First time we stayed in the old town, very peace ful room in the shade side of hotel whichn is not abad thing in Sept. rooms clean, linen and towels changed everyday,staff very polite, but don't go to spanish hotel and expect english cuisine and certainly don't take a car parking impossible (169 euros to park in carpark opposite for 2 weeks) Can't really knock the hotel

The Camposol was good value for money and in a convenient location to both the shops and the beach. The rooms had extremely comfortable beds and pillows and we received clean towels and sheets daily. The air-conditioning throughout the hotel made sure we had a comfortable stay. The half board option was worthwhile - a different meat / fish every night with an excellent choice of salad and fresh fruit. The breakfasts however, were a disappointment. Choice of cooked breakfast, toast and cereal, but the hot stuff was well over-done and the bread rather dry and firm.

We booked for 3 nights B+B. The hotel room was small and basic, but very clean, although we did have a smell of tobacco smoke when we walked in. Aircon very good, and required as it was hot. Food was ok, nothing to write home about. Staff very pleasant and helpful. The hotel was near the top of a hill from the mariner (10 min steady walk). We only booked this as a cheap and chearful place to rest our bones, and we needed it after all the walking we did, but the hotel did have its own pool which was a nice area to sit in.

we stayed at the camposol hotel for 3 nights 4 days in august 2006. the rooms are absolutley spotless. air con was a god send after a hot day on the beach! we were b&b and breakfast was quite basic but typically spanish, but there was plenty of choice of drinks, fruit, cakes and biscuits. also bacon eggs and beans if you were there early enough. staff very pleasent, pool clean but in shade quite a lot of the day. good value for money, already booked for this year!

Been twice in three months, can't wait to go back. Helps if you speak a little Spanish but is no problem as Patricia and friends in reception speak good English.

We stayed at the Camposol Hotel for 10 nights in September.
This hotel is a great budget hotel, rooms clean and had new towels daily, air con worked well and kept the room cool.
The hotel is in the Old town and was great to be with the spanish local life, if you want to be with the Brits on holiday maybe not the ideal hotel?.
We were half board and found the food OK, not much variety, not always hot on the buffet.  But found the fish very fresh and tasty, breakfast egg and bacon, and cakes which the spanish seem to love?. It can get busy at meal times and sometimes your glad the get out.
I would diffenitly stay at the Camposol again.  Its great value for money, cental to old benidorm and would give 3 star ratings!.

The hotel was great for a budget holiday, great price, even though the rooms were basic they were very clean and the hotel had a friendly atmostphere. Also well situated in the old town in walking distance to both main beaches and the shops /restaurants/ bars etc

Really enjoyed my stay in Benidorm. The hotel was clean however the receptionist were not pleasant and very unhelpful. We did really enjoy our weekend stay.

the camposol is a large hotel on a busy street in the old town of benidorm.very nice large reception and a nice outdoor pool.we stayed at a time when the pensioners in spain have their holidays and there was a few of them.it is a lovely hotel and the food is good.the rooms are clean and a normal size with a small balcony.the rooms can be quite noisy but that would be my only criticism.i booked it because it was a budget choice,it was excellant value and i would return.it is only 15 minutes walk from the new town clubs and taxis are cheap and easy.

I have just returned from a fortnight at the Camposol with my wife and 22 month old daughter. We were very impressed with the hotel, particularly given its low price. Staff were polite and generally friendly. Check-in and check-out were very quick and simple. Cleaning was to a perfectly adequate standard and the accommodation seemed well cared for. There was a nice, relatively small pool, but the water was icy cold so was hardly used in October! The swimming pool was surrounded by tables and chairs (no loungers) and drinks from the adjacent bar could be taken to the pool.
There was entertainment 3 nights per week (live organist-perfectly reasonable 'family' entertainment).
Food was very good with an adequate choice, which changed each day: usually soup, salad, possibly pasta, beef, chicken, a nice mixed-paella, fresh-fruit, ice-cream, simple cream-based deserts. Breakfasts were fresh bread-rolls, orange juice and tea/coffee/chocolate, various biscuits and cakes and a spanish version of cornflakes and a perfectly apetising 'sugar-puffs' style cereal (no meat or cheese at breakfast and no British Cooked Breakfast).
We were amazed at the friendliness of other guests, who were mainly Spanish, with some french and British as well. The Spanish, as always, went out of there way to make our young daughter feel welcome, talking to her, giving her kisses and even giving her sweets or a large lollipop on one occasion.

There was only one lift, so waits for the lift were lengthy at peak times and the lift was also used to transport laundry.

The hotel is well positioned, a few minutes walk from the heart of the old-town and beach. It is opposite the back of a large cinema. Building work on a small 4 storey building opposite was noticeable on 3 occasions, but was fairly minor and now appears to be finished, with only internal work still to be done.

One guest we spoke to had a small single room, which she was far from happy with, as she said it looked out onto a wall, in contrast our room was comfortable, with a large balcony to 2 sides for our daughter to run around on. The only ventillation in our bathroom, however, was a vent which led directly into next door's bathroom (sometimes a bit smelly)!
Overall, very good - we'd definitely stay again and would recommend it (P.S. the 'Yellow Brick Road' area (incl. Calla Murcia) is the best place to drink, particulatly McLaughlans - very friendly and clean - 60p per pint

Situated in the roads at the rear of the superb Poniente beach, a mere 5 minute stroll to the sand this hotel is superbly situated for sun worshippers.
A typical spanish 2 star hotel, friendly staff and spotlessly clean rooms with your towels changed every day.
My room had a balcony overlooking the pool and the air conditioning really is of Antartic quality.
Rooms are basic but for the price of £20 per night (single use of a double) a good price.
Friends room did not have a balcony/view so be sure to request one when booking.
Visit Benidorm on a regular basis - will use this hotel again!

My brother and I stayed at the camposol in august. We found the hotel well priced and well located.
The hotel is in the old town, which is much nicer than levante new town. The hotel had a car park opposite which although not cheap was very handy.
The room was clean and the air conditioning was good, the staff were friendly and helpful.
The only downsides were the breakfast was horrible - stale rolls, and the lighting in the hotel was poor.

This hotel is very basic but clean.  It has everything you need for a short break in Benidorm. It was as expected for a 2 star hotel.  Great value.

When we arrived we were disappointed in the location and the presentation of the Hotel. We expected the Hotel to be in the New Town. Our Balcony did over look the Hotel's small pool, was totally unsafe for our 2 year old daughter as the door to the balcony only had a latch to close it, which she could open, so spent all week worrying she may get up during the night without us hearing her. We enjoyed our holiday but wouldn't go back to this Hotel.

Low Budget but excellent.Clean rooms and the air conditioning was fantastic and the balcony offered a relaxing haven..Food was buffet, basic but good. Staff were friendly and efficient. Pool and terrace offered a cool dip by day and gentle entertainment by night, and the Bar reasonably priced.Situated right in the Spanish quarter, this hotel is a great place to explore from.The beaches and night life were minutes away.Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a base to explore the delights of this vibrant town

this was a great little find, very basic hotel but good as a base. having stayed at some of the "better rated hotels" found the food here to be of a much better standard.
the rooms are also very basic and small but, for the money, we found this excellent value! a very spanish hotel - only heard a couple of english speaking voices whilst there! situated not far from the old town and smack bang in the centre of benidorm. as i say a great base!!!
would definitely book again.

We stayed for 3 nights (2 adults/2 teenagers). Rooms were clean and reasonable size. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful and spoke English! Plenty of food and ok selection. Had a bar.  Hotel was beside shops, bars, restaurants and close to the beach.  We were there in March so resort was quieter and hotel had mainly Spanish guests.  Street parking was a nightmare but opposite the hotel was a carpark (10 euros max.).  Pool looked nice but was too cold to try! The more 'British' part of Benidorm was within easy walking distance too. Would like to visit in the summer.  Good value and we would use it again.
