Hotels near Garcia Town Tower, Alicante

Genuinely really nice hotel if you're a stoic, philosophical, get-what-you-pay-for, kind of person - I was honestly perfectly happy there... However... The room was small, so small in fact that they emailed us ONCE WE WERE ALREADY THERE, 'reminding' us (there had been no mention before) that we had booked a very small double room, that was more suitable for a single person, and offering to upgrade us for a scarcely justifiable fee. It was very small. The basin is in the main room, as the bathroom is hilariously small - did I mention the whole thing was small. The shower was ok, but to access the toilet you'd need to be less than a foot (30cm) in width. Yes, width. Again, as a stoic stiff-upper-lipped Englishman I was perfectly happy as I would just squeeze my shoulders in, but for the portly, do consider this advice when booking! Staff were lovely though, and the fact that the bed seemed firm and excellent at first, to give way to mild back pain and the realisation that the firmness was rigid mattress-springs almost went unnoticed! Outstanding location though, and really fine if you don't mind imperfection!

We recently spent nine nights in this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms, though not huge are spotless and very well equipped. Cleaning was top class…. Compliments to the chambermaid whose name I didn’t get ( room 909) . Staff at reception were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. There was a wide variety of food available……fruit, yogurts, cold meats, cheeses, cakes, bacon, eggs, sausages and a good selection of breads. The location is excellent……across the road from airport bus stop and fifteen minute walk from train station. It is a short walk down to the old town and promenade. There is a bar and food service in the lobby in the evenings which we were unaware of for the first few days. Perhaps this could be better advertised, maybe as one approaches the lifts? The lift situation is quite slow……there are only two lifts for ten floors and they take ages to come. A small quibble for an otherwise excellent hotel. We would be more than happy to stay here again.

Nice clean hotel although our room was a bit dark as you opened the window onto a room but you get what you pay for and we booked the cheapest room. Very central in the middle of Alicante city centre. Rooms very clean. Staff very helpful. Breakfast buffet very good. I would stay here again.

Terrible place to book a room, Room looked like it was used for staff / tradesmen or worse. Wall onto stairs (see photo) each time anyone used the stairs woke the room up View from window see photo, no ventilation in bathroom, no balcony or view Window shutter broken not operating (open/close) Lights hanging from the wall Ladies blond wig found between bed No fridge just a space for one Only two sockets added for the whole room Door lock sticking very difficult to open Charged for car parking, then refunded, than asked again to pay Lower basement car park, still parking the car and collecting belongings, and lights were turned off, shutter closed, said there was a switch on the wall, but even next day could not find one, so being elderly with two others had to exit via steep ramps in the dark to exit Complained all they said is cannot understand you. People got stuck in the lift, alarms sounded screaming and banging from guests stuck in the lift, after this I was so frightened to use the lift, so I had to use stairs a number of times with limited mobility. Noise from corridors all hours banging, furniture moving, sounded like pipes leaking above the bathroom ceiling. TV was poor, the remote was very dirty and had no id to know what buttons were for what, only a few Spanish channels Had no operating air conditioning, listed as being air conditioned, so asked for a fan, one given but said no AC until May, not what it says on the web site. Reception said water was leaking from our bathroom to room below, see photo of sealing around floor, as clearly they have had a problem before Floor tiles cracked in bathroom Sink, towel rail and stool all cracked Bathroom door was very tatty and rotten at the bottom. One easy chair in the room, so dirty we could not use it to even put anything on, white stains all over it! Safe but no key, (not secure with a key anyway) top by safe inside wardrobe marked with paint etc Electric button in room, no idea what for, push button in wall suspect may be rooms by the hour? Old electric unit on wall by bed with no cover was it safe or live? No Bar, restaurant etc only buffet breakfast. NO information in the room / hotel regarding facilities etc not even pictures on the wall

We stayed 2 nights in the hotel and had a very pleasant stay. The rooms were a good size and had a fridge, tea kettle and the usual bathroom amenities. They were clean and quiet. The staff at the hotel were pleasant and helpful. We had dinner there one evening and it was quite good. The buffet breakfast was fine and had a good variety of food. The hotel is not near the area where much of the restaurants, shops and beaches are so we needed to take taxis but it wasn’t too expensive to get there. We did use the parking garage. I have to say that the garages in hotels in Europe are challenging at times. We were driving an SUV and there are some tight spaces to get around. But the parking wasn’t too expensive and there were always spaces available.

Yes, a total of five rooms were set, one of which was free for an extra bed for the little ones. There is an additional charge for parking, and there is a very small swimming pool on the roof. The foreigner is watching the sun very seriously.

We arrived very late in the night. The hotel entrance was inviting and the lobby was clean and pretty decent. The hotel check-in staff was very friendly and helpful. She checked us in and even assisted us with getting a hot meal despite how late it was. We then proceeded to find our room. The first thing we noticed was that the hallway on the floor was poorly lit, but we were tired so we jut cheked for our room and went it. On entering the room, it smelt unpleasant. There was a smell of old dust. We then went inside the bathroom. That was an awful experience. The toilet had dried urination stains, the shower vent was filled with dust and the bathroom wasn't fresh. We then tried to turn on the television and it wouldnt work. We called the front desk and the check-in staff offered to come to our room. She broguth a new remote to asisst with the television. We complained about the room and asked if we could be moved. She said the room we got was for disabled persons and hadnt been used in a while ( which was obvious) but it also wasnt clean. She offered to try and get us into a new room the next day for which we were grateful. We tried to endure but had trouble sleeping because the air conditioner was filled with dust. We eventually fell asleep and by the net morning I couldnt breathe. My nose was stuffy and I felt like i was choking on dust. We decided to just check out early and find another place as at this point we just had enough. We checked out and were told that we would receive a refund for the remaining nights we did not stay. We booked for 3 nights and stayed for 1. A week after we checked out , we receievd an email stating that they will not refund the nights that we did not stay without valid explanation. Highly disappointing! Defintiely won't go back.

For a budget hotel, this place has everything you'd want in holiday accommodation: bed, desk, working outlets, bathroom with separate toilet and shower. Sadly half the channels didn't work on the TV. There was also a cafe in the main Ibis hotel that provided breakfast but I never tried it. Location wise, it's opposite a quiet beach area, but if you want to go out and don't have a car, your only option is the C6 bus or taxi. Overall though, I highly recommend it if you just want somewhere to rest.

The hotel is about 13 euros from the lively neighborhood of the seaside. If you are departing from the hotel, you need to ask the front desk to help you call the car. The cost of attaching the car is about 5 euros. Breakfast 12 euros / person, not much things, still exquisite. Underground parking is available for a fee, and on-street parking is free. The hotel has a good internal environment with 2 swimming pools. Two-bedroom house, one with a bathroom, and two chairs for relaxation on the outdoor balcony.

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.
