004 Tiny Beach - Alicante Real Estate

The staff were great, and the location and price made this really good value. The room was very clean, with a comfortable bed, though it was basic, as you'd expect at this budget. The walls are extremely thin, so light sleepers should bring earplugs.

The sea is just 50 meters away, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the center of Torrevieja and the main promenade. The hotel staff are kind, and the room is spacious, with a small balcony, two chairs, and a table. There's a mini-fridge and a safe inside, plus an excellent shower. The room is cleaned every day and fresh towels are provided daily. There's a restaurant and bar on the ground floor, with an outdoor smoking area in one part of the bar. Smoking is also allowed on the balcony, where there's an ashtray. Breakfast can be ordered at the hotel for 2 euros. A supermarket is a five-minute walk away. I paid 84 euros for two days, or 70 pounds. I really liked the place and recommend it.

Breakfast is served at the neighbouring Martinis, with coffee, a croissant, and juice, and they also make good meals. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with a TV and fridge, and the reception staff were very helpful. From the balcony you get sea views, and it's a short walk to the beach. Walking into Torrevieja takes around 25-30 minutes.

The beds were clean and comfortable, and for a basic hotel it was good value. It's a little out of town, though parking on nearby streets was fine. Sleep was difficult during my stay. The walls are paper thin, so you hear everything from next door, and there were lots of noisy, inconsiderate guests making noise until 3 or 4 am.
