If I remember correctly the Queens Hotel was originally owned by the Drag Artist Levi & the late Derek D, I stayed there a few times and enjoyed it then, my friend preferred the Babylon round the corner and stayed there, I believe it is now closed. Great days 20 yrs ago.

Hi Neil. We don't know whether Levi ever owned Queens 👑. It was once owned by Julia Grant, however. Babylon is long closed, we're afraid. The owner wrote a book about the hotel 🏨 called Benidorm Seriously, which we found interesting 🤔 xx

Hi Colin and Tim Another great vlog on your room. Nice to see Aircon, and i loved that Balcony for a night cap or tea in the morning (or coffee if you brought your own) i must admit for £81 a night a couple of sachets of Nescafe would of been nice. Also guys two single beds, who booked this hotel out of you two ?? Re the counting of the coat-hangers good news there Colin, my therapist who is helping me with the C word Tim used in a previous reply gave me an offer of buy two sessions get one free, and she is happy to give you the free session Colin to help with your dare i say your coat hanger Fetish/challenge in life 🤣🤣🤣 Also Colin there was no need to cover up in the shower, your neighbour in the room opposite with a good view opened up a special vlog called ' Colin the man the myth' so we have lots of details 😜😜 Chris

So the Queens Hotel was owned by a lady called Julia Grant , who was one of Manchesters iconic Pride activist. She owned the huge Hollywood Showbar in Manchesters gay village which is sadly no more 😢 Julia was also one of the first openly transgendered woman , The Queens Benidorm is also on a very early series of Four in a Bed on channel 4 with Julia !

Hello chaps! I keep missing the Tuesday live chat because it's in my head it's the weekend. I used to always stay at the Queens. Bedrooms & bathroom haven't changed. Only trouble back then was no air conditioning plus if every room had an hairdryer going (if you can find a socket) at the same time the electrics used to blow - but it was the norm for those who stayed to sort out & deal with the trip switch. I remember good coffee - (not in the bedroom) & good food portions - if you liked food from home. It's a bit like a Blackpool (not a bad one) guest house that was OK for 1 or 2 nights. I'm talking 20 years ago & I note not much has changed. I eventually changed the hotel to, I can't remember the street - Hotel Avenida, pass Kafe Klee to the junction walking away from the Old Town & it's more or less on the corner. Brilliant, rooms amazing, food amazing plus! It is full of Spanish people who are holidaying for the weekend. Mega clean, mega coffee! & the breakfast super. I was a snob about Benidorm - until I went! If you want a mad happy night with sing songs & a bit rowdy - you've got the new town. In the Old Town you have got Tapas Alley & you have an amazing gay men's night & the same for our Lesbian sisters. Big, big thank you to you both for vlogging. Think it's been over 12 years since I've been in a gay pub. Looking back over my 57 years - had many a good night's & days & weekends & more. Feel like playing 'Una Paloma Blanca' Pouring a Sherry & taking up vegetarian Bull Fighting! ¡Olé! Thank you again - Colin & Tim x

@lordmartin2933 - yes it was. I remember watching her transition on the BBC many years ago. I was a young lad & for the 1st time I connected that I was different. Not trans, but gay. I always wanted to thank her for joining the dots for me & making things connect & relatable to my story. I used to live in Manchester, I went out one night with my ex & he took me to Hollywood Showbar (I think that was the name) - she owned it. One night after a drink or 3, I went to the bar & explained how I thought she was brave etc. & thanked her for making me realise I wasn't on my own. She was so welcoming, friendly & was just beautiful to talk to we often chatted on Facebook. There was talk from some she could be difficult to get on with. Not with me. Everytime I was in Showbar she said hello, had a brief chat, 'how are you?' - that kind of thing. She passed at a young age, 64 I think. I don't have a bad thought or word about her in my vocabulary. RIP Ms Julia Grant.

Hi lads. I thought you'd done a good review of the Hive so I had my breakfast there yesterday (29/6/24). The staff were honest before I (and other cusomers) sat down that there was a 35-40 minute wait for food. I wasn't in a rush so ordered the premium breakfast. Very good indeed and the home made sauce really worked. My coffee tasted slightly bitter otherwise I was very satisfied. There was a lady who was hard of hearing and the staff seemed really good with her.
