I liked the location Was very central in the old town Staff very good Rooms basic but just enough We had a view down the street from the view point at beach Was nice but a bit noisy 🔔 The church bell starts at 9 am Goes of every qtr hr Until 9 pm Or something like that But it gave a nice cultural feeling to the location We were b-b

The walls are very thin you can hear a pin drop And much more 😂 Could do with more than 2 sockets in the room There are signs at the rooftop pool saying you can’t reserve sun loungers But this was never managed Fresh orange at breakfast was so sweet Concentrate

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location is absolutely perfect—situated close to fantastic local restaurants and just a stone’s throw away from beautiful beaches. Whether you’re looking to explore the local scene or relax by the shore, this hotel offers the best of both worlds. The staff were incredibly helpful and communicative throughout my stay. They went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed, providing excellent recommendations and making me feel truly welcome. One of the highlights of this hotel is the pool area. With a breathtaking view, it was the perfect spot to unwind and take in the scenery. The atmosphere was so relaxing that I found it hard to leave. Overall, this hotel offers an exceptional experience with its prime location, attentive staff, and stunning amenities. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

It was excellent!

Being a Benidorm regular for 25 years or so, the hotel Centro Mar was just what we were looking for. Situated in the heart of the Old Town, a few minutes stroll from the Levante Beach, the hotel was ideal for our needs. Essentially, we were looking for somewhere clean and comfortable to crash and that was what we got. It's a small hotel and facilities available reflect that. We were on a half-board basis (breakfast and dinner, not that we made it to many breakfasts!). The food was fine. Being a small hotel, I wasn't expecting the large selection usually available at the larger hotels but the choice and quality was fine. The friend I was with is a fussy eater and even he never went hungry or had cause to complain about the quality. Very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms reflect the hotel. Small, comfortable, clean if basic. For those who need a fix of UK TV, the tv did offer BBC1 and 2. Note that not all rooms are front facing or have a sea view. If that's important, ask for a room on the 5th or 6th floors. Note also that the hotel is on an incline so that might be an issue for those with walking difficulties. It's on part of the very narrow old town street network that leads up to the Church so take that into account when booking a transfer - a coach will not be able to drop you off outside the hotel. A minibus might, a taxi definitely does. As for the Church - well worth a trip inside - it's only 50 meters or so away at the top of the hill. It has both clock and bell towers. The clock chimes every 15 minutes from 9.00am until 2.00pm when there's a break until 5.00pm, presumably for siesta time. The last chime is at 10.00pm. I don't know if those times change according to season - we stayed late September / early October. The bells ring out to call the faithful to pray before each mass - one mass per weekday, 3 or 4 on a Saturday or Sunday. Both chimes and bells are loud so bear in mind.

Lack of balcony furniture. Although narrow, a couple of chairs and a small table would have fitted and been a useful addition. Note that I do not consider this hotel suitable for those travelling with young children. It just does not have the facilities for such families but for adults used to the resort and not looking for 4 or 5 star pampering, this is a great base.

Very clean. Excellent location. Roof top pool was a great place to relax and swim. Staff on reception very pleasant and helpful.

Could not get drinks on rooftop bar as staff were never there. Then one member of staff I asked for a can of sprite / lemonade and he said no English? The hotel are really missing a trick not fully manning the bar as the pool area was always busy. There is a number to call if you want bar service of which I did on 3 occasions but there was no answer. Also the plug on shower kept coming off and the toilet seat came off a few times.

Lovely little gem of a hotel. Tucked away (up a sight incline) in a little street within Old Town and close to the Balcony or the top end of Levante beach. The staff were all lovely, we were glad to meet Luis who was really cheerful and helpful. The rooftop bar and pool was a welcome bonus with great views over the town; but it would benefit from some shades (for the fair skinned people). Our room was a good size, with air conditioning and a small mini fridge. We had a side view - on the 6th floor but overlooking a stairwell then the edge of town. The cleaners came in everyday and kept the room spotless. We opted for half board. You can select lunch (1pm -3pm) or evening meal (8pm - 10pm). We had a lovely meal on the Saturday when there were quite a few people eating with a reasonable choice for a small hotel. You can also select a bottle of wine - red, rose or white, and a bottle of water with your meal. I enjoyed the salad bar every night however, on Sunday there was hardly anyone eating, so the main food got a little cold. The next night it was just us eating so they asked us to select from the menu and arranged what time we would arrive. We really appreciate the effort and helpfulness. Breakfast was a mixed bag for me - we only made it once (too many late nights). There was a reasonable choice, but I found the egg dish had cooled. If the heater section could be improved this would make the meals much better. Overall the half board is good value for money, the staff are lovely, the restaurant is really clean but it does have a limited menu as it has such a variable number of guests to serve. Also people order half board then just eat elsewhere but don't let the hotel know - when it's such a small restaurant this means they might be hanging around waiting for guests to arrive until almost 10pm. For location this hotel is in a perfect place if you like Old Town and want to wander between the three beach areas.

A kettle in the room would be a bonus and better heaters for the food.

We have been a few times to Centro Mar and staff are always helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a great location only a few minutes to beach and bars at night. The views from the pool area are spectacular. We will be back next year.

There are no fridges in the room. If they charged the same as for the safes they would make their money back in no time. Its not the same having to go down to the vending machine to get cool water because after a few hours without a fridge it is warm. Also the pool bar doesn't open till 12 noon and as there is no other bar you can't get a coffee till then.

The Hotel was exactly where we needed it to be and was well decorated with it kept clean often. The Staff were attentive and very polite as well as able to carry good conversation with having a good laugh.

Shower Drain Pipe has collapsed or blocked with rubble so fills up and overflows into the Bathroom very quickly. Does drain but was slow to drain. The Shower Head kept falling down the Pole and hitting us on the Head. Found it funny but needs replacing.

The property was very smart in the public areas clean, breakfast very good ..pool area and rooftop bar very good, staff so nice , friendly and helpful..Excellent location

The accommodation itself , although very clean needs updating, quite shabby, a damaged bathroom door with splinters in the wood.. a bit dodgy, showers doors needed two hands each door to open and shut it.. but that said it was very clean

location is perfect, the beach and tapas alley are within 30 seconds of the hotel. The church bells every 15 minutes remind you of the historic end of benidorm. The hotel is clean and good staff and the swimming pool has a perfect view of both end and the quayside. full recommend to anyone wanting a few days away without it costing a fortune.

the breakfast wasnt great, the tea was also not idea so the start was a challenge - the coffee machine is not great with portions. The staff more than make up for it as does the location and pool - so for he money we couldnt really be too upset.

We have stayed at the Centro Mar before, it's perfectly placed smack bang in the middle of the Old Town. It's a fabulous hotel, not too big, sits in a side street, just off Tapas Alley, which leads to the lovely piazza that overlooks both Levante and Pontiente beach. The staff at the hotel are very friendly, nothing it too much trouble,. Our stay was B&B. they serve a lovely buffet breakfast with the a great selection. There's a roof top pool too, which is great when it's 30 degrees!!

On this occasion, we had a young couple in the next room, who were quite noisy, but they too were on holiday, so live and let live
