Perla Hostal Residencia

Really great hotel everyone so friendly and helpful, only glitch was when we got there the rooms were not ready but no problem we sat in the bar at the front n got drunk!
Rooms were excellent and very clean and spacious even the girls who were sharing 3 to a room.
8 of us went in May 2007 19 of us girls are going to the same hotel and with the same operator.
Is so near the nightlife but also near the 'grown up bars' too for anyone who does not want to go clubbing which me n my sister in law didn't want to do every night as we are in our forties. Try Morgans for really good turns n great service.
Try Cafe Benidorm for a storming night (stamina required) you wont need a taxi as is very short staggering distance from hotel.
Try the market on Sundays and Weds also within a short walking distance.
Great hotel n cracking holiday can't wait for May 16th see you there!!

Having been to Benidorm twice before, this hotel was the best I have stayed in. I have no idea why this is only a 2 star!! unbelievable. The rooms are lovely and both the staff and the maids are very friendly (hi to Manuel at the pool bar). We paid for B&B and the breakfast was lovely, you're typical british variety with bacon, sausage, egg etc but far better than other hotels I have stayed in. You can't go wrong. The pool is also fab and we didnt have any problems getting sunbeds (free). There is also a indoor bar area with air con to get away from the blistering heat. Superb
As for the hotel's location, FANTASTIC. It's literally a stone throw away from Cafe Benidorm. Great for staggering home at 8am which we did mostly every night!! The beach is around a 5 minute walk. There are also bars, restaurants and cafe's right outside the Perla.
I recommend the square for buzzing clubs eg Bahamas, Hipprodome and Lennons - definitely wild nights out. But also for a quieter night try the Morgan Tavern, I highly recommend the Westlife Tribute, these guys are Fab and dare I say 2 of them are really fit. Also Rockerfella's is a must for the Take That tribute, they are great too. And last but by no means least visit Valentine's to see Matthew & Son - a great father and son act and very good friends of ours.
Benidorm is a fantastic resort for all ages and you will not be dissapointed. I'm going back in June 08 and can't wait!!!! Enjoy your stay

What a find this hotel was! It's classed a 2 star but this must be way out of date.
The rooms were immaculate and cleaned every day. And all the staff were really helpful and polite. We have already booked up again for next year.

Why this hotel is only a 2 star I will never know!!!! had a fantastic time, hotel superb. At night when you have the patio doors shut (air conditioning on) you can hardly hear a thing. The breakfast is lovely and always plenty of. I would stay at this hotel again any time, the staff are lovely.
Only thing we missed is a fridge in room!!!!! But we knew this before going.If you are like us and like to party but not all night mind, ask for a pool side view as the other side of hotel faces onto an all night pub/disco!!!!

12 Of us stayed at this hotel on a stag do. Cracking location just a short stagger from Cafe Benidorm. Clean, staff were friendly.
Cheap and Cheerful over all. A great base to explore the many wild and wonderful things that Benidorm has to offer. There probably are cheaper hotels on the web, but none will be better located for the nightlife!!

The hotel Perla is in an excellent position for the nightlife of Benidorm, the rooms basic but clean.
Unfortunately this is the noisiest hotel I have stayed in, the doors had to be slammed to close and some of the other guests were very noisy coming in at night. We sometimes didn’t get in till 4am,but we did not make a noise.
The hotel walls were very thin and the people in the rooms adjoining could be heard word for word.
Although the hotel boasts air conditioning, it is only on a few hours a day, therefore when we awoke at lunch time, it was like sleeping in a greenhouse.
Pack your earplugs or buy them in the chemist opposite for 3 euros, you are going to need them.

Its very fair value 1 week 180 euros. Staff were all ok. Rooms clean good size. Food choice ltd, but spot on. Close to beach short walk into main party town pubs near by white horse avoid the queen Mary London bar good breky going back in Jan 05
