Many rooms have large terraces and sea views providing a pleasant beachfront experience. The hotel has a very clean and spacious environment with friendly and helpful cleaning staff. Entertainment and activity programs run throughout the day, suitable for families and retirees. The outdoor pool is noted as the largest in Peñiscola and well maintained. Staff at the front desk are frequently described as helpful and welcoming. The buffet restaurant offers a large selection of foods including vegetarian and kid-friendly options. Several guests reported that buffet hot food is often served tepid and breakfast items repeat daily, which may be monotonous for longer stays. Noise can be an issue, especially for rooms located near the pool where entertainment runs from morning to midnight. Some guests found the parking inconvenient and paid pools and spa amenities add extra costs. A few reviews mention occasional maintenance issues such as faulty air conditioning sensors and lack of in-room refrigerators or coffee makers. The hotel’s location is somewhat distant from the old town, requiring a walk or bike ride to reach historic sites.

Okay, this hotel is perfectly located with, depending on room allocated, great views of the beach and Peniscola Castle. If you want a ‘Full Board’ option with music and entertainment from morning to midnight (break during Siesta) then this is the hotel for you. We had not realised that it would be so noisy, so not the best choice for us as our room was right above the Pool area where all the activities take place. Only grumble with the room was the faulty air-con sensor on the Balcony Door, reported it and it was fixed, only it wasn’t, the sensor box was cracked so everytime the door was opened it came away, it needs replacing. Other than that room was amazing, large and exceptionally clean and cleaning staff very friendly. Biggest grumble was that all of the ‘hot food’ options on the Buffet were tepid at best, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner 🤷‍♂️ Nice location, Nice Hotel but if you are after a little more peace and quiet this is not the hotel for you.

Another great spot. Definitely a retirement vibe here and we were there before busy season. But the hotel was great, food was great. Having laundry services were an added bonus. We got to catch up on laundry. Pool area is beautiful. All around great stay.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

Our stay at Gran Hotel Peñíscola was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the hotel’s warm hospitality, spacious layout, and its unbeatable location right on the beachfront.

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, many offering stunning sea views — waking up to the sound of the waves was a highlight. The hotel’s facilities are excellent: a large outdoor pool, relaxing spa area, and a well-organized buffet restaurant with a wide variety of fresh, delicious food to suit every taste, including vegetarian and kid-friendly options.

What really stood out was the friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome throughout our stay. The entertainment program and activities for families made it especially enjoyable for those traveling with children.

Just a short walk or bike ride from the historic Peñíscola Castle, the location is ideal for exploring while still enjoying peaceful beachfront relaxation.

If you’re planning a holiday on the Costa del Azahar, Gran Hotel Peñíscola is the perfect choice for comfort, convenience, and unforgettable coastal views. Highly recommended!

Just returned from an amazing stay at Gran Hotel Peñiscola! 🌟 The service was top-notch from the moment I arrived, with a friendly check-in that set the tone for my trip. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, and I felt really comfortable throughout my stay. Plus, the restaurant service was fantastic—delicious food and attentive staff! Can't wait to go back! 🍽️

The facilities are awesome. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. The service depends greatly of who you are dealing with. Some employees need a little of an attitude adjustment. I am sure that it becomes tiresome to keep
Repeating the same to the guest questions, however that’s what none stop tourism is.
The meals were ok. Just ok. We did media pension which has us eating a meal outside the hotel and we ate much better. The breakfast was the same items daily so in along stay it may be boring. Location is amazing but a bit far from the old. It is walkable but just be aware.
We had a front seat view and were able
To sleep with the balcony doors open and listening to the waves.
Overall it was fantastic and we would return off season.

Nice place, but very noisy. The sounds echo off the walls and we found it disturbing. Other than that, the place is lovely.

The overall service is satisfactory. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were delicious. Parking is a bit inconvenient. The facilities inside the hotel are convenient.
