Located in the old section of Alicante in a building that once housed a nunnery, Les Monges is quaint. Rooms are cozy and full of antiques. Not far from cafes, restaurants, museums, the castillo and the waterfront. Taxi let us off at the edge of the old quarter so we walked a couple of blocks with our bags, but it was definitely worth it.

We stayed at Les Monges in September 2008. We stayed in Room 9 which was really nice, great size and for Europe, an exceptional size bathroom. Room service good, mini bar prices reasonable. Nice decor, nice room temperature.
On the first night, there was an awful lot of street noise but it strangely disappeared for the other two nights. There was a confusion about our booking, we had booked three nights but the hotel only had record of one. Pedro sorted this out for us. He also sorted out access to an iron for me.
I would recommend this place, but make sure that you get explicit confirmation of your booking and have some ear plugs. Good value for money.

Stayed in room 8 for 2 days last week.
Nice hotel, friendly people. Clean.
Great location in the middle of the Old city. Close to restaurants,....
Some noise at night.

The room is very small. The bathroom can barely fit one person. Having said that, we only paid 39 euro a night so given that price, I can't really complain. The location cannot be beat - smack right in the old town where all the action is at night.

People in Spain are friendly but my general experience with hotel staff is that they are not that friendly. Our spanish is limited and the staff does not speak English well so it was difficult to get information about the town. But then it is such a small place it is not difficult to figure out the layout/places to see.
