Excellent Occidental.
Excellent location within the tourist section of the city. Everything is a short walk away from the hotel. The pick of restaurants, tourist attractions and of course the beach. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff, easy check-in process (although the online check-in option before you arrive didn't work for me). Amazing breakfast options from cooked bacon, sausage and eggs, cooked vegetables mix which I haven't seen anywhere else. Cold meats, cheese, bread etc. Limitless coffee and tea from a single machine (so be prepared to queue). More pastries than you can possibly eat in a week of breakfasts. Excellent value for money. The room we had was unfortunately on the first floor, which means NO windows. At least not usable as it opens onto a vertical shaft that has all the air conditioning and heating ducts in it. No daylight. The room was a family room, so a decent size. Good sized bathroom with an excellent walk in shower. Plenty of towels, although paper thin. Plenty of USB sockets around the room for charging stuff, which was very welcome. Apart from the suitcase full of European adapters I had hauled all the way from home! The Occidental is equal to, if not slightly better than the chain hotels from Travelodge and Premier Inn we have here in the UK. Very clean and functional without cluttering up with too much character. Would happily stay here again, but if staying more than one night we would ensure a room with a usable window giving some daylight.

Great spot
Spent a long weekend here. In a great spot for the hustle and bustle of city life. Hotel itself well presented. Rooms basic but comfortable. Only problem was the smell of drains in bathroom was horrendous but we didn’t complain as couldn’t be bothered to move rooms. Would stop again for the price. Think premier inn or travel lodge

Good value weekend.
Good value for a cheap weekend. Staff were nice and room was clean. Only downside is no kettle in the room which is a pain. However free coffee downstairs at reception but not during breakfast and only the one machine. The location is good, right in the centre. Airport bus stop almost directly across the road.

Comfortable bed ,toilet and shower good Buffet breakfast had comprehensive choice(yummy scrambled eggs) However my room on 2nd floor at front of building subjected to loud and intrusive noise from traffic and revellers for most of the night(Christmas time ) Overall would recommend

I was surprised how small the room was but as a solo traveler it was fit for purpose. On the plus side I did have a terrace with seat and a table. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard which I was happy with. The breakfast was exceptional with lots of choices and a glass of cava which was a nice treat. Excellent position for shopping, restaurants and the beach, Thank you very much for a lovely service and hospitality.

I asked for my safety deposit box to be fixed - it never was over the 4 night stay - very inconvenient as had to carry my valuables around with me. The air con didn’t work (again this was ignored) and in the muddle of the night the fridge started making a ridiculous noise!

It was very convenient for city smenities. Room was clean with huge bed. No views to speak of but it was cooled by air con- needed. I asked for a kettle which was delivered to my room but maybe that could already be included. Staff friendly. Didn’t try breakfast so cannot comment on that

Nice hotel in a central position. Nice lobby & staff. Family room had a smaller 1st room with the potential for 2 single beds & then a lovely large king size plus bed & a shower room. The beds were comfortable but the truckle bed under the single hadn’t been cleaned & wipes were hidden behind the long curtains. There was also a gadget that sounded like a coffee machine in the bathroom that kept going off every 20 mins. We only needed to stay 1 night. It isn’t the type of hotel to stay for more than 2 nights. The view was to an internal “courtyard”. Aircon worked ok. We ate out so can’t comment on the restaurant.
