Expo hotel

Comment

Loved the atmosphere, service, food, location. John slipped in the bath and hurt his back, head & side - should have been a mat in the old fashioned bath. He is OK now.

Newmarket took us out on long trips so didn't see much of locality. Walked to shop and by river - lovely spot.

Useful comments for improvements but in no way complaints: Pity that a large hotel with lots of 4* facilities doesn't have hairdriers. There is a small piano bar but no pianist :-) Excellent buffet breakfast but it can be rather chaotic if there is a large group in the hotel. Reception staff very knowledgeable, friendly and eager to assist. Rather mean with the contents of the minibar: one small bottle of fizzy water and one small can of beer in a double room and on a hot day seem unreasonably rationed! The hotel is not too close to the town centre and attractions but in the middle of a very attractive shopping centre and with bus and metro stops just outside the front door. Public transport is excellent. Taxi fares very reasonable.

NECO - C/. Pascual y Genis: Large selection of fresh Mediterranean food buffet style. Very good value for money. El Rall - 2 Tunidores: Small but very good restaurant. Just make sure that your taxi driver knows where he is going otherwise you end up touring the old town and the restaurant releases your table. Taberna Alkazar - Mosen Femades: A bit pricey but an absolute must if you are looking for amazing food and first class service.

Nice hotel, with a great swimming pool and bar on the roof - which was a great surprise - it was the perfect hotel for a trip to the city, just a walk from the historic centre

Comment

The walls to your room are very thin & you can hear what is going on in the next room.

There is no car park to the hotel.But they do a special rate of 18.50 euros with the shopping centre next door.

Good location, within 15 minutes walking distance to old town: lovely area for bars and restaurants. Great breakfast; fantastic value for money!

Top Tip

Use airport 'metro bus' number 150 but allow at least 45 mins because of traffic. Drops right outside hotel and was only about 3 Euros return. Open top bus well worth doing, don't miss the oceano and port/beach area.

Impressive front of house with helpful friendly staff. Hotel bar is expensive although bar snack menu seemed reasonable.

oceonagraphic is excellent and bus stop is just outside the hotel. Great chinese resaurnat nearby and good value for money, with a reasonalbe selection of alternatives. Taxi's into the centre are very reasonable although eating can be pricey, beware.

Jorge at the terrace bar was excellent and went out of his way to ensure customers were happy

Location is 5 minutes walk to Quart Gate - entrance to old town. Buffet breakfast is excellent with most things you could think of.

Top Tip

The local bus from the airport costs 1.05 EUR and stops right outside the Expo. Cheap chinese restaurant over the street, food only average. Better restaurants are a long walk away. Science park is a bus ride away, very good day out.
