I can only echo the other contributions as this hotel is the pits! It’s tragic; it could not be in a better location! It’s in one of the best cities in Spain it’s by a marina a beach a city shops and restaurants. I hope Tryp/Melia management read these reviews and go to the hotel and retrain the staff. There...

You cannot miss this hotel on the skyline as it towers above Alicante. We stay in Alicante about 4 times a year and in fact used to live there. When we were booking our wedding anniversary trip I wanted something central and this came up at what looked a fair price. I now know why it is cheap but I... More

This hotel has a superb view of the Harbourfront if you pay the extra few euros to get a sea view room.

I stayed two nights at this hotel, and during the day I kept my laptop in the hotel room. I came back in the evening and my laptop was gone!! When I reported it to the hotel staff, they were NOT very helpful at all!! Very disappointed!

Buffet breakfast, food fine but if run out had to wait long time to be filled up. Seem to have an intermittent problem with drains in bathroom but good shower or bath if prefer. When... More

Panorama of Alicante is spectacular from this hotel if you will get room high enough. We had 15th floor at was absolutely amazing. Rooms are not too big but modern and nice, there was a separate living room and corner balcony. But there are different rooms - we have been there with another couple and they had view for another...
