Hotel Les Monges Palace Boutique
Very small room. Hardly enough space to open a small suitcase. Location is excellent however, but car access and parking complicated.

Dormirdcine Alicante
Room was small. It's room for 3 star hotel, not for 4 star. Nearby are excellent 4 star hotels with spatious rooms. This room is basic , but the price wasn't basic. All in all, this is 3 star hotel ( at least it look like 3 star hotel), not 4 star hotel.
