Hotel Port Alicante City & Beach

Hotel Port Alicante City & Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel. The whole hotel was very clean, the room was spacious and the terrace got sun from mid morning until evening. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was the use of a shower in the gym after checkout, which meant we could get a few more hours on the beach. The rooftop bar was lovely as were the drinks. The only downside was that the bed was 2 singles pushed together, but not held together, meaning they moved apart leaving a gap."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Alicante

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Alicante is during January, February, and December, when hotel rates tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly getaway, it’s recommended to stay for at least 3 to 4 days to fully immerse yourself in the city's historical and cultural offerings. During this time, you can explore iconic landmarks such as the stunning castle, enjoy romantic dining experiences, stroll along the marina and port, and partake in local festivals. This itinerary provides great value for money while allowing you to appreciate the rich history and vibrant culture of Alicante.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: You may discover attractive offers to Alicante by visiting the DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com, where discounted rates may be available close to your travel date. For even fresher opportunities, check the Last-Minute Deals section, which could reveal last-minute savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool within the app helps travellers compare hotel prices and amenities, keeping you informed of any price drops or available rooms, so you can secure a last-minute getaway with confidence.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in an Alicante hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised service and sometimes offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could help you secure a more attractive rate.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but with Alicante's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well connected. For those eager to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
