My stay was great⊠I arrived earlier than planned and my room was ready. Jorge was very nice and showed me how to get around the city.
The rooms are spacious, calm and the bathrooms are quite clean and modern.
Vi köpte en billig hotell natt i Alicante för att utforska stan lite nÀrmare. Vil5 har ett utmÀrkt lÀge i gamla stan nÀra till restauranger, barer, museum och hissen som tar dig upp till borgen pÄ berget. VIL5 Àr obemannat men all service finns i hotellet tvÀrs över gatan, dÀr sker Àven incheckning och frukost. Frukost kostade 10.50 euro, den var rÀtt sÄ standard men helt ok. Frukosten serverades pÄ takvÄningen med en fin utsikt över borgen och stan. Ute terrassen var inte öppen under frukosten av okÀnd anledning. Vi fick dock gÄ ut och titta nÀr vi Àtit klart.
Parkering skulle finnas tillgÀnglig, det gjorde det inte, men vi hÀnvisades till en gratis parkering i nÀrheten. Lyckades fÄ sista lediga platsen.
KvÀlls livet i gamla stan var mycket trevligt trots att det var en tisdag kvÀll. Massor av uteserveringar var öppna trots att vi var dÀr i februari, det var en ovanligt varm kvÀll. VÀldigt mycket lika mat pÄ menyerna men med lite tÄlamod sÄ hittar man sÀkert nÄgot som passar för de flesta.
So first of all, the rception is at a different property across the street. I have a bit of an issue with it as i am a solo female traveler and was hoping for some more safety features. The room doors don't have peepholes or chains given that this is a separate building.
Wifi spot is on the 3rd floor so if you are on 1st floor, you are s?!* out of luck. In my first room on the second floor when i needed a repair, the scheduled technitian was 45 min late for his appointment and it took about 4hrs to swap out a TV, which at the end didn't even have the feature which was originally broken.
There is no sound barriers. When anyone above flushes their toilet it sounds like your room is flooding. Any chair movement in the enteire building is like someone taking a fork to a chalk board. The buildings main entry door slams shut and you can be sure that you will be woken up every night throughout the night.
Building next door has construction and the jackhammering starts by latest 8am
Best value for money hotel Iâve visited. Lovely terrace and a bigger room than anticipated. Very helpful staff that made us choose our next location in Alicante with BeAlicante. The huge terrace overlooks a beautiful church. Picture on terrace taken from the Milagrosa breakfast terrace. Easy 5/5
