the first time and again this time too the only problem is that it needs a bit of money spend on on a few things. Apart from that we had a good stay Thank you Maya hotel

Tired old hotel

Reviewed By JaneMUK

The rooms are very dated and need renovating. The rooms are also uncomfortably hot. There is a window to open however there are extensive building works going on right outside the hotel with drilling and traffic noise a constant late into the evening and from early morning. I would not recommend this hotel
