What a dissapointment. Lets get the good points out of the way first, there aren't any. The place is filthy, poorly maintained and dangerous with exposed wiring, broken sockets and switches, the bathroom light worked sometimes, 2 pints of hot water for the shower, no locks... more

Just returned from long weekend in Amalia Apartments. Was dreading going after reading reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. The apartment was spacious and clean and had all the appliances in working order. Nice balcony, although at night the Spanish bars could be a bit... more

Firstly this is NOT an 'Aparthotel'. It is an apartment block that offers cheap accomodation in a very central part of Benidorm. We arrived at 11am (when the bar is open) and John greeted us warmly and gave us our keys. John owns the bar at the ground floor of the building... more

I dont know what all the complaints are about......we thought it was fine
I had already booked to go to the Amailia apartments and then found this site one week before going to Benidorm. After reading the comments made I was dreading going....I must say though, having come home and having stayed there for 10 nights, it was far better than I thought it was going to be! Granted there was no linen change for the duration of our stay but the apartment was spotless, tidy, spacious and well appointed (we even had our own drying room...i think all of the apartments have them.....also an iron and ironing board which is... more
Just stay away
We booked this place while already on holiday in Spain - we needed to get self-catering with a fridge - but that's another story. My first seed of doubt was sown by the rep at the travel agent who gave a surprised grunt when I said where we were going. I said 'you sound a bit dubious', 'no' she said! We soon found out why. On arrival the receptionist didn't know how long we were staying. We asked to confirm there was a cot but she didn't know. The apartment seemed bearable - at first. there was a very odd smell which turned... more
don't go there!!
If you value your holiday and your health steer clear! We booked what we expected to be basic accommodation, but not this basic. We had a top floor apartment which could have been very nice when it was built. I will list the faults: bath stained, toilet discusting, dirt, dirt and more dirt, door had been kicked in at some time and repaired, first light in to apartment not working, stairs very dangerous with tiles missing and cracked, pool misty with goodness knows what floating in it, staff hard to locate, just awful. We did... more
disgusting in a word......
this is the worst place I have stayed in Benidorm...sorry I can only say 1 good word and that was it was quite nr the town centre..the apt. was never cleaned and I had to ask for clean sheets and towels...she handed me the sheets at the door and I had to make my own beds...not a major problem but hey Im on holiday! The pool area was not kept too clean tho pool itself was not too bad.....as for the outside bars....7am is not an exaggeration as to when I got some sleep....they opened the spanish clubs and pubs at 11pm and they stayed till... more
Could be better
Me and my partner went here in the high season, August 05. I was shocked when i saw the apartments as they looked unclean from the outside. We went to reception where we stood for about 10minutes waiting for a response. Then we were given a key by a lady who didnt speak much english, and this was the only time we saw or had help from reception. The room was ok as we didnt spend much time there, although they never got clean and we never had fresh sheets or towels once. It is noisy on a night till about 4 am due to the spanish club next door... more
robbed by manager
arrived in hotel bar manager john met us and gave us room key. No management to be seen. Appartments large and clean average for the price. Good balconey. Second night suitcases of lads staying stolen from room everything stolen. Next night we were robbed while in bed saw intruders and reported the incident to police. In morning manger arrived and was identified as person who entered our room. Beware this hotel has bad reputation. nobody safe. Stay away............
Not as Bad as everyone thinks
i think the writer of the previous reviews are over reacting a bit. although i would not return to the apartments, it is not because the actual apartments. i thought myapartment was nice. a little crapmed when sleeping a night, as the forth bed takes up some space. But honestly, who really cares if its spacious when your sleeping. the staff couldnt be friendlier and the cafe/bar was nice. The balcony was massive and for most of the day, had the sun. the only reason i would not return is the nightclubs. the music isn't very loud and finishes... more
steer clear!
on the whole you can describe these apartments in 2 words SMELLY and UNCLEAN! me and my partner stayed 4 a week, on arriving at the apartments we were greeted by john the bar manager who gave us keys 2 our room, as soon as we got 2 our room the door had been kicked in the frame of the door on the inside was broken off! also the lights did not work! there was no1 there 2 fix it as we had arrived at about 10pm, we was told it would get fixed the next day! but we couldnt have the safe keys as john didnt have access to them and even though we... more
We also say don't go there
I am 54, my wife 47 and my daughter 19. We stayed in these apartments May 2005. Everything written in the previous review is spot on. The appartments have a horrible smell you can't lose..they are small for 3 people never mind if 4 stayed. Bins are never emptied although sheets are changed once a week. In our room the television never worked. Light switches were half hanging off the walls and were dangerous especially for young kids.The area has many spanish clubs and they keep you awake till gone 3am every morning. The scooters steaming... more
dont go here
when we arrived at the appartments we had to walk through the bar to get to reception. The guy who ran the bar ran reception, he also didnt really understand english, i had to show him where we were staying! There was a funny smell when your in the appartment.Me and my partner had to go out and buy alot of cleaning stuff and we did not get rid of the smell. When getting a bath you only get a foot worth of hot water so you have to boil the pan to get extra, so you then have to wait about an hour to wash the pots. You dont get a change of... more
