The hotel is very comfortably furnished and located right in the center of Alicante. The rooms are spacious, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel features an intimate pool and an excellent rooftop with a stunning view of the castle. The Fondillon restaurant offers tasty food at reasonable prices. The breakfasts are varied and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

I booked a birthday dinner for 5 at the Fondillion Restaurant. My birthday guest found the restaurant too formal and empty so we sat outside in the alley. We were very impressed and well looked after by our waiter Tony . As I’d presumed, the food was very good.

Quite pricey for Alicante but lovely room and fab roof top pool (heated) overlooking Santa Barbara castle. Minibar / fridge, kettle and coffeemaker, UK etc TV channels.

Parking in basement tight but great to h...

Really nice hotel well situated in the old town only a stones throw from the promenade.Friendly and polite staff.Huge and comfortable beds and surrounding area not too noisy at night. My only small criticisms would be that the standard rooms are a tad on the small side and I would have liked a bit more choice at breakfast. However the food and drink is very reasonably priced for a 5 star hotel. As...
