GUIDE TO ALICANTE HOTELS
This guide is for people looking to book a hotel in Alicante. We have tips and hints before you make a hotel reservation in Alicante as well as a list of Alicante hotels.
Alicante is situated on the Costa Blanca coast of Spain and is a very popular tourist destination; therefore if you are looking to stay in Alicante you shouldn't have a problem finding a Alicante hotel.
There are very few international brand-name hotels in Alicante so take care to read our guide on the hotel star rating system for hotels in Alicante.
If you are looking for hotel accommodation in Alicante in the peak summer months you may have a problem finding a hotel room so do make your reservation as early as possible. In the off-season you will have a huge choice of hotels and rooms in Alicante so you should get be able to get a cheap hotel deal or bargain.
Consider whether you need a hotel in Alicante that is within walking distance of the beach. Otherwise if your Alicante hotel is outside of the beach and town of Alicante you will need car hire which escalates the costs of your holiday in Alicante.
Consider whether your Alicante hotel has a swimming pool. This is vital in the summer months when temperatures in Alicante can rise above 40 degrees Celsius.
Some Alicante hotels will offer a half board or full board option. These can often be very economical options although Alicante does have a great variety of good restaurants.
When reserving a Alicante hotel do check the cost carefully. Some Alicante hotels include breakfast and other Alicante hotels don't - so do check what is included in your hotel cost and what isn't. Make sure all local Alicante tourist taxes are included so you don't get a shock when you check out of the hotel at the end of your holiday or visit to Alicante.
At the entrance to every Alicante hotel will be a plaque showing the hotel rating according to the Spanish tourist board. This is in the form of stars with a one star Alicante hotel being the most basic hotel standard in Alicante to a five star Alicante hotel being of the highest possible standard.
One star hotels in Alicante are of a very basic standard. This will be the cheapest hotel accommodation in Alicante. Expect a dated decor and possible uncomfortable bed although the hotel room should be clean. Expect your Alicante hotel room to not have on-suite bathroom but a bathroom in the hallway which will be shared by other Alicante hotel guests. A one star Alicante hotel will have no facilities such as telephone or internet access. Our advice is to check the room first before you commit to staying.
Two star hotels in Alicante are still of a basic standard and again will offer few facilities (if any). Again, if possible we recommend checking out the room before you make your hotel booking. However two star hotels in Alicante will be of a clean standard and safe so depending on your budget they are good value for money.
Three star hotels in Alicante are the most popular choice of Alicante hotels as they offer clean, safe accommodation while being affordable to most people. Facilities in your hotel room will include basics such as telephone, hairdryer etc. The three star Alicante hotel may have a swimming pool for your use, a gym and internet access but do check if these hotel facilities are essential to you.
Four star hotels in Alicante are of a very high standard with many facilities available to you such as swimming pools, sauna, Jacuzzi, restaurants, breakfast should be included in the cost, parking, internet access etc.
Five star hotels in Alicante are the most luxurious standard of hotel possible and of course the most expensive. Expect the highest standards of service and quality. Most five star hotels in Alicante will have additional health facilities such as health and spa centres.
GUIDE TO ALICANTE HOSTELS
A really cheap alternative to staying in a Alicante hotel is to book into a Alicante hostel. Be advised that these hostels are very basic accommodation traditionally sought out by student travelers and backpackers on a budget.

Needless to say - staying in a Alicante hostel is the cheapest form of accommodation you can find in Alicante.
