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

Please never visit this Hotel .... manager comment..."we never had a complaint! " Don't they have a hotelschool in Torremolinos? more
