Hotel Brisa

We booked this small hotel for an overnight stay to see family on holiday in Benidorm. Great location on the beach, huge room with two balcony’s. Good view over the beach with an adequate balcony at the front and a small balcony at the side. Excellent receptionist and staff. We had lunch here and could not fault it, the breakfast in the morning was good too. Parking was at the ****** carpark around the corner and was easy to find. A family run hotel since 1959, we even met the owner that has run the hotel since then and lives on the top floor. We have already booked to go back, recommended

Upon arrival, I was greeted by the front desk manager. A charming lady, who apologised for my room not being ready, even though I was two hours early. No problem. I decided to have a bocadillo and a beer on the terrace overlooking the sea. The waiter was very helpful and pleasant even though he’s was very busy. My room was spotless clean, with everything in good working order. Albeit there were signs of wear and tear, you would expect with such a popular hotel. The maid service was fantastic also, with my room immaculate every time I’d returned after being out visiting friends for the day. Breakfast, people have commented on here regarding the lack of British items 🙄🙄🙄 you’re in Spain eat like a local. I will say this, the food selection was vast and varied from European and British items. There was something for everyone to enjoy. It was all fresh and very well kept. The hotel is a fantastic location on the beachfront. Every member of staff I came into contact with was typical of the warm Spanish hospitality you can expect. Frankly there’s nothing not quite to like.

This hotel is front line on Levante Beach, down by McDonalds and Burger King. Not a tower block like alot of the hotels in Benidorm. It was clean and modern. Checked in by a friendly and polite lady Room was smaller than what we've had in the past. The balcony was tiny with only enough room for 1 chair. Kettle and fridge in the room. A couple of tea bags and 2 sachets of sugar, no milk or coffee. Bathroom was clean and modern with a decent sized shower cubicle. Beds were super comfy, pillows not so. Air conditioning in the room so comfortable night. Got the side sea view I'd booked (room 201). Paid €153 euros including breakfast (choice of hot, pastries, fruit etc and help yourself to coffee etc from a machine. Only stayed for the 1 night as friends visiting from UK. Checked out by a friendly man on leaving.

My wife & I decided to stay here purely based on the location,which is first class.This hotel tends to be more expensive than some of the other hotels in Benidorm. Don't think that we would stay here again,unless we got a good deal on price........we have stayed at far better hotels in Benidorm that are not as expensive & have had far better food........back in January.....but not in the Brisa !

When I booked the berisa I paid an extra £150 for a sea view however when i booked in I got a bog standard room with a tiny side balcony not big enough to have 2 seats on, I'm talking less than 1metee squared, obviously I demanded a different room as I did pay the extra and was given a room on the other side, not fully facing the sea but at least we could actually get on it. However the air-conditioning in our room did not work, it pumped out hot air all week, opening our room door was like opening a oven door, I feel we were given this room as punishment for the room swap but at the end if the day I was charged for the upgrade that I never actually got and roasted all week in a fire pit. This hotel is modern and clean and tidy but no way is it a 4 star, the spannish star rating board really have shown their curupt side with this one.

Pros and cons Pros: the hotel was very clean, lady at reception on checkin was polite. easy to check in and out. Location great Cons: pool was tiny, no sun beds only a recliner deck chair, all other staff were very rude, food was basic for full board with a lot of fish, rooms are small, Entertainment was terrible, bar area tiny , limited selection of drinks, Overall we did not enjoy the hotel we paid extra for a nice hotel but were disappointed especially with how rude the staff were.
