we spent 6 nights in this modern, clean and friendly hotel, it is located near the beach and casual eating and drinking institutions. A knowledge of spanish is useful as there is little english spoken, the hotel bar provides adequate snacks for late breakfast and lunch and has a nice balcony for people watching more

Great location, about 200m from the beautiful San Juan beach, a few yards to bus stops for getting into Alicante and within 2 mins' walk of several small local restaurants and shops. We stayed with a toddler and a baby and the hotel staff were all friendly and helpful over everything from broken glass on the floor (the toddler.....) to... more

We took a gamble to book this hotel but what a find! Lovely clean, tidy, spacious. Breakfast was lovely, best coffee I have tried! Hotel reception spoke good english and was helpful. Rooms lovely, nice balcony to enjoy sunset. Located in residential part Alicante, which meant it was quite at night. 2 mins from gorgeous beach. Pool was deserted during... more

The Castilla is excellent value for money if you're looking for a convenient, clean and modern hotel with friendy and efficient staff. We got a late deal and lthough it was slightly out of the centre of 'shopping' in alicante, the bus service was frequent and reliable and cost less than 1 euro to get into the marina and main... more

This hotel is actually in San Juan Playa, not Alicante, so we were constantly taking taxis everywhere. It's only 2-3 minutes to the beach, which is nice to walk on at sunset, but during the day you have to pay for absolutely everything. 3 euros to sit under an umbrella! The rooms were big and clean, with an outdoor deck... more

We chose the Hotel Castilla Alicante for a one week end of winter break. The hotel is set one block back from the Sant Joan seafront. There is a regular bus service into the centre of Alicante with the bus stop a couple of minutes along the street outside the hotel. We were taken aback when we arrived to find... more

We have stayed at Hotel Castilla Alicante a couple of times. The hotel is above average, with nice rooms and decent service. The breakfast is OK (for Spain), and you can eat pretty well in the cafe attached to the hotel. There is a fair size pool, with a small seating area. However, the real attraction of the hotel for... more

I like this hotel located in San Juan around 8 KM from alicante center. If you don't have a car to go in alicante center , the bus stop is one street at front the hotel.The staffs is nice , food are fine. more

I am in Alacant / Alicante rather frequently for business reasons and, after having stayed once in a downtown hotel, in a room without window and no good parking options nearby, I chose the Hotel Castilla in Platja de Sant Joan and returned there twice in 2003. It's a good choice because rooms are correct and spacious, prices very attractive... more
