El Flamenco

I booked this property but I was assigned by the front desk to the sister property across the street. Hotel Playa because supposedly it was quieter. El Flamenco seems to attract young, loud, party oriented travelers. This is a family owned group of properties including a restaurant. They seem to save Hotel Playa rooms (about7-8 rooms) for guests’ overflow This review is for Hotel Playa.Both properties are old and very run down. The one thing Hotel Playa has going for it is the location facing the beach. If you like to sleep with the sound of waves this is for you and it’s a few steps to the water. Now, the property includes access to a pool/lounge that starts playing very loud club music as early as 11 am till well after midnight. This is a pool/bar open to anyone and not just hotel guests , 20 year olds drinking , dancing and flirting poolside which is fine but not ok if you want to relax or take your kids to the pool. Not child friendly. As for the room, tiny old TV oddly placed, rusty doors, walls with holes and stains, some towels are old and raggedy. Dark room, front desk not responsive to request to fix a broken light. Musty/humid small throughout but I guess to be expected in an old building across from the sea. The one good thing : AC worked. I asked about a refrigerator as the property’s picture showed one. I was told there were no fridges, the pics were from the previous hotel management which is deceiving. Poor price/quality. Awful.

Room clean. Big bathroom. Splendid service. Would definitely stay again

Was very noisy place, could find the place no proper signage, facilities not great Value for the price

First it was nearly impossible to find, no signs, entrance via a restaurant,,room with a dirty terass,,was right over the restaurant,,we decided we could not stay there,,did not find anyone in so called reception so we left the keys and booked another hotel.

Nice clean room, comfy bed, AC worked. Great ciews from balcony. Staff friendly and vigilant

Nice traditional Spanish hotel right on the beach and in an excellent position for the beach,bars and shops within easy walking distance. It is very basic but very clean with friendly staff. It has a small restaurant that serves good food.

We use this (very Spanish) hotel A lot when in Mojácar for a few days of drinking, eating and chilling. Perfectly comfortable , air con works , bread and coffee as part of your breakfast. That’s all you need right. If you are looking for an amazing luxury experience then you shouldn’t be coming to this part of Spain anyway. In fact stay away please.

Cheapest in the area and more than adequate hotel.

Hotel was very noisy from around 2am so got very little sleep. Bedroom consisted of 4 camp beds and wasn’t the double room we had requested. We had to keep the curtains closed as the neighbouring hotel’s balcony was about 2 meters from our window giving no privacy, and we could hear their conversations till 4am. The pool is a public pool across the road, nice enough but could do with replacing the sun beds which were all broken...I’d recommend going along the sea line and getting complimentary ones from one of the bars instead. Air-con was switched off at the mains, no idea why. No hairdryer and complimentary toiletries were rubbish. WiFi only worked in the reception area. But, the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great location. Very basic but clean. No mirror in room , no hairdryer. But overall very good

Very late book in. Cistern continually running. No plug for wash basin. Toilet not fixed to floor. No tea and coffee facilities as advertised. No WiFi in room, only reception. No table on terrace. Good sea view.

Very good

Impossible to rate this hotel as it was closed on our arrival, we stayed in its sister hotel over the road.

Close to all amenities and just across the road from the beach

The hotel is located in a perfect position within walking distance to some great beach bars and restaurants. The hotel itself is basic with quite tired furniture that has seen better days, however it is very clean, the sheets were freshly laundered and clean and the bed was very comfortable. There was no fridge in our room or tea making facilities, you might have been able to hire the tea making facilities at reception but we didn’t ask. The shower holder was broken and the water was only just warm enough to shower. The swimming pool area definitely needed a clean up and a coat of paint. For a one night stay it’s fine, but not sure I would want to stay longer than that.

Nice hotel but air conditioner didn’t work during the night

Perfect if enjoying the bars and beach for a short period. We always try and stay here - we shower, sleep, eat breakfast here. It’s all wr need. Air con works well! I prefer to the 4 star a up the road- simple but oh so effective

The hotel was not ready for guests dirty. toilet was broken and no hot water.Bed was uncomfortable and no pool disgripsion of this place was not right

the pool did not look like it had been used in years the room was clean but sparse breakfast was lovely we sat outside by the ocean

The hotel we were booked in was closed down. It is 13:40 when we arrived at the hotel. There was no signs nor anyone to ask why the hotel was closed down. I wondered into a next door souvenir shop and the owner didn't have a clue. He said they had another hotel they owned called The Playa Hotel. I approached it and it turned out they owned the Flamenco Hotel we were booked in. There was no record of a booking on our names nor of payment made for the 7 nights. Didn't know either if breakfast was included. It was more of a B&B place than a hotel. We paid gbp 350 for 7 nights for 2 persons. The room rate advertised per night in the hotel reception was 40 Euro per night. We have been grossly overcharged by Expedia.
