| said: After reading the reviews on this hotel i was expecting a lovely hotel, however that is not what i got.
The staff are not friendly and are unhelpful, there seems to be no-one at the bar when you need them; you have to go find them.
The lifts are really dodgy and i did not trust them but being on the 9th floor i wasn't willing to take the stairs.
The room itself was not very clean, bed sheets were clean but looked as if the room hadn't been cleaned since last people. We only had 1 toilet roll and had to keep asking for more, there is no maid service so the room was not cleaned all week. The toilet also smelt like a public toilet, shower did not work very well then our toilet broke!
The location was good, pretty central to most shops, Tommys bar is good for entertainment and they have an happy hour all day!
Note that on arrival you have to pay 60e deposit on the room and 20e for a safe which you get 5e back. The TV is 3e per day which does have a porn channel so be aware if children are watching TV.
I would not visit this hotel again and the resort itself was not very clean.

| said: We stayed in the alpha apartments for one week on a self catering basis. On arrival, my first impression wasnt all that great. The lift was very small and scary looking but it was better than climbing up the steps to get to the 8th floor. Our room was quite impressive as it was spacious and spotlessley clean also the balcony was huge.I found the appartment an ideal base for our stay in benidorm - if all your looking for is somewhere to sleep and shower without the frills! The swimming pool is spotlessly clean and is bigger than it looks in the aspro brochure. Did not dine at the appartments and found the bar a bit shoddy (my opinion only as i like cocktails and no one could make one properly). There are a couple of vending machines opposite the lifts which can be handy in the early hours when everything else is shut. The location of the apartments is great as its about 10 mins from the beach and not far to walk to the bars and restaurants/cafes/shops etc. The only noises i would warn anyone of was the traffic and some building works, however this did not ruin our holiday in any way. The alpha staff were pleasant and helpful during our stay when we saw them, we found that 24 hour reception service was not always available and some nights the bar closed early.We only had our towels changed once and did not have our apartment cleaned at all during our stay - not a problem for us as we kept the room clean and tidy ourselves.There is air con in the rooms which is 50 cents for an hour,there is a little slot machine near the door, this was quite good as we could just use it as needed.There is a television in the room which costs 3 euros a day to view (payable at reception), people taking children to this accomodation beware as there was a naughty tv channel . There was no entertainment provided but this did not matter as there was lots of things to see and do in the resort. There are 2 pool tables in the bar area and also internet access - 1 euro for 20 minutes. I would recommend these appartments to anyone as they offer good value and are situated in an ideal location. I would definately stay at these apartments again if i should holiday in benidorm in the future.There is a 60 euro deposit that is paid on arrival to cover any breakages, this is returned upon checking out. We got our money back okay and no-one even checked our room. Safety deposit box costs 20 euros for the week, you get 5 euros back on checking out.Read on a notice in the reception that if you check out after a certain time on sundays and bank holidays you get your 60 euro deposit back through the post - not so good if your skint on your last day . Happy holidays!

| said: We found these apartments were an ideal 'base'. Very basic and simple but fine if your not planning on spending a lot of time in them. Balcony was huge. Change of bedding and towels about every 3 days. Pool was ok - only 20 beds around the pool though and it didnt open until 10am. Mixture of guests - lots of families and a few groups of young singles although they were very well behaved! Good location - about 5 minute walk to the square and beach 10 minute stroll away with lots of shops bars and restaurants all around. Would definatley go back - at the end of the day you get what you pay for!

| said: Just returned from 2 weeks of hell at the Alpha apartments. 2 adults and 2 children staying in one room with not enough room to unpack all of our clothes. Very basic accommodation, cleaner visited once in 2 weeks to change towels.
Stayed on the 2nd floor which meant we were unable to go to bed before 12.15am as big johns karaoke did'nt finish till then. Very noisy early hours of the morning with people coming in and fighting with each other.
Also people clowning around with their children in the pool at 2.30am one night.
Biggest rip off is having to pay 100 euros for air con for 2 weeks plus 60 euros deposit and 42 euros for the TV.
Would rather stay at home and stick pins in my eyes as return here for 2 weeks free.

| said: This hotel is central,which means that you only have to walk a little before you get to the main road.
The hotel staff are really nice and very helpful.
The pool is big and there is a baby pool as well.
It is a self catering hotel but there is a pub at the side of it called the Wooky Hollow 2 which is a nice restaurant,and there is a pub called the Star and Garter which has kareoke etc.Brilliant !!!
Would reccommend this to anyone and I would definitely come back!!!!!

| said: Brill stay here deffo go back if I had the chance.
Pool not as small as in brochure plus great suntrap. The pool does get busy but not that much, its just at midday when all the kids are hot an wanting to go in the pool to cool off. You can still have a good swim or just a dip to cool you down.
We stayed on the 12th floor at the side of apartment great seaview of Benidorm lit up at night is also an enjoyable view at night from are balcony.
The apartments do not serve meals but the wooky hollow 2 !!!!! is brill for snacks and breakfast.
Supermarkets, there are two right near you.
Rooms very nice, if you want air con you have to pay a little bit of money don't just expect it. The shower is brill. Beds bit hard in rooms but living room ones are so comfy.
The lift is brill but looks dodgy I had no probs with it and I was there using it for 2 weeks.
Bars and restaurants are just a short stroll down the road. What more can I say these apartments are brillliant for a fun self catering stay.

Only down side was the start of the refurbishment of the Rio Park just opposite nothing to do with the Alpha we will definately be going back to stay here.

| said: Ideal for what it is, a basic self catering base. Well placed inasmuch as it's only a slow stroll down to `the square' or a little further to the front.
Nicely maintained, only one staff on reception/bar at any one time, but this was sufficient and someone was always there 24 hrs.
Some lights in our apartment did't work and I reported it one night at 8pm, electrician was there at 10am next day!
The MyTravel rep said on the coach, on the way in, to beware of some money changing places ripping you off, she recommended using either the hotel or some place in the indoor market about 2 miles away, this is rubbish! The hotel offered 1.35 euro/£ whereas down the street passed the `Wookey Hollow 2', Gestaltur (local estate/leasing agents) were giving 1.40!

| said: My son, my parents and myself stayed in the Alpha and have just arrived back.
We were really impressed with everything from the cleanliness of the rooms to the friendliness of the staff - one man in particular who was very helpful!
The pool was much bigger than I expected, and there were quite a few things to keep my son occupied - which helped !!! It was extremely central yet well enough away from the bars to cause any disturbance at night.
I would recommend these to anyone looking for a relaxing, friendly place to stay within easy reach of amenaties.
FANTASTIC!!

| said: There was 10 girls when we went to these apartments this year and we all thought they were excellent. They were extremely clean and the rooms were spacious(even for 4 girls getting ready at the same time). The location was excellent as they are central to shops and restaurants and the square is only 5 mins away. The staff were all friendly.
I would reccomend these apartments to all young people as they are quite lively but are also very noisy at periods especially early in the morning.
We all had an excellent holiday and we would all go back to the alpha apartments given the opportunity!!

| said: The location was excellant only a few mins from the square, which meant it wasn't too noisy at night. Rooms got clean towels at least once a week. Very spacious, especially the balconies. Pool is fairly small, but there isn't too many apartments, so it doesnt get that busy. Staff do not speak much english, but for ordering drinks it's fine. No entertainment, it's not needed though!

| said: Enjoyed the apartments very much, our room was clean and tidy, the place itself excellent especially as it is so cheap compared to others. Clean towels once a week. Not sure what else to say, had a great time so only remember a few of the bad points.
The pool itself was a little small but was cleaned every day. Staff very helpful although one did not speak much english so had to do a form of sign language.
The Problems:-
English lads, this is suppose to be a family apartment but there were groups of lads on our second week and caused so much disturbance and pratting about at the pool, but to our enjoyment they were evicted.
Room, only two gas rings which you have to make sure you have a lighter to light them with. At night you can here anyone in any other apartment moving/ scraping furniture.
Overall, enjoyed it very much and would definately visit it again.
