Hotels in Peñíscola

If you are looking at accommodation in Peñíscola, the first thing you should be clear about is that the offer is wide and varied: at HotelsCasa you will find 634 accommodations, with prices ranging from 66 euros per night up to an average of 161. Most are apartments (467), followed by holiday homes (50), hotels (40), guest houses (16), villas (16) and aparthotels (7). The average category is 3.4 stars, so do not expect widespread luxury, but rather functional and well-located options.

As for the areas, the most practical thing is to divide Peñíscola into three areas. The old town and the area around the castle is the most touristy option: narrow streets, restaurants and views of the Mediterranean, but also noise and difficulty parking. If you are looking for tranquility and beach, the promenade and North beach area is ideal, with hotels and apartments on the front line. South beach, longer and with less surf, is perfect if you are traveling with children, although walking access to the center is longer. The third area is the outskirts, where residential developments with houses and villas abound; there you will gain space and quiet, but you will need a car for everything.

Prices drop notably outside July and August, and also at Easter if it does not coincide with regional holidays. May, June and September are the best months to find deals: the weather is pleasant and rates can fall 30% or 40% compared to summer. To get there, the most comfortable way is to go by car on the AP-7 (exit 43) or the N-340; from Valencia it will take you a little more than an hour and from Barcelona about two and a half hours. If you come by train, the nearest station is Benicarló-Peñíscola, about 10 minutes away by taxi or bus. Once there, getting around on foot is feasible in the center, but for the residential developments or distant beaches you will need your own vehicle or to use the urban bus, which works well in high season.

Before booking, check three things: whether the accommodation has a garage space or nearby parking (in summer it is a headache), whether the kitchen is fully equipped if you are staying in an apartment, and whether the cancellation policy allows changes without penalty. It is also advisable to check whether the price includes bed linen and towels, because in many apartments they do not. Real examples of what you can find are Apartamentos Font Nova 3000, Casa El Maset, Hostal Peñiscola or Apartamentos Argenta Caleta 3000; all with different profiles, so read the descriptions and recent reviews carefully.
