very friendly 24 hr desk great position stones throw from beach and in centre of spanish life but noisy all day worse at night shouting drunken singing +street sweeping machines ensure poor sleep seems to attract groups of lads who are equally loud accomodation basic but ok if you are a family or couple look elsewhere

This is the third time staying at these apartments, very helpful staff on reception as always, room clean basic and really cheap, a nice balcony overlooking walkway so you can sit and people watch all day, steep steps up to reception so not suitable for disabled although I managed with my walker with help (whoever on reception always willing to help) yes its very noisy during the night not so much with drunks (although we had a couple this time) its the cleaning they do all night, dustbins first then the road sweepers, then the road washers then the tidy up behind them all. Cant say that this end is dirty, there are always street cleaners going around all day the rubbish doesn't even hit the ground! Not suitable for young children or babies as they would be disturbed by the noise at night. You get a ticket to use the sister hotel which is about 500 yards up the road it has indoor heated pool, bar, restaurant and other facilities and its lovely to sit and relax. The good thing about these apartments is they are right in the middle of old town, so if you are looking for something out of the disco/club area this is great for you, heating/air con very good but no sky TV this time, he said they not have it now so no english speaking TV :( plenty of glasses cups plates and whatnot, oven, micro kettle, lots of hot water and fair size bathrooms. I enjoy the estudios either staying myself (a woman in early 40;s) on my own I felt quite safe knowing someone always on reception, or with a friend just for a relaxing book reading people watching week. Although I have marked it no pool or rest etc these are available in sister hotel. Good shops/supermarkets, stalls, spanish shops british cafes so all are catered for. Lovely bakery downstairs which make brilliant hot waffles and ice cream, lovely pizza place too. About 500 yards from the beach on a straight road, no hills around apart from one on the left as you come out but that road not really a shopping road so no worries. To sum up estudios is not the hilton, if you want the hilton pay hilton prices, its cheap very clean, and basic, it is what it is, we going back in October again.

Just back from visit with hubby and friends. What a disaster! On arrival we were met by a really rude receptionist, who took us down the road to another hell hole, saying ours was booked up. She wouldn't listen to our complaints, although unhappy with rooms, decided reluctantly to put up with them. My friends however, had to be moved as their room smelt absolutely awful. this put a real dampener on our holiday, as the idea was for us all to spend time together, not in separate locations.

I just returned from here. The room was basic but clean enough, with a small kitchen and a nice balcony. Very noisy most of the night. But I liked sitting watching all the people enjoying themselves. Once the pepole have gone the street cleaners move in and they are very noisy. Great loaction, close to bars and restaurants and the beach. You can use the pool and other facilties of the Benidorm Plaza, close by. Thay dont tell you that when you arrive, but they confirmed it is correct. The EUR 60 deposit is a pain, but at least it meant I had some spending money for my last day before my late flight. Also used Resorthoppa for tansfers, ony £11 for return trip to airport and all went smoothly.
