Hotel Alameda

Lovely hotel very central , staff were brilliant nothing was too much trouble very helpful. Food was good plenty of variety,rooms cleaned and towels changed every day. The barman Remi was very friendly and polite, we would definitely recommend a stay here.

Great to be back again in this fab fab hotel. Staff so welcoming, I arrived late morning and left my case then got a call 1230 to say room ready! Brilliant! I like the rooms overlooking Gin Street! Great to people watch but it's a lovely area anyway. Location is so ideal for the many restaurants, gin bars (!), bars in the square and side streets, tapas alley (a must visit!) and several side road to the beach gets you there in a few mins walk. Rooms are cleaned to very high standard my cleaning lady was a diamond! The whole hotel has a very clean feel about it and many great attributes. Fab sun terrace roof overlooking the sea. Great bar facing gin street which serve the most amazing daiquiris! New this year is an adjoining tapas type bar at the rear of hotel with separate entrance or you can walk through by reception. It is absolutely wonderful. called Hop Cerveza. I had a fab club sandwich here on the day of the downpour (!) but had 2 amazing evening tapas dinners here. I chose to have breakfast as at only a few euros extra is worth it. Always something on with good choice to vary your selection each day. For 12 euro you can have a buffet style evening dinner here. Again decent choice and handy if your day runs late and like me you don't like to eat too late so no waiting at restaurants for courses. Hopefully back again next year same week as this one ! Thanks to all esp check in, the bar staff (Mr Daiquiri!) and the fab girls at Hop Cerveza!

Where to start, We arrived late at night and very tired. Bad points: First off, you have a good 5 minute walk from the drop off point to the hotel entrance. This could be problem for some with the cobbles and uneven surfaces, especially with heavy luggage. There were 3 of us ladies sharing a room. The room we were given was absolutely tiny. Three beds had been squeezed into a tiny double room. So there was absolutely nowhere to stand in the room to get ready without getting in somebody else's way (good job we are good friends!) We were told the next day, when we asked if there were any larger rooms available, that the room was given to us, as we had booked through an Agency (On the Beach) and not direct. Made us feel a bit like 2nd class citizens. And the holiday was not cheap! The shower attachment was broken on arrival. (But promptly fixed once we notified the Reception.) Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Our tiny balcony (no room for chair or anything, more like a Juliette ) was dirty and had bird poo on it. It looked straight into somebody's kitchen and an alley below. So not a pleasant space at all. I am not sure how we missed it, probably as we had looked at lots of hotels, but there is no pool or Jacuzzi on the sun terrace. This was a major disappointment for us, but not the hotels fault. You had to pay to use the safe in the room. Reception staff not very welcoming or helpful (apart from one named Diana who we met on our last day). Good points: Fabulous location - right in the centre of the old town and close to the beach Comfortable beds Room was very clean (not balcony as mentioned above) Bathroom was a good size with a hot shower
