This is not a luxury property, but one with a lot of character, a strong sense of place and history. I transferred to this hotel after really disliking Maison Marineta (which is rated higher here on Booking but definitely should not be). I wasn’t sure at the time of booking Art Boutique Hotel Chamarel, mostly because the photos here on Booking are not great, but I was pleasantly surprised. This property is an old house in the center of Denia’s old town with curious unique touches and pieces of art throughout both old and new. I was upgraded to a very spacious room with a cute private balcony (with table and chairs) and a bathroom with natural light facing an inner courtyard. The mattress was fine; I slept well also because there were wonderful old school “persianas” which blocked the light nicely. Many guests seemed to enjoy the common spaces ordering drinks and sweets prepared at the bar by the one employee who was also responsible for check in and every other aspect of the hotel. The team here is very small. I also loved the sound of the nearby church bells.

Some of the staff really did seem overworked and tired, as if they might prefer not to be there. It very well might be that they’re not compensated well and need help. But I feel this property should have a higher rating overall, so I’m not letting this affect the score. But the hotel has the potential to become something more.

Fantastic characterful building on quiet super clean pedestrian street. Lovely friendly and helpful staff - great room. Breakfast in the courtyard could not be better. Secure and easy to access parking and very dog friendly. Location superb. WE WILL BE BACK.

Nothing- apart from Booking.com selling me a room with breakfast - but hotel owner knew. Nothing about the breakfast- which caused some embarrassment on both sides as we were checking out. Owner was most honourable and accepted confirmation of my Booking .com reservation confirmation which clearly showed breakfast included. This was not the hotel's fault.

Perfect old-fashioned style hotel in the middle of the old town. Awesome vibe, furniture, aromas - a kind of time-machine feeling. Shops, restaurants around. Parking for 17 eur/night - very convenient.

Very thin walls and old doors with no sound isolation. Was listening half of the night patient lovers from the room next to me - and feeling was, that I was 3d one in their room! No elevator, stairs only (not a minus, just FYI). Parking system: entrance to the street of the hotel is closed by pillars. To enter the street you need to call to the hotel, they will open it remotely. The whole process could be described more thoroughly in the message I received - with pictures, where to drive, where to stay, where to go to pick-up the keys etc. NB! Impossible to find a parking space close to the hotel - better book the parking in advance!

Checked in at the hotel and lady from hotel walked us to the apartment which was about 350metres away (2 min walk) both hotel and apartment in the old town. You could use the hotel facilities also, if you wanted breakfast, you just let them know and they had a lovely bar, snug etc. Lovely apartment, well equipped kitchen. Nice stylish bathroom, dog friendly, had bowls left for dog. lovely courtyard at rear which housed the washing machine/tumble dryer. Excellent location, right in the middle of the old town and just up the street was the old town square and castle. The underground car park we used as the hotel car park was booked was about 10min flat walk through town. Handy smart tv which had prime and Netflix to sign in to. Supermarkets within 2 minutes walk and bars/restaurants.

Didn't realise that the bathroom was on the ground floor, as upstairs it is just a mezzanine bedroom, so at night if you needed the bathroom it was a bit hairy going down the stairs, but that is just personal preference to have bathroom upstairs.

The hotel's location was excellent, and the staff were generally very attentive. Just a reminder to be mindful of noise if arriving late. Overall, the room had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Something to be aware of: Room 206 experiences significant external noise from the nearby kitchen extractor fan. This could be disruptive, so if you're a light sleeper, it might be worth requesting a different room. Additionally, the kettle in the room had visible limescale, suggesting it hasn't been used often. We proceeded with caution when using it.

This is an amazing little gem in the heart of the old town, everthing is in easy walking distance and the hotel itself looks like a converted palace with great character and art work. The hotel provides paid parking which I would recommend booking as parking in the old town is hard to find. The instructions for accessing the hotel/parking provided are really good but be careful not to wander off the main roads as there are many narrow streets. There are lots of great restaurants nearby.

nothing springs to mind.

Stunning building, beautifully, sympathetically and tastefully decorated with eclectic furniture and antiques throughout.

Would be lovely to utilise the foyer/bar space and maybe have some musicians or music at night. The bar area is so incredibly beautiful and could be incredibly atmospheric but dead. Nobody at all having a drink during the time we were there so really wasted in my opinion. Most people just slept there which as beautiful as the rooms are is a shame. Tea and coffee facilities are poor. Advertised as coffee maker in room but just a kettle with packets of Nescafé. No milk or milk substitute. Nice to have a coffee upon wakening.

Central location, just walking distance from the beach and main attractions, really cute building with great relaxing atmosphere, the internal patio is so relaxing and the entire building is beautifully decorated.

Just the room we had was a tiny small, but enough for a short stay, also I believe they had bigger rooms we simply forgot to check the room size before booking. Aside from this all was great and we will be surely be back.

Often boutique hotels are expensive and not very inspiring. this hotel is an exception. All areas are a revelation of style and make the stay a real joy. Admittedly the hotel was quite in January, but we felt a real sense of peace in the hotel. The staff were always interested in what we were doing and helpful.

I think the breakfast could offer a little more sustenance. The Chimney in my apartment leaked smoked into the room when lit and I wasn't able to wash my clothes one evening, as this was being used by the neighbour, which I thought was a bit naughty.

Lovely to have an individually designed room. We had the Japanese mini suite - a large room with sofa and TV. Also a sunken bath (which was quite difficult to get out of!) The patio area is gorgeous as as is the lounge area. It's a beautiful building and had a great vibe.

There was only one key for the room and as my husband went out cycling and we had to leave the key at reception it was sometimes difficult to retrieve the key when there was a queue of people. It held us up a couple of times. Would have liked cotton bed linen rather than polycotton! Would have liked a duvet rather than old fashioned heavy blankets - had no idea hotels still used those!
