I live only 1 hours drive from Benidorm and probably stay over 6 times a year . Stayed at the Riudor last week for the 1st time and thought it was fantastic . Great position , clean and the food was fantastic . Its now going to be my new go to hotel for Benidorm . I also recommend going to see the comedian Gary George in the bar next door , funny as long as youre not easily offended .
Was there 1st couple of weeks in January and it was cold at nights with only a thin quilt no spare blankets.took our own coffee and sugar.lots got colds and flu myself and friend did but glad we got home as people were just ending up in hospital with it
Loving your videos Paul in benidorm another nice hotel the bar area looked lively food really nice and your room price not bad for a 4 star hotel can't wait to see your next hotel
Stayed at this hotel blimey 43 yrs ago .enjoyed it and a fantastic time ,food was also really lovely then .inside the hotel looks really different now I only recognise the pool area lol .got to say thou we had a fab time
Hi I always stay at the ruidor hotel but I haven't been back since its been done out going to be there in August can't wait nice video very helpful thanks
Hi Paul,great video nice looking hotel the noise from bars may be bit off putting for me but nice room clean&tidy. Food looked excellent agree 10 out 10. Price think very fair for room,location &food/drink glad you enjoyed it👍
Hi Paul We have just watched your video from our hotel room …. The Hotel Ruidor !!! Yes .. we are here RIGHT NOW and on the second floor as well but with a sea view Room looks smaller on the video than it actually is. We have a shower over the bath not walk in but it’s hot and powerful. But lacking more lights generally in the room. Didn’t know we had usb till watched this !! Food is good and certainly aimed at the Brits. We have been here over 2 weeks and no menu repetition yet ! Only thing missing is back bacon! Pool area was totally ripped out and redone ( check other Benidorm vlogs) but too cold at this time of year. Main U.K. tv channels on tv in bedroom ITV, ch4, bbc 1&2 , E4 etc. At this time of year it’s not so noisy at night - weekends are noisier but it’s not stopped us getting a good sleep. Tea and coffee replenished every day Thanks for your ongoing excellent reviews Regards Howard
Looks nice.The possibility of noise would put me off but those staying there were not disturbed by it according to the comments. The food certainly looked appetising.
Stopped there last year, was a nice place with nice food (just after renovation). Didn't really hear the nightlife as we were in one of the higher up rooms. Would prefer a double bed as I always fall down the gap in the middle with the twin beds.
Can you please check to see if there is extra towels and a ironing board plus airon thank you. Fantastic video 👏 keep up the great videos.... Can't wait for the next video.
Hi - we are here right now and no ironing board in room and for two of us we get 2 x bath towels , 1 x hand towel and a bath mat but we asked the housekeeping when she was in room and she gave us extra towels no problem - hope this helps
We stayed in the riudor last year loved the hotel that much we going again end of april this year food was excellent and the staff were brilliant highly recommended hotel definitely 10/10😊
Thanks for your video, i preferred your hotel y.day the £59 one this one would be to noisy right ontop of a nightclub, the facilities are ok what you would expect from a 4☆ And the food looked good.😊
We stayed In that room last June, the noise from the club opposite was horrendous, loud music blasting out from 10 am 'til 4 the following morning, and we were out ourselves 'til around 1am most nights, If you fancied a nap In the afternoon, forget It. Although It seem a lot quieter now. Also the pool since the renovation Is now only 2 foot deep all over.
Hi have stayed in Ruidor many times i could not fault the place can be very noisey though in the summer with the music and karaoke coming from the black chicken 😮😮
Great video again shame about being so close to the bars I bet they could keep you up at night! Have au done a review on the flamingo oasis? I stayed there about amonth after it opened loved the place it was fantastic been back a few times haven’t been in a while though I’ll be back out the end of September can’t wait
I stayed at this hotel a few years ago with my late husband, I did not find any fault with this hotel at all, We had a drink out side the hotel when you came out of the hotel and turned right I think there was a bar there we had a drink there, I don't no if it is still there or not, we stayed in quite a lot of hotels over the years, Been to Benidorm about 10 or 11times and stayed at the old town aswell,
Hello, we have been enjoying your videos of Benidorm. We are travelling from Australia next July and are t staying at the H10 Porto Poniente hotel. Have you done a review on this hotel and would love to see it if you have. Many thanks Tony
Someone said the Riudor smelled. It did when you went in from the old entrance. It always had a damp musty smell. Don't know what it is like now. And yes, there is a brothel beside the old entrance. It has always been a bad area.
Stayed in this hotel twice last year.Looks lovely after the refurb but we found the food to be hit and miss.Some days were better than others but I always found something to eat.Staying in the Rio Park next time mainly due to it been a better price.
@@whoknowswhere Thanks Paul.I know where its situated.I wouldn't even contemplate using the Yellow Brick Road of a night time.I will be sticking to the main roads.And next time you are in benidorm go and watch the Beatles show at The talk of the Town.They are fab.
Hi there, I think they started out to me. It doesn't look fully four star. I would say there's areas of it that look for star but there's also areas of it that look three star. The shower was very dark which could be dangerous for some people. I personally would go for hotel in a noisy area because I like it to be quiet when I sleep. But that's my opinion. I think it's fairly good value but again I would class it as three star with some. Extras
The Henry said that I say to give some mixed opinion of 3/4 hotel and I think that's down to the park refurbishment. I think once they refurbish the rest of the bathrooms and that it will live up to force that hotel. But I think sometimes when you do a partially fabishment he sort of on that board lie between three and four star
Paul I thought your room was nice and clean, quite spacious and had all things you would require if so desired. Downstairs i thought fantastic. The lounge area was super with nice furniture with plenty of room space. The food arrangement and presentation was magnificent. Again very professionally done by well trained chefs. If the hotel rating at the moment is 4 then that is obviously very good, and i'm sure management will want to maintain that rating or go further up to a five rating, if there is 5. All in all Paul nice Hotel.
I thought it had had a complete refurbishment, to be honest. The room looks lovely and fresh, and the bathroom looks okay. Maybe the shower floor would have been brighter if it had been white, not black. It's great for people-watching when coming out of the bars, but I don't think I'd stay here simply because of the noise from the bars. Thanks for showing us around the Riudor.
I’ve stayed there it’s a nice hotel clean good food located right on the strip. I’m not keen on being right there but it did not affect how I feel about the hotel anyone looking for a lively location you won’t be disappointed here
I've only stayed in hotel's in UK and they've all been the good end of 3 star, the Hotel Riudor is much more upmarket and high quality so it deserves a 4, however I agree with funky 1982 about the shower. ⭐
Hi not sure never used it check the website they normally say if it cost I never use one I'm only in the room one night and if there is a charge it's normally weekly
Hello, I can confirm there is a brothel beside the Riudor, and a couple of tourists were robbed in that walkway. I think that could be why the Riudor moved their entrance to the front. A lot of dodgy characters hang around there at night.
Please refer to relevant hotels webpage for full details of amenities I am an independent self financed vlogger giving limited travel information during my visits throughout the world
Servigroup hotels e.g. pueblo Venus calypso Nero not four star but nice hotels and food in my opinion better than riudor. Don’t know how price compares for jan/feb though.
I've stayed in the Riudor 3 times & had rooms on both sides & once the balcony doors are closed there is absolutely no music, noise or sounds whatsoever from outside
Been going to the Ruidor for the last 20 years before renovating it was a friendly hotel not know they have ripped the soul out of it it’s not a 4star hotel poor entertainment at night before renovations excellent
I don't think it's as nice as I thought it would be considering it's a 4 star . Food looks nice though. Have you done a tour around the hotel presidenti at all.
We go benidorm 3 to 4 times a year mainly appartments, however I treated the wife, to all inclusive at ruidor, sorry pal, food was garbage. We ate out every day for two weeks, room to small , balcony same. Sorry never again.
How is that a 4 star hotel. I don't know about European standards, but that's a basic budget hotel in the US. In fact, I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel of any rank that had single beds.
Parking outside the hotel and charging specifically for scooters hired from reception. Full disabled access in hotel and also a device for helping less able into the pool
I was about to comment when you sell it you can't have a full English every time you go to a new hotel you have to go down some healthier roots like some fruit
Hello, Hotel lovely fresh and clean, food very nice,plenty of it,

We were on that floor and on corner.but once balcony door was shut it blocked most of noise out.
@@janicecollis620 I got back yesterday room 203, music blaring until 2am from Waikiki even with balcony doors closed I couldn't sleep
Looked lovely to me, nice room and the food looked lovely too 👍👍

For some reason was not taken with this hotel perhaps no sea view , does not have the cosiness the last two had, good on your views as always
Looks nice.The possibility of noise would put me off but those staying there were not disturbed by it according to the comments. The food certainly looked appetising.
What I'm saying is there can be noise so that's why I gave the warning it never bothered me

Is it seriously only 2 foot deep now ? What did they do ? Fill in the deep end ? X

Stayed there in October.....no problem sleeping......even during a thunder storm😅🕺
Thankyou Paul, appreciate your videos🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Haven’t stayed there yet. May have to give it a try
Another good find paul 👍❤xxx

Not yet they have a minimum stay of 2 nights probably next time I'm there
Thanks for the quick respond Paul. Cheers
About what I expect for 4* rating. Nothing special but nothing to complain about either. I would be happy to stay there.
Someone said the Riudor smelled. It did when you went in from the old entrance. It always had a damp musty smell. Don't know what it is like now. And yes, there is a brothel beside the old entrance. It has always been a bad area.
My husband standing outside and we were sat in lounge also
Just wondering how much the drinks were at this Hotel and if they do a All inclusive option
Average price for hotels but not sure if they do all inclusive you will have to check that availability on the booking website
Clean hotel. Good choice of food.
Stayed in this hotel twice last year.Looks lovely after the refurb but we found the food to be hit and miss.Some days were better than others but I always found something to eat.Staying in the Rio Park next time mainly due to it been a better price.
Hi just be careful. Rio Park is situated at the top of Yellow Brick Road There have been a few muggings so keep to main road or taxis late at night
@@whoknowswhere Thanks Paul.I know where its situated.I wouldn't even contemplate using the Yellow Brick Road of a night time.I will be sticking to the main roads.And next time you are in benidorm go and watch the Beatles show at The talk of the Town.They are fab.

Hi Clinton, I've done the only 5,star hotel in Benidorm check out the video

Yes totally couldn't understand why no light even if it was at entrance end away from water
What was balcony like?
I show the balcony in the video
Does the Riudor not smell now? It used to smell awful every time you went in. And is the brothel still outside? Not in a nice position this hotel.
Not sure what your trying to say no smells and did see anything relating to what you said
@@whoknowswhere It is true, there has always been a brothel next door, Not a nice area at night. Regular Benidorm holidaymakers will know what I mean.
@@whoknowswhere Did you not check out the surrounding area before giving it a 10/10?.
Maybe "you" should book the Maldives for your next Holiday
@@darrenwarby32 Already been to the Maldives.
How much was security box ? Was there a security deposit for breakages?
Hi not sure never used it check the website they normally say if it cost I never use one I'm only in the room one night and if there is a charge it's normally weekly
Hi buddy, go see Kate and Tony at the Drop Inn Calle Londres, liver and onions 😊 give a review if poss, lovely couple ❤
Looks a lovely hotel xxxx
Restuaantcto bright.......dim the lights😂......hated your view off the balcony😅
I love disco🕺 but I love me sleep 💤 ⚖️ mmm. Great hotel the room looked good and cosy. That breakfast looked tasty. Great value thanks ❤
I've stayed there twice and are going for a third time. You can not hear the music with the doors closed.
Hi what time is even meal please.good video
dont know that was 8 weeks ago
I have booked 'la estacion' (4*)for 5 days from Monday. I booked it backwards and researched it after I booked...I'm a bit worried about it now🤣🤣
What is benidorm like in feb ,I am going next feb and wanted to know of things are open
January is the quieter time when a lots of bars close, February they normally are open again but things change all the time
Hi Paul can you do a review on riveira Hotel, when u get the chance pleeeeeesse😅
As you like doing hotel reviews how about you do a review on the midland hotel Morecambe
The food sold it to me ❤❤❤
My mother loved this hoftel
❤ 2:15
Looked a nice hotel food looked lovely but I think it's in the wrong place for me Paul still not a bad price though ❤❤
Hello, I can confirm there is a brothel beside the Riudor, and a couple of tourists were robbed in that walkway. I think that could be why the Riudor moved their entrance to the front. A lot of dodgy characters hang around there at night.
The brothel is on the next walk way just past the black chicken
Hope you didn't go crazy in the "Black Chicken" 🤣
Lol you know exactly where I am
please check for ele scooters charging please john nottingham
Please refer to relevant hotels webpage for full details of amenities I am an independent self financed vlogger giving limited travel information during my visits throughout the world
Hope u went continental for ur next brekkie Paul. Nice hotel but being in the thick of things, not 4 me.
Still no mention is the wifi free ect
yes
Riviera adults only still has the edge in food and cakes and puds
The hotel was ok, but it didn't seem like four star. It wasn't bad and I would stay there, I'm sorry preferred the 2nd hotel so far.
are you a Liverpool lad hey I am from Formby myself lol xxx
Yes born there
Servigroup hotels e.g. pueblo Venus calypso Nero not four star but nice hotels and food in my opinion better than riudor. Don’t know how price compares for jan/feb though.
Yes I agree.

How is that a 4 star hotel. I don't know about European standards, but that's a basic budget hotel in the US. In fact, I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel of any rank that had single beds.
More like a 2 star them sun loungers are done
What about disability scooters not good on legs
I'm sure there was disabled access from the main road check the website x
Parking outside the hotel and charging specifically for scooters hired from reception. Full disabled access in hotel and also a device for helping less able into the pool
I was about to comment when you sell it you can't have a full English every time you go to a new hotel you have to go down some healthier roots like some fruit
I agree totally full breakfast were becoming heavy but I managed lol
These hotels all seem to use the awfull "bimbo" excuse for bread, we take our own.
What's the fetish about checking inside the kettle? Very weird if you ask me.
Stayed in Riudor food is much better in Rio Park.
More choices at breakfast and Dinner.
