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

In full agreement with all rave reviews above. The Les Monges is a little gem right in the heart of Alicante. Our room was small but perfectly OK and we spent a very happy 8 days there. This review is dated February 2008 - just one tiny note of warning. The building next door is being rebuilt and if you... more

Really easy to find after the one Euro priced bus journey from the airport. The hostal was very clean with very comfortable beds with good quality linen. Mini bar still at the 2005 prices we had found on the net (one Euro for beer or soft drink and 3 Euro's for spirits) - good coffee also 1 Euro from the... more

What a gem, my husband and I have just returned from a 3 night stay at this lovely hotel. Hidden in the back streets of the old city, Les Monges Palace is accesible to all the important parts of the city. Our room was beautifully decorated large and airy. The bathroom - "Celestial Sevicio" was large and immaculately clean. There... more

We booked the Monges Palace after having read TripAdvisor reviews and I must say it was a fantastic little hotel with great charm. Well appointed room (no 4), nicely furnished and with airconditioning, hairdryer and tv -- an absolute bargain for 43 euros. Very friendly receptionists. Lots of character in a turn of the century building, beautiful tiles. Alicante's old... more
