Room was fine, just the sound proofing is not good enough and the 24/7 shop outside means you most likely will be woken during the night.

I was surprised how small the room was but as a solo traveler it was fit for purpose. On the plus side I did have a terrace with seat and a table. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard which I was happy with. The breakfast was exceptional with lots of choices and a glass of cava which was a nice treat. Excellent position for shopping, restaurants and the beach, Thank you very much for a lovely service and hospitality.

The staff was friendly and gave great advice on the excursions. "Isa" was very professional and friendly. The hotel has the best ever breakfast and that's coming from a former international flight attendant for 18 years. I would highly recommend Occidental Alicante!

It was very convenient for city smenities. Room was clean with huge bed. No views to speak of but it was cooled by air con- needed. I asked for a kettle which was delivered to my room but maybe that could already be included. Staff friendly. Didn’t try breakfast so cannot comment on that

Excellent position, very handy for local restaurants and cafes. We were room only so didn't try breakfast. Good air con as it was very hot when we were there. Empty fridge in room which meant we could store our water there. Comfy large bed and pillows. Not the largest room, but quite happy with it, it was nice and quiet. Rainfall shower which was refreshing in the heat.

I asked for my safety deposit box to be fixed - it never was over the 4 night stay - very inconvenient as had to carry my valuables around with me. The air con didn’t work (again this was ignored) and in the muddle of the night the fridge started making a ridiculous noise!

Disliked: Amenities
We have lots of quibbles with this hotel. In the course of our one night stay, we ended up in three different rooms. Having first been assigned an interior room, we requested one with out-facing windows. That room, however, had such a weak air conditioning unit that we were sweltering. So...we moved back to a different interior room that enabled us to escape from the heat. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly in responding to our requests. As for the hotel itself, it’s in a primo location--downtown and an easy walk to the esplanade. But the rooms are small and not very well designed or appointed. It was impossible to shower without splashing water out into the bathroom area. Thankfully, there was shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. But there were virtually no other amenities in the room: no water--not even Kleenex tissue. The one bright spot was the breakfast buffet, which was excellent.

Room very small tight to wall on each side.. Our room looked onto another building which made the room dark most of the time. Didn't have breakfast as plenty of cafes near buy. The best thing about the hotel is the location.
