Hotel Boutique Alicante S.XVII

Great location. Staff friendly, room clean and a few free drinks in the mini bar appreciated. The lift was a little shaky, probably just because it is an old building but we opted for stairs after the first use. The ceiling in our room (203) had a lot of flaking paint - again likely due to the building age but a bit of time and effort to rub it down and repaint would be a good idea - I imagine that the hotel don’t really look at room ceilings too much but guests laying on a bed do! During our stay the local authority jet washed the street outside at 1am first night and midnight second night, this is noisy and disturbed our sleep - not the fault of the hotel but street noise in general is something to be mindful of. In addition delivery to local bars and restaurants which means shouting voices, the clanking noise of crates being moved about and vehicles arriving and departing also starts from around 6 am. In summary it’s quite a noisy location, albeit due to things beyond the hotels control. Our room was quite basic, shower below UK standard not overly powerful and fluctuating temperature, no wardrobe, loose toilet seat, no bin and poor lighting. All typical of an old building, which we were aware of, but don’t expect a ‘luxury’ stay! Overall I would recommend but be mindful that it is an old building - parts may look a little tired but all the basics are there, including a great spot to base yourself to explore the area. If you need good location and are only staying for a short while, and you don’t prioritise uninterrupted sleep and are prepared to offset location for some minor frustrations it’s a good choice.

This is a gem of a hotel in a great location opposite the cathedral. The rooms are of a decent size and beds are very comfortable. I was concerned that we could have a noise issue, but I am delighted to say that the double glazing filtered out most of this. The hotel has a roof top terrace to enjoy and a roo. Service menu, mainly for drinks, at very reasonable prices I have stayed at a few hotels in alicante including the Melia and Euro. We would stay here again.

Stylish boutique hotel in renovated historic building in old town Alicante. Outstanding location. Impressive public area. corner room was spacious with relatively large bathroom, etc.and stylish decorated. Street noise is issue particularly at night. Highly Recommended

I loved the hotel. The location was in the heart of the old town and only 5 min walk from the beach. Room was stunning, clean and spacious. It had small balcony ovarlooking quiet street. Mini fridge was included in the price and filled up every day. Breakfast was also very good.

The location of this hotel is excellent, really central. And the hotel itself has old-world charm and is clean. The rooms are elevated basic (clean but nothing special beyond essentials and our air conditioner didn’t work very well). Sadly the front desk staff lacked warmth and felt unwelcoming (they didn’t greet us until we greeted them first). The price is fair, but the location is the main reason to stay here.

Food is cold this hotel is a 2star maybe in summer when it is hot and you don't rely on the food room as much it maybe a 2.5 this is not luxury looks good. The beach it is next to is terrible

Positives: The hotel is in a magnificent 17th-century building and perfectly located. Negatives: Unfortunately, the property is misrepresented on booking platforms. Our room (101) was basic, tired, and unclean — definitely not “Boutique.” • Cleanliness: Black mould in the shower and around the toilet; stained, dirty curtain. • Lighting: No natural light, as the window opened onto an internal guest corridor. Curtain had to remain closed for privacy. • Furnishings: No wardrobe or drawers, only a clothes rail above a fridge unit with an unfinished side. No dressing table, just a small shelf. • Condition: Exposed ceiling beams showed damp, and reinforced steel girders were splattered with paint. We complained and were offered only one alternative room, which was only marginally better, so we stayed in 101. Management was “unavailable” during our stay, and despite two follow-up emails, I have received no response.

First impressions count, and unfortunately this wasn’t a warm welcome. When we walked in, it felt like we had to say “um, excuse me, we have a booking” before anyone noticed us. No “welcome,” no “have you been here before,” no offer of a map or local tips — it all came across as unfriendly. The rooms themselves were spacious, which was a plus, but overall the experience was just average. The hotel feels like it isn’t loved or cared for the way it could be.
