Castle Apartment

Location, good value for money

Nothing

Cheap and cheerful stay. Host was very welcoming, and met us at the property just in case we needed to use the adjacent car park (we didn't have a vehicle). The flat was basic, but clean and well-kept. There were pastries and coffee pods left for us for breakfasts, as well as a bottle of water in the fridge. It was lovely having access to the outdoor patio. The location was ideal, on a quiet street less than 5 minutes walk from the city centre. Towels and shampoo/ shower gel were provided. This wasn't a luxury apartment, but it was exactly what we were looking for - clean, central, quiet, and great value. If you're arriving to Alicante on the C6 Airport bus, it's only a 20 minute walk to the apartment from the last bus stop (Plaza Puerta del Mar).

I don't know if the TV worked, because we didn't use it. The patio doors didn't lock (or maybe we just couldn't work it out!), but there was a sturdy shutter we could use to keep the flat secure. We were in Apartment B, which has a very small step down into the hallway.

A really nice cozy place. Easy to locate. The amenities provided were really good. There's a private parking area in case you arrive there by car. Also the host Mr. Shami was so hospitable and warm.

Own apartment with kitchen facility. Not far to walk into town. The view from the balcony is the Castillo de Santa Barbara, a great view.

The blinds did not work, the curtains were thin, and one small side window in the bedroom didn't have a curtain. So in the morning, the bedroom was brightly lit with the sun rising directly in front.
