Albufereta hotels

Stayed 4 nights 11 - 14 June 2011. Hotel very nice, small, friendly, with helpful staff. our room was great, and the air-con most welcome! Breakfast is a good selection and very relaxed. We only ate dinner in the hotel one evening, but the meal was fine. Only slight drawback is location, Alicante centre is quite a long way away, but we found the walk to/from nearest tram stop (Sergio Cardell) only took 10 minutes (or there are buses if you prefer). Either way, if staying more than 2 nights, it's probably worth getting a TAM (Transporte Alicante Metropolitano) smartcard to load with a "bono multiviaje". Card is only a couple of euros, with subsequent saving of about 40%. We bought a card each, but if you are always travelling together you can both share a card - just validate twice at the start of each trip. More details on website for alicante trams. We expected 4 night to be enough to have "done" Alicante, but there is a lot to see, and the city and this hotel have convinced us to return.
