Nice little hotel in the centre of Elche. 5-10mins walk to town square.

The hotel was in good location, parking at the hotel was easy. Staff were very good at check in. The hotel is very outdated but shower was great and room was spotless. It did exactly what we needed for 1 night in beautiful Dénia.
We got back to the hotel around 11pm. It was full on party and noisy but didn’t affect us and we could t hear anything from our room.
