Some areas/facade/older furniture noted as neglected

Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Mixed reports: several guests mention ants in sinks/desk and rust/paint loss in a bathtub, while others explicitly note clean rooms. Overall slightly below standard due to insect reports and isolated maintenance issues.
Service
8.7
Generally praised: multiple reviews highlight friendly, helpful staff, early access to facilities and attentive reception. A few mentions of unfriendly restaurant staff, but service overall is a clear strength.
Location
7.8
Mixed sentiment: convenient for certain attractions and public transport/tram for some guests, sea views and quiet for others; several complaints about distance from beaches, being set on a back alley or awkward access in a building.
Room Quality
7.6
Positives include comfortable beds, some rooms renovated and with terraces; negatives include missing mini-fridges/minibars, occasional worn furniture, curtain issues and dated fittings in some rooms.
Amenities
7.8
Strong points: large pool, free parking nearby, gym access and generally good facilities. Downsides: lack of in-room fridges/minibars reported repeatedly and some guests found pool/photos misleading.
Value for Money
8.2
Generally good value according to several guests (explicit 'Preis-Leistung TOP' and positive comments), though a few felt breakfasts or certain aspects did not justify price.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast receives praise in multiple reviews, but there are consistent complaints about buffet items missing/not replenished, an average hotel restaurant and an extra charge for breakfast noted by one guest.
Overall Experience
9.2
Majority of reviews are very positive: comfortable sleep, helpful staff, good pool and nice views for many guests; isolated very negative experiences (cancelled reservation, poor access) exist but do not dominate the overall sentiment.

Linistit, probabil una dintre cele mai frumoase colturi ale alicante
Pros:

Facilitatile. Cazarea prezinta restaurant interior, piscina exterioara, sala de sport pentru cei care nu vor sa isi iasa din ritm nici in vacanta. Am apreciat in primul rand camerele spatioase, balconul absolut superb cu un view excelent catre apus si kit-ul de supravietuire pregatit de aceastia in baie. Per total, nu a fost nimic de obiectat in aceasta privinta. De asemenea, centrul nu ni s-a parut deloc departe. Exista o statie de autobus exact in fata hotelului (mentionez ca este putin de urcat), insa drumul per total nu dureaza mai mult de 10 minute (2-3statii de autobus) , calatoriile pentru acesta putand fi achitate direct in autobus sau (varianta mai ieftina)- achizitionat abonamente pentru autobus cu mai multe calatorii de la orice tabacos shop.

Cons:

Nimic de obiectat

Pros:

Riesiger Pool und auch die Zimmer sind in einer guten Größe. Paar TV Sender in Deutsch gab es auch....Allerdings hatte unser Zimmer einen üblen Geruch, nur durch fast durchgehend offenen Badfenster wars einigermaßen o.k.
Ca. 5 min. bis zum Bus Richtung Stadt. Dort waren auch ein paar Geschäfte und prima Frühstück und guter Kaffee. Super Billig!! In der Stadt zahlt man halt das doppelte.
Wer nicht auf den Bus warten will läuft ca. 35 Minuten.... Gleich wenige Meter vom Hotel durch den Tunnel kommt man zur Straßenbahn mit der kommt man auch in die Stadt Alicante und auch Richtung Benidorm usw.
Wer nicht den übervollen Strand will läuft vom Hotel aus ca. zehn Minuten zum kleinen Strand....dort gibt es auch eine Strandbar und WC. Strand und Wasser war auch gut.
Unterm Strich: das Hotel ist o.k. vor allem wenn man den Preis vergleicht mit anderen Hotels in der Stadt. Wir haben uns mit dem Bus arrangiert ( die Straßenbahn haben wir zu spät gecheckt) .
Ich hatte übrigens mein Handy am Pool vergessen....alles wieder bekommen.... danke ans Personal im Hotel!
Zum Essen im Hotel kann ich nichts sagen.... haben immer außerhalb gegessen.

Cons:

Geruch im Zimmer war schlecht.... keine Ahnung ob es in anderen Zimmern auch so war

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Personnel agréable, chambre propre, climatisation individuelle, petit déjeuner très correct, piscine extérieure, arrêt de bus à 5'. Pas de bruit la nuit.

Cons:

Manque un petit réfrigérateur. Attention l'hôtel est en contre bas de la route. Il faut donc monter une cote pour aller à l'arrêt de bus.

Good breakfast, good location, clean and comfy rooms and helpful staff.
Pros:

Great breakfast, good location as close to a lovely beach and the tram/bus to go downtown. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Some lovely restaurants out the back of the hotel close by. Staff were very helpful!

Perfect, no complaints, in a lovey quiet area of Alicante, just a short walk from the town centre
Pros:

Upon checking in we were greeted with lovely smiley staff, always a good sign.
We opted for the Superior Double or Twin Room with Sea View and it delivered exactly what we wanted. A private large balcony with a superb sea view.
The hotel provides an excellent buffet breakfast which had a huge choice and it's served until 10.30am, so no rushing.
The room was large, which included a sofa. It was cleaned every day to a very good standard. A tea and coffee service tray is provided to the room free of charge, upon request.
Although we didn't eat in the restaurant (except for breakfast), the set menu was different every day and provided a varied choice, along with the snack menu that is served all day until late.
Whilst the hotel is not in central Alicante town, it is just a short 30 minute walk along a flat old unused railway line and this takes you for a lovey stroll along the beach front and takes you right into the city centre, where you can explore what Alicante has to offer.
We didn't find a lot to do immediately around the area of the hotel, but it was nice to be in a quiet area. We found 4 lovely places to eat, just a short walk from the hotel. An gorgeous Italian restaurant, a Tapas bar, a seafood restaurant and a yacht club, all within a short walk.
Finally there is a supermarket just around the corner from the hotel, which sells everything!
We stayed here for a week and would most certainly stay here again.

Cons:

Would be nice to have robes provided for those mornings enjoying the early sun on the balcony.
The balcony was large enough for loungers, which would be good, but 2 chairs and a table were sufficient.
The bar ran out of our choice of beverage on a couple of occasions, so when we opted to buy our own and sit on our balcony, they didn't like giving us ice without making a purchase.
The chairs in the restaurant could've done with some cushions, adding some colour and some comfort, they were a bit hard.
I wouldn't call these negative comments, just a few pointers that could improve this lovely hotel.

Een fantastische ervaring op een prachtige locatie, zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!
Pros:

Rustige omgeving. Zeker een aanrader voor wie houdt van rust en echt op zoek is naar een rustvakantie.
Bij het ontbijt was er meer dan voldoende keuze. Voor elk wat wils. Het personeel was heel hulpvaardig.

Pros:

Snídaně byla pestrá a bohatá

Cons:

Pláž kamenitá, písek jen místy a žádná lehátka či slunečníky. Takže buď bazén a nebo musíte na jinou pláž za městem
