We arrived to a warm greeting, very helpful friendly staff. The building was once a Covent which has now been beautifully converted and refurbished to a very high standard in the heart of old Alicante town. We stayed two nights but wished it had been longer so that we could of taken more time in the spa and swimming pool. The breakfast was Mediterranean style help yourself buffet with cheese, ham & pastries along with a fresh cooked options. (too much to mention), accompanied with as much juice, tea, coffee & champagne as you wanted , yes champagne. The Santa Barbara Castle is a must visit with views all over the city. Also the Cathedral of St Nicholas. The beach is close by, very clean white sand. The harbour is nice to walk round with lots of restaurants & bars overlooking it. There are also restaurants & tapas bars within walking distance of the hotel. The Fondillon bar/restaurant at the Hotel served excellent tapas. We used trains & buses whilst here, very easy & cheap. All in all our short break was not disappointing, we loved the whole feel of the Hotel & the city.

You could not ask for a better located hotel in terms of being well placed for beach, restaurants and the city sights. Given this, you must also expect a certain amount of late night/early morning noise from outside which is only partially dealt with by the windows. Where our initial room (218) let us down was not only on road noise, but mainly on temperature. 218 is located at the front of the hotel, has sun all day, and the cooling system simply could not cool the room down below about 23C. To be fair, our opening night's frustration was compounded by my wife having injured her leg a few days prior to our arrival, and needing to rest in the room more than we would normally. The staff did all they could to cool the room and were able to facilitate a room change the next day - to 203, which was far cooler and far quieter - overlooking the restaurants at the back of the hotel, and a quaint street. Only one other minor issue with the room - no real dressing table that my temporarily infirm wife could sit at..Odd! The hotel in general is an oasis of calm in a vibrant city, and whilst the pool area is small, and occasionally "full" it was a lovely space to spend the day, or return to after a day in the city or on the beach etc...pool, jacuzzi etc.. The major plus point for the hotel is simply the quality of the staff employed there. Without exception, from the maintenance man to the room maid to those "manning" the reception, they could not have been more helpful. Our initial concerns about the room were sympathetically and helpfully dealt with by Diana, and Elena was a constant delight in checking all was well, and enquiring as to the health of my poorly wife. Such genuinely empathetic and friendly staff are worth their weight in gold.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Stayed for 4 nights in November so the hotel was quieter than I imagine it would be during high season. We really enjoyed our stay. The reception staff were very welcoming & helpful, and were happy to pander to my attempts to converse in Spanish even if it meant they had to speak soooo slowly back to me!
The room was spotless and a good size, with a nice selection of toiletries, teas, coffee, etc & some extras like a little pouch with spare masks & hand gel in it. Very comfortable bed.
Breakfast was good. A well stocked buffet with a wide range to suit most people, from fruit, yoghurts & cereals, to breads, pastries & various spreads, to cold meats & cheeses. as well as a freshly made apple cake every morning. Good coffee & a range of fresh juices. Hot food such as eggs, waffles, etc can be ordered but we were happy with the buffet selection.
And the small heated pool on the roof (which luckily was covered in November) added a nice extra to our stay. Robes & slippers in your room & big piles of fluffy towels pool-side to use.
Location-wise it suited us perfectly for a city break. On a side street, close to lots of bars & restaurants, and just 2 mins walk from the prom. In summer, 5 minutes walk would see you on the beach. Very convenient for the airport bus too, less than 5 minutes walk from stop at Porta del Mar.
Happy to stay in this hotel again, & happy to recommend it to a friend.

We visited this hotel for three nights from 31 Dec. The staff at this hotel cannot be faulted. They are professional, considerate and provide a friendly service. They pay attention to detail and are very accommodating. The hotel itself is quite intimate, located in the old town and near to the promenade. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We stayed in a superior double and it was fine. We were on the front of the hotel and perhaps if we stayed again we would ask for a room at the back as there was a little bit of noise from the street cleaners in the morning. However this was all we heard. The pool upstairs is small but has amazing views of the cathedral and castle. We had not expected a bigger pool because of where the hotel is so it was fine. Spa facilities were being refurbished when we stayed. The hotel was fully booked but did not feel busy or frantic. The hotel bar was very nice also and served good tapas - which were not too expensive. Very close to all amenities and a genuinely lovely stay.

My husband & I have just returned from a weeks holiday at this amazing hotel, where high standards excelled in all areas especilly cleanliness, food and service, the staff were excellent and are to be commended, especially in these ongoing challenging times. The food served in all areas was of a very high standard and greatly enjoyed by us, especially the meal and Flamenco show (not to be missed).
I contacted the hotel prior to our visit to request a walk-in shower and discuss the hire of a mobility scooter, and the staff were very helpful and assisted with our requirements.
The location of the hotel is very central, and this makes it very easy to get around this lovely city, and we will certainly be returning to Alicantel and this beautiful hotel very soon.
Sincere thanks to ALL staff at the Hospes Amerigo, you are all an asset to this wonderful establishment.
Our only disappointment was the cold wet weather, which is out of everyones control!

We love Alicante city and have visited many times, usually staying at The Melia. As it was my husband's birthday we decided to have a change and stay at Hosped Amerigo upgrading to a better room for the occasion. The hotel is situated in a busy side street just off the Promenade and I was worried about traffic noise but even though our room overlooked the street it wasn't too bad at all and we slept well in the very comfy bed. The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped; the bathroom is strangely located, it is there almost as soon as you step into the room so be careful if you are in the bath and someone opens the door!!!! Breakfast was adequate with pastries, fruit and the usual continental fayre and if you want eggs you can order them through the waiter. We found the restaurant service to be the only grumble in this otherwise lovely hotel. A few mornings we either weren't asked which hot drink we required or our eggs didn't arrive. Each time this happened and we asked where they'd got to, the staff were off and grumpy. The reception staff were lovely though. One more thing; there is a smallish roof terrace with around 18 sun loungers; we only went once and managed to get the last two beds, albeit in the shade but we observed towels on most of the beds for hours with no one on them and whilst we were there several people came looking for a bed but they were all "reserved." Considering there were so few in the first place I should imagine this could be very annoying. Overall, a great place to stay and very central.

I think this was my 6th or 7th stay at this brilliant hotel. I took my son with me for the 1st time and he loved it too! Alicante has so much to offer and the town gets very busy. However, as soon as the slide doors open into Reception at Hospes Amerigo, you are in a world of calm.
All the staff are top drawer and it would be unfair to pick out anyone in particular. All of the staff we met couldn't have been more helpful or friendly.
Check-in is smooth with a free glass of Cava or water offered while you wait. If your room is not ready, they will phone you if you elect to go out and about in the town.
Breakfasts are worth the extra money and are a perfect start to the day as you are so well looked after.
The rooms are spacious with all the nice touches you would expect from a truly 5 Star hotel. Beds uber comfortable!
The pool deck at the top of the hotel is very relaxing and again, the service from the bar and pool staff is superb! You are in the rooftops of Alicante!There is a great view of the castle too which, is well worth walking up to using the zigzag pathway.
I will be coming back as it has become a real home from home for me, I can't recommend Hospes Amerigo highly enough!

Beautiful, older hotel ideally situated close to restaurants, the waterfront and the castle. The hotel is aging, but is very well maintained, and what makes it wonderful is the staff. They know the area well, and can make great recommendations for local restaurants, coffee shops, places to visit. The view of the castle from the rooftop terrace is amazing. We found everyone eager to make us feel comfortable and extended warm, genuine hospitality. The restaurant offers a good value and well-prepared food, but there are probably better options if you want to absorb the vibe of Alicante. For participants in the BonVoy program, be aware that not all the benefits are recognized at this property (for example, no free breakfast) but the staff goes the second mile to provide recognition, like a welcome-drink, a room upgrade, if available, and a lot of extras that make the stay most enjoyable. In short, we loved this hotel and will go back, without a doubt.

It is rare to find a restaurant with a large selection of gluten free options but to find one that is also labelled fine dining is very rare indeed! Hospes Amerigo offered just that with excellent attentive service. An objective critique is warranted on the balance of the ingredients used in the starters: they need more elements to excite the palate: they verged in the bland side. However, overall the restaurant has to be recommended, especially for coeliacs. Enjoy. MarMa

This wonderful building which is set back slightly from the main promenade of Alicante, has to be one of the finest hotels in town! Superb architecture awaits you as you walk through the main entrance. A stunning restaurant which is just set to the side of the hotel , is in a magnificent covered courtyard, serving undoubtedly some of the finest fayre around. The bedrooms are well laid out, and if you’re lucky you can get one with good views!

Happy to help.
A taxi transfer from Alicante airport is not far, and not expensive. The hotel is in the old part of the town, great location from which to walk. There are buses, but arriving at the front door of this lovely hotel by taxi, is my suggestion.

I agree with beautydog. I had a Juliet balcony opening out to the courtyard and the front of the hotel facing the street seemed to offer the same options.
There are more places to choose from in the Alicante area.
