Hôtel Alba

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! I visit Tampa on business at least 20 times in any given year and have stayed at countless hotels in the area as a diamond member. I wish you could hear the giant nightclub happening in the hotel right now at 7pm on a Sunday night when most people are winding down to prepare for their work trips. The music is so loud it's shaking the entire building. I've called and complained only after being put on hold 20 times before I could even speak to someone and having to call from my cell phone only to be told "deal with it, it doesn't happen every night, and to remember that i'm not paying as much for my room," that's seriously how your employees talk to your customers?!! I was actually going to stay in this hotel this week after our leisure trip ended, but called my company and asked them to cancel after this horrid experience and will be staying with Marriott all next week with my company. But let's start from the top, despite being 5 miles from the airport there's no airport shuttle or any transportation, so enjoy paying $40 for an uber or lyft! I booked a queen room, was given a double room at check-in and when asked if I could at least be transferred into a queen room as the double beds are far too small for my husband was told "maybe on Sunday, but probably not because we could still sell those for more money than you paid," by the front desk associate. He offered me one morning of breakfast in exchange despite me having to stay 4 nights in a double room at almost $1000 (apparently my rate was "discounted" because I used a link provided by a friend to check all rates and selected a friends and family rate which I find hilarious if that's supposed to be some kind of discount as it was more expensive than any other hotel in town and if I had known I was using a friend's special rate would never have utilized it.) Breakfast wasn't actually comped by the way. I went to get a couple of diet cokes and was told by the night associate that I had to pay for them as I was over my provided diamond credit of $30. So either diet cokes are now $16 each or the front desk associate didn't bother to tell the night associate which created another disagreement and me just walking away. All I want now is to check out early, go somewhere that's actually nice for the money I paid, and get a decent night sleep. Oh and on that note good luck with sleeping the walls are so paper thin you'll hear EVERYTHING your neighbor does, and I do mean EVERYTHING. Do yourself a favor, save your money and go stay at a Marriott property.

Hotel cancelled my reservation close to my reservation date which leaves me no choice but to stay in their related Hotel Eliseo suposedly under samecterms .However,, my booking for superior room with 1 queen and 1 single becomes just triple room with 3csingle beds and worst was a bathtub room. Room was changed on next day after i requested for walk in shower and was given a handicapped room . The toilet was sanitized with strong vinegar which was really unbearable. I would like to suggest that hotel should inform guests well in advance to enable the guest to make alternative booking.

It was a very peaceful stay

Wonderful hotel and staff

It’s a nice place, not too far from the sanctuary

Lovely hotel with great rooms (large) free WiFi and an excellent location for walking to the Lourdes grotto and Basilica. Only issue is parking. Onsite parking is 27€ per day at the hotel, however free overnight parking available in the public parking opposite the hotel. A recommended stay for those visiting Lourdes
