The hotel was not what we were hoping for,it wasnt in the nicest of areas.We had to travel by tram to the beach and to the city for food etc.The beach that was outside the hotel was just full of rocks and you could not swim in it,which it did not say in its web page.There was also a lot of cats outside the hotel and it did not smell very nice.The staff were very ignorant and they could not speak a word of english and also the food was too expensive.The rooms were nice but the air con in our room was not working which made it very uncomfortable to sleep in at night.the cleaning ladies did their jobs very wwell thats the only good thing i will say.

NO DISSAPOINTMETS WHAT SO EVER! I booked this trip with my partner and were a bit worried as the comments were mostly negative but i booked it cause it was near the beach and city. The hotel is rated a 3star when we arrived outside we thought.. this is deffinatly a 3star! but when we walked inside, that was a different story! the receptionist was very friendly, normally check in is at 1pm but because we arrived early he let us check in at 12pm. Our room had a balcony with the ocean view, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! the food was lovely, there was things to choose from i.e. ham, turkey, cheese, toast, cereal, orange juice, and also some hot food like sausages etc. Close to the city, you could walk which takes 15mins or take the bus which takes 2mins. only 2euros for 2 people.
first of all from alicante airport, just ask for the bus to the city and it's 2euros there, from the city, walk to towards the beach until you see loads of bus stops and from the stop you'll see a map, the hotel is in Sol Naciente which where the hotel is. get on the bus and you'll see the sign Hotel Albahia. once you see it just press stop. You'll have to walk downhill to get to the hotel. Id rate this a 4star hotel because it was amazing. if you want more info just send me a message.

I booked this hotel less then a week prior to travel. I do not know the area at all, and as we neared Alicante, I was to say the least very nervous of what to expect from my bargain break, would it offer everything my daughter and I were hoping for as her post exam treat?
What a relief when we arrived, sunshine.co.uk had informed the staff that our plane arrival meant that we would be checking in late, so we were greeted by name on arrival, and encouraged to go out to the beach as soon as we had dropped off our bags, so that we could catch the fireworks! What a way to start the hoiliday, amongst the locals watching the night skky being lit up by a fantastic display.
The hotel and its location were everything we could have hoped for and more. What a brilliant time!

This hotel is an older hotel but was clean, well maintained and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We arrived late at night, so it was very dark but quickly realized that we were in a beautiful location. It is a short drive from the Alicante Airport so it was perfect after a long day of flying from the States.We enjoyed the restaurant on the premises and sat outside with a good dinner. Our room was clean, and we heard the ocean from our window at night and enjoyed the ocean view from our balcony in the morning. It was just wonderful. The included breakfast was delicious and the staff were very accommodating. It is the traditional continental Spanish fare with excellent coffee and juice. The view from the breakfast area was breathtaking, and we just had a terrific stay. Would definatly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
