Hotel Riudor

Our room was on the seventh floor which was fine & gave an excellent view. The local bars were very noisy through the day which meant sitting on the balcony enjoying a drink later on impossible unless you like listening to drunks singing out of tune! The lift was so slow & we stood for ages every time we needed to use it. Our room & bathroom were nice & modern. We were half board the food was a bit of a hit or miss, lovely salad etc but nothing great to have as the main meal, a very bland 😳

We have just come home after spending two weeks at the Riudor, this was our second stay, we were put in a room at the front off the hotel but it was too noisey,we asked to change rooms to the back off hotel and this was done on the Tuesday morning, the staff are very obliging, we settled into our room on the 7th floor and couldn’t believe how quiete it was, the only down side of changing was we moved from having a walk-in shower to one over the bath. I think the bars that overlook the front of the hotel are not doing it any favours it’s a shame because the hotel is in a lovely central location, not sure if I would stay there if they couldn’t guarantee me a room at the back.

Very nice Hotel and very clean rooms and the beds are very comfortable. No walk-in Pool, people less mobile will struggle to get in and out of it but there is a paddling pool you could sit on the edge. Most of the staff are miserable and the receptionists just look at you blank, no good morning or bonas dias, they never even looked up at you, it’s as if they are just there for the money, not really enjoying their job - it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The female receptionist I saw once was lovely though. Rooms general noise until 9pm then it blares, you can’t hear your tv for very loud music - was only in room 2 days at night as was poorly, but it was so loud it was really annoying. Not quite unexpected considering my room was opposite Talk of the Coast but the noise level was bad even with doors locked.The food was nice but the lack of choice in vegetables or potatoes was poor but there was chips every day which seems to be the norm in Spain. The meals were a mis-mash of putting things together that in the end I went to Yorkshire Pride to get a decent dinner, and it’s the first time I’ve ever HAD to do that in Benidorm out of necessity, I wanted/needed some decent vegetables. I’ve been coming to Benidorm a long time. I wouldn’t stay here again unfortunately, but the rooms are very nice, plus we got there late 10-30 to 11pm and other hotels I’ve stayed at have saved us a packed lunch and a drink. It’s the lack of the personal touch I found very disappointing.
