Hotel Riudor

Booked this hotel as a last minute break for a few days. Picked it based on location and price. Stayed all inclusive. Arrived just after 12 to a warm and friendly greeting from the male Receptionist. Was given our wristbands and told our room would be ready at 2 but we could use the facilities immediately. Headed to the bar for the first of many! Drinks were nice and strong and staff friendly. The food was good, a decent selection of hot and cold and a gala dinner on fridays. Room was a decent size, cleaned every day and nice size balcony. Had a kettle and a full length mirror and ample wardrobe space. Safe costs 3 euros per day plus a 3 euro deposit. Only downsize is that the room walls were thin, i could hear the next door's tv and the bloke snoring at night! We were the Talk of the Coast side but on the 7th floor so the noise of the bars did not bother us. Older clientele than us, but everyone was so friendly and up for a chat and a laugh. I would definately stay again.

We are a mid fifties couple who stayed for a long weekend, half board. Food was great, plenty of choice for breakfast and evening meal. The room was modernised and clean and serviced daily. We went in the bar and watched some of the entertainment, no complaints at all. The location of this hotel is great too!

This was our first visit to the Riudor, having spent most of our holidays at the Ambassador Playa across the road. We had always wondered what the Riudor would be like, so decided to give it a try. Firstly, its position. Rooms look onto either the Black Chicken bar or, alternatively, the Talk of the Town and Valentine's nightclubs. Both sides are noisy with Benidorm "revellers" but by closing the balcony doors it helps to drown out the din. But this IS Benidorm, after all! Rooms were kept clean and towels etc replaced every day. Rooms have tea/coffee-making facilities and are replenished daily. Our room had a walk-in shower, which was a boon for my partner who has slight difficulty getting into and out of a bath. The room also had a mini fridge. A safe is provided free of charge with only a €3 deposit for a key, refunded on departure. No complaints about the hotel in general, which was clean and suited our needs. Our only gripe concerns the restaurant. Not enough staff clearing tables and we often had to find ourselves cutlery as tables hadn't been laid. We also saw guests taking their own plates etc to the trolleys used to stack used crockery. The food. Breakfast was fine. We didn't partake of lunch so cannot comment on that. Dinner. In previous hotels we found a much greater choice. It's somewhat limited at the Riudor, hot food-wise. I also found myself using the microwave on several occasions as some of the food was less than hot and warm plates were difficult to come by. All In all, a decent enough stay but I have knocked off two stars due to restaurant/food issues and noise, the latter being an issue which cannot be avoided. We'll probably stick to the Ambassador Playa in future.
