Hotel Alicante Gran Sol, Affiliated by Meliá

Fantastic location. Right in front of the port and close to city center. The airport bus leave you very close. Tourist office is right on the other side of the road. Transportation (plenty of bus lines) are very close. Right on the next corner super markets and plenty of bars, restaurants in the neighbourhood. Staff was very nice, helpful and professional. Room size was a good one. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Sound proofness, it was during the fiestas and the noise was quite well cancelled in spite of closeness of the different bars and music stands / bands.

Smell (sewage, but quite normal in seaside places). Air-conditioning, even one can set it, it was way too strong.

Location

Small lifts

It’s in a perfect location to do what ever you like in Alicante

It’s very dated once you step into the lift and into the rooms. Only two lifts that only fit two people in at a time that have to accommodate 26 floors. A long wait sometimes. And the room doors slam shut and very noisy

Location good Breakfast buffet excellent

Noise from street Tired rooms, cracked bath and sink Curtains and sofa ripped Sewage smell in lift areas
