Peniscola Hoteller

All very clean and modern Buffet food service was not particularly attractive or appetising

The beach front and terrace. Selection of food during breakfast and dinner were great. The hotel was rated 4 stars which we did not think it's right. The room, bed,bathroom had been built in a cheap way and no style.The room had no sound proved system. The air-con made very loud noise so that the room next to us had to put TV very, very loud until after midnight while we had been driving for more than 300 kms and would need a good sleep.

The food was awful, and much of it was inedible. Guests were moved through hotel and restaurant like cattle. Pool was only open for kids 1 hr/d despite being empty.

Very nice town for sightseeing or just lying on the beach or sitting at the pool.

Proximity to the beach, which is quieter than the beach nearer the old town (separated by a road and promenade, though it doesn't look like that in the photos), spacious rooms and jacuzzi, reasonably soundproofed, swimming pool, bars nearby for drinks and ice-creams. If you're looking for the quieter side of Peñiscola then it's the perfect pace for you. Bear in mind that it's about 200/300m from Benicarlo. Check-in was fast and efficient. Hotel description:3km stroll to Peñiscola town- not true. It's at least 5km/an hours stroll- even by car it takes 15/20 mins.The quality of the food was certainly not 4*, hardly even 3*. The breakfast was pretty awful (almost undrinkable coffee & fake, overly sweet juices). The dining room was really crowded at ALL times, and queues were the norm to get in & to get any food which made the dining experience a bit of an ordeal. I'd recommend eating in one of the many local restaurants which are great value.The spa was extra, kids not allowed either. The room we had was at the end of a 300m corridor...not for the old or infirm. Why do we have to pay for parking?a bit of a rip off!

Nice, quiet location. Fine swimming pool

1. Facilities are reasonable 2. Food is OK - well managed buffet but you can see it is prepared to a budget. 3. If your British and like bacon, don't go there with big expectations. 4. Staff were helpful and but working seemlessly. 1. Having to queue for 45 minutes to check in, must improve check in procedure. 2. Paying for car parking, but no spare space & lack of road to park in near the hotel -> no mention of this in their web page. 3. Hotel is surrounded by building under construction, looks like a building site! 4. Children under 12 years can not use the indoor pool in the SPA.

location, pool

Hotel was very noisy

comfort, location No towel service, strange for a 4 star hotel. Reservation system for diner is strange (just breakfast included, and problems to have diner in one of the a la carte restaurants

The fact that the beach was right infront of the hotel and the cheap bar next door to the complex, with euro1.70 beers. If you want to holiday in a retirement village where families come to visit the old folk then this is the place. Get to breakfast very early to avoid numerous screaming children.

The level of service at the spa was excellent and the food was good. The hotel was a "work in progress". The were no staff on hand apart from at reception which was always very busy. The bar was closed until 11pm in the evening and there did not appear to be anybody in charge anywhere.

Position in Resort, Helpfulness of Reception Staff

Location only It smelled terrible. Mirror broken in room. Old and worn down. A lot of money for lack of quality which was very different from other rooms we booked with you.

The possibility of taking my dog. The room I was given was over the discoteca and, although most of the other guests were OAPs, there was a lot of noise (dancing, etc.) until very late. I had decided to break my journey in Peñiscola and was hoping to have a good long sleep, but it wasn't possible.

location, town in general

Beautiful place, good menu.

Hotel stuff kindly prepared a good room with nice view. People working at hotel were extremely nice! Hotel itself was very old and non-modern style with non-nice exterior or interior appearance. The hotel did not provide any luxuary feeling. The hotel looked one of the worst comparing to other hotels in the same area. However the hotel price was really high.

Super ruidoso, super viejo "de cuentame" y la ventana de los baños da al pasillo
