I did not stay in this hotel, but since the other comment was mistaken, I think some real info…read morecould help.
This hotel is only 5 min walk away from the biggest beach in Benidorm, but is it up a steep hill.
I don't know how it could not be in a typically tourist area: Benidorm as a whole is a tourist area. Note that it is 2km away from city centre, but a bus will take you there in 10 min.
Don't know about the rooms but I know it is not like a 4 or 5 star hotel. It is good old charter hotel.
