I stayed in the Helios hotel last week. Six nights, unbelievable value for money. Best hotel that i have ever stayed in, could not fault it, The accommodation, food, pool, gym, service, staff, and facilities. Plenty of Scandinavians and Germans staying there,(they tend to stay within the confines of the hotel) ,and a few Brits, just brilliant. If you want the night /day life, market, promenade all within a short walk. Well done to whoever made this video.
Best features of this hotel: 1. Very central with Starbucks opposite and lots of restaurants around it. 2. Clean and well maintained. 3. Large balcony with two tables. 4. A couple of minutes from the beach. 5. Comfortable bed. 6. Taxi stand just outside. 7. A lot of fast lifts. Downsides: 1. Room a bit small. 2. Breakfast was average. Overall, I would stay again. If you want a very central, functional hotel go for it.
Thanks Paul, for a great video, great footage always good footage, its a lovely room with a fabulous view of all your favorite places, love the sea view, the food looked good, and good it was still hot, and presumably kept fresh throughout the 3 hrs , excellent price wow ! 😊
Haha had to laugh soon as you showed the room I said to myself that wallpaper is upside down,I actually like this room better than the barcello it’s got drawers, x
Just watched this one again, it's one of my faves, the view from the hotel room was stunning and the food did look really nice and a great selection as well
The buildings are probably relections in water. As stated by others. However when in bed head on the pillows the buildings will be the right way up. Someone has had a funky creative moment I feel. Love the room ❤😊😊😊
🤗 Hiya Paul, lovely hotel, im with you on the wallpaper, that gets to me, 😂 lovely & clean, but 15, floors up is to high for me, id stay there, never been to Benidorm before, but you never know.
Value for money - everything looked spot on, spotlessly clean, excellent selection of food. Would definitely stay at this Hotel in the centre of Benidorm.
Wow, that view is amazing! We were on the 15th floor of the RH Princesa but could only see a partial view of the sea and Peacock Island. We went up to the rooftop bar at this hotel last year and thought it was lovely, but the cocktails were a bit pricey. Thanks for sharing your video, and I look forward to watching your next one.
I stopped at this hotel last year had a fabulous time, the staff is absolutely fantastic, just can’t do enough for you. Liked it that much we rebooked, and we will be arriving back in June 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thanks for your video first class, lots of information.
Lovely hotel. You mentioned bacon being fatty. In Servigroup hotels there’s a choice of streaky or back bacon. I always have back and it’s so tasty too 😊
Can we have a video on how you book your trips/ holidays? Airline flights seperate I'm presuming? Hotel room - book direc with hotel or via Booking etc; transfers? Book in advance or close to when you wanna go etc? My wife loves the sound of your voice by the way :) Keep up the good work Alan, Knowsley
Hi it's impossible to do a video like that I have stated in previous videos the layout of a trip searching for an airline hotels are book through comparison sites and transfer vary due to location at arrival airport it's not a simple process it do explain how I try to use the countries public transport and I just look for the hotel I want then search on as many of the comparison site for the cheapest option hope this helps
Hi Paul your room was very nice and with all the necessary items, and quite spacious. I thought down in the lounge and dining areas were fantastic. Very spacious. The food was prepared and presented tastefully. The views were magnificent. The cost i think for one night was very good. Well worth staying at.
Hi, was a lovely modern hotel and it looked disabled friendly too. I would be satisfied with the room, in the bathroom it is all one level which is so much easier for me. I have had disabled rooms, and they have had a step into the shower of about 4,inches which is no good fo me.The wallpaper is definitely upside down! 15th floor has a lovely view. Cannot believe the price of this 4 star hotel such a good price. Thanks for the video.
Think i booked a similar room to what you've stayed in, had room 1911 and thought i'd been upgraded or something!!!! Stunning views and decent rooms. Great location too i thought.
Great series - just found your channel. We stayed at the 4 star RH Corona Del Mar over New Year, the 4 star Melia last year and have booked the Barcelo for New Year this year. We were in this hotel and thought it was great but couldn’t book it on a package and the flights were too expensive. Looking forward to the next instalment 👍👍
The Corona Del Mar was a lovely hotel. Where are you staying next? Just a suggestion, could you mention the cost of drinks in each hotel - coffee, cola, beer, glass of wine etc.
Ihi good video to be honest price with a balcony at this time of year is much cheaper you try biok in September its a lot more let me tell ya ive tried to book for 2 adults for years but was over 2k ,just back from benidorm stayed in barcelo beach have to say beautiful hotel was good price again time of year but looked for September they want same ridiculous money 😢
Beautiful intro and camera shots. Good of them to check you in. Wowsers! That view was incredible interesting with the cityscape blending with the ocean and landscape 🌞 I have a theory about that wallpaper if they'd hung it the right way up it would've been obscured by the bed and headboard 😂 I remember you walking under those circle lights in the live. Wonderful adventures you have Paul. Amazing price!!❤
Great video Paul, thanks for sharing it with us. What a great hotel and how it has changed. I stayed there in the 80's and it was nowhere near as plush. Everything looks spectacular and I can't believe the price. Amazing value for money for a hotel in such a perfect location.
Looks a lovely hotel. I love having a high room with a view. Currently staying overnight at the Premier Inn at Manchester Airport. We have a high floor overlooking the airport. Flying out to Sharm el Sheikh in the morning. 😎✈️
Looks a love hotel , and like you rightly said the view is absolutely stunning. The flashing/ flickering lights in the reception area would do my head in especially if anyone have sensory issues or have epilepsy. Also the upsidedown wall paper in the bedroom would drive me nuts too. Both pools look rather small, but that might be just the angle of the video taken though . But for the price , location and view its looks ideal . Ive noticed in all your videos you dont mention if any of the rooms have air conditioning. Maybe you could mention this in your videos in the future as when staying in the summer months this is a necessity as it gets soo hot over there . 😁
It's the camera that flickers in certain lighting mostly indoor especially restaurants where they use heat lamps so the hotel lights don't flicker take care
Perhaps the room was empty as nobody had been booked in for a day or two previously, so they could ket you have it straightaway. Nice looking room and view. Calpe down the coast is a good place to visit, more of a Spanish vibe.
This is the child in me. I come here for a Vanilla milkshake. Delicious make sure you only drink one. I had two an dknocked myself sick being greedy. Great hotel stayed when it first opened😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve stayed at this hotel a couple of times and always found it to be excellent. The views are stunning. I wonder if they still do the Friday Gala night?
I'm thinking you have done really well again how much longer can you keep it up. I know Benidorm used to get a lot of folks going there in the winter from Scandinavia because it's cheaper for them to stay there as opposed staying at home and there pensions are much higher so they could probably stay permantely drunk and still have money left over
Another excellent looking hotel..Superb price definitely..Does really annoy me that single travellers pay more, I can understand in high season but not when many hotels are half empty in January / February 🤬... Thanks for another vlog 👍
Very nice, we were there march 2023 and coming back in June 2024. 17 th stock then, but we are gonna email the Hotel for 1501,1601,1701,1801 amazing view. Thank you. Try Hotel Cimbel also. Greetings from Holland.
Hi paul ,great find again and wow what stunning views .when you mentioned about bed bugs and said the eggs are black they are actually white and very hard 2 see they leave little black stains on sheets and sometimes redish browny smears so just be carefull u dont want 2 be bringing nothing back lol 😂
I meant to say black flecks on the sheets but you get what i mean, and no chance bringing anything back, i'd get charged extra by Ryanair if I caught something lol
Great vlog , well produced and very informative. Excellent value for money Look forward to rest of series … wonder if it’s the 4* we are staying in now?😁🤔
Was there in 2014, its ok, but stay near the sea in Old town, I do not remember a balcony do all rooms have them. I found better prices near the beach.
I stayed in the Helios hotel last week. Six nights, unbelievable value for money. Best hotel that i have ever stayed in, could not fault it, The accommodation, food, pool, gym, service, staff, and facilities. Plenty of Scandinavians and Germans staying there,(they tend to stay within the confines of the hotel) ,and a few Brits, just brilliant. If you want the night /day life, market, promenade all within a short walk. Well done to whoever made this video.
Yes the Helios is a nice hotel I think it's the sister hotel to the Venus and The Orange hotel take care
Best features of this hotel: 1. Very central with Starbucks opposite and lots of restaurants around it. 2. Clean and well maintained. 3. Large balcony with two tables. 4. A couple of minutes from the beach. 5. Comfortable bed. 6. Taxi stand just outside. 7. A lot of fast lifts. Downsides: 1. Room a bit small. 2. Breakfast was average. Overall, I would stay again.

Stayed there and visiting again this April - lovely hotel !!
Thanks Paul, for a great video, great footage always good footage, its a lovely room with a fabulous view of all your favorite places, love the sea view, the food looked good, and good it was still hot, and presumably kept fresh throughout the 3 hrs , excellent price wow ! 😊
I think the wall paper is a reflection of the river at the bottom and the buildings on top are the actual building.
Haha had to laugh soon as you showed the room I said to myself that wallpaper is upside down,I actually like this room better than the barcello it’s got drawers, x
Just watched this one again, it's one of my faves, the view from the hotel room was stunning and the food did look really nice and a great selection as well
The buildings are probably relections in water. As stated by others. However when in bed head on the pillows the buildings will be the right way up. Someone has had a funky creative moment I feel. Love the room ❤😊😊😊
Wallpaper is reflecting buildings in the water😊
🤗 Hiya Paul, lovely hotel, im with you on the wallpaper, that gets to me, 😂 lovely & clean, but 15, floors up is to high for me, id stay there, never been to Benidorm before, but you never know.
Wow. Fab price...great location too .. that's next to benidorm plaza. Looked lovely thanks 👍
Value for money - everything looked spot on, spotlessly clean, excellent selection of food. Would definitely stay at this Hotel in the centre of Benidorm.
I think the wallpaper will make sense when you lay down and look up !!
😂
Its either that or when hes had a few drinks and the room starts spinning😂😂😂
Stayed there years ago.A Tour Operator used to be very particular about the food for its clients and how it was presented for health and safety!
Great video thanks for the information as we are staying there on the 24th February for 5 nights half board for my birthday can't wait 👌🎉
Wow, that view is amazing! We were on the 15th floor of the RH Princesa but could only see a partial view of the sea and Peacock Island. We went up to the rooftop bar at this hotel last year and thought it was lovely, but the cocktails were a bit pricey. Thanks for sharing your video, and I look forward to watching your next one.
Excellent quality and value. Thanks.
Wow 😳what a view and such a great price 👍enjoying this as I love Benidorm look 👀forward to the next one 😁❤️take care
I stopped at this hotel last year had a fabulous time, the staff is absolutely fantastic, just can’t do enough for you. Liked it that much we rebooked, and we will be arriving back in June 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thanks for your video first class, lots of information.
£59!!! that's an absolute bargain for half board and a really early check in!!! Food looked pretty good as well and what a view!!!
Another great video paul a bargain the price for half board food didn't look too bad really nice hotel
It looks amazing, i love the view......fabulous!!
I am so grateful that UTube sent me your channel 🎉
fantastic hotel loved the footage you showed love bendiorm we normally stay at the Princessa
Lovely hotel. You mentioned bacon being fatty. In Servigroup hotels there’s a choice of streaky or back bacon. I always have back and it’s so tasty too 😊
Stayed in the Presidente opposite the Golden Arrow, lovely hotel , back again in April 😊
The Muriel on the wall, and is it supposed to be a reflection from The what would be the sea?
Great video as always but yeah i don't get the wallpaper, it would look better the other way around for sure cos it's nice.

I really like this hotel but there's a better one coming up (No.4) I think It's the best out of all of them

This hotel is a definate yes.
Stayed in this hotel a few years ago. Very nice but orientated to the Spanish clientele, especially the entertainment.
we love you paul u do amazing work so jel chris and carl xx
Fantastic hotel Paul, well worth the money. Thanks for the video.
Absolute steal Paul. Lovely hotel. Great vlog as always 👍
Great blog Paul ❤
Perhaps the room was empty as nobody had been booked in for a day or two previously, so they could ket you have it straightaway. Nice looking room and view. Calpe down the coast is a good place to visit, more of a Spanish vibe.
Are you sure they charged you the correct price… unbelievable! Super hotel. Nice info. Thanks.
Yes I paid the bill
Incredible value for money. Unbelievable.
Well Paul wow what a view looks a beautiful hotel madeira centro but where is everyone 😘
Just checked Paul £68 for 2 adults tonight pretty good 👍😊
Wow, that's unbelievable £34 each HB
Fab hotel but couldn't stand out on that balcony much stomache was diong summer solts watching you.xx
This is the child in me. I come here for a Vanilla milkshake. Delicious make sure you only drink one. I had two an dknocked myself sick being greedy. Great hotel stayed when it first opened😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing hotel put it on our list ❤great price fabulous video xxxxx
Hi Paul lovey hotel really nice view look beautiful and brilliant the room was amazing and the price was good 😊
Do they have wheelchair adapted rooms
I’ve stayed at this hotel a couple of times and always found it to be excellent. The views are stunning. I wonder if they still do the Friday Gala night?
Bot sure I was there on a Tuesday
I'm thinking you have done really well again how much longer can you keep it up. I know Benidorm used to get a lot of folks going there in the winter from Scandinavia because it's cheaper for them to stay there as opposed staying at home and there pensions are much higher so they could probably stay permantely drunk and still have money left over
Looks fab, thank you
WOW !!!!£59 WOW .
WHAT A BARGAIN FANTASTIC 😊
Hi rise ‘spoons and those views, wow.
When laying down, looking up, it's the right way up

Nice clean hotel. I don't think I would like to be on the 15th floor though. Good price.
🤔 Nice to see a good Hotel in Benidorm -- only downside is a long way to the beach and sorry to say the Rooms are too small.
