The modern, mid-range Eurostars Lucentum sits opposite the beautiful Central Market on one of Alicante's main streets. It's near bars, restaurants, tapas spots, and shops, and is about a 15-minute walk to the beach. Its 169 beige-toned rooms, with some original artwork, have a simple elegance despite the IKEA-style furniture, with views that include the sea and the Castillo Santa Barbara. The hotel serves a reasonably priced buffet breakfast, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. It also has a small gym and sauna, and a business center. Travelers seeking a centrally located hotel with a pool might prefer the Melia Alicante, though rates are higher.

The 545-room Melia Alicante is a large upscale hotel located directly on a beach and half a block from the main drag. Most rooms are contemporary, with great amenities such as flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Standard Rooms, however, have dated decor, including carpets that have seen better days and plain wooden furniture. The outdoor pool is a nice spot to relax, but it is shaded for the most part and therefore cold. The hotel also offers an a la carte restaurant, two bars, meeting space, and a seasonal kids’ club. Additionally, guest get free access to the adjacent sports club. Travelers may want to compare rates and features at the AC Hotel Alicante by Marriott.

The abba Centrum Alicante is an upper-middle-range hotel is set a nine-minute walk from the city center and train station, and 20 minutes from the beach. The 148 rooms are spacious -- aside from tiny Single Rooms -- and well-maintained, with modern bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but few have balconies and some have dated decor. The hotel does not have a pool, but rather a rooftop solarium and a large internal courtyard shaded by a pergola, both of which offer plenty of seating. A restaurant serving well-reviewed food, massage rooms, a gym, sauna, and steam room complete the on-site facilities. Guests looking for access to a pool may wish to consider the AC Hotel Alicante by Marriott.
