Hotel Playa Victoria in Cadiz

Hotel from the 90s and it shows. Big room great bed. Noisy city side but ok with closing the Windows. 3 star hotel in my opinion. Nice personnel.

PROS: The staff are very polite and helpful. The location is good, on the beach and near most amenities and selection of bars and restaurants. Although the quality of food generally is not very good. It’s a very touristy place.
The breakfast at the hotel is good, but some items like pancakes you could only get if you eat before 9am and the “hot food” is more lukewarm or cold that hot.

CONS:. At €330 a night for bed and breakfast you may expect some luxury but unfortunately you will not get any. The rooms are small and very dated and lack very basic facilities such as tea/coffee machines, slippers and ropes that usually you get in 4/5 star hotels. Our room had sea views and that part was nice, but there was a smell of damp and sweat as soon as we walked in which would not go away no matter how much we aired the room. We could not even get WiFi in our room. The hotel said they had problems with their provider. The hotel was full so we could not get another room and as we had prepaid, refund was not available either to go somewhere else. The pool is very small and kids and adults are jumping into it all the time so forget about a peaceful swim or sitting by the pool. There are only around 20 or so sunbeds available. Nowhere near enough for the demand. To hire a sunbed on the beach is €22 for 2 beds which is around €10 more than average and can get very expensive if you want to sit on the beach every day. The hotel car park is also expensive at €23 per day and in high season it is almost always full. There are nearby parkings around €17/€18 per day, but they’re also often full and some are so tight that you cannot even get out of the car. Basically, avoid Cádiz in summer months as it’s very crowded and everything is overpriced including the hotels!
