Lovely location for view of castle and old town, plus just over road from beach. Room was good, clean, well-equipped. Balcony view was somewhat disappointing and a real heat trap, but Peñiscola and it beaches are so lovely, we didn’t spend much time at the hotel. Reception staff were lovely: we did not fly home till the evening, so asked for late checkout which was not possible cos hotel was fully booked (totally understand) but receptionist kindly offered us towels and use of the spa shower before we left for the airport at 5pm. Brilliant. The reason for a lower rating is that the hotel is located next door to an open air nightclub which is open until 3am - fortunately the music stopped at 2.30. It was horrifically loud (with windows/doors closed, even with earplugs and pillow over head) and, not knowing when it going to end, made the one night we stayed awful and stressful. I still would not have been happy about it but I would have appreciated being advised at check-in about the disruption, to have at least known when it was going to end. I would not stay in a hotel within 500 metres+ of that area because of that noise. Another gripe about the hotel is the loud background music they play in the bar/terrace: poor cover version tracks are not my taste but it was the volume that was annoying. It was too loud for background. Even in reception it was playing. We did not eat/drink there because of that. I know that appears to be an obsession in tourist areas - that silence or the sound of the world around you are things that must be drowned out by non-stop music - so it is hard to avoid but some places keep the volume down to less invasive levels. I recommend going a few hotels down to Castillo hotel, where the music was more chilled level, with the same great view plus the food, drinks and waiters were lovely.
