Alicante Hotel Guide - Playa de San Gabriel hotels in Alicante, Spain.

"Internet is not super fast, especially during evenings when I guess no one is using it. Staff is really based in the other Ibis hotel just beside this one. Room was clean but old as the wood paneling on the floor only room was peeling off at parts and the paint is wearing thin on others. The big disadvantage is the location as there are no nearby (walkable) shops or grocery stores although there is a bus that goes to the Alicante city center (Google either gets the schedule wrong or the buses are always late)."

"Very clean and well presented room, housekeeping staff were helpful, didn’t interact with anyone else. Didn’t try any of the food. Hotel was very nice, shame about the boards of young teens there, they made a hell of a racket throughout the late evening. The hotel was in an amazing location, central to almost everything you could want. Free WiFi (although not the best signal). Would definitely stay here again!"

"Beautiful location and view. Average quality compared to other Meliá hotels. Cleaning staff very friendly. Other staff- no communication!! Rooms need updating to reflect the price"

"The actual dates of our stay were April10-12. Despite the fact that the parking lot is enclosed by a gated fence, my wife's tote bag was stolen from the back seat of the car while she was sitting in the front passenger seat. This took place during the time that I was at the registration desk. Staff downloaded the parking lot video which clearly shows the thief grabbing the bag and then running through a pedestrian gate which was being held open by an accomplice. The onsite staff were very helpful and if not for this unfortunate incident, I would have given the hotel an overall "Excellent" rating. Sadly, it was a very unpleasant end to an otherwise wonderful 2 and one-half month stay in Spain. "

"The room was very nice"

"The hotel was so centrally located we could walk everywhere. It was quiet and street noise was not an issue. I would highly recommend here if you are in Alicante"

"Clean room "

"The hotel was extremely clean and spacious, the breakfast was fantastic and the staff could not be more helpful with diatry requirements. The only thing I would take into consideration when booking this hotel is that the pool is not quite as it looks on the photos, when we went up in the evening there were resturant tables right up against the pool edge and it would have been very uncomfortable going into the pool. If you are not fussed about having a pool this hotel is perfect, clean, quiet, great food and brilliant location! "

"A little disappointed as I was hoping for area for omelettes "
