Stayed here at the end of Jun-08 for 6 nights. This is probably the cheapest hotel in Alicante with a really good location! However, before you book a word of caution because I booked on the back of the recommendations made on tripadvisor and in my opinion (just my opinion), I think they are just a little overstated. So here is my experience:

Room - our room was at the back of the hotel, you go down these corridors which are dull (kind of a "hostel" feeling to them) and echo alot. The actual room was dated. Needs a good revamp, but it was clean. Apart from the balcony which overlooked a wall (yes a wall) and had bird's droppings all over it (so we never used the balcony!). The air con didn't work at first but credit to the hotel, maintenance came up quickly. The door to the balcony needed to be closed for the air con to work- however it was very very very sensitive so even when it was closed you had to really push it together - the sensor must have been not long enough. This was very annoying. What was written by other reviewers is true, the air con comes is regulated by the hotel so you dont have control when you'd like to have it on. Again, annoying... and did i mention the plastic sheets?

Staff - Staff were ok, I didn't find them overly friendly (like I did at Mar Blau in Benidorm) - by that I mean they didn't go out their way to make you happy but they were nice enough when asked questions.

Food - breakfast was a little minimal - just bread/croissant as i recall and yoghurt. No cereal, no fruit. It was in the bar next to the hotel which wasn't that nice and i would have never have gone to except you had to for breakfast. On the weekend it was in another room which was alot better. I said to my wife that they should have it there all the time instead of that bar.

I think on holiday you want to feel a little special - a getaway from your normal life, but you want to feel comfortable too.

I could sleep anywhere really, but the "comfortability" factor only was ok. In the afternoon we'd have liked to come back to the hotel and sleep for a couple hours then go out again in the evening. However, we'd think about the room and think, "ok lets stay out and only go there to sleep".

And thats the key, if you only looking for somewhere to rest your head at night, a good location at a cheap price, Leuka is for you.
If you looking for more comfortability (somewhere you could come back and sleep abit in the afternoon, chill out in, etc), spend a little more money. You get what you pay for!

Returning to Alicante, after visiting a few locations along the coast, this hotel was very pleasant indeed. It could certainly be described as being a bit big and impersonal and a bit faded in parts, but it was quiet and offered very good value for money. We didn't sample the breakfast, but the room was quite big and had a balcony. We would certainly come back again. Worth considering!

Enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Leuka. Reception and all other staff friendly including Bar staff next door, where breakfast is served.

Older style hotel with basic en-suite room with small fridge and safe (small additional cost), quite large room with twin beds although we asked for a double bed (matrimoniale). Room cleaned and towels changed daily with soap and shampoo provided. Breakfast adequate in the Cafe next door. Room cold on arrival - hotel put on air conditioning which made room quite warm. Hotel located in side street with no real traffic noise even at the front.

Hotel approx, 15- 20 minutes from seafront and old town. 10 minutes from Rail and Bus stations and 5 - 10 from open and enclosed markets. Generally a good located base for seeing Alicante and for travelling to surrounding towns. Overall good value - don't expect 5 star treatment for 3 star prices. We would go back - hotel seemed as good as the description for other hotels costing twice the price.

Stayed here for 2 nights and found the hotel to be very clean, comfortable and staff at front desk friendly and helpful when asked for assistance.
Stayed on the 5th floor at the front, there are no views to speak of, you can just see the sea, but had a small balcony. Breakfast in the morning was in the cafe next door on the saturday and in one of the hotel rooms on the sunday, again perfectly adequate rather than spectacular. Bathroom and bedroom fittings were old but clean, plenty of hot water, towels etc. Location is very central, took us about 10 -15 mins to get to the seafront, level walking.

Great value for money, but don't expect luxury, or views of any kind.
