"We stayed 3 nights in February. The hotel is in a great location , quiet but close to everything. The staff really make the difference here , kind , helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent with a super selection which catered very well for one of us who is vegan. We would definitely stay here again."

"The hotel is spectacular and the best service"

"This is how hotels should be self check in key pad for room entry a very clean and well presented room at very reasonable prices We had a issue with our internet a phone call away it was sorted I would definitely recommend here it ticks all the box’s for a break in this area for a not expensive break"

"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"

"We loved our room , lots of little alcoves , cool aircon . Separate tv room, dressing room and big bed. Shower and bathroom really well finished. Nice welcome and good WiFi. Parking good. Breakfast all fresh and delicious. , very pleasant room Pool deck and sun loungers very comfortable Would recommend you have a car or cab into town as too far for a walk. Slept well room , very quiet. Only issue is road noise is noticeable when sitting by the pool as a busy road is not that far away to the rear ( my guess 1/3 mile )"

"Good hotel"

"As soon as you enter the hotel lobby, you will know that it is an absolute 5-star hotel. Although this hotel is relatively old and the facilities are a bit old, the bedding and sanitary facilities are very clean, and the view is super beautiful. It far exceeded expectations."

"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!"

"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."
