Hotel Boutique Alicante Palacete S.XVII - Adults Only

We were last at this hotel pre-Covid, and really enjoyed our stay. However, on this visit we noticed that standards had dropped. The room looked in need of some upgrades. Bedding torn, towels thin, couldn’t drain the water in the sink. Small things, but they all added up. Most disappointing thing was the breakfast, which was a standard tray, same(ish) every day. Okay if you liked scrambled eggs, and a plate of cheese and meats, but for what we paid, we would have expected a choice.

This hotel is situated next to Alicante Cathedral,it is ideal for all restaurants and shops,however it has a number of drawbacks. 1.Although the bedrooms are decorated in a boutique style there is nowhere to hang your clothes properly,no drawers or wardrobes . 2.We were there for four days and the sink drainage did not work properly and the toilet seat was loose,I asked twice for the problem to be fixed but it was not. 3.The breakfast is served in an adjoining public cafe which can result in having to wait whilst the public are being served.The continental breakfast is the same every day which is scrambled egg,four pieces of meat,four pieces of cheese,fruit and yogurt and two pieces of chocolate cake. 4 There is a mini fridge in the bedroom which is free,it contains two bottles of water one bottle of orange and one bottle of coke. 5.The shower did not have any hanging caddies to place your toiletries in. 6.No telephone or information in your room re hotel

From the moment I entered this sympathetically restored and beautifully decorated hotel, I felt at home. This is not easy to achieve as a solo traveller but the warm welcome and initial impression of my room dispelled any concerns. Nice touches such as the complimentary toiletries, water and soft drinks were appreciated. I had booked included breakfast and it was quality; locally sourced with delicious organic coffee which set me up for the day. The two women who were serving were so friendly and kind, thank you. The hotel also had a roof terrace and due to the perfect location had great views of the old town. Adjacent to the cathedral, it is only 5 minutes from the airport bus stop. Perfect.

Amazing hotel! Fabulous location in Central Old Town opposite the Cathedral. Beautiful hallway and reception area and stairs! Smelt beautiful too! Reception staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. Loved our room, comfortable big bed, great bathroom and shower. Lovely little balcony where we sat and enjoyed a glass of wine after a busy day exploring Alicante! Couldn't find a fault to this beautiful unique hotel! Would highly recommend and definitely return.

Outstanding hotel in old town.Perfect location in the centre of the old town. Just located next to the cathedral and 5 minutes from the beach. Outstanding front of house and fabulous rooms. Balcony was lovely too for a glass of wine after a busy day.

We stayed in room 107 for 3 nights. We arrived at 1am and the receptionist was on the desk and checked us in. The receptionist was very polite. When you arrive the hotel does have the wow factor! It smelled amazing and overall has a great ambience. We were checked into room 107 - the room was a good size but the bathroom was tiny and your legs touched the sink when sitting in the toilet - for info we are 5ft 7 and 5ft 10 so not exactly tall! This was quite annoying and not exactly what you expect of a highly rated hotel. Our room was also ridiculously noisy - you could hear every time someone spoke, sneezed, turned on the taps, flushed the toilet and anything else. It doesn’t seem any of the other reviews mention this noise, so I think it must be someone with this room only. This room is at the end of the hotel, so I wonder if this impacted the noise. It was the noisiest room we have ever stayed in. We did ask to move rooms and the hotel agreed, but the time we had to move we were out for the day so couldn’t move rooms (this wasn’t hotels fault). We would have moved if we could but we didn’t want to return from our day out to switch rooms. Room included complimentary toiletries and minibar with soft drinks. Staff all very helpful and polite. We also used luggage room on last day in order to store bags and get changed. Location of hotel was great. Overall I would recommend this hotel but I would not recommend the room we were given due to the size of the bathroom and noise levels.
