Hotel Albahía

Wonderful place to live. Could be good to have coffee / fridge facilities.

You get what you pay for. Hotel and 20 min walk into Alicante main shops 10 min walk to tram which is cheap and will take you into Alicante main shops or only an hour away from Benidorm I would say if don’t mind walking this hotel is ok

Overall there was nothing really wrong with this hotel, but it could have been better in some regards. The (standard, 209) room was really big, especially the bathroom. It was fairly clean and from the inside the entire hotel was modern and in a good state. Most of the staff were friendly and the service was fast and good. The breakfast was ok, although sometimes they ran out of plates or some items. But.. the location is not ideal. I knew I was about a 10 minute walk from the nearest tram stop. What I did not realise is that you are locked in by the sea and a giant rock (as such my room did not really have a view at all, though the more pricey rooms seemed to be great in that regard as they are facing the sea). The seafront is nice for a walk in the morning, but it is quite dilapidated and you can only acces it from one place. Anyway, I could have researched the location better myself. What I could not have known was that the showerhead wasn't properly fixed, so the water was running towards the wall instead of straight down. Also the hotel is very noisy. I always wear earplugs, so not really a problem for me. The only kind of bad encounter with a staff member was upon checking out. The woman asked for my room number and before I could even answer she raised her voice and said "room number!" again. After I got the chance to give it to her there was no smile or gracias to be found. A shame, since everyone else I met was friendly and courteous.

The hotel was great, located in a very scenic part of Alicante, with the sea on one side, and mountains on the other. Please note though that it is a bit of a walk from both the closest Tram station as well as bus station. Esp to and from the bus station, the walk is quite strenous sloping uphill and downhill. Our hotel room window looked right out to the wall outside, so not much of a view there :(

The hotel on the outside looks horrendous The initial room we booked felt like a cell. No view at all. Went to reception and upgraded to a room with a view of the sea and a balcony for an extra 15 euros per night. Something to be noted is there are only 3 floors available as the rest is privately owned, so you won’t get a good view. Inside of the hotel looks beautiful. Bed was comfortable. Room was not spotless and had a fair bit of damage. Broken chair, chipped glass top table, chipped mirror etc. No kettle in the room but reception provided one when asked. We did not eat at the hotel as it did not look good, instead we came out of the rear of the hotel and turned left. Just a couple of minutes away was La Familia Albufereta. Absolutely beautiful food, very welcoming. We had lunches and dinners here every day. Hope this helps 👍
