Flash Hotel Benidorm is one of many tourist
hotels in Benidorm catering to package tourists drawn to its beaches and
vibrant nightlife. This four-pearl adult-only hotel with 192 rooms occupies a
multi-story building similar to the many other high-rise hotels making up the
city’s skyline. True to its name, the property has trendy modern interiors with splashy neon accents. Guests tend to be European tourists staying here on one-
or two-week package deals, and the hotel can get crowded during the peak season,
causing long waits for elevators and meals. Travelers seeking a
kid-friendly option might want to consider Magic Aqua Rock Gardens.
Scene
Trendy adult-only hotel catering to package tourists
Located on a street lined
with other high-rise hotels, the Flash Hotel Benidorm's exterior does not
stand out from its neighbors. Interiors, however, are fresh and contemporary. The high-contrast lobby with dark floors, white walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows is punctuated with strip lighting and bold royal purple accents. Gray geometric shapes mark the ceilings, and below sets of boxy sofas and tables provide seating. The
dining room has a dress code at dinnertime, requiring men to wear long pants,
which a friendly greeter gently enforces. Dinner entertainment is
provided by a resident singer, whom guests seem to love or hate. With an adult-only policy, the
vast majority of guests are vacationing couples.
Location
A 10-minute walk to Levante Beach and close to shops and restaurants
Flash Hotel Benidorm is
located on a busy tourist stretch of high-rise hotels. Just outside the hotel are many small shops and businesses catering to tourists, as well as
cafes and restaurants. This is a good location for those who love to be in the
center of the action, and close to the many bars and clubs Benidorm
is known for. It’s a five-minute drive to Avinguda de la Comunitat Valencia,
where all the most popular nightspots are located. Levante Beach is a
10-minute walk from the hotel, while the city’s other popular beach, Poniente, is a
12-minute drive away. Alicante Airport is a 44-minute drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Stark rooms with pops of color and modern bathrooms
The 192 guest rooms Flash Hotel Benidorm include doubles, triples, and quadruples; many have balconies with views of the Benidorm skyline of high-rises, and partial views of
the sea beyond. Rooms are bare, with a few pops of hot-pink color on the bed runners and pillows. Their wood laminate furniture is simple and streamlined in style, and floors are gray tile. Bathrooms are modern, with wide sinks, large
mirrors, and shower/tub combos. All rooms include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs with international channels, and mini-fridges. But use of the safes and in-room Wi-Fi come with a fee. Street-facing rooms tend to
get a lot of ambient street noise that can last till the early hours. Rooms in the back that overlook the pool are much quieter.
Features
Buffet restaurant, two bars, and two swimming pools
The on-site buffet restaurant gets mixed reviews
from guests, and is crowded during the peak summer season, often causing long
lines during mealtimes and popular dishes to run out quickly. At dinnertime,
men are required to wear long pants instead of shorts. There’s a spacious bar
adjacent to the hotel lobby with a large TV, and a section opening to a street
patio, and a second bar in the pool area. The two outdoor pools are
fairly large but seem cramped for such a large and busy hotel. The fitness center has only five workout machines, but has a sauna and massage services. Wi-Fi is free in public spaces, but in-room Wi-Fi incurs a fee.
