Pros:

A szállás ideális helyen van, közel a parthoz,a központban. A reptéri busz az út másik oldalán áll meg.( C6) kb.4 euró/ jegy
Közel mindenhez,mégis csendes. A szoba,fürdő tiszta,az ágy nagyon kényelmes. Érkezéskor egy palack vízzel kedveskedtek, a kávé autómata a recepcio mellett található,egész nap ingyen fogyasztható. Ár-érték arány tökéletes.

Very good and recommended but bring your own cup and spoon.
Pros:

Location of the hotel is perfect. Staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast better than we expected.

Cons:

The only thing we didn,t like was the fact that there were not proper mugs/ cups (only paper cups) or spoons. I think at 4 star hotel we could expect this to be provided. We had to buy plastic spoon at the supermarket.

Fab hotel!
Pros:

This was a hotel recommended on YouTube for a trip to Alicante. We were not disappointed. Lovely clean, comfortable and modern hotel. Just off La Rambla so very central. So convenient to the old town, beach and restaurants etc. We enjoyed four nights with breakfast. The breakfast was pleasant and lots of choice. I found the hot foods a little too cool for my liking but my husband enjoyed them. There were also cold cuts. Cereals, fruits and yoghurts and of course pastries and very good coffee and juices. A very good choice. The staff were really lovely. All in all a very good experience and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Lovely Hotel
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location, near bars and restaurants, just a short stroll to marina and beach area, the staff are friendly and welcoming without being overbearing.
There are shops open all night nearby and restaurants open until late, so easy to eat or drink at anytime that suits you.
Breakfast is perfectly fine with something for everyone, cereal, bread / rolls and jams etc, fruit, several pastries / mini muffins etc, hot selection including bacon, mini sausages (think mini hot dogs and chorizo), scrambled eggs, beans, and some random veg, coffee machine with many options including espresso, cappuccino, hot chocolate, hot water for tea etc, several juices including peach, orange, apple, water and cava.
They close the breakfast part during the day but there is still some seating available to chill beside reception during the day if you wish, there is free tea, coffee, hot chocolate available at all times at reception outwith breakfast time, and they have a small selection of crisps / sweets / juice / water / beer to buy at reception should you need it, but there is a shop across the road so your choice.
We had a family room, extra bed was just as you enter the room and has its own storage areas for clothes, also has a separate TV, bedroom has its own TV and storage l, bathroom with good shower and bidet is accessed through bedroom, room was a good size and like the rest of the hotel, it was spotless, best sleep I have had in ages, I would definitely recommend this hotel, for anyone who is fussy with food, there is a great choice nearby including, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Spanish/Tapas, along with McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Five Guys etc.
Good transport links from airport, take lift to 2nd floor, out the doors and turn right, walk to the end and get the C6, if there is more than one of you, buy your ticket from the driver, ask for a Bono card, it has 10 journeys on it and costs 10 euro 20 cents, the driver will tap it once for each person, leaving you however many journeys are left, just tap when going back again, card is valid for 12 months for any leftover journeys I believe, you get of bus at the marina and walk around 10 mins to hotel, same bus stop for going back, bus is every 15 mins.

Enjoyable Stay
Pros:

An enjoyable stay at the Occidental Alicante for a few days. I requested a room at the front of the hotel so I could look out onto the street which was accommodated along with an early check-in. The room was clean, comfortable and well presented. Breakfast was very good with a good selection of cooked items and pastries etc. It was also nice to be able to help myself to a coffee in reception when returning after spending the day exploring. I would return without hesitation

Pros:

L'Hotel Occidental si trova al centro di Alicante a pochi minuti a piedi da tutto ciò che serve: mercato, ristoranti, fermata autobus per l'aeroporto e spiagge. I suoi punti di forza, oltre alla posizione, sono le belle camere e la colazione eccellente.
