Hotel & Spa Castillo de Peñíscola

The cleanest and best interior finishing quality hotel I have seen in Spain! Personnel active and notices details, rooms clean and fresh, cleaning quality excellent, walls and doors noise isolation level great. Breakfast and dinner quality good, (only suggestion would be adding basic veggies like cucumber and tomato to breakfast selection). Location excellwnt and easy to access. Parking secure and isolated. Best stay of Spanish approx 20 hotels I have seen. Also beats some 5 star specimens.

Very nice looking place but weirdly no coffee set up in room and cafe doesn’t open until 10. And they wouldn’t let us just get coffee from the breakfast room. Didn’t get an upgrade or offered the ‘free tour’, no parking available and unfortunately the desk clerk has very little English- which in a 4 star hotel really shouldn’t happen

We really enjoyed our visit. Excellent location just near the beach and a short walk to the old town. We enjoyed the buffet style food in the hotel's restaurant. The room was small but had everything we needed. We were there during the "Moors and Christians" festival - a highlight especially with the fireworks and costumed groups in the parade. The resort and hotel is popular with the Spanish and French is often easier to communicate with as a second language rather than English - although don't be put off if you only speak English. Long day trips to Valencia and Morella were also highlights but an especially long day visiting Valencia. The trains work reliably. Taxi from Benicarlo station to the hotel was 18 euros. A good and memorable trip.

Absolutely beautifully presented Hotel,our stay here was lovely,staff so very friendly & helpful Our room & premises are just A1 for cleanliness.

I gave this hotel a 5 due to the location, near to all bars, restaurants, shops, the friendly/helpful staff and the fact that it’s new and in excellent condition. Having gold status meant I was eligible for an upgrade if available. I had to ask for it as it wasn’t offered and they gave me a sea-facing room on the first floor with a huge balcony. However, it didn’t feel like an upgrade as the room was very small and I wasn’t able to enjoy the balcony as it offered no privacy. That said, the room was comfortable and cleaned to a high standard. One point for improvement would be the breakfast which was very limited. On the whole I really enjoyed my stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

A stylish hotel with spartan design, stunning sea views, and a fantastic location right next to the seafront LOCATION: Located in the heart of North beach and with easy access to the castle and all key points of interest DINE + DRINK: Lovely rooftop bar that is not to be missed as well as a chilled-out cafe /lounge near the lobby - both with stunning views of the castle and ocean ROOM: We stayed in Room 301, so this review is based on that; VIEW: Million-dollar views of the sea and castle from the cute balcony attached to the room; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting me to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: Good cosmetics FACILITIES: The biggest letdown was the very pool ‘Gym’ which was nothing more than a tiny room with a couple of worn-out machines! The outdoor pool was decent SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all our needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout out to ANGELA at the front office for enhancing our stay HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free LOW-SPEED Wi-Fi (around 10 Mbps) that works well all over the property. Huge Plasma TV screen dishing out a wide variety of channels spanning sports, news, music, movies, and entertainment - PRIMARILY IN SPANISH ONLY!

Stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed the hotel. Nice modern room with fridge, safe, coffee maker. Room also has a balcony with chairs. Good buffet breakfast. Nice pool and small gym. The hotel is right across from the beach and within walking distance from the old town. Many bars and restaurants nearby.
