    Yes, like others have said. I think you need a pleasant trip to Reception and offer a Buenos Dias Señor; Senora or possibly Señorita if you're lucky.
    Advise them that you are in a room that disturbs your sleep from the air conditioning or some such thing and you would like a room change to one with a son facing balcony With decent views and modern furniture. Also advise them that for all British people everywhere, tea and coffee facilities are the dealbreaker as to whether the hotel is worth anything at all.
    Mazzie, you could ask to see the room before you accept it and then upset Dan by choosing the room he doesn't like LOL.
    Remember to smile and have a pleasant face when you're asking. They will be on minimum wage and just trying to get through the day too.

    What a brilliantly honest, informative, relaxed review video. I’m staying here later on in the year, enjoyed watching this. Best review I’ve come across. 😊

    I see the hotel hasn't changed any since we were there about five years ago. Only good thing about it is the view. They clearly spent most of their budget in the fancy reception area. We were all inclusive and the best food we had was the one night we got kebab on chips from across the road. We now take the star system with a pinch of salt when abroad.

    you should go and complain about the faults and ask for a kettle im sure the hotel manager will try their hardest to make you happy.
    when we have complained in the past at various hotels, staff could not be more accommodating in making our stay lovely.
    remember you are paying for it so they are essentially working for you. anyway good luck and a great video as always.

    Hi Dan & Mazzy, when you get in the lifts keep your finger pressed on the button, don't take it off till you get to your floor, see if it will take you non stop to the one you want.

    I stayed at what was called the Bali 1 Hotel, when my daughter was only 18mths old and the Bali 2 which you are staying at was under construction then.
    My daughter is 35 now, so the hotel isn't as old as it looks.
    I remember being woken with the lovely sound of cement mixers starting up every morning Lol

    People can’t make things right unless it’s brought to their attention……bet they’d jump at the chance to have your hotel review ‘upgraded’. Sometimes things get overlooked and as others have said Reception will be more than happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your break x

    I think you've paid for a nice view. They must have their own star rating system. I've stayed in 3 different hotels in Benidorm over the years and gone cheap and cheerful. It was a longer walk to the beach but the same colour furniture. I've had to walk a mile to collect room keys, complain about noisy neighbours and eat breakfast in a mad crazy hall of loud dayglow holiday makers. Nothing with a grand entrance hall like yours though.

    I must admit & apologise now! But the Benidorm trip has not been as great after a week’s stay.
    It’s lovely to see Benidorm again after our last trip in Dec 1994. It was great going back in time!
    Stars on hotels are for the facilities they offer & not the price you pay to stay!
    So Pool, dining, entertainment, shops etc.get the stars. If you’re pleasing a family with different interests!
    I won’t holiday in Europe again, as they’re only after your money.
    Africa - Egypt & Tunisia are FANTASTIC!! They can’t do enough for you. They do appreciate the tips. £1 or €1 or $1 goes along way for them
    Caribbean is out of this world. Too much food, too much drink & too much Canadians. We went in January and it’s like Canada shuts down because of bad weather.
    Enjoy yourselves.
