Hotel Avenida

Stayed 27/4/24-4/5. First time at this hotel and stayed all inclusive. Traveled by taxi and was dropped off at the top of a pedestrian only area, at, the Avenida De Ruzafa where there is a Taxi rank and about 5-10 mins walk from the hotel. Arrived about 13.30 and checked in at a small reception area. This only took about 10 mins as it was not busy. Incidentally, as I booked direct with the hotel, it was pay on arrival. After given the usual basic hotel info and directions to my room via the lifts, I then joined a couple of people waiting, which took ages as the (2) lifts were slow and small, with a 4 persons limit which, really would only be 2 plus luggage in reality. For someone in a wheelchair it might be a tight squeeze. I was lucky as my room was on the 1st floor. The room was very clean and reasonably large with a double bed, plenty of wardrobe hangers,storage space,safe, small fridge flat screen tv. The tv was positioned a bit high up, this was because there was a once connecting door which was now the luggage storage facility. The bathroom had a twin headed shower which had good pressure and good hot water, with plenty of shower gel, the wash basin had some nice complimentary accessories,also a hairdryer. Leading off from the bedroom was a large balcony with a table and 2 chairs. This was overlooking the pedestrianised crossroad area. This was ideal for people watching (and I saw some sights). However, it should be noted that there was a school for 6-16yo which the senior pupils seemed to gather right outside my window at about 07.40 and were noisy until 08.00, (alright I was young once) the other thing I should mention, which I didn't notice till the 1st May was about 02.45 the bin men briefly came as well as the street washer,and they were noisy. Now for me, the Bar and Restaurant were only a short walk down stairs,which given how slow the lifts were, was a blessing. As for the bar, it was fairly small but was well stocked with branded drinks, 1 Estrella and 1 Old English cider pump. The service was very good. The bar was situated in a well appointed lounge/entertainment area,although, depending where you were seated, the small stage area could be obstructed by pillars. There was also a small dance area. Onto the restaurant it had plenty of seating with tables for 2,4,8 persons (thou this could be adjusted) they were clean with plate cloth,cutlery,napkin a drinks glass. The food was varied, although maybe a bit repetitive, having said that I personally had no trouble at not being too repetitive. It was of a good quality,fresh and warm to hot(depending on the timing) there was a microwave, but, I never saw anyone use it. The food was constantly topped up. Yes the staff did clear the tables quickly but not as though they were rushing you. If I had a slight problem, it was the first time of using the restaurant, I was asked what drink I would like, but was not asked again till two days later,I expect if I had asked I could have got a drink.

Nice enough hotel , rooms basic but beds comfortable. Was all inclusive plus [ not sure what the plus was tho ??] No tea or coffee making facilities in the room which we found extremely annoying, nothing in the fridge not even water , when we rang down to reception we were told we had to pay to use the fridge for either a soft drink package or an alcohol package, even tho we were all inclusive !! The snack that were supposed to be available all day were a joke , it consisted of a few plates covered in cling film, a microwave, cold burgers , stale buns, cold hot dog sausages, salad , cooked meats and cheese which you had to eat inside the restaurant, no staff were there so you had your wander to the bar to get a drink and bring it back into the restaurant to eat your re- heated burger lol.pic enclosed of the snacks . Quite a few of the staff were rude and surly , one or two were nice tho. Cleaner came in every day and the room always smelt lovely.

Currently staying here, lifts rather small and pool area small too however they are only minor issues. Food is brilliant, rooms are great, shower very powerful and the staff so far have been fantastic specially in the restaurant! Location is also great. Definitely would stay here again

Great hotel on edge of old town surrounded by nice shops bars and restaurants very close to the sea. Lovely bar. Friendly helpful and professional staff. Loved the food cooked freshly in front of you. Tip - book a room with outside balcony.

Very clean, ideal location , right in the middle of the new and old town, close to the beach and the night *****, but not affected by noise

Despite emailing the hotel before l travelled stating my disability with osteo arthritis l have been stuck in room 408 on the 4th floor with no balcony which l requested ..so my mobility is severely restricted....l have booked for 28days from10th june and l can't even sit out on a balcony when l complained l was told sorry no rooms ...which there most certainly are ...what disgusting treatment James Taylor

Just home today. Fabulous holiday. Hotel very clean, comfy beds, something for everyone at meals. The staff are a credit to the hotel, so friendly and cannot do enough for you. Special mention to Lucien on reception, what a lovely man and unfortunately I don't know the name of the lady that cleaned room 122, she cleaned our room to an exceptional standard and always had a big smile for you. Thank you all for our lovely stay. We will be back. Kind regards Linda

Perfect choice when planning on staying in the old town. Central to just about everything. Good food. We travelled with JET2 on half board. The drinks with our evening meal were very affordable. We requested room to be set up with 3 single beds and this was all in order on arrival. We were on the first floor which was ok but suggest ask for higher floor. Normally do this but was too bothered about the 3 beds being in place! The staff were pleasant and very efficient plus some had been there for a very long time. The roof top terrace was much better than we had expected and nicer than the photo's. Quite busy but noted extra sunbeds were stacked up so there if you wanted one. The lifts were tiny. We got the knack of them eventually. The pillows were very lumpy indeed. Perhaps new ones needed soon.....Everything else was brilliant. Will recommend.

Lovely reception and staff exelent clean rooms, tip top restaurant. In a great location. Would suit most ages but not young people
