“This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2008

people found this review helpful

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. My girlfriend and I (aged 27 & 30) from the very moment we entered the hotel were made to feel uncomfortable by the arrogant and pretentious staff. The hotel resembled some kind of gothic church with a morbid and depressing décor. Following the trail of horrible stained glass windows preventing the natural sunlight from brightening the corridors, our room was stumbled upon in the very furthest corner of the building. Entering the room was no different as we were greeted by a mixture of dark lighting, hard furniture and a musky smell that would only be acceptable to the dead. Our window had an exquisite view of a car park. The bathroom was no improvement, as the hospital clinical feel kept in line with archaic theme and general unpleasantness of this catastrophe of accommodation. To add insult to the ordeal, removing ourselves post-hast was a mixture of threats and stern looks towards two sad faced old trouts who pathetically and un-helpfully tried to prevent our escape. The only reward for the waste of one hour of “holiday time” was finally receiving a full refund! In short, this hotel is a shambles of a residence that would only be appropriate to those who want to spoil their holiday or endure a slow death in miserable depressing location.

“Loved the hotel & location”

Just back from staying 8 nights in Hotel Delfin (initially only booked 4 nights as was not sure Benidorm and hotel was the type of holiday resort I'd like). However got it wrong. The hotel which is in the quieter area of Benidorm is beautiful (Cala) - situated next to beach. The hotel itself is old world spainish - beautifully kept - lovely garden and good size swimming pool. Bedrooms spotlessly clean with staff very friendly and helpful. We only stayed B&B - breakfast is good - continential - meats, cheeses, etc. There is limited hot food - so don't expect full irish breakfast. Do make sure you get a room with garden/sea view.
There is a safe for each room at €2 per day which is really good value in comparison to other hotels. The hotel feels safe, has security at night and at no stage was I concerned about pick pockets, theft. Now that's not to say not be careful.

There are a good number of restaurants beside hotel and some bars. However, do go into benidorm old town/new town. Taxi only 6/7 euro and will arrive in minutes once booked. The local bus runs beside hotel every 20 mins. The profile benidorm has gotten doesn't protrait the wonderful restaurants it has in old town, the lovely spainish bars, great shopping area, fabulous promenades and white sandy beaches.

The cost of a meal for two in restaurant (by Irish standards) is very reasonable. €1.25 for a glass of vino is really good!.

In the 'Levante' area of Benidorm - there is the bar strip - which is very busy at week-ends and has hen & stag parties. However, if this isn't your scene, there are nice bars on the 'Levante' promenade which has entertainment yet not the 'noise/crowd' level.

  • Liked — The standard of hotel for the cost paid
  • Disliked — Nothing to fault

“One of the best”

Where do we start
My wife and I read a review of this hotel in The Sunday Times a few years ago, so we decided we must go.

We have now been going for our fourth (4 ) year running and is really a hidden gem, not many british holiday makers use this hotel, mainly Spanish.

They say the position is everthing, This Hotel has it all set well away from Benidorm. It is in Playa Poniente with the Beach & Sea right in front of the hotel " wonderful views " .

Standard of rooms is very high, lovely restaurant and bar you can book, Room only, B&B, half pension or full pension.

It is set in its own grounds with outdoor pool, lovely gardens and a free car park for residents, all the staff including reception speak English.

If you book ask for a Garden view ( delux ) not a street view as these are standard rooms.

I have found a website that has booked this hotel for me in the UK, called [-] very helpful or you can book direct with the Hotel.

Stayed April 2007
