“The great and the not so great!”

THE GREAT: The security is excellent; you get a key to the front gate which is locked at all times so it feels very safe. The large balcony is excellent with great views to the sea and over the park opposite the hotel. The large kitchen is very well equipped with a big fridge. It's very clean although a little old and tired. Central location with a short walk to the old town and all its attractions. There is a superb, large Mercadona supermarket right next door. Staff are friendly and helpful. THE NOT SO GREAT: There is no one on reception over the weekend or in the evenings. There is an emergency number which we used when the kettle fused the lights on our first evening. Someone came promptly to investigate and we were shown how to turn a dial in the centre of the fuse box to reset the fuses which we needed to do several times. The kettle was promptly replaced on Monday when staff were in again. The coach from the airport drops you off on the Alfonso Puchades road at the top of the hill. If you arrive in the evening or at weekends you collect the keys from Prince Park Hotel which is a 3 minute walk away on the same road - there is a small notice on the gate telling you this, but it's hard to see in the dark. Similarly, when you leave you have to drag your suitcases up the hill to the Economy Cash bus stop on Alfonso Puchades road where the bus to the airport goes from. Bring a torch: finding the keyhole in the gate isn’t easy on a dark evening! As with many Spanish hotels, the ceilings are thin: we could hear every noise in the room above us, including chairs scraping and people walking in high heels at 3 am!
