Detailed Reviews
This hotel was better than expected. We had a room with seaview balcony on the front. Very nice sitting there in the evening watching the sea and all the people on the car free boulevard. The Double bed was a bit narrow, but it had a very good mattress. There was an inroom safe. The bathroom had a bath, no separate shower, but there was a bidet. Parking is safe in a closed parking area for 7 euro's a night.
The restaurant was already closed for the season, but they did have a breakfast buffet, which you could eat inside or out on the terras
The first morning we came down around 9.00 at the same time as many other guests. That was a bit of a Covid nightmare with people not keeping distance at all, absolutely not Covid proof, so we made sure to get up early the other mornings and have our breakfast at 8.00 before the other guests, which felt a lot better.The family and staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Everything said on the website is true, even more than that. Friendly owners and hardworking staff. We stayed here the last week in July. There is no elevator, but our room was on the 1st floor, so for us no big objection. The room was spotless and very nicely renovated. Air conditioning and fan provided and the beds were very comfortable. Every night it was great sleep. Despite the high season we have not been bothered by the entertainment crowd. At the back of the hotel you step right onto the beach to swim in the sea. And if you don't have an umbrella, you can borrow one from the hotel. The boulevard in front of the hotel is pedestrianized, so no cars passing by. The owners speak good English and are very helpful. Delicious fresh breakfast every day. We will definitely be back.

This is the hotel for every cheerful vacationer. The excellent and modern rooms can easily compete with any other hotel with more stars. Wifi? Yes! Free safe? Yes! Air conditioning? Yes! Ceiling fan? Yes! Right by the sea? Yes!
The managers do everything to make the stay a real holiday experience.
That means you'll feel good anyway.
The room I had with frontal sea view and a large balcony, was exactly what I wanted. It costs a little more than the other room, but is absolutely worth it.
The cleaning is daily and it shows, everything is bright, fresh and clean.
Delicious towels, new sheets, an excellent mattress, in short; pleasant luxury for a more than excellent price.
Breakfast is very varied and you will be asked if and how you want eggs prepared. More than enough choice provided by professional and very friendly staff.
When I'm back in Peñíscola, this hotel is my, and hopefully your first choice.
Book directly with the hotel itself. They guarantee you the best price.
¡Muchas gracias por esta estáncia tán agradable!

Fantastic, great service and very nice rooms. Located right on the beach. Good value for money. Good private parking. The receptionist was extremely friendly in showing restaurants nearby and checking in later in the evening.

Travelling in these uncertain times can be a worry . We had to make a necessary trip and broke the journey in Peniscola. From the moment we arrived at Hotel Bodegon our worries melted away. The family run hotel is typically Spanish and the family are most welcoming . They speak perfect English and nothing was too much trouble . All Covid protocols are adhered to . The hotel is situated right on the promenade which is pedestrianised . Access is from the back road. It is Quiet and calm . And I cannot recommend the hotel and family high enough .

It has been the perfect hotel: right in front of the beach, good room and very good service. It was leaving the hotel to the promenade and already on the beach! The only catch is that our room had no terrace, and we struggled to dry the towels, but when we return, we will book directly with the hotel, and not by Booking... And the tables in the common area were perfect to read in the shade with the sea in the background; a shame that there was only breakfast, because lunch and dinner there would have been perfect! Thank you very much to all the staff!

This Pension is warm on a human scale quiet
It is totally renovated, located along the sea with no road to cross! The breakfast is excellent and the team is attentive and warm!
This Inn is a nugget like there are few!
We'll probably be back!

Booked this Hotel via Tripadvisor as my usual Hotel was fully booked for my dates. Originally i was staying for three nights, but extended the stay to a week. Bodegon is a budget Hotel, but they really go out of their way to make you feel that you are an old friend returning. The rooms are basic, but spotlessly clean. The Restaurant offer really good homemade Spanish food with the empahasis on quality local produce. If you love Fish you wont go wrong here. The staff are really friendly and Christian and his wife make you feel welcome. I will definately make this my place of choice when next in Peniscola.

Hotel Bodegon
Av. Papa Luna, 77 y Av. Valencia, snº
12598 Peñíscola, ES
In mid-June, four of us as two couples, were on holiday and making our way down the eastern seaboard of Spain, from Barcelona. The town of Peñíscola seemed a good stop as it is a smallish town with a population under 8,000, and Hotel Bodegon sits right on the waterfront with wide beautiful beaches and a nearby historic thirteen-century castle. We had made our reservations the month before, as is recommended throughout the summer season, because it is a popular holiday destination.
We arrived mid-afternoon and were greeted by one of the owners, Jacqueline, and later we met her brother, Christian. They run the hotel and both were friendly, courteous, helpful, and each spoke English even though we spoke some Spanish. This lovely and comfortable hotel has fifteen double rooms with ensuite bathrooms. Our room was on the third level that faced the sea with a balcony that even went around the side. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and neat with a desk, TV, tile floors, and air-conditioning.
After showers, a rest, and a change of clothes, we met up with our friends downstairs for drinks. We sat outdoors under their wide veranda so we could stare out to sea and watch the people go by. Our friends had Rosado (rose) wine and we enjoyed some of the best piña coladas that we had ever had, though the couple near us raved about the mojitos. We also ordered some appetizers of delicious green olives, Manchego cheese, and barbecue chicken wings. All this and the sea air had only peaked our appetites, so we decided to move indoors for the full dinner menu. It was only 7:30, at least an hour before Spaniards eat, but we were still on American time, and the hotel was happy to serve us. We sat next to wide and high windows on two sides for an expansive view, with lower windows open. The room held at least a dozen wooden tables with tablecloths of red covered with white cloths.
Two of us had the Monk fish which came with some shell fish. A third had the steak with Roquefort sauce and our fourth member had a capresa salad with tomato, buffalo mozzarella, and walnuts. Everything was delicious and the service good. Afterward, we walked the boardwalk heading south for a short ways, enjoying the warm breeze. Then we retired for an early night to get a good night’s sleep.
When we retired to our room, the room was stuffy so we opened the French doors and enjoyed the boardwalk nightlife and warm evening breezes. This was fine for us as long as we were awake. But the distracting noise below with chatting people walking by, late night diners in the restaurant, and some music from the restaurant next door, had us close the doors when we wanted to sleep. We reminded ourselves that the air only goes on when the windows and doors are closed. At first, we were puzzled when it still would not go on, and then we realized that the batteries were used up in the air-conditioning remote, so we simply exchanged them for the ones in the TV remote, which we never watch when we are on vacation, anyway, and then the air-conditioning worked great.
Two of us are early risers, so the next morning we went downstairs for some coffee, but the door to the restaurant was locked. Please note two things: The owners live off the property and lock up the restaurant until they arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 am. And, it is tricky to exit the front door of the hotel unless you know how. If you plan to get up early and want to leave for a walk, ask them how to exit out the front door, the night before. Soon though, we were again sitting in the hotel’s outdoor patio, and ready for breakfast. The indoor buffet is ample. They offer hard-boiled eggs, fresh tomatoes, croissants and breads, fruits, cheeses, meats, yogurts, cereals, and small cakes, with a coffee machine that gives several options.
After breakfast, we wanted to go to the Papa Luna castle which we could see in the distance to the south. Not knowing how long we would take, we checked out, placed our suitcases in the car, which is safe in the hotel’s front private parking lot, and we left our computers at the front desk. The castle is only three kilometers away and would be a nice walk, but we opted to rent next door a four-person covered bike, and we pedaled along the wide sidewalk, where it is indicated for bikes to travel. However, that pathway runs out after one kilometer and one needs to take bikes on to the street for the second kilometer. Just be careful, it is a busy thoroughfare. Then there is a place near a large circular plaza where bikes can no longer go, but can be locked up. One must walk the last kilometer, and then up the hill to the castle. (See review of castle.)
Note: The four-person pedal bikes are relatively heavy so it is not as easy to pedal as one might think. They also have single and tandem bikes.
We returned three hours later, fetched our laptops and left, very happy with the Hotel Bodegon, its food, service, amenities, and lovely hosts.

This is our second time in Hotel Bodegón. Location is ideal, just right in front of the beach; 20 min walk from Peñiscola Castle and 4km from Benicarló. It's a perfect spot as it's not as crowded as Peñiscola and you can still benefit from its surroundings. The rooms are basic - although we would have preferred a double bed - but good enough for a holiday by the beach, but I must mention it's level of cleanliness! We always feel like home. The restaurant food and service for either breakfast, lunch or dinner is really enjoyable. The staff and in particular Cristian and his sister are so lovely and attentive. I requested oat milk for my coffee at breakfast and every morning I was looked after. Will definitely come back!! Thank you :-)
