Old Town Benidorm Guide / Hotels in Benidorm Old Town

BENIDORM OLD TOWN - Your guide to the original Benidorm for some real Spain and good Hotels!

The old town, Benidorm centro is between the Levante and Poniente
beaches and still retains many of the original buildings in tiny narrow
streets. The headland it is built on is well worth investigating for the
fantastic views you see over the entire city, the best place to enjoy
the Benidorm weather too. You will also find great little Tapas bars
and restaurants here offering a real taste of Spain. During fiestas
and in the summer months there is an artisans market offering all
kinds of ceramics, paintings and locally produced gifts at very good
prices. The blue tiled domed church is a must visit attraction being
the center piece of Benidorm old town. Well worth a visit to see the
famous carving of the " blessed virgin ".

Are you one of the many people who are tired of hotels and
want something a little different? May we suggest you take a look
at the brand new Fetiche Hotel. You will find luxury rooms that are
fully sound proofed. Each room offers a 32" TV, free safe, mini-
bar (free soft drinks) and rate sinclude breakfast. Rates from 50€
per room per night. Book early as there only 17 rooms and since
opening in August 2010 they have been very busy, great reviews.

The old town is also where you will find the gay village
a feature of Benidorm for over 30 years with 25 bars and cabaret
venues for those looking for an alternative night out where you
can see some of the most outrageous drag shows in venues like
the Queens and Kafee Klee. We recommend that you start your
night in the old town at Olivers Terrace Bar for a tipple or two!

Enjoy a café solo con hielo ( Iced espresso coffee ) like the locals do in one of the terrace cafés especially on a warm
Summer evening. For a good value hotel in Benidorm look at the Mar Blau opposite the park or the Centro Playa in
Carrer Major, and for a 4 star hotel the excellent Corona Del Mar overlooking the beach with views along the Poniente.
If you wish to stay in this part of the town you may find the Queens ideal if you enjoy a good knees up!. An English
owned hotel catering for British visitors at very good value weekly rates. For a small quality B&B we recommend the
Hostal Irati located in a quiet street just 30m from the beach. Prefer a quality apartment in the old town? we can highly
recommend the new luxury Senabre Palais Beach Suites directly on the Levante Playa.

For eating out at lunch time try Rumours or Grannies
Teahouse and do also pop along to Caspers for a late then
head for Refuel "The café on the Park" located above park
Elche perfect for coffee and cake after the beach. Enjoy the
sunny terrace & people watching.

The best restaurants in Benidorm are in the old town
we recommend Paneils and The Two Palms in Calle De La
Palma and at the top of the street you will find Calle La Biga
and big Michael´s Restaurant both offer great set menus
from only 14€ making a very affordable night out.
