Well organised crew, from the folks at the parking gate to the receptionists they were efficient and clear about everything.
Rooms were clean and bright. Perhaps ever so slightly dated, but it's OK for a beach hotel. Very convenient bus service to the city center running throughout the day for a modest price.
Sadly there was no smart TV to watch Netflix oder YouTube

The Hotel weak WiFi and phone line coverage meant my wife and I had to cut short our stay as we couldn’t not work from the hotel, which is the reason why we chose it, as it was part of our work holiday. The rest of the hotel was fine but as we were not able to enjoy our stay, this left us a bitter experience.
It was very clean and like new, and the room service was great. But there was a refrigerator in the room that was not working purposely, as they said it could only be used for a cooler. There was no ice, and you can’t drink the tap water, they wanted you to buy your drinking water! Insane! Also, there was no parking, and we had to park 2 miles away from the hotel to find street parking. The beach is very nice, and more quiet then the southern part, the water is prettier also. I wouldn’t stay again, Too much of a hassle with kids.
Property is dated but clean. Very sparse in decor, no pictures on the wall. The location is good and convenient to the beach. We purchased the Full Board option but the food was pretty gross and the fact you have assigned times to eat felt very limiting. It wasn't ideal to plan our day around when we could eat. We ended up not eating there but there is an excellent restaurant just steps away. Overall, I'd give the property a 3.5 out of 5. Staff weren't very friendly or helpful. I don't think we'd return b/c it is was very loud with music going well into the night.

Decepcionado porque no han tenido la mínima consideración. Debido a la Dana y el corte de la autopista, llamé para decir que no podría usar mi reserva pero no me lo cogieron. A la mañana siguiente me devuelven la llamada y me dicen que contacte con ellos por e-mail para que me devuelvan el coste de la reserva. Así hago y me dicen que lo sienten, pero que ni siquiera les llamé para decir que no iría y que como la reserva era no reembolsable no me devolverían el dinero. Contacto con hoteles.com (a través de la app que hice la reserva) y lo me contestan que la reserva se hizo directamente con el hotel, que ellos no pueden hacer nada. Vamos, que me han llamado mentiroso y me han robado.
El spa no pudimos usarlo porque solo fue una noche de paso, pero me hubiera venido muy bien. Y las vistas daban a la piscina y como era de noche estaba muy bonita. La habitación muy amplia para tres y bonita decoración.

Fantastisk udsigt fra vores familieværelse. Vi kom i oktober, ikke specielt børnevenligt, alle tiltag til børn var lukket. Meget ældre venligt og meget populær ved pensionister.
Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuit, en demi-pension, la restauration était parfaite, le personnel aimable et à l'écoute. Nous avons passé une très agréable journée et nuit dans votre établissement. Nous y reviendrons et le conseillerons à nos proches.
Familiar, gente muy profesional con entretenimiento en todo momento.

Das Gran Hotel Peniscola liegt ca. 3 km vom
Altstadtkern entfernt. Es bietet relativ grosse Zimmer, die einfach möbliert sind. Auch das Badezimmer wirkt etwas in die Jahre gekommen, war aber sauber. Das Essen war eher mittelmässig . Das Hotel wird sehr stark von Familien mit Kindern besucht.
In der Hochsaison ist das Hotel sehr voll und die Preise sind angesichts der gebotenen Leistung sehr hoch um nicht zu sagen. Nicht angemessen. Dies betrifft mittlerweile aber ganz Spanien als Urlaubsland . Wir werden das Hotel nicht wieder besuchen und würden es auch nicht weiter empfehlen.

Ok hotell
Det var otroligt lyhört, vi trodde nästan vi hade dörren öppen ut till korridoren och sängarna var hårda. Annars var det ett ok hotell för en natts övernattning men inte 4-stjärnigt i mina ögon.
