Hotel

A very nice clean hotel, the rooms are on parr to any 3* hotel in benidorm, plenty of room for just the 2 of you (could be a bit crowded if there was 3), maid service every day, beds and towels changed daily. The air conditioning was very quiet you couldn't even hear it!, you had a choice of three settings. Your room card, controlled the air conditioning, (but we just put a blockbuster card in the slot, when we went out,) - so room was lovely and cool when we came back in!. We emailed the hotel to ask for a room on the second or third floor, overlooking the pool, we got exactly what we asked for a room on the second floor, overlooking the pool (room 222)- so very happy bunnies!!. It has been mentioned previousely that the walls were thin - we never heard a thing (Must have had considerate neighbours), the only time I heard anything was when I was getting a shower on an evening, you could hear next door talking if they were in the bathroom, - but as we didnt have to sleep in the bathroom it was not a problem!.The noise from over the road could be heard on an evening, but believe me, as soon as the patio doors were shut, you couldn't hear anything.Another thing I could not believe, (as I have never encountered this before), is that no-one (Whilst we were there anyway), put their towels on the sunbeds to reserve them, we could go down round the pool at dinner, and there would be spare sunbeds!. You could also hire a fridge for 3E per day, or 18E per week. The television also has a few english channels (and they are changed daily, one day it could be itv3, next bbc1 etc..), the only reason we knew this, is that we would put the telly on whilst we got ready on an evening (We wern't a couple of saddos who stayed in and watched the telly every night lol!), Except on the very last night, (as we were getting picked up very early morning), I rang reception to ask them if they would put itv3 on, as I wanted to watch corrie lol! (bbc2 was on), and they changed channels immediately!

Food

A good selection of food at breakfast, eggs, sausages, beans, black pudding, tomatoes, and bacon (why do the hotels always have that fatty streaky bacon?) - must have funny pigs in spain! , would love to stay at a hotel and have back bacon!, nice selection of cheeses, meats, fruit, cereal etc.., Oh, and a member of staff filling the toasting machine, up, and serving the toast to you which was great!

The evening meals were nice too, although my only gripe would be that every night fish, pork, and pizza was served, there was a lack of hot food, but the salad selection was very nice, with a selection of different cheeses, and meats served.Poached salmon, smoked salmon, and fresh prawns was served one night, which was lovely. They did an italian night - this only consisted of spinich lasagne, and salmon ravioli!,- but believe me you won't starve, - we always found something to eat, the food is lovely and of a good standard, - just not a great deal of choice of hot meals, - but this didn't bother us, we actually preferred the salads, and cold selection!

Entertainment

I really could not comment on the entertainment, as we went out of an evening, but from what I saw when sitting on the balcony, I would say this was on parr with other hotels entertainment program, magic show, parrot show (God, if you have seen one parrot, you have seen them all lol!), free bingo, with prizes (bottle or chocs) etc... etc..

Location

I have saved the worst bit, for last! Whilst there we saw a couple of fights, (2am ish), right near to the orange hotel, this could be quite off putting, (and frightening), for the older generation (didn't really bother us, - as it was just like any saturday night , around our local town lol!) - Although if I had not have ducked one night, and run quickly to one side, I could havegot caught up in one of tyhe fights, and got quite a nasty injury - I have to say (in defence of the english), it was the spanish lads we witnessed fighting (not to say the english lads have never been caught up in a scrap!), - what astounded me though, was there was a policeman, only a few yards up from where one fight was taking place, and he did absolutely nothing at all! Although we were there in the high season, it could be a completely different story in low season!

All in all, a great hotel, just a slight pity, about the location, although having said that, it would not put me off going again!

Have a fab time!

This is the second year running we have stayed in the Hotel Orange, and I can honestly say I think it was better this year than last.

The hotel is in a fantastic location. Right on the square and only a few minutes to the beach.

The hotel is spotlessly clean with the maids coming everyday to change the towels and make the beds. The rooms are a decent size with plenty of storage space.

Don't worry about hearing any outside noise as once the balcony doors are closed you can't hear anything.
The air con is brilliant and silent.

The food in the hotel is excellent with plenty of choices and it is always hot.Even the fussiest of eaters will find something they like.

We didn't make it to the pool although there were announcements about reserving beds or leaving them unattended for more than 1/2 an hour.

Can't comment on the entertainment, as we didn't bother with it.

I would recommend the hotel to everyone and am already looking forward to our 3rd visit next year.

Came on a lads holiday to the Orange.

Found the hotel to be clean. The staff were all very friendly. Food was ok might be a bit repetetive if here for more than a week.

The location if you want to be where it's happening is perfect straight out of the lobby into sinatras with the Cafe Benidorm on the corner.

Would definitely come back to this hotel.

We stayed full board. The food was good would not have full board again too much eating lol.

The hotel is very clean and the staff were brilliant nothing too much trouble for them at all. Clean towels everyday.

If you are not on your sunbed around the pool after 30 mins of leaving it your towel is whipped away "which is good" and it is done because we saw it happen,shame we never saw their faces when they returned to see their towels gone.

The hotel is over the road from Cafe Benidorm and champions but it never stopped any of us getting to sleep once the doors were closed. Its a great location near to everything you need,good for us fall out of cafe benidorm straight into our beds lol. Charlie and Stacey watched the football in the sanctuary "where the entertainment is" and we saw two artistes, a big place to fill but they always did,bar staff were very quick at serving which was good.

This hotel was excellent travelled with my Gran and she loved it. Staff was very friendly. Food was excellent varied every night. Entertainment was poor one show per night. There were dance lessons most days but mostly Spanish people.

Would definitely go back to this hotel again.

Going back to Benidorm in September but Hotel was full at this time

Booked direct, great price, we stayed here 4 yrs ago its even better now. Food choice wonderful, excellent choices and HOT they seem to cook to order just so much then cook again fresh.

Rooms very good and as warm as you could wish for no noise from the clubs we were in room 422 staff excellent we came on a long weekend friday till tuesday booked our own flights [ monarch booked hotel direct booked hotel airport hopper bus.

Go and enjoy this great hotel its very very good.

Oh and the sanctuary show bar in the hotel is one of the cheapest you will find with international spirits non watered beer and good coffee cheaper than most bars.

Hotel Orange is very clean and the staff are friendly and efficient.

Food was good with plenty of choice.

The area the hotel was in was rather shabby,But considering the nightclubs opposite, we had no
problems with any noise.

The main lounge/entertainment area allowed smoking all over,the only non smoking area was a piano bar, which had no music, TV or even a bar.

I thought that Spain had banned smoking in public areas last year.

For this reason and the location we would not visit this hotel again, which is a pity.

This is a central situated hotel. A "no frills" category, with the usual luke warm food in a buffet type restaurant. Food selection basic. The restaurant does not open until 7 pm evening and makes for a full table situation on occasions, making the Norman Wisdom type manager fly around a bit.
The rooms are clean, our bathroom flooded when the bath emptied. Maintenance unable to alleviate. The Ants didn't seem to mind either.
Poor smoking policy in the main entertainment lounge, we were choked every evening by smoke.
Can't really recommend. Better places in Benidorm.
But cheap for the price we paid.

This hotel is perfect, you can stagger out of the lively square stright in to bed. The walls are a little thin so you can hear everything? Perfect location for the young would not recomend for familys due to the noise from the bars other wise amazing hotel.

Food at this hotel excellent although at times restaurant was busy never had any problems finding a table. Staff came to you straight away to offer you a drink.

Towels changed every day room was kept spotless, as were all areas of the hotel.

Right in the heart of the square, but as mentioned before when balcony doors were closed there was no problem with noise. Clubs and bars on your doorstep.

Staff very pleasant could not do enough for you especially reception staff very helpful indeed.

Cannot comment on entertainment as did not spend any evenings in hotel, too much happening outside!
