Hotel berhampiran Plaza de la Vina, Alicante

We arrived very late in the night. The hotel entrance was inviting and the lobby was clean and pretty decent. The hotel check-in staff was very friendly and helpful. She checked us in and even assisted us with getting a hot meal despite how late it was. We then proceeded to find our room. The first thing we noticed was that the hallway on the floor was poorly lit, but we were tired so we jut cheked for our room and went it. On entering the room, it smelt unpleasant. There was a smell of old dust. We then went inside the bathroom. That was an awful experience. The toilet had dried urination stains, the shower vent was filled with dust and the bathroom wasn't fresh. We then tried to turn on the television and it wouldnt work. We called the front desk and the check-in staff offered to come to our room. She broguth a new remote to asisst with the television. We complained about the room and asked if we could be moved. She said the room we got was for disabled persons and hadnt been used in a while ( which was obvious) but it also wasnt clean. She offered to try and get us into a new room the next day for which we were grateful. We tried to endure but had trouble sleeping because the air conditioner was filled with dust. We eventually fell asleep and by the net morning I couldnt breathe. My nose was stuffy and I felt like i was choking on dust. We decided to just check out early and find another place as at this point we just had enough. We checked out and were told that we would receive a refund for the remaining nights we did not stay. We booked for 3 nights and stayed for 1. A week after we checked out , we receievd an email stating that they will not refund the nights that we did not stay without valid explanation. Highly disappointing! Defintiely won't go back.

I spent 5 nights here in the beginning of January 2023. For people with healthy legs, the hotel is a walking distance away from the Alicante city centre. The location is a little bit hidden down a hill; be prepared to go down and up some stairs during your stay. Otherwise the location was not that awkward in my opinion as some people have commented. Lovely sea views, the sunrises and sunsets were amazing. Very importantly, don't trust Google Maps GPS too much when you approach the hotel from the city centre via the avenue Villajoyosa! At least for me Maps placed the hotel somewhere inside the big mountain nearby, which was obviously incorrect. So if Maps does the same to you, keep walking, there will be hotel signs further the Villajoyosa avenue. The hotel was pretty good for a 3 star hotel, a tad luxurious even. It had everything needed. Gym, tennis court, pool (not open in the Winter months), restaurant, 24 h reception. Very helpful staff and good cleaning. No coffee/tea making facilities or a fridge inside the rooms, but you can request them for free from the reception. Breakfast was okay, nothing special, loved the views in the cafeteria though! There were some issues with my room, but the staff promptly took action and changed my room from a standard to a superior one. The standard room was a bit chilly, and in the superior room you could hear people's conversations in other rooms. But no biggie, I could sleep just fine. All in all, it was a very good stay for a 3 star hotel! I didn't expect too much and was pleasantly surprised.

Très bien, hormis les chambres qui sont un peu sombres et pas très bien isolées (bruit de la rue audible)

Terdapat banyak pilihan untuk sarapan pagi, dan cuba buat sarapan yang sesuai untuk Asia. Tapi MARIAS SPA sebelah tu tak jauh bezanya, tapi harga dia mahal sikit. Memandangkan hotel peranginan terletak bersebelahan dengan pantai awam, bertentangan dengan Kasino. Keseluruhannya masih ok.

We always stay at the Areca when we visit Spain and fly from Alicante. Very convenient for overnight stay for either an early departure or late arrival. Rooms are good, food is good for breakfast (bit limited) but very good for evening meal. Have upgraded a couple of times but in my opinion not worth it as the upgrade room is looking a bit tired. Staff are lovely, and if you have a hire car, there is parking underneath, (lift to rooms). Parking outside is usually easy, but handling cases up the steep steps can be difficult. If you don't have a hire car, they organise transport to the airport at a reasonable rate.

Only an overnight stay before our morning flight back to uk. We wanted somewhere within walking distance to the city centre and with parking. The hotel was easy to find with free parking, and also a 15 min easy walk to the bars and restaurants in the centre. In the morning we had an easy 10 minute drive to the airport. Our room and bathroom were a bit dated but clean and comfortable which is all we required. We didn’t eat in the hotel but had a couple of drinks out on the terrace when we returned to the hotel in the evening. Given its location and free parking we would certainly visit again.

Really lovely accommodation — easy to get to from the airport (the C6 bus is a life saver!) and walking distance to the centre and to the beach. The pool is nice and there was a variety of seating options (sun loungers, comfy armchairs, tables and chairs). Overall, a great stay.

Me dieron una habitación en primer piso que daba justo debajo una barraca de hogueras con musica a gran volumen hasta la madrugada, con lo cual no he podido descansar, que era para lo que me quede en Alicante y no volvi el mismo dia a Valencia, y aunque lo comunique no me dieron ninguna solucion, la respuesta ”es lo que hay” por lo que si voy otra vez en estas fechas buscare otro
