"What lovely people! We loved our stay. The staff were really friendly and helpful. They were patient and kind as I tried speaking Spanish. Wonderful! Our room was spotless, the air conditioning was powerful and the room was clearly made to feel welcoming. The location is fantastic for seeing the older part of the city. Views around the corner are great. We had a really relaxing and delicious breakfast here, outside the hotel soaking up some of the Peñíscola atmosphere. Coffee was excellent! This is in the older part of the city… so there are city steps to climb, which may be a factor for people. This place is just lovely. We would book again and thank you so much to the incredibly helpful, smiling staff - your welcome made such a difference!"

"Mon épouse et moi (Couple retraité du Québec) avons séjournés 4 nuits en août 2026. L'hôtel est bien situé avec beaucoup de commodité dans un rayon de 500m. Je n'ai cependant pas réussi à avoir un stationnement dans l'hôtel, à prévoir lors de la réservation. Elle est situé à environ 1.2 km du château et du centre ville, ce qui se fait aisément à pied. C'est excessivement propre et le buffets offre tout ce que l'on peut désirer… et plus. Pour le petit déjeuné, il ouvre à 08:00 hre et est plutôt tranquilles jusqu'à 9:30 hre. Ce n'est pas un hôtel neuf, il y a de petites choses ça et là mais rien de majeur. Notre chambre était dans le bloc secondaire et l'insonorisation particulièrement bonne. Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjours et le recommandons sans aucunes hésitation. Nous sommes plutôt exigent et dédaigneux donc… pas toujours facile à impressionner."

They advertise parking but when you arrive, they have a very limited number of spots and you end up having to park across the street for a very expensive price."
