"The worst day of my month-long trip to Spain. Altea is a beautiful town, with a charming old town and beaches. But this hotel truly made my day miserable. There was road construction right in front of the hotel, which immediately gave me a bad impression, but little did I know the nightmare was yet to come. The hotel was unattended around 4 PM. They added me on WhatsApp and sent us an emergency contact number. The power went out around midnight. All four of my phones—Chinese, British, and Spanish—had no signal in the hotel. Power was restored after a few minutes, but the alarm beeping continued. I messaged them on WhatsApp, but got no reply. I ran outside to call, and they said someone would come in ten minutes. They asked which hotel I was from, which made me very suspicious; this was explained the next day. I waited an hour, but the beeping didn't stop, so I went to sleep. But I was constantly groggy, my head filled with the beeping, waking up repeatedly to message them, but getting no response. At 8 AM, the beeping continued. I vaguely felt someone banging on the door; my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. I got up to check and found the road construction machinery was up and running—an excavator was right next to my window, drilling and digging at the asphalt. It was impossible to stay awake any longer. I had no choice but to get up and prepare to escape the hotel. Just then, someone knocked on the door. A woman was outside. She said she was the person who answered the phone last night and had come to handle it, but there was nothing she could do to stop the whirring. She also called us back, but instead of using the number we had left with the hotel, she called the number we had dialed, so no one answered. But what good was it if someone answered? The whirring continued all night. During the conversation, I learned she was a resident of the town and probably handled emergency situations for several hotels at night. We asked her why, since there was road construction, there were so many empty rooms (many people had run out during the power outage, indicating many rooms were empty), and why we were given one of the only two rooms facing the road. She said she didn't know, she wasn't a hotel employee, and we had to wait until 10 am when they started work (actually, people didn't start arriving until after 11 am). Today, when we checked out, we saw people still complaining at the front desk. But we were the most affected—the whirring was coming from the front desk, and our room was right behind it. The window faces the street directly. However, the front desk only politely said "sorry." Ctrip handles things well, but this is the first time in over twenty years of using Ctrip that I've given this hotel such a low score."

"Alt er meget dårligt, en vision af dem dødelig, jeg har ikke fordi se din datter i pyjamas på portalen rense, se, hvordan de kaster bilens omgivelser og musik til det bedste, mens rense, er en rædsel, at blok, og de behandler dårligt kunderne. ER ER SVÆR OG UUDDANNET, tog bag bygningen, der lytter til tutiplen og vibrerer hele gulvet, Kateter mennesker, uden studie ingen, alt gør fatal og lugter ligesom pipi."

"Hygiene: The floor was not clean. We spilled water and used paper towels to wipe the water, but the paper towels were covered with dust and hair. Service: There was a piece of cake in the room, but it was rotten. I called the front desk, but they just took it away and nothing happened. The child wanted to eat the cake and cried for a long time. Environment: The overall environment is OK."

"A superb location in the heart of Altea, offering convenient access to the city and beaches. This boutique hotel boasts stunning design, clean and beautiful rooms, and incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. The restaurant is supported by the century-old Michelin-starred el xato and offers excellent wines. Private parking is available for €25 per day. Renovated just a few months ago, online bookings only opened in July. Highly recommended!"

"2nd visit but won’t be the last everything was superb, staff were exceptional . Breakfast was delicious and the setting outside was beautiful even the music that was played in the background was in fitting with the whole atmosphere."

"A beautiful spot in Altea 👍 We visited the place during Easter with massage and spa and have stayed over a couple of times and it never disappoints you ! Spa, massage and nice rooms. Just a pity that not more people uses the nice restaurant😀👍 Excellent place…."

"Excellent stay at Altea. Hostal situate perfectly just near the beach. Room was very cosy and service was very friendly and hospital. Bed and pillows were very good. View from the window/balcoopened to the sea. There is small bar/cafeteria for breakfast downstairs which serve nice breakfast."

"The room was so cute and cozy. Everything was so clean. The view was fantastic, we picked the seaside view and it’s worth it. The location is the best. We have never visit Althea before but i know we will do that again and then we will be choose to stay again in HOSTAL PERLA BLANCA"

"This is about the 4th time we have stayed here. It is beautifully decorated and the owners supply just about everything you could need, and some! In the bathrooms there is shampoo and shower gel, in the kitchen there is coffee, sugar, cereal, jam, butter and milk. The beds are enormous and very comfortable. It is located in the old town with a tapas bar virtually next door."
