Noise is a big factor. I knew about the partying and we spent 3 days. Party goes on till 3 or 4am every day and they gave us ear plugs, but was hard to sleep. Beds comfortable, lots of dining options and shopping. Supermarket close by for water, beer any essentials.

I need you to look at OUR call history. You said that you would pay for my first night. They didn't even know who i was nore was my name was in their system. I was very lucky to get a room. For one night. Out of many nights I'll be here

If you're not there for the all night party in the summer you may want to stay a little further from the Old Town Strip as it could be quite noisy being right on the strip.

This place was perfect, right on the strip of bars and restaurants and pop up shops, also very close to the beach, almost on the beach as well. I reccommend this hotel to anyone going to Albueferia, and espcially if you like to party.

If you want to have any sleep at night, this isn’t the hotel. The location is such that there are bars next to the hotel and across where there is live and loud music until 4am daily. We were there 2 nights, and gave up after our first night and looked for another accommodation. When booking, they mentioned music stops at midnight, but that was a lie. I’ve also reached out to Expedia to see if they can add a note about the hotel and the volume, but with no luck. The rooms are extremely small, bathroom has mildew, shower faucets rusted. The walls are paper thin - you can hear your next door neighbours and people in corridors throughout the night. Wall plugs mostly don’t work, night lights don’t work. Housekeeping is poor - we kept towels on the ground to be changed, and instead they hung those towels again for use. The elevator is a floor above reception so you’ll have to climb the stairs to catch the elevator. The location is prime because you’re in the middle of everything, 2 minutes from the beach. However this isn’t a place I’d recommend to anyone, ever.

Great location, obviously noisy at night, but you should know that before booking! Poor that you can’t make or even buy a cup of tea in the hotel bar, which opens for breakfast but doesn’t serve a drink only!

In the perfect spot for a bit of nightlife and lounging at the beach. The private balcony was the star of the show. If you want to be in the middle of the action and close to the beach this is the place for you.

The staff were very helpful and welcoming on arrival; the hotel was clean and within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants and the beach. The only thing I will mention is that - being in the bar/restaurant district - it can be very noisy at night (until around 3am), so not suited to those who like their peace :-)

Suprised only a 2 star, i would say 3 star. Spotlessly clean throughout, friendly staff. Cracking location for nighlife/amenities/restaurants & beach. Yes the rooms at the front are noisy until 3-4am but if your out till late, it doesnt matter anyhow. Would recommend to the night crowd amongst us.

Hotel was clean and bathroom was great. Staff was good and helpful. What made our stay was the location. Outside is the place to be! Lots to eat , quite a tourist destination and night life going all night- super great for young couples and families! Room was a bit small and breakfast was just okay but otherwise good hotel.

Hotel is in the center of the the nightlife. Room was small but clean. But they expect you to reuse the towels during your stay. I was there for two nights and they argued about exchanging the towels on the second day. They cleaned the room but wouldn’t change the towels. Absolutely bizarre!! Also no iron in the room and elevator is broken. Like I said before, location is great but service is seriously lacking.

Only positive of staying at this hotel was really the location. I am no longer at an age that I enjoy lodging next to the city's loudest bars. But that wasn't even the toughest part. I happen to be handicapped and I booked the hotel because it said there was an elevator. But in reality, there is a set of stairs that guest must use to get to the elevator. Fortunately I was able to get up the stairs and leave my wheelchair on the first floor.

The staff friendly. The setup required walking up stairs to get to elevators. The room was newly remodeled and a view. The hotel is on bar street so some noise at night, part of the fun. I would stay there again.
