After reading all the reviews about the Kristal I was horrified, My friend and I went with an open mind, and was pleasantly surprissed...... its not the hell hole that people stated........ nor is it a prison camp, the rooms are spacious, clean, airconditioned and cleaned everyday, the furniture and docor are a bit basic. We were staying half board,... more

You are in Spain......It,s not all full english breakfasts,copy of the sun and a pint of John Smith,s. Spaniards eat continental breakfast and speak Spanish. Learn to say hello, thank you and a few words of spanish and you might get a friendly face. Hotel is not 5 star and you knew this before you went. Go with an open... more

Oh my dear god... I have never experienced such a hell hole in my entire life. NO hot water, absolutely disgusting food, if you can even call it food. Staff that need to learn how to smile and accept that they do really work in a prison and not a hotel. The tv received CNN but it was unwatchable. NEVER... more

Stayed for 4 nights in this hotel. It is right in the centre of Torremolinos surrounded by bars, shops and reataurants. The rooms are spacious and clean with nice ensuites and air conditioning. It is the ideal place for a short break (5 days max). The breakfast is basic but fine athough the evening meal is edible but uninspiring and... more

To say that this is an awful hotel is an understatement!! I felt like we were being punished by being forced to stay there! The only saving grace for me and my 3 friends were the cute bars at the bottom of the strip!!! Other than that, food, room, staff were horrid!! It was like walking around a ghost town,... more

I didn't think this is still possible in a modern Western country! Food (in fact you can't call it food) was good for the pigs...but we didn't see a human who liked it! Please never visit this Hotel .... manager comment..."we never had a complaint! " Don't they have a hotelschool in Torremolinos? more

The... more
