I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a big bathroom and beautiful view, but it was noisy during a wet and windy night. The small terrace was a nice touch. The service was friendly and helpful, with some English spoken, but the dining options were limited. The hotel is located excellently in the heart of Altea's historic center, ideal for exploring the charming streets and restaurants. The facilities were good, though the dining could use improvement.

I was delighted with the beautiful view over the old town from my balcony, offering a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the outdoor air. The rooms were clean and quiet, with a nice little patio to unwind. However, the bathroom could use some ventilation as some rooms had no window or extractor fan, a slight drawback in an otherwise pleasant stay.

I was delighted with the two balconies in my room and an extra common balcony on the third floor offering stunning views of the old town. The mattresses felt like memory foam, providing a very comfortable sleep. However, the view from the small balcony over large bins was noisy, contradicting the promised balcony and sea views in the booking description.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room we booked had a balcony with a nice view over the old town, which was great for relaxation. However, the room was quite large for just the two of us, making it better suited for families. The corner location facing a busy street meant we were often disturbed by outside noise, including street conversations, early morning garbage collection, and loud traffic due to single glazed doors.
