Hotel Sol y Sombra

Everything about the Sol y Sombra was very good.||The room was clean, large-ish and with a large bathroom. Lots of hot water.||There wasn´t a view from the window but that was reflected in the price.||I was very impressed with the food. I was full board and I was pleasantly surprised to find that all drinks, including wine, beer and soft drinks were included.||I´m hoping to return with my wife in the Spring.||The location was good for getting to the beach - a 5-min walk - and for the Old Town. Levante end of town was a 20-25-min walk.

The beds were very uncomfortable, awful pillows and very thin bed cover. The place needs updating drastically. The bathroom had a lot of mold stains on the grout which can easily be removed with bleach so overall cleanliness not great. Breakfast good although no plant based milk options.

Should be a 5 star but the shower curtains aren't great and ours was on the floor when we checked in. We tried to fix but to avail. Regardless. Food is really nice and plenty of options. The staff are beautiful and very helpful. Nice pool on the roof with a good view. Thank you and a very nice time, and I would recommend to all 👌🏻👏🏻

I recently stayed at the Sol y Sombra alongside 7 of my friends. We are all 23/24 year old English “lads” and were originally apprehensive given some of the reviews from other English folk. However, I can safely say our stay was very pleasant. The rooms are admittedly a bit dated however they do the job and are clean. Most of the guests are elderly Spanish people but they were friendly and along as we weren’t loud and obnoxious, we had no issues. The staff were excellent, spoke plenty of English and were extremely helpful throughout our trip. The rooftop pool is small however it has a great view and is not too busy throughout the day. The hotel is a half hour walk to the main strip and just around the corner from the coast. All in all, some of the reviews paint out this hotel as a “do not stay” if you’re English when in reality, it was pleasant and great value for money. Thank you to the staff on the front desk who really stood out and made their best efforts to help us with any questions (despite our lack of Spanish!)

Starting with the staff, most of them are not very attentive and polite. The cleanliness of the rooms leaves a little to be desired. The elevators are always broken. The food is varied and in large quantities, the quality is reasonable. They treat customers in different ways, if you are Portuguese you will simply be seen differently for the worse. You can see that the treatment given to the Spanish is very different from that given to the Portuguese, which is incomprehensible because people are all the same regardless of nationality or color and in addition Benidorm has many Portuguese tourists. 10/15 minute walk to the beach. Noisy hotel.

You cant have silence in the room. Music start at the hotel's restaurant at 10 pm and stop after midnight. All customers are old spanish, very loud. Speaks loud, make a lot of noise in their rooms. If the party stop early(12 am) you cant sleep cuz outside you can hear everything, windows and walls very tiny. I dont recomend to stay here!

Rooms are spacious, very clean. 10 min walk from beach. Hotel is Attractive to the older people

We had a 3 night half board stay. This is a great little hotel, mainly Spanish guests and rooms a little dated however the reception staff very friendly and helpful, rooms cleaned daily and food to a good standard. Like said earlier, rooms a little dated however very clean, are cleaned daily. Location excellent for old town and ponte beach. Lavante beach about 20min walk so great location.
