Alicante Gran Sol

The location is perfect and the view is amazing. Room was quiet small and the bathroom not very nice .

This is a nice city centre hotel which is close to everything you would want... Bars restaurants beach shopping.. This place is not a 5 Star hotel and does not claim to be but the friendly and polite members of the hotel make you feel like it is.. The room we booked had a great see view for a small extra cost my advice book it you won't be disappointed believe me.. Breakfast.......I don't think they could provide any thing more... Just remember your going to Spain not Blackpool so don't say the sausage and bacon don't taste normal.... enjoy

I was on a golf trip to Alicante at the end of February and forgot to write this review.. Hotel is the tallest building in Alicante with large signage on the side of the building.. If you are street level the entrance is on the corner and not easy to notice. Room was clean , breakfast was plentiful , there is a great rooftop bar offering nibbles and cocktails. We had a hire car, you park further up the street and your ticket is stamped for cheaper parking, drop off can be tricky as the hotel is surrounded by road.. No complaints, close to restaurants and bars .

Lovely 3 night stay in this centrally located hotel. We had a superior room on the 12th floor with views of the marina and castle. Room was well equipped and clean but could have done with a mirror near a plug point for drying hair. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice but it did get quite busy so had to queue for a table a couple of mornings. Roof top bar was good and reasonably priced for a drink with a view.

Two females and a child of 5, we spent 4 nights in 2 rooms here last week. A courteous, friendly young man welcomed us at check-in and, whenever we passed by to enter or exit the hotel, he always greeted us with a smile and a greeting. Other members of the reception team were equally friendly. Our rooms were on the small side but, as we didn't spend much time in them, this was not an issue. They were clean and comfortable and the bed and pillows were wonderful. The bathroom, also quite small, but was clean and well kept. Breakfast was plentiful with a very good choice of food. The staff here kept things moving, bringing fresh supplies promptly and clearing tables quickly so that there was always room to sit. The location of the hotel is great, right in the centre, with shops and eating places galore within a stone's throw. The beach is just a 5 minutes' walk away and yes, it was great to be able to spend time there in the warm, early March sunshine - the 5 year old loved the numerous swings, slides and climbing frames spread here and there along the beach. We enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere by walking along the Esplanade and climbed up to Castillo de Santa Barbara.

Stayed in two rooms with wife and kids. Nice and clean rooms, good wifi and great view. Very good breakfast. Top roof top bar and restaurant. The reception service and room service was very nice. A negative issue is poor isolation between the rooms. My kids neighbours had a baby which cried al night and it was impossible to sleep. However, the hotel changed room without any problems.
