Just returned from 8 days in this hotel and the only good thing we can say is that our room on the front had a fabulous view. There is no soundproofing at all (all tiles and no carpets to deaden sound) and you can hear everything that goes on in the adjoining rooms nand those above and below, and in... more

This is my first review, so be patient. Is this hotel all things to everyone? NO! If you want 4/5 star, a kids club, swimming pool, nightly entertainment, etc. go elsewhere. If you want to pay under £40 per night full board for 2 people, get the best 2* food (i.e. as good as 3 or 4 star food without... more

We came to Benidorm because we were going to a convention, so we wanted to stay somewhere with less of a "party" atmosphere and more with the local Spanish. And this hotel fitted the bill ! The majority of the hotel is filled with spanish pensioners... perfect! So you know you are not going to have a problem with other... more

We decided to book a last minute trip to Benidorm to visit my brother & sister in law who had been there for 4 weeks and also to see the Festival of the Kings. We chose the Mar Blau because of its location, what a wonderful suprise, we booked a sea view room on the 5th floor and the view... more

Booked this hotel with xcapewithus.com. We wanted to stay in the Old Town and this was ideal. We found the food OK, we ate there every breakfast although I had the sachets of coffee rather than out of the machine. The orange juice was definitely not freshly squeezed but generally there was the usual hot and cold breakfast stuff you... more

A cheap and cheerful hotel in an ideal location, overlooking the beach and very close to the Old Town. Rooms at the front have a balcony and great views. Don't be put off by negative comments about food on this site - there is a good choice from a hot and cold buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and house... more

6 of us travelled to benidorm on 02.10.08 to the Mar Blau, expecting a typical 2*hotel and we certainly got it. We were allocated rooms 205, 206 and 207. As we arrived late'ish, we didn't unpack but noticed that the room was on ground level at the back of the hotel. There is a very small window with bars on... more

We stayed at this great little hotel from September 12th to 17th and loved the place. We were particularly impressed with the general cleanliness of the hotel, the quality of the food (which changed every night and included pork steaks, sausages, very tasty battered fish, and one night an excellent goulash), and the friendliness and service of the staff who... more

Just got back from staying at the mar blau. I am 19 and my friend 18 and i do not reccomend it if you if you are under the age of 50. The hotel is full of mostly Spanish and English OAPs on their holiday, there are not really any attractions or facilities for younger people, children or families. The... more
