The hotel has a fantastic location, just a short walk to the beach, which is great. While I found the staff to be friendly and helpful, the rooms could use some improvement, as I encountered some issues with cleanliness and upkeep. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, though I think they could expand the breakfast selection a bit more. Overall, it's a decent place to stay, but there are definitely areas where they could step up their game.

I had a mixed experience at the Alpha Sovereign Hotel. On one hand, the location was fantastic, close to everything I needed, and the rooms were spacious with good amenities. However, I faced significant issues with the service during check-in and the room's cleanliness was lacking, which dampened the experience for me. Overall, it had its perks, but a few major hiccups make me hesitant to return without some improvements.

I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, located just a block from the tram stop and within walking distance to major attractions. The rooms were spacious and comfy, although they do show signs of aging. The service, unfortunately, wasn’t the best; I received incorrect information about parking, which ended up costing me. On the plus side, dining options nearby were quite good, offering great value for what you pay.

I had a pretty mixed experience at the Alpha Sovereign Hotel.

The hotel offers a decent stay overall with clean rooms and a friendly staff, but it does feel a bit dated and could use some updates. The location is quite good, with a short walk to the main part of Surfers, but the views from the balcony weren't ideal because of neighbors. Dining was a mixed bag; while some options were good, others were disappointing. For the price, it feels fair, but don’t expect luxury.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious and had a lovely view overlooking the canals, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was really convenient, close to the tram station and away from the hustle and bustle, which was great. However, the room had a mouldy smell that just wouldn't go away, and it took a while to air it out. The service could have been a bit friendlier too, especially when I needed to sort out my reservation details. Overall, I think it's decent value for money given the price, but the upkeep could definitely use some improvement.

I had quite an experience at the hotel. While the location was convenient and made it easy to explore the area, I was really disappointed with the state of the rooms, which were in desperate need of refurbishment.

The hotel had a great location, not too noisy but close enough to walk to Cavill Ave in Surfers Paradise. The rooms were pretty basic and could use some updates, but the staff was friendly, especially Dorotea.

El hotel tenía una ubicación excelente, a solo 5 minutos a pie de la playa, lo que fue realmente conveniente. Las habitaciones eran limpias y cómodas, aunque necesitaban un poco de renovación.
