Babel Hotels, Alicante

"We stay first floor and we didn’t sleep well. They picked garbage from street containers every night 12 to 1 am. Lot of noise. Maybe upper floors and different side of the building is better but room 106 was terrible because of that noise. Otherwise not bad. Room did not have refrigerator or coffee maker"

"What a superb hotel."

"Room - the bed was comfy and fresh towels were provided every day. You have to pay extra for a balcony (I would definitely recommend this). However, the curtains are not very thick and the outside lights are kept on all night making it very tricky to fall asleep. Also the elevator takes forever to come, there were often long queues for it during peak times (e.g. after breakfast). Food - limited options for special dietaries (e.g. lactose intolerant). Pool - there are two pools with the rooftop one being heated. Towels were provided but you then had to pay €2 if you wanted a fresh one. "

"The hotel was so centrally located we could walk everywhere. It was quiet and street noise was not an issue. I would highly recommend here if you are in Alicante"

"A lovely getaway — mostly — with a few avoidable niggles Overall, this was a really enjoyable and great value stay, and the staff deserve a special mention — particularly Oscar at the bar, who was consistently friendly, attentive and hardworking throughout our visit. The resort is generally a quiet, relaxed and welcoming place, which is exactly what we were looking for. Most of our stay lived up to that perfectly. That said, a couple of things stood out as slightly odd. During one session by the indoor pool, heavy rock music was being blasted at full volume while a single person took a water aerobics class right next to the sun loungers — a rather bizarre combination that didn't quite fit the atmosphere. More significantly, on our final day a large group of men — possibly on a stag do — decided that everyone around them needed to share in their music, played loudly through a portable speaker. As the day went on and the drinks flowed, the volume crept steadily higher. It did put a dampener on what had otherwise been a very pleasant stay. This is really a management issue — a quiet, polite word from a member of staff asking the group to keep the noise down would have made all the difference. It's a shame, because the resort is genuinely a great spot and the majority of our time there was really positive. Would still recommend, but management would do well to be a little more proactive in preserving the peaceful environment that makes this place special."

"Clean room "

"Poor parking. Under renovation. Noisy. Excellent staff and walkable "

"The hotel was extremely clean and spacious, the breakfast was fantastic and the staff could not be more helpful with diatry requirements. The only thing I would take into consideration when booking this hotel is that the pool is not quite as it looks on the photos, when we went up in the evening there were resturant tables right up against the pool edge and it would have been very uncomfortable going into the pool. If you are not fussed about having a pool this hotel is perfect, clean, quiet, great food and brilliant location! "
