Excellent Occidental.

Excellent location within the tourist section of the city. Everything is a short walk away from the hotel. The pick of restaurants, tourist attractions and of course the beach. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff, easy check-in process (although the online check-in option before you arrive didn't work for me). Amazing breakfast options from cooked bacon, sausage and eggs, cooked vegetables mix which I haven't seen anywhere else. Cold meats, cheese, bread etc. Limitless coffee and tea from a single machine (so be prepared to queue). More pastries than you can possibly eat in a week of breakfasts. Excellent value for money. The room we had was unfortunately on the first floor, which means NO windows. At least not usable as it opens onto a vertical shaft that has all the air conditioning and heating ducts in it. No daylight. The room was a family room, so a decent size. Good sized bathroom with an excellent walk in shower. Plenty of towels, although paper thin. Plenty of USB sockets around the room for charging stuff, which was very welcome. Apart from the suitcase full of European adapters I had hauled all the way from home! The Occidental is equal to, if not slightly better than the chain hotels from Travelodge and Premier Inn we have here in the UK. Very clean and functional without cluttering up with too much character. Would happily stay here again, but if staying more than one night we would ensure a room with a usable window giving some daylight.

This hotel is centrally located within walking distance of the train station, the bus station, the Mercado, downtown shopping and the lovely sea-side walk. The area is active at night with locals & tourists - it feels safe. It is close to historic sites too.

Great spot

Spent a long weekend here. In a great spot for the hustle and bustle of city life. Hotel itself well presented. Rooms basic but comfortable. Only problem was the smell of drains in bathroom was horrendous but we didn’t complain as couldn’t be bothered to move rooms. Would stop again for the price. Think premier inn or travel lodge

Good value weekend.

Good value for a cheap weekend. Staff were nice and room was clean. Only downside is no kettle in the room which is a pain. However free coffee downstairs at reception but not during breakfast and only the one machine. The location is good, right in the centre. Airport bus stop almost directly across the road.

I was surprised how small the room was but as a solo traveler it was fit for purpose. On the plus side I did have a terrace with seat and a table. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard which I was happy with. The breakfast was exceptional with lots of choices and a glass of cava which was a nice treat. Excellent position for shopping, restaurants and the beach, Thank you very much for a lovely service and hospitality.

I asked for my safety deposit box to be fixed - it never was over the 4 night stay - very inconvenient as had to carry my valuables around with me. The air con didn’t work (again this was ignored) and in the muddle of the night the fridge started making a ridiculous noise!
