Occidental Alicante

"We arrived around 11.30am and our room on the 3rd floor was ready. Reception team very friendly and polite. Room was spacious, clean and had an inner courtyard view. Comfortable bed and air con kept the room cool as it was 35 degrees outside. Fridge and safe in room - no extra charge. Location was perfect for bars, restaurants and exploring the area. We stayed room only but the breakfast looked good. Free coffee in reception but room did have kettle and a few tea bags (no milk). Overall the hotel suited our needs and I would stay here again."

"What a great hotel, it was so well placed for our needs. It was very clean and tidy and the reception area is quite small but a little cosy and friendly. Everyone was friendly and reception staff spoke English way, way better than my meagre knowledge of Spanish I’m afraid to say. Our room on the 5th floor was just as clean and tidy and there were little things to ensure you had a good stay such as toothbrushes, shower caps, shave kit etc as well as dressing gown and slippers. The bed was absolutely huge and so comfortable. We faced the street but you could hardly hear any noise when windows were shut and the curtains were blackout for a great nights sleep. We never heard any of the other guests in adjoining rooms either. We didn’t have breakfast. There are coffee facilities in the room, it’s a shame these can’t be topped up by cleaners, you have to go to the desk. The location - approximately 40m from the tram, bus stops nearby, several decently stocked small supermarkets, and a host of cafes and great restaurants, to suit all budgets within easy walking distance. Your about 150 metres to the marina and towards the beaches and the castle is virtually next door…as the crow flies. We loved the hotel and would love to go again."

"If you want a room with a view then this hotel isn’t for you. If you want a hotel with a prime location, comfortable bed, outstanding staff and a breakfast full of variety then it’s perfect. The staff are so friendly, special welcome to Laura on reception and the girl who greeted us most mornings at breakfast, sadly I didn’t get her name. The location is a 5 min walk to the promenade and also to the old town…it’s ideal plus 2 mins to the Tram network and only a 15 min walk from the train station."
