It's the 3rd 3* hotel I have stayed in, in Alicante.
I was there from 30th Jan 2012 until 10th Feb 2012 on a business trip.
As expected, there were some pros and cons I will analyse in the next paragraphs:
Pros
1. Location: It rocks! 1 minute from "La Rambla", El Postiguet, El barrio.
2. Breakfast: very good for a 3 *. There was also fresh fruit, coffee, and water available 24h, 7x7
3. Free and fast Wi-Fi everywhere in the hotel
4. TV channels, many Spanish
5. TV in the room: was an LCD one, very pleasant
Cons
1. Since I read some comments with respect to noise due to a night club nearby, we asked for an internal room. Unfortunately, no matter what the room type, there's always noise due to people carrying their luggage, i.e. any time and any day. I should recommend the management to put a carpet in the corridors, instead of the tiles that exist now (at least on the 3rd floor where I stayed)
2. The room was a bit old and no well ventilated.
Resuming, I should recommend this hotel and would like to stay again.
For 42 euros per night, I should characterise it a great value for money option,
