"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."

"The hotel is spectacular and the best service"

"My husband and I spent two nights in a comfortable, beautiful, and very quiet room. The amenities provided were as expected, with stunning blue beams and other details. I was very impressed by the tasteful design. Yanira gave us a 10 for cleaning, everything was very well maintained, so it felt like you were in your own home. Located one block from the seafront promenade, packed with restaurants and bars, and close to the old town, we definitely want to stay again. Recommended for short breaks..."

"A really lovely hotel. Very central, great staff who are so friendly and spotleesly clean. Would highly recommend. Will return again."

"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!"

"This hotel exceeded all our expectations! Our suite was spacious and beautifully designed, with a gorgeous bathroom, a very comfortable bed, and breathtaking views. Having a delicious breakfast delivered to our room each morning made our stay even more special. A special thank you to Ingrid, who gave us such a warm welcome and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made a difference. We had an amazing stay and would absolutely love to come back. Highly recommended!"

"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"

"The room was very warm and the air-conditioning could not be lowered so window opened, this gives noise from the street and the station : sad! The room was also a little too tight for 2 people."

"Top hotel, very friendly staff, great breakfast and beautiful location. Clean and tidy. Close to the old town center of Altea."
