A tourist has revealed how his 'very nice' accommodation in Benidorm turned into the 'hotel from hell' after he realised what was happening very close to his balcony.
The man shared on his TikTok account, @unofficial_stu, his recent experience at the Port Benidorm Hotel and Spa in the popular Spanish holiday resort.
The four-star property was, as @unofficial_st revealed in his clip, undergoing some major building work, with new rooms being constructed within metres of where the sunseeker was bedding down every night.
The sound of loud, rhythmic banging can be heard throughout his short video, and when the tourist takes his smartphone out onto the balcony to film, a builder in a hard hat and hi-vis busy at work fills the screen.
The TikToker can be heard narrating the construction-heavy scenes, saying: 'Sounds! We've got a builder...there's a big pecker down there, pecking away.'
He pans the camera down to major building equipment on the ground - and then shows the holiday pool, which should be jam-packed in high season, looking deserted, with the sun loungers empty.
With an exasperated glance back at the camera, he says: 'This noise goes on all day long until at least 6pm and they started at half past eight.'
He adds: 'So, if you're thinking of coming to the Port Benidorm hotel in Benidorm, I would seriously give it some reconsideration.

'Don't get me wrong it's a very, very nice hotel but when you've got to listen to that all day, it can be a bit f annoying'.
The minute-long clip ends with a fed-up looking @unofficial_st saying: 'That is all day, all day...oooh give me strength!'
It's unclear who he booked his trip with but on Tui's website, the property on the resort's Levante Beach gets a glowing summary, with the holiday giant saying: 'With a sandy beach and Benidorm's nightlife on your doorstep, this hotel scores top marks for location.
'The Port Benidorm lines up modern rooms, a good-looking pool and a big sun terrace that's made for relaxing.'
In the comments on his social media post, plenty of those who watched the video were sympathetic with his anger - with some guests saying they also had their holiday ruined by the racket.
One person wrote: 'Same last week absolute nightmare from 745'.
Another added: 'I can hear that too I was wondering where it was coming from. I'd move, you're well within your rights'.
'Ask for your money back and go somewhere else' added another.

One holidaymaker also in Benidorm said it was 'so loud' and that 'we could hear it way further up the hill too.'
A note on the Port Hotels website, which runs the accommodation, suggests that the noise might continue for a while too, with 'the full renovation' set to be completed by spring 2026.
Last month, locals in Benidorm revealed how Spanish tourists often avoid Brits in the town at all costs.
For many Brits, the Costa Blanca hotspot is their ideal holiday, with the neon lights of late night bars, cheap pints in the sun, raucous stag parties and football on big screens.
However for Spanish holidaymakers flocking to the Costa Blanca for a relaxing getaway, visitors from the UK are the very symbol of the scourge of over-tourism.

How Benidorm is split in two with Spanish holidaymakers avoiding Brits like the plague
The battle lines in Benidorm are drawn between the traditional quaint streets of the 'Old Town' where native visitors go to unwind and the buzzing pub-packed strips of 'the New Town' where Brit drinkers party the night away.
Stephen Critzov, who has lived and worked in Benidorm for three years, told MailOnline: 'The British stay in one area and the Spanish stay in one area.'
While Ariadna Perez, 22, who works at an ice cream shop in the old town, said the tourist divide keeps Benidorm peaceful.
She said: 'I want them [the Brits] to stay away from this area, not many people like the British tourists.
'Some British tourists are rude they're drunk and sometimes they're very rude and disrespectful.'
Ms Perez's distaste towards Brits comes as anti-tourism protests have been raging across the country.
This month, thousands marched to tell Brits to 'go home' as part of widespread protests against so-called 'over tourism'.
One of their biggest issues is that as the tourism industry has grown in Spain, the demand for B'n' Bs and holiday accommodation has risen, JetBlack causing rent for locals to soar.
