Charming place, decent size room and bathroom, wi-fi, and a great location in the old town. You can stay in bigger, more modern places elsewhere in Alicante, but this place is more boutique-y but without the prices to match (I paid 56 euro for each of two nights). It's an old building, with character, but the plumbing works just fine,... more

This was our third stay in 6 years, the hostal itself ( decor) has not changed from year to year. Our room this time was a small twin with an extremely small shower/toilet. The minibar prices are very cheap ie 1euro for soft drinks & beers. 3 euros for spirits. Internet access via the Hostal laptop is 3 euros per... more

Hostal Les Monges is located right in the center in the old part of the town of Alicante. The rooms are small but clean and all with bathroom and aircon. The price (about 50 euro a night) is reasonable. Despite this all the hotel is not as good as some travel guides say: we found our rooms without style, atmosphere... more

After reading the fabulous reviews for Les Monges Palace on TripAdvisor I called them and booked a nights stay for the 2 May 2008. We were en route to Tabarca Island (a great place) for 2 nights and decided to do a night in Alicante first. Now I wish we hadn't bothered! After booking directly with the hotel and giving... more

We are just back from a two night stay in Hostal Les Monges and have no complaints. Like other reviewers have said, the rooms are small, but they are perfect for a short break when most of the time is spent sightseeing! Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Rooms are basic but clean and towels/linen is changed daily. Bathroom is... more

Like another reviewer, I think my expectations of this place were too high - you do get what you pay for, so I should have known. The rooms were pretty small, dark and didn't smell good and the floors were pretty filthy. However we didn't spend much time in the room so it wasn't a hugh drawback but if I... more

have just come back from a girly weekend (age ranging from 20 - 50) and have to say had a very pleasant time in alicante. The Hostel is charming, located in the idyllic spanish back streets, with authentic tiles, quirky staircases and wrought iron balconies. There were 3 of us in our room, hence, we had an extra campbed in... more

Spent four enjoyable nights in the resort. As we arrived on the weekend of Palm Sunday we were fortunate enough to witness the festival of Semana Santa in all its glory without having to move from our bedroom! Friendly and helpful staff. Clean, comfortable rooms which more than met our needs and were good value for money. The hotel was... more

I suppose after reading all the reviews, our expectations could have been on the high side, but we did feel a bit disappointed. The room was small and we had to squeeze ourselves round the door to get into the bathroom. We stayed at the end of the week and into the weekend and were disturbed by the street noise.... more
