What guests think

Hotel Areca is widely chosen for overnights near Alicante Airport, with modern, clean rooms and notably friendly staff, a small spa and pleasant garden, and generally good dining, though some guests mention late restaurant hours and limited nearby attractions.

Taxis or a paid shuttle can be arranged to the terminal, street parking is usually easy, and Wi-Fi is typically reliable. Recurring drawbacks include hot or hard-to-control air conditioning, occasional noise or thin walls, no in-room kettle in standard rooms, and a compact spa that can feel crowded or requires swim caps. Best suited to short, convenient airport stopovers.

Vi havde en enkelt overnatning, da vi skulle med et tidligt fly hjem. God beliggenhed i nærheden af lufthavnen. Sol området var på taget. Det var meget lille og med kun tre solsenge, ligesom udsigten ikke eksisterede grundet store planter (så eneste udsigt fra solsengen var skorsten, udluftning mv.).

We only stayed at Hotel Areca for one night before we flew home from Alicante airport. The room was clean, spacious & comfortable. We had a separate toilet to the bath & sink area. There was a fridge with water & beer (to buy), a safe, and adequate wifi. Staff checking in & out were very pleasant. There is plentiful parking around the streets & also there is a piece of waste ground opposite the entrance to the hotel where you can also park. There’s a couple of restaurants outwith the hotel walking distance (none were open before 7.30pm/8pm - same as hotel restaurant), If you’re looking for an earlier dinner, there are McDonalds/Burger King about 10 mins drive past Torrellano open all day/night. The airport is a stones throw away, we drove there in about 7 minutes max. Would highly recommend Hotel Areca.

Good location, close to the airport, our room was without door in the bathroom-that was a little weird for us🤔🙂, clean but some things schould be fix or changed. Nice spa but very small and you have to use a bath cap hehe-rules are rules. We didn't have breakfast and I cant tell anything about this but we ate diner in the restaurant-was good but very small portions-if you are hungry you need to order a lot.

Trouble started from the moment we arrived at the hotel. there was not a single towel, soap, etc. in the room. the bathroom was full of black hair, not sure if that bathroom was cleaned after the last customers. Bed linen with some strange smell, like the whole room. After ordering the food, it turned out that it would not be available and he had to choose something else.

Für eine Übernachtung bis zum (frühen) Flug am nächsten Morgen war es top. Nettes Personal, schöne Einrichtung. Pluspunkte: konnte schon sehr früh ins Zimmer (ca. 12:00 start 16:00), bekam ein Lunchpaket, weil mein Flug zu früh ging fürs Frühstück. Abzüge: alte Fenster, deshalb recht laut (insbesondere Straßen- und Fluglärm); kleine Beschädigungen im Bad (Armatur der Dusche). Der Ort hat Supermärkte und ein paar Restaurants und Cafés, sonst aber nichts zu erleben. Fazit: perfekt für Hotel vorm Flug!

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is less than 10 minutes from the airport which is why we booked it. The unfortunate thing for us was that the hotel shuttle wasn't running the morning that we required it so the taxi cost us 18 euros. The rooms are fine but we found the beds a little uncomfortable and the pillows not of good quality at all. The mini bar is a nice idea. The shower is very good but within the main bedroom without privacy.... fine if travelling with a partner. The separate toilet is OK with an opaque glass door. There is a nice bar area and restaurant in the hotel offering a menu del dia, snacks and other meals. We didn't use the spa as only there for one night prior to flying. We went along the road to eat. There are tapas bars, a great Turkish restaurant, ice cream parlour, bars and a well stocked supermarket within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. For what we needed...a hotel near the airport..... this was OK.

The staff were kind enough to let me stay there for a short work call after checking out. The WiFi is good enough for video calling. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We stayed 2 separate nights, the first night our room was good but there was no door on the toilet/shower room, which was not ideal, the 2nd night was a much better room. The restaurant food was lovely but the service was random, there were people coming in 45 after us who were served first and had finished their 2nd course before we even had our first.

This was my favorite hotel during my stay in Spain. I traveled between Barcelona, Cordova, Granada, and Madrid. And in all of my travels, this was my favorite hotel. The hotel staff was kind. The food was amazing — I had the best hummus in my life in this hotel. In addition, the amenities were amazing, for example, the spa area was spectacular. And its proximity to the city, the beach, and the airport were huge pluses. I highly encourage anyone to visit this hotel during their stay in Spain.

Great place for a stop if arriving or leaving Alicante Airport. This is our second stay and it was as pleasant as the first, the food in the restaurant is excellent. Only thing for us was the bed was a bit wobbly, waking up each time one of us moved! It didn't spoil our experience or make us not stay there again.
