Hotel Castillo Benidorm

First and foremost this hotel is brand new. It is exceptionally clean and a great deal of attention has been paid to getting it right. Its location is spot on. 2 minutes walk from the beach. Parking is limited so the owner Julio offers a daily rate in a private car park at 10 euro a day which was a lot cheaper than the local car parks at 18 per day. Remember this is the old town so space is at a premium. The complimentary breakfast is a continental type, we opted to wander to the end of the street and buy the full English for 3.99. Free hot drinks are available 24 hrs but no coffee making facilities in the room. Hair driers are available on request at no charge. The beds were comfy with memory foam pillows There is a small clean balcony with two chairs and a table to sit and drink a beer from the fridge in your room. In fairness I would say this is a hotel for couples not families only because there isn't a great deal for them to do, there is a TV in the room but unless you can soak Spanish then you won't understand what is being said, no sky here I am afraid, but we didn't go there to watch telly. The staff were lovely and very helpful. This is a gem in the old town, brilliant if you want to experience the area as the locals live it. Great for the many tapas and other restaurants, easy walk to the beach and about 10 minutes walk to the start of the strip. I definitely recommend.
