Hotels near Decathlon, Alicante

I’m staying as a student of university of Alicante in Villa Universitaria here. The price is pretty high so were my expectations. As I arrived I found everything okay. As I’ve been spending more time, I found many disadvantages. 1) I had problems with my key and the lock all the time. And though I clearly had problems staff didn’t do a thing but ignore my complains. I had to leave the door open by the end just to get in next time. Only when I started a serious argument they sent me a worker and he repaired the lock. 2) at first there was a microwave and one day I woke up and it was gone. For my question I got “it is not included” but I’ve seen microwave in other rooms. 3) there are vegetables for breakfast, it’s the same everyday: cheese, ham and lots of dough. To be honest there are no fresh vegetables at all. Everyday for lunch and dinner there is only a “salad” of 3 tomatoes cherry, olives, corn and lettuce. Coffee is a whole other thing... 4) the shower doesn’t properly work, water is spreading all over the bathroom. Th shelf in the shower is crooked so I can’t even put my shampoo and other staff there, it’s always falling down. 5) there was no toilet brush (it may be not the most important thing, but I wish you luck to keep everything clean without it) 6) dinner is at 20:30!! But it’s just a common Spanish thing, dinner is always very late. 7) finally, it’s not a disadvantage, just a friendly warning. It’s 40 minutes to Alicante so if you want to spend more time in city, it’s better find smth there. It will be cheaper and more convenient. 8) you better speak Spanish, staff doesn’t enjoy much speaking English

There’s a clean and smart reception area, but the reception staff weren’t very welcoming, we arrived tired and late after a delayed flight and a smile and nice greeting would have made us feel more welcome. The rooms are very spacious with a big bed which we found very comfortable. However the room lacks any facilities whatsoever and way below what we expect for a 4 star hotel. We were shocked on waking the first morning to find there are no tea and coffee facilities?! Also no iron or ironing board. Plus only one arm chair was provided even though there is ample space, so we both couldn’t sit down and relax in the room. The noise from other rooms and the street on the Friday night was horrendous, even on the 5th floor. We didn’t sleep at all. We suspect this is because weekends are much busier, the breakfast room on the Saturday morning was absolutely packed. The breakfast itself was very good for 9 euros we think it’s worth it, they offer a good selection of gluten free items (I have an allergy). But as I mention above, Saturday morning breakfast wasn’t enjoyable due to how busy it was. In fact the waitress ushered us off the table as soon as we finished our last bite (I still had some tea left to drink!) as she said there was a queue to get in. In summary, a mixed stay but too many negatives and we wouldn’t stay again.

Now there are a lot of people that this hotel is not this and not that. Let me say that if you are not over weight it’s a nice still to the Mariana and restaurants and beach to be fair. This is not on the front but what a lovely place rooms are clean with a mini bar that’s a nice addition to the room. Safes in the room and overall clean today and a excellent nice stay. As I always say I stay away a lot with my job and review fairly this place was lovely. The roof top pool was not massive but what do you expect for a roof lol. Nice little bar up there too. Have to say they tried there best to accommodate my early check in coukd not promise but they did there best. The front of house areas and the reception team are a credit to this hotel

- Hey, We had a good stay, The hotel is very nice overall. With a very large hall and several places to sit to drink or to put. A bar with affordable prices, a restaurant and a swimming pool complete this hotel. The hotel has a sports room but it is not accessible. It should be called to a coach you will have to find and pay for yourself. That's so much to say that it's not useful. Very bad.

Only an overnight stay before our morning flight back to uk. We wanted somewhere within walking distance to the city centre and with parking. The hotel was easy to find with free parking, and also a 15 min easy walk to the bars and restaurants in the centre. In the morning we had an easy 10 minute drive to the airport. Our room and bathroom were a bit dated but clean and comfortable which is all we required. We didn’t eat in the hotel but had a couple of drinks out on the terrace when we returned to the hotel in the evening. Given its location and free parking we would certainly visit again.

The Budget hotel was great value as usual, but the restaurant at the adjacent Ibis was understaffed and tables were not even set out. Food was not presented well; School dinner-ish and no table service. The one member of staff (at the bar) taking orders also had to deal with bar orders. Because the tables were grouped together there was not enough seating for diners. One at our table had to separate the tables for social distancing - there was no member of staff who showed any interest. Completed orders were shouted for from the bar area. Contrast this with Barcelona the night before. Why so different?

Hotel prices are not expensive, the scenery is good. Rarely there is a Jinfu Chinese restaurant, which is a combination of Chinese and Western. Because this is a foreigner business, there are few Chinese. It tastes good and the price is too affordable.

This is a great place to stay overnight for late arrival or early departure from Alicante airport. Reception staff are friendly, thoughtful, polite and helpful in booking taxi, advising on local restaurants and explaining the Hostal facilities all in good English. Room was very clean with effective air- con and beds very comfortable. Unable to comment on breakfast service as flight left very early. Hostal overlooks open heath land with pathways for enjoyable stroll away from town traffic Only downside of stay was poor sound insulation in building so the noise of furniture being moved around in the dining area very late at night by other guests returning to premises when no staff were present became a nuisance

It's close to the airport, and it's very convenient to travel. The crush at the front desk is very nice, and the breakfast is very rich. The room is quite big, with basic facilities, and you can ask for hot water at the bar on the first floor.

I'm trying to work out the target customers for this hotel due to its location. It's out of the town (Santa Pola), situated next to the N-332 (busy north-south coast road), and on the edge of a retail park. As a result it has no room for facilities (outdoor pool, tennis courts, etc.) although it's new so everything is up to date. Rooms have a large balcony which I guess would be nice in summer. That's about it. Even the bar is a solitary tap in the hotel lobby - no separate area. Breakfast was standard but no complaints. The retail park has various eating and drinking places - KFC, Burger King, other burger places, various bars - but I didn't find a real Spanish one. Quite a lot were closed as it was out of season. For those familiar with the UK I thought it was very like a Premier Inn or Travelodge and a 4* rating is misleading. I'm thinking it's really an airport hotel so not for a long stay.
