The hotel is small and very clean. The staff friendly and most spoke good English.Lots of Spaniards stay there, which for me was a good thing as I like to get a Spanish feel in Spain! The food was ok, but a nightmare for me as I am Vegetarian and most nights there was only cheese and salad for dinner for me, which is one reason I would not return there. The position is excellent. On the seafront, on the flat- which suited my elderly mum- and just a short walk from the town centre and Poniente beach. HOWEVER...do not think about booking this hotel without making sure that you have a room with a seaview. The other rooms have no view at all...except a dark vertical tunnel, overlooking another two rooms and a blank wall- like a square of darkness! We had to go onto the balcony (which not all rooms had) and look up to see the sky and determine what the weather was like before getting dressed in the morning! It was, frankly, depressing. I think most Brits get a kick out of seeing the sun shine into their rooms when abroad, but in these rooms there was not even daylight filtering in, and, unfortunately, my sister was ill for a few days and had to spend more time in there than anyone would want to. We booked with Travel Republic, and they call these rooms promo rooms. There are only about 25 rooms on the front of the hotel, but I would strongly advise you to book ONLY one of those, or not bother. This hotel is most suitable for older guests, but if you have to hire a mobility scooter, they won't be happy about letting you plug it in in the lobby. Young people would hate it there. There is a tiny rooftop pool which is only accessible by stairs, but it's a suntrap up there!

I've just returned from a 3 night stay at the Marconi and I was really impressed. I traveled as part of a group of three 30ish year old women. We went away for a cheap and cheerful break in the sunshine. To begin with we all had fairly low expectations of Benidorm itself, but the Old Town is lovely as is this hotel which sits on the sea front on the edge of the Old Town, we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay.
Location: A five minute leisurely stroll into the bars, restaurants and shops of the Old Town, 10 minutes in a taxi to the New Town and a quick hop across the road to a glorious beach.
Rooms: Ours was a triple room, three single beds, clean bathroom with shower, as we'd gone cheap and cheerful we had an interior room which had a balcony overlooking a tiny courtyard where we could just about touch the other balconies, although as we literally used the room for sleeping and showering we were not at all upset by this. Our room was cleaned daily, beds made, towels if left out were changed and a quick flick around with a mop.
Service: Again faultless, we asked for extra pillows and they arrived, we asked if we could use a hair dryer and there it was, asked for extra towels and hey-presto! The staff speak limited English (more English than I speak Spanish in fairness) but were polite and patient and always eager to help.
Pool: The pool is on the roof terrace, it's tiny but the views up there are amazing and we had uninterrupted sunbathing from 11am-7pm, so once again no complaints there. Staff were happy for us to buy drinks at the local supermarket and take them up with us too, so no need to buy from the hotel bar and cart a supply of drinks up 6 floors all day.
Food: We stayed half board, it was only £6 extra each for the whole stay. The dining room was by way of a small buffet, food on a hot plate with salads and bits available. It's never going to get any Michelin stars but the food was hot, edible and plentiful.
All in all I would recommend this hotel to any adults looking for a quiet spot with access to all the fun of Benidorm. Great if you want to explore the old town or soak up the sun, probably not brilliant if you have young children but for a grown up getaway on a budget I don't think you could ask for more.

I had read a mixture of reviews, and was almost put of by some, however I found this budget hotel great value for money, and in one of the best locations. You just walk out the door and your on the beach.
This is a Spanish hotel and I went full board, the food was Spanish, and there was plenty and tasty, but don't expect English food, though chips are available everyday. It was a good selection of food and different everyday.
I found all the staff very friendly and helpful and would recommend this hotel which is located next to the old town.
I only have 1 criticism and that is that there is no English channels on the tv, it would have been nice to have at least 1.

This hotel is in a fantastic position overlooking sea on the Poniente beach only few mins from Marina and Old Town. We found this hotel very friendly and helpful especially the bar man where the drinks were very fairly priced, which is rare nowadays in a holiday hotel. Rooms were comfortable and very clean, nothing fancy but as this is a smaller value hotel you get what you pay for. Restaurant was good, sometimes a few strange selections but different selection every night and always a lovely fresh salad bar. The Poniente side of Benidorm is predominently Spanish orientated but this is exactly what we wanted. Will deffo return.
