รีวิว Hotel Flats Friends Mar Blau

We booked this for our 4 night stay in Benidorm preferring to stay in the Old Town. We booked one of the top floor sea view rooms and it was great. Lovely big room, modern bathroom with shower gel and shampoo and it did have a fridge. The room was serviced every day if you wanted. It also has a free safe to use but this was not fixed to anything. Free wifi was great. Having read previous reviews I knew that we could ask for a kettle and mugs so brought our own tea/coffee etc. This was great for sitting on the balcony in the morning with a coffee plus also sitting on the balcony at night with a glass of wine due to the addition of the fridge keeping the wine cool. The area itself is lovely right across from the beach. There is a great cafe/restaurant to the right as you exit the hotel which served great breakfasts. Easy to walk to the new town and also within easy walking distance of tapas alley and loads of bars/eating places. The hotel does not have a pool which we were aware of but you do not need with the beach on your doorstop. The shuttle buses from the airport stop right outside the hotel.

I've stayed in Hiltons and this where it tries, matches or beats them. If you can live without tea and coffee making facilities, great. BUT we have a fridge, we have complimentary toiletries. When we were checking in, 2 Spanish girls were booking a room for 1 night as it was cheaper than going home. Distance from the beach? Cross the road and you are there. Room 608 has a beautiful bathroom, 2 single beds, TV and a very well working air-con. It's on the back of the hotel, so there's no view and a very small balcony to stand on, but so what. Then remember what you paid. For us it was around £50 per night. We will be back.

The Mar Blau was a favourite for us 2005-2014. 10 years on, the buffet breakfasts have gone its sleep only nowadays. But with the free kettle, cups and fridge in room it was almost self catering! Great location with a balcony overloooking the beach. Rooms refurbished since we last came. All round thumbs up and A* from us.

What a lovely hotel! A gem. No complaints, very clean, free safe box, kettle and mugs. Staff lovely and very helpful, and cleaning staff were very helpful when xtra towels were kneed will stay here again next year. Handy restaurants nearby for breakfast and evening meals. We love the old town. As I had a leg injury the lift was new an perfect as it stopped near our room and neverhad to wait long for it. To all Staff keep up the good work you are a credit to the hotel. T.J

Perfect basic hotel. Clean linen and towels. You can chose to have your linen, towels changed daily or not.Lovely sea view room. Clean bathroom facilities with mini shampoo, shower gel etc. Great reception staff, Jose Antonio was lovely.

Great location 👌, opposite beach on poniente side of old town Benidorm .Service was good staff friendly .However the room does not have a fridge ,so nowhere to keep drinks cold etc or medication .The wardrobe space is very limited we had to leave a lot of stuff in suitcase .The view is amazing ,air con was good .Maid service daily fresh towels etc .

Lovely clean apartments, located in the old town. Perfect for our 4 night stay. There are tapas bars directly outside the the front door, which serve breakfast from 9am We would definitely stay here again. The view overlooking the sea from the front is great

An excellent value budget hotel. Perfect for people who are there to explore Benidorm and want a nice modern small hotel. The views are stunning, ask for a see view. Very clean, maid every day. No fridge as others have said. Beautiful to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by. Location is perfect. 10 mins to the lively ***** and you are in the old town area which is beautiful. Nice bathroom, comfortable bed, great views and good staff

Stayed here for a 3 night stay Booked in online before arrival Room was small but ok for us There is no coffee making facilities in the room but they are available from the reception and so are irons The safe in your room is free to use The staff that was on while there was all very pleasant and professional Location is very good we got shuttle from alicante and got dropped off at the bus stop directly outside Would use again

Very good budget hotel in the best location in Benidorm. Literally on the beach with the most amazing views. It's a 2 minute walk to the old town, 1 minute walk to the beach and if you want the craziness of the British side, you can get there within 10 mins walk. The staff are all incredibly friendly and super helpful but the cleaning staff, in particular Lola, are amazing. The place is spotless, with the option of having the room cleaned daily. They have a nice approach to environmental issues as well. This is a basic hotel with no frills, but we paid 400 euros for a week and couldn't be happier with what we got. I asked for a kettle and mugs and also a corkscrew and they were brought up straight away. I also asked for a wake up call on the last day, just in case our phone alarm didn't go off and this was provided happily. The view is absolutely stunning and we will definitely stay here again when we go back to Benidorm.

This is an excellent hotel located just inside the old town on the beach.Excellent staff is very clean modern rooms and has the option of sea view rooms.Ideal location for walking to both the old town and new.with a great beach just in front of the hotel

Hotel located in a fab spot right on Pionte beach. Had a front double room, the views was fantastic, all along the bay and the Balcony de Europa. Around 100 meters from old town, several bars/ restaurants near hotel. Room was comfortable not spacious though, no desk to sit and do my hair/ makeup only a shelf along the wall. Refurbished in 2021 but not to a high spec. Bathroom floor cheap, water floods from the shower, not good designed, wardrobe cheap refurb. Clean white towels daily if you want, bath towel small!! Linen changed weekly, not ideal maybe every 4/5 days would be better and fresher. Room cleaned daily. No tea making facilities, but you can ask reception for kettle and mugs. Air con worked well. Could hear the waves when the weather was windy. No bar/ lounge.

Shame on Management for removing the fridge from the rooms :-( We were once regular and loyal customers to the Mar Blau until our recent visit in March 2024 but now management has found fit to remove the fridge we shall not return. We visited the Mar Blau four times in the last year, shame on you. Adiós para siempre

We have just returned from this wonderful hotel it’s got a view to take your breath away , there is no pool but and it’s just room only but for the price it was super cheap too ,our room was right facing the sea and dove park , and 10 mins walk to the the bars in old town , it wasn’t very warm weather so we made the most of our lovely clean warm room , will defo be back
