FAQs about hotels in Alicante









A 7,000 Year Old Mediterranean Jewel

Surrounded by the sandy Costa Blanca beaches and the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Alicante has a rich heritage built over thousands of years. Alacant (as it's known in Valencian) has a deep history ranging from the first tribes that arrived at the slopes of Mount Benacantil to Greeks, Romans and Moors. Nowadays, this modern city features a bustling harbor, great Spanish nightlife, charming old streets and modern beach resorts.

Overlooking the city from the top of Mount Benacantil, the Castle of Santa Barbara was built during Islamic rule in the 9th century. Cascading down the slopes towards the center of the city, L'Ereta Park has terraced levels that offer stunning panoramic views of the city. The remains of the ancient Roman town of Lucentum are also just a few miles away.

Barrio de la Santa Cruz is the historic quarter, featuring narrow streets, old houses and cobbled steps. Framed by palm trees and covered with a snaking pattern of white, red and blue tiles, the Explanada de Espana is considered one of Spain’s most beautiful promenades.

After arriving at Alicante Airport, indulge yourself in a resort near San Juan beach, or enjoy the view of luxurious yachts moored at the marina from a cozy B&B: Booking.com has the perfect spot for you to discover the magic of Alicante!

    Barbara Castle: walk up or get a lift (€3, over 65's free), historuc, good views. City walking tour by locals brought us to old town places we would have missed. MUBAG Art Museum had a Dali exhib, Portraits in a lovely old building. Trams are great for Costa Blanca beaches. Good bus services. Trains to Murcia. Music @ Teatro Principal as a Jazz festival was on (April). Very good restaurants - fish & seafood eg Dorada / Bream, Prawns; Tapas - we were happy with all our meals.

    Lovely city close to the beach and marina.

    Lovely city close to the beach and marina. Tourist attractions such as Santa Barbara Castle and The Ocean Race were free. The Castle is well worth visiting, with wonderful views of the city and sea. I was disappointed that the toilets were filthy and lacking basic amenities such as toilet paper and hand dryer. There's a fee of €2.70 for the lift. However, I would have preferred to pay a small entrance fee and have clean toilets. There's a nice cafe at the top with great staff. I would not recommend Alicante for solo travellers. It's very couple or groups orientated and the staff in restaurants are not friendly for lone travellers. I also found food and drink prices very expensive.

    A city full of history with many interesting places to visits.I recommend the two Arts Museums and a visit to Santa Barbara Castle for the views.La Esplanada is great for a stroll and a drink at night.I ate out every day in a different restaurant and found the food choices varied and good and reasonably priced,I usually eat Spanish food on holiday but also had dinner in a Moroccan restaurant which was excellent.There is a wide variety of other types of meals available to suit all tastes.Used the C6 bus from and to the Airport.It runs regularly(I caught one at 6am to the airport)and costs 2.80 euros although as a pensioner I only paid 1 euro.The only thing I would warn about are the pavements.They are quite uneven in some places especially the older streets and I nearly took a fall.A lady passing warned me to keep an eye on where I was walking and I followed her advice safely for the rest of my visit.

    My 2nd night there I was jumped by 2 black males.

    My 2nd night there I was jumped by 2 black males. My phone was stole and left very shaken. The police were absolutely useless. No help what so ever. My phone had all my details on it and was very important to me. I was able to supply the IMEI No. To trace it but Police said NO we don't trace But if we find it we will contact you.. Sat in the Police station for ½day for no reason. Very dissapointed.. Other than that, the town itself is absolutely beautiful, very well priced, stunning views e.t.c , my horrendous start to the holiday wouldn't stop me going back but I definitely will be taking better precautions.

    Maybe I was just unlucky but it was the least social hostel I've ever been in. It seemed to be fully booked but I didn't really meet any people in the common area. Common area is adorable btw. Beds have dark curtains so it's dark even if there's a light on in the room. Beds are very comfortable, everything is very clean, there's a self check in and location is just perfect. The city centre, the castle, the coastline, the bus station - everything in a walking distance. Alicante is beautiful and very walkable.

    We spend this summer roadtripping through Spain and this was the best accomodation we stayed during our trip! It is a beautifully renovated old house with patio just oustide the city center of Alicante. We stayed in a studio and it had everything we needed for a short stay. The studio we stayed looked also just renovated and was very modern, clean and crisp! The owner also called when we arrived and was very helpfull with guiding us into the house. We definitely recommend this place!

    The location was great. The hotel is right across the basilica. The hotel is in old building, its lovely, narrow corridors, it's cozy. It has a nice terrace, we did not make use of it but people were enjoying their evenings. They were so friendly that they let us check-in a bit earlier because we arrived quite early to Alicante. It's close to the city centre, we walked to the city and an just 10 minutes walk to the metro station to go to the beach.

    B&B hotels are always reliable and at a very reasonable price. Great service by the friendly staff, who are multilingual. Great breakfast on premises, comfy rooms and beds. The hotel is out of the way from the city center, which makes it quiet, and it's also quite near to the beaches south of Alicante, where you can find nice little beach front restaurants and clean beaches. Would definitely stay again!
