This was a very nice small hotel. There was a large, comfortable bed, and we liked the sea creature theme on the bathroom door. The front of the hotel faced a big plaza at the foot of the old town. You could see the harbor across the plaza, from our balcony.

Situated on the highest point of the city, the Castle used to be the residence of Pope Benedict XIII.

The fort has three different entrances, built during different periods from the 15th-century until 1754.

The old town is great for spending a few days in - Book one of the top two rooms at Dios Esta Bien B&B as then you have a great place in the old town from which to explore with great food & hosts, as well as being able to get away from the crowds by retreating to your own private terrace which then gives you access to the roof terrace. The hostel does not have a lift, but on the plus side, it avoids walking up and down the hill if you are not staying in the old town. The rest of Peñíscola is a big and well laid out resort - We were fortunate to be there just before Easter when it was quieter, but it does get very busy during the holiday season, so pick your time if only spending a few days here. The food and drinks at the B&B are very good and we can highly recommend the restaurant La Taverneta de Sant Roc just down the same street - their T-bone steak was amazing and they were charming hosts. Personally, the whole resort is a bit too big for us when considering a holiday, but everyone should visit and spend a few days in the old town - it’s got a real buzz and vibe about it, and best time to go would be before and after main summer holiday season unless you like crowds

I most liked visiting the castle and the old town surrounding the castle. This is well worth a visit. The town has great beaches, but there are many shops and restaurants closed during the wintertime.

Absolute waste of money.
Absolute waste of money. Run down accommodation, no parking g in town, very touristy, and full of people with selfie sticks. The castle although huge has nothing specifically interesting except the views.

definitely a place worth a visit, the old town and castle are a must (probably not good if you have mobility issues). We visited in December and the town was decorated for Christmas, really nice (and busy). we stayed for 3 nights but used Peniscola as a base to visit Morella. We think 2 days is more than enough if you don't want the beach, however if it is the beach you want then Pensicola is perfect.
There are a multitude of restaurants to choose from and seafood is a speciality.
Loved it.

Peñiscola is a stunning seaside town in the northern tip of the Valencian Community, famous for its medieval castle and its rich history. Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, a cultural adventure, or a musical feast, Peñiscola has something for everyone.
You can explore the impressive fortress of Peñiscola Castle, walking in the very steps of many generations before. You can also enjoy the views of the Mediterranean from the lighthouse and the Museum of the Sea. If you are a nature lover, you can hike or bike in the Sierra de Irta nature reserve.
Peñiscola also hosts two music festivals every summer: the International Festival of Ancient and Baroque Music and the International Jazz Festival of Peñiscola. You can listen to some of the best musicians from around the world in a unique, very pleasant setting.
Peñiscola is a gem of the Costa del Azahar, a place where history, culture, and nature blend together in harmony. Don't miss this opportunity to visit one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain. 100% recommended.

We visited the castle, and surrounding area the first afternoon. Lots of souvenir shops we avoided.
The rest of the time we were at the beach and walking,
There was supposedly a festival but didn't really see any evidence of it each time we walked around the town, except the big bike ride I saw from our balcony. We did go to the Information center but were only given the book and a useless map of castle area. No 'real' city map so we didn't know where the locations were that had events. Booths were empty each time we went to old town.
I had wished there was something to do in the evenings (not bar scene) culturally.
Mostly we were there for the beach. It was wonderful. We are from California and miss it after living in Spain 10 months. A day away from the area would have been good but we hadn't planned on it.
Good restaurants but very hard to find non seafood for hubby. (as expected).
This cute boutique hotel was perfectly situated in the Old Town of Peniscola, right on the castle walls with an amazing view of the sea. The owners were just lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Jose made sure we had everything we needed and it really felt like our complete stay was bespoke.
The decor of the hotel is beautiful with so much attention to detail and everything was so clean.
If you travel by car, park in the market square (but not on a Monday when the market is on) and the hotel is just a short walk up the hill.
Self catering - no breakfast included . However, plenty of cooking/washing /eating facilities in the house. House was lovely with very secure, gated plot in front of the property, off a barriered lane/ private road (perfect for motorbikes or expensive cars as all lockable - ours is convertible so always a concern!) 50m from beach/ promenade/ shops/restaurants and bars. Very safe, quiet and peaceful.
Local bus stop to Peniscola one way and Benicarlo/ Vineros in the opposite direction. Very cheap trip!
The location was perfect; Close walking distance to the town, down near the beach promenade & 2 minutes to the amazing 1294AD Night Templar’s castle tour for only 5€. The narrow cobbled streets that weave around, showing the quaint Spanish wrought iron balconies and so many shops and restaurants! You have to try the Gganbu restaurant (only open Fri-Sat-Sun)
Hotel Chiki has a restaurant too, with tasty traditional dishes. Great husband & wife hosts!
The room was small but had everything we needed for our one night stay in Peniscola, the hotel is right on the water, the beach was literally right across the street. It was so cute and quaint we couldn't have asked for better. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. Truly such a sweet hotel with an absolutely beautiful view and could not be closer to the beach!
This is a great value set of apartments with nice grounds and two pools, one heated and one not. It has a large outdoor terrace area and the main living area is also large with table, chairs, good kitchen and TV including BBC! Table tennis available and large supermarket just next door. Easy to get bus into main part of Benicarlo or Peniscola.
The hostess is very friendly and helpful!
The apartment was clean, with air conditioning for hot days.
There was a speaker connected to an iPod with nice music.
The location is supperb near the beach, old town and castle. Peniscola is worth a lot of visits!
Couldn't ask for more.
Modern mediterranean style hotel with compact but complete rooms . Pretty pool area nice outdoor furniture. Stylish breakfast area with good quality food. Good beds. Location very central to promenade and beach. A hotel that in general has done a good job.
I loved the location, just at the heart of Peñiscola at walking distance of the castle, the seaside, and lots of restaurants.
Also, I forgot an item in the room and the hotel staff were great at getting it sent back to me.
This hotel is saved by its jacuzzi - if you have one of the two rooms with access. Clean with fresh smelling bedding. The views from the terrace are spectacular - towards the sea and the cobbled streets below.
Very comfortable rooms, small & personal run B&B with charming hosts. Breakfast's were very good. Setting is very nice, just slightly outside Peniscola & very quiet. We can highly recommend this charming B&B.
