A lovely hotel with classic interior and good furnishings, set in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance of the old section of Altea. Agree in that regard with all previous comments. The room was spacious and the beds were two singles placed side-by-side. We prefer one large bed, but we were fine with the arrangement. Nice bathroom with fairly large bath to soak in. We had a car, and since it was a bit chilly in the evening and we could see from previous reviews that the walk from the hotel can be dark, we drove the 1 km or so to the start of the old town area and walked the rest. What a magical section that part of Altea is, with the labyrinth of narrow, cobble-stoned streets, dotted with small shops and eateries. .
Service and hospitality at the hotel was pleasant and welcoming. The outside areas looked very nice, but it's December and our time at the hotel was in the evening and early morning when it was a bit too chilly to enjoy.
The only reason we rate the hotel a "4" rather than a "5" is that we experienced quite a few small ants in our room as well as in the breakfast room the following morning. Simple enough to brush these aside, but they were a bit annoying. Hopefully it's something that can be remedied by the management. The breakfast buffet offering was modest, but had everything we would want.
