Hotel Playa Victoria

This is a long stretch of golden sand at the modern end of Cadiz. There are walkways along it at various intervals with beach bars and toilet facilities. On the other side of the promenade you will find a vast array of hotels, apartments and eating and drinking establishments to suit all palates.

Great room, lovely hotel and nice beaches in the surrounding area. Two downsides: Firstly, the wifi was absolutely terrible, and at some points just didn't seem to exist. Second was that we had to wait 1.5 hours after check in to get our room, and even though they very kindly gave us a complementary drink, none of the staff apologised or said sorry at any point (maybe I'm just very English in this situation). But ignoring that, this place is magical!

Unfortunately, our stay at Hotel Playa Victoria in Cádiz did not meet our expectations. The value for money was simply not justified. The rooms are outdated and in need of renovation. One of the major issues was the shower – the water was scalding hot and impossible to regulate, even after contacting the reception. No solution was offered, which made the stay uncomfortable. The hotel advertises a beachfront location, but there is no direct access to the beach. While the pool temperature was pleasant, there were far too few sun loungers available, making it difficult to relax. The only positives were the location and the friendly check-in experience with Nacho at the reception. Beyond that, the hotel falls short in many areas and we would not choose to stay here again.
