I was delighted with the central location of the hotel, giving easy access to the heart of the city. The breakfast spread was fantastic, especially the hot buffet options. However, it would have been even better with a small table and maybe a dressing table in the room for added convenience.

I couldn't have asked for a better hotel in Alicante! The location was superb, just a block away from the beautiful marina with plenty of dining options nearby. My room had breathtaking views of the sea and the castle, and it was modern, comfortable, and super clean. The service was top-notch, with the reception staff being incredibly friendly and even organizing a food bag for my day out. The dining options were varied and of high quality, and the hotel's facilities, including a restaurant bar on the 26th floor, were excellent.

The hotel had a somewhat inconvenient room setup with twin beds joined together and a sofa bed, but it was clean and had a somewhat fishy smell. The lift noise was disturbing at times.
