Didn't have breakfast, the room was small but very comfortable, cosy and quiet. Slept really well. The staff were very accommodating in particular Debby who was lovely. The roof top terrace is stunning.

Hotel Boutique Alicante Palacete S.XVII - Adults Only
Lovely hotel in a fabulous location. Would have appreciated some coffee and more than two sugar sachets and tiny milk pods with the room drinks making facilities.. it was quite skimpy on what is offered.We went to the supermarket and bought our own but I think it should have been provided.
