Hotel berhampiran Elche/Elx Carrus, Elche

My first visit, and I will definitely return with family when next visiting the area. It’s a great location for enjoying the delights of Elche, from the UNESCO site through to welcoming restaurants and bars. The rooms are comfortable, everywhere is stylishly decorated and absolutely clean. The breakfast is good quality and wide choice. Above all, the staff are superb - they are friendly, welcoming and very helpful.

Persekitaran hotel indah, biliknya sederhana dan tenang, sesuai untuk percutian Kelemahannya ialah kipas pengudaraan penyaman udara sangat bising, kipas pengudaraan bilik mandi dihidupkan, dan bunyi TV tidak dapat didengar secara langsung. Nasib baik, malam kami pergi ke sana tidak terlalu panas dan semuanya dimatikan.

Basic hotel in an industrial zone. Clean, basic and comfortable. Easy access to the motorway. Some limited amenities within 10 minutes walk.

The good... STAFF The staff at reception and in the restaurant were very very friendly. CLEANLINESS The reception area was very tidy and the pool area seemed pleasant enough. The room was also very clean on check-in. MINIBAR The minibar was well stocked with a selection of CocaCola beverages and snacks though don't get caught out as they charge 2.25 EUR an item on checkout. I was bed and breakfast only, so minibar items might be included in other boards. I'm not too sure there. The bad.... AIRCONDITIONG While the room was clean, it was absolutely boiling on check-in. Warmer than the corridors or reception. I don't mind this usually so long as you can cool the room quickly, but unfortunately the air-con was terrible. I'm not joking when I say it took over an hour to get the room down to a bearable temperature. Continuing the theme of the air-con, during the night a ceiling panel fell out from the bathroom with an almighty crash. There was water absolutely everywhere. I can only presume the air-conditionings poor ability to cool the room was related to the fact it's pipework was clogged. The unit had expelled moisture out into the ceiling void and it must've simply given way. Fortunately, the bathroom was a wet-room so thankfully I could push most of that moisture into the drains with the towels. This is not what you expect when you want a restful sleep. PIPEWORK On the theme of plumbing, anytime anyone took a shower, or flushed the toilet on the floor above it made a right racket through the pipework. I live in an apartment block back home and I am used to this kind of thing, but this was on another level. SHOWER The water pressure was great, which is a positive, but it was too much for the shower head that seemed more interested in washing the ceiling than my body. Anytime you set it pointing at you it quickly flipped upwards to spray over the walls and ceiling. I ended up holding it to shower. BREAKFAST Breakfast was advertised throughout all promotional materials as starting from 0700, but it did not open until 0730. Given the lack of sleep I had I did not have the energy to raise that with the management. I had enough time to grab a pastry or two before getting my taxi. === I wasn't overly impressed after a poor night. I did not raise these items with reception because I was so tired after a day in the Spanish heat that I simply wanted to crash for the night. My employer also paid for this room. If I was staying beyond a single night I would have said something! I would've certainly spoken up if I'd paid my own money for a night here.

Hotel con habitaciones aceptables. Su vienes un día o dos no es mala opción pero para más días no lo recomiendo. El desayuno no lo cogais con el hotel, os recomiendo que desayunos incluso en la gasolinera de enfrente, dado que en este hotel, te cobran 8,50 por un desayuno con zumo de maquina (asqueroso), bollería y pan congelado, embutidos en barra y café aguachirri y con muy mal sabor. Otra característica a destacar el el gym, poco para elegir, pocas pesas y poco peso y sin aire acondicionado, por lo que en una plata -1 te puede dar un apechusque, menos mal que es el típico gimnasio de saco un par de fotos y las cuelgo por que es nefasto. En resumen, si os quedáis un día ok, para familia o amigos o más de dos días hay pensiones mejores.

It is always a pleasure to stay at Ibis Elche. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The air-conditioned rooms are clean and well maintained with free Wi-Fi. Reasonably priced underground car park is a bonus in this busy area. Highly recommended.

Good location not too far from the freeway and airport. The breakfast is very complete, and the dinner leaves nothing to be desired. Spacious rooms with mini bar and free WIFI. The staff are friendly and accommodating. What's more, underground parking is free. Perfect for a stopover on your way south.

Be aware that you need to walk 380 m via a very light weigh foot bridge across the highway to get to the hotel if you arrive from South and driving towards Alicante/Alicante Airport. When you are driving after “Maps” it will direct you to a small local access road under the highway - but the road is in quite bad conditions and it leads you to a locked gate. The hotel announces that you can park - but that is on the other side of the highway - and with the 380 meters walk. Customer service of no use.
