Hostal les Monges Palace, Alicante

Advantages: Cheap, clean, comfortable, nice breakfast and staff, easy to visit all of Paris
Disadvantages: None

...This week we had a 2 night break to Paris; we stayed in the Hotel Residence Monge. I found the hotel on the internet through Parishotels.com. I then used various review sites to find out what others thought. Area The hotel is situated in the 5th arrondissement, walking distance to Notre Dame. It was a nice area to walk around in; plenty of lovely restaurants, bars and shops only 5 minutes walk away. 2 metro stops are nearby, Luxembourg and Place Monge. We ate out both evenings. Both meals were lovely and reasonably priced, but I can't remember names of restaurants. Hotel The hotel is fairly basic. It's a 2*. We choose it as a base for somewhere to sleep. You walk into reception, which has a couple of settee's in front. It is quite a dark reception. Next to reception is a small breakfast room. More on breakfast later... Read review

..., the best in the Cosat Blanca area. Fiestas in Alicante: •••••••••••••••••• Its funny how fiesta rhymes with siesta & its quite fitting seeing that Spain in general always seem to be celebrating some festive occasion & when their not partying they are sleeping " LA SIESTA" ........ What a carefree nation , but hey it works for the locals & it surly works for me. All cities/towns in Spain completely transform themselves when the fiesta season arrives & Alicante is at the forefront when it comes to festive celebrations. The locals "Alicantinos" prepare & transform the city into a grand spectacle , one of the most important festive occasions in the calender month - known as " Les Fogueres de Sant Joan" held towards the end of June...

Advantages: Decent Cheap accomidation, Rooms are good enough for what we need, Nice View From The Window, Cheap
Disadvantages: No Taxi Drivers have any idea where it actually is, The description of The rooms when we booked.

...As I'm sure some of you will be aware, I was in Barcelona for a long weekend to celebrate my 21st birthday, well one of the most important things, after booking your flights is finding a place to stay. And as one of the guys we were going with is at Uni, we needed to find something reasonable but cheap for the 4 nights we would be staying there. Well that's where the Hostal Lami comes in. Not exactly a Hostel more of a cheap hotel a bit like our Travel Lodge. Booking & Pricing *************** Obviously when we decided to go to Barcelona a couple of months ago we needed a decent place to stay so by chance having bought the flights through Opodo.co.uk there was a small advert for a hotel at just €38. That works out at roughly £25 a night, which when you consider hotels right in the centre were about €138 a night that... Read review
