Reviews of the Avenida Apartments

Month of travel: April, 2010

Initial room was at the back of the appartments and to say I was dissapointed would be an understatement, however we were moved with 3 days to go.

There is still a terrible smell of cooking cabbage in the hall way, what is this?

Otherwise a superb holiday

We (me and my mom)got an apartment with two bathrooms, streetview and two big bedrooms. Avenida has a perfect localization in the old town. Each morning we saw children going to school. In the evenings there were many grown ups in the streets. Will come back.

Apartments and Hotel close to most of the best restaurants

Arrived at the Avenida Apartments and they had no knowledge of my booking. Had to wait an hour or so whilst it was sorted out. Not a good start.
The room I was provided with was clean and spacious enough and had all the necessary facilities. However , the balcony to the apartments looks out to a brick wall and you can just about see the sun if you crane your neck upwards.I would not stay in the apartments again unless I was provided with a balcony overlooking the street.The hotel across the road has a pool and jacuzzi on the roof , restaurant and bar together with entertainment on most days and nights and can be used by those staying at the Apartments.A bit of a hike to the action in the centre ( mainly British) but the old town is very Spanish and is superb.

Excellent, very large 2 bedroom apartment, with 2 bathrooms. Some noise at night, but worth putting up with for the location-right in the heart of things and just a stroll from the beach.

This is my second stay at the Avenida, and was in a 2 bedroom appartment.
At the time of stay there was roadworks going on around the main entrance.
On arrival my mother had a fall on the steps, due to the roadworks. It was days later that we knew there was a safer back entrance, so a notice about this on the front entrance would have been helpful.
One the whole we enjoyed are stay.
The Avenida is in an excellent position, close to the shops and seafront.
The rooms are clean, spacious and well equiped, and we had constant hot water and plenty of clean towels.
I would recommend the Avenida to couples and families wanting a quiet central stay.
I will be going back to the Avenida next year.

Basic - limited hot water - not enough for 2 people to have a shower - friendly staff - rooms need a major makeover and new furniture...

rooms great however the one my two daughters were sharing with the baby had a funny smell a bit like damp. with the windows open it cleared but couldnt leave them open with a 18month old running about. staff were helpful heating was fab and needed the week we were there.Roadworks a bit of a nusiance getting in and out of the apartments front door and it was'nt until halfway through our week we found out there was another exit/entry much more suitable for buggies etc.our rooms were to the back of the apartment block not a good outlook but quiet.The apartment my daughters had was huge plenty space for the baby to run around and more than enough room in the besdroom for two beds and a cot.The cot was clean and fresh.would reccommend to others and would stay here again location was great.

The Apartments are in a very good location.

A grill in the apartment would have been an advantage as there is only 2 ring hob and a microwave and 2 pans do not sit together very flat on the hobs. An electric kettle would be nice. Better lighting in the kitchen would be appreciated as there was only one light in the lounge/kitchen area and it didnt light up the kitchen adequately and it was based in the lounge area.

Would certainly stop here again.

These Apartments are actually in a good place if you don't have a car. We did and there were road works outside the main door so we couldn't get anywhere near. That aside the position is great for both Old town and New town, the beach is two minutes away,and you can also use the facilities of the Hotel directly across the road. The staff were helpful and the rooms were adequate for what we paid. We have no complaints about this place , and would certainly go back. We also booked the Benidorm Palace through Benidorm Spotlight and had a great night out, this is a fantastic show which you should make a point of seeing, if you do the top menu it's worth every penny. Benidorm Spotlight made sure we had a good week away and I would book through them again, no problem.
Thanks B.S. for arranging a great week away.

We booked the room on the 28 May 2008, the same day as they were released for booking, for a stay in November. We requested a room facing onto the street. On arrival at the apartments, the staff were good and we got booked in quickly, however, our room was not on the street but was on the back of the apartment block. From our balcony, less than 10 feet away was a solid concrete wall some 6 stories high plus to the left of this wall were residential apartments which looked into our room. I feel there was sufficient time to meet our request and feel we were let down by the booking staff. As a result we will not be stopping at these apartments again, and would not recommend them to anyone.

Excellent location, you are in the centre of the old town and a two minute walk to the beach. We had a very big apartment, however there was only one bathroom which had just a shower with no proper screens and only a curtain, which meant that everytime you showered you flooded the bathroom, and sometimes the lounge. Bearing in mind this can sleep six people, that is a lot of mopping up!!! Apart from this we were very happy with our stay. We did go over to see the pool at the hotel and it is tiny!! But who needs a pool when the beach is on your doorstep.

we thought the appartments were very clean and very well situated, as we were six women sharing we were very happy to have two bathrooms,and two bedrooms.we did have to ask for an extra bed as the sofabed was not big enough to sleep two. the staff were only to happy to help.we were on the front of the building so we did get a lot of noise,but we were not there to have early nights so this was not a problem. staying at the avenida was a good choice and we will reccomend you to anyone we know who are going to benidorm.i know we shall return next year.thankyou.

This was our second time at the Avenida Apartments, both times in April. We enjoyed the apartments great location, spacious rooms and the oppertunity to watch the busy thoughfare below whilst relaxing on the balcony. This time we were given a very large room on the 5th floor which had a double size balcony shielded on 3 sides from the wind and perfect for sunbathing!
The apartment itself had a lounge with dining table, sofa bed, tv unit and armchair, kitchen with cooker, microwave, toaster and fridge/freezer, large bathroom with shower over bath and bidet! The bedroom had twin beds, dressing table, bedside table and large fitted wadrobe. We never used the hotel facilities as we prefer the beach through the day and used some of the many local bars and restraunts in the evenings. These apartments are about 15 mins walk to the new town but are in the heart of the old town and are 2mins from the beach! Well worth the money and cheap at that! Will return again. Sarah and Neil.

Very convenient location, especially with new Mercadona supermarket opened close by since our last visit. Enjoyed using the hotel bar, and watching some afternoon activities there (eg line-dancing) - but did not use other hotel facilities (restaurant,gym,pool). Had room overlooking street again (as requested) - very pleasant to sit on balcony and watch street entertainers and passers-by down below, and not too noisy at this time of year. Highly recommended.

Just returned from our second visit to The Avenida Apartments and once again The Staff were friendly and efficient, nothing too much bother, the apartment was great and very clean. We had a 2 bedroomed apartment this time and it was huge with two bathrooms, very handy when you have taken two teenagers with you.
I would recommend you request a street view, as I have done on both visits as they are a great place to people watch and am aware that the apartments on the back do not have very nice views.
The only gripe I have is that you can only manage one shower before they start to run cold, can be a bit inconvenient if there are 4 or more of you in the apartments. Other than this these apartments are a great base, they are clean, staff are friendly, and good value for money as you have access to all facilities of the 4 star Avenida Hotel just across the road which includes a Gym, Jacuzzi and Sauna.
When I return to Benidorm in the Autumn I will be booking these apartments again.

these apartments are in a great location and the apartments themselves were clean and nice BUT.the problem is..there is no where to sit! we had a sofa bed and when one of us wanted to sleep there was no where for the others to sit apart from on the dinning table chairs! and each floor of the apartment share a boiler.i was in the middle of a shower and the water went cold and i was stuck with showergel all over my bits :-( with cold water.i wasn't very happy so i cantacted reception and they said ''i will send someone up'' they did - A MAID WITH 3 PILLOWS!! the staff have bad english.the good thing is when you book these apartments,you get access to the hotel across the road which is a 4 star.i cant comment on food as we never eat at hotel.i saw the hotel pool and its small with everyone staring at you! we went into the hotel for entertainment and the girl who runs it is totally lovely and very nice! i fell in love with her! all in all we enjoyed it.would go back again.heres a tip - if you have old people going with you,its ideal for them because of location.

Stayed here for 5 nights in January 2008.Bedroon was freezing cold at night and also the bathroom.Only heating/air con is in the sitting/dining room.Ended up sleeping on sofa bed to keep warm.Bathroom very tired,needs updating.Limited cooking facilities in kitchen.Patio doors onto balcony did not shut properly,therefore lots of street noise coming in, regardless to say,this impacted on 5 very bad nights sleep.Have stayed in Benidorm before and this was the worst.Good if you dont go to bed before 3am,bad if you are a early sleeper going to sleep around 10pm.Staff very helpful and friendly-and minutes walk to levante beach.Location is excellent,maybe would be good if you get a room at back of hotel

To be honest the room looks better on your site, but then again you get what you pay for and after all the apartments are in a fab position. The Hotel is of a much higher standard I would recommend the hotel to family and friends but I am sorry to say I will not be recommending the apartments they are very tired looking and in desperate need of an update. The full bathroom is a joke as if you were larger than a size 16 you would not be able to actually access the bathroom. As a swimmer we booked the apartments solely to use the pool we were disappointed that the pool was closed. We did however make arrangements with the hotel my parents were staying at and in all honesty will in the future be using that hotel. The reasons being that the decor was more upto date and the feel of the hotel was overall of a much higher standard.

We stopped at the Apartments and booked half board at the hotel. The hotel's location lived up to our expectations.

The food was really good and tasty and there was a good choice.

It was a shame that we didnt find out until we arrived that the hotel pool was closed, which was one of the main reasons for booking the apartment/hotel.

In the apartment it would be nice for guests to have a full list and/or price list of food and drinks available in the Bar/Restaurant of the hotel.

We would recommend the hotel and apartments and would stop there again.

This was our second visit to the Avenida Apartments. We were there in September 2006 and September 2007, following recommendation from a friend. Both visits were for 1011 days. We are also hoping to visit in July 2008 for approx 5 days for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The Apartments have always been extremely clean and comfortable, staff are always very friendly and helpful. It is ideally situated for both the local bars and restaurants and the beach

My husband and I have been to Benidorm many times and three years ago we found the Avenida Apartments.They are perfectly located in the old town between both beaches and we were able to use all the facilities of the Avenida hotel across the road.On our last visit we had a room facing the street and had a wonderful view of the parade celebrating the Moors and Christians Festival.Although the apartments are so central we have never been troubled by noise at night.The staff are very friendly and informative and we will certainly be returning next year.Linda and Tony Mears
