I booked this hotel prior to reading previous reviews and instantly regretted it.
I honestly thought I was going to be staying in Bates Motel with Chucky hiding in the cupboard.
Arrived and was met with a clean reception area with very friendly staff. Check in was no issue at all.
Go to my room which I found to be clean and tidy. The fridge worked (I didn't use it, but had seen reviews saykng it didn't...) The Air-Con worked, which was a blessing in the 35 degree heat in Alicante this week!
There was a safe in the room which I used.
There was a TV but I didn't turn it on.
The bathroom had everything you want. A toilet, basin and shower. Soap, shampoo and body wash was provided as were towels. Didnt want for anything in that respect.
So far, so good!!
I was here during Las Hogueras so Alicante was absolutely bouncing 25 hours a day. Yes, it was noisy, however i couldn't have been any more in the centre of the city so was expecting it to be. If I wanted utter silence I'd have booked a SAGA over 50's where everyone is in bed by 8PM after a good old dance of "The Slosh".
Could the bathroom been a bit cleaner? Possibly, but I've genuinely stayed in worse Travelodge hotels at double the price per night.
In all honesty, this is a cheap hotel slap bang in the middle of the city.
I honestly dont know what people are expecting for the price this place charges.
I personally have absolutely zero complaints about it and would definitely return.
