Hotel Benidorm East by Pierre & Vacances in Benidorm

Me and my partner stayed at this hotel for 5 days and had a fairly pleasant time. The rooms were cleaned daily to a decent extent (bins emptied, beds made etc) but there were many marks on walls, shower and lamps hanging very loose around our room. The balcony was nice, decent size and had a fantastic view of the surrounding area and above the pool (third floor). The guests either side of us unfortunately were extremely unpleasant, on our last night here a huge group of guests piled into the neighbouring apartment, heavily smoking and blasting music to the point it felt like I had headphones on! No sleep for me before my transfer!… another night we had 20 solid minutes of people hanging outside our door, trying to get into our room via the handle. Rather scary!

On a positive note, the breakfast service we paid for was pleasant and offered a decent selection every morning we ate there. The pool itself was clean and spacious, despite there seeming to be a lot of rubbish poolside and in the surrounding areas which wasn’t overly pretty.

The location of the hotel is on an extremely steep hill, so beware if you’re travelling with young children or elderly folk. It wasn’t too bad for us as we’re in our 20’s but we opted for a taxi back up the hill most nights. The hotel is fairly close to the main strip with a 10 min walk inbetween, full of bars, bistros and restaurants.

Overall for our first holiday it was fairly pleasant, we didn’t spend too much time in the hotel as a whole but the time we spent here was okay, definitely has its faults :(

The location of the hotel is quite bad, many hills and quite far from the center. Regular cleaning, the floor was a little dirty and the beds had hair… The pool was also quite dirty. As for the staff, quite friendly.
