Review Hotel Benidorm Barcelona

| Main entrance to Hotel Benidorm |
The Hotel Benidorm Barcelona is in fact classed as a Hostal which is equivelent to a guest house. See our page on the differences between a hotel, hostal and pension. However for some reason many site visitors refer to it as Hotel Benidorm so for the purposes of this article I will call it hotel Benidorm.
It is a clean and basic hostal on Barcelona's most famous street - Las Ramblas Perfect for back-packers and those travelling on a budget.

Hotel Facilities
The doors are open 24 hours a day so you are free to come and go as you like and enjoy the fact that Barcelona never sleeps. There is a simple seating area in the lobby as well as a coffee/ water machine.
Business Facilities
Hotel Benidorm doesn't have any business facilities.
Rooms
The hotel has 45 rooms of varying sizes and capacities. The rooms have been recently renovated and come with a bathroom, TV, telephone, and heating. The hostal also provides towels.
Hotel Location and Facilities
Drassanes is the nearest metro stop which is 2 minutes away. Next to the hotel Benidorm is a pizza restaurant though being on Las Ramblas means that you have every sort of food at your finger tips. However if you rather buy your own food there is a Spar and several mini-markets just round the corner of Nou de Las Ramblas. Easy Internet café is a few blocks down from the hostal, next to a club called Fellini. I'm afraid you will have to get used to the noise staying at such a central hostal. For a cash machine cross Las Ramblas, and next door to it is a pharmacy. Plaça de Catalunya is less than a 10 minute walk up Las Ramblas.
