Top Elche Hotel Reviews
Hotel Port Alicante City & Beach
"Good location with nice amenities"
Hampton By Hilton Alicante Airport
"I stayed for one night as an airport hotel. The staff were great. They offered a very good breakfast. The room and bathroom were excellent as well. I recommend it as an airport hotel situation."
Hotel Bonalba Alicante
"Nice hotel, would definitely go back."
El Plantio Golf Resort
"Don’t think you can fault this place. Everything you could ask for. accommodation is amazing, my family of 4 could live there. food and facilities great. So convenient to the airport and central Alicante and easy access to main roads to get everywhere. Maybe the only thing that could improve it is a more social evening space/bar but then it’s not that type of place. I’m a very keen golfer and I stay here for its quality not the fact it has a golf course, that’s an added bonus."
Hostal La Posada
"Good friendy hotel and clean"
Hotel Leuka
"Had all the essentials and felt safe, 24h reception. Room was basic, no frills, but quiet, clean and air conditioned. Staff helpful (with good English) and breakfast did the job. Good value and in a great location for tourist areas and more locals oriented bars and restaurants. Less than 10 minute walk to marina"
