Our top floor room was fine: very clean, fresh linen, instant hot water, efficient plumbing. TV was dated, some disturbance from late-night revellers and bottle-bank emptying. Plenty of food but somewhat second division - bought cheap, lacked flavour, some frozen vegetables (carrots,sprouts) badly cooked and inedible. We always found something to our taste,
though,with the best offerings from the griddle: fish,pork, chicken.
Good central location - we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is impressive on arrival. We arrived at 11.00am, the room was not ready, and we were asked to return at 1.30. The hotel allowed us to leave our luggage in a secure room which was helpful. After returning at 1.30 we were given a room on the 5th floor which had views of the pool, sea and streets below. The room decor is very dated and tired; the beds were uncomfortable and could also do with updating. Despite what others say we did not find our room as clean as it could have been - the floor was very dusty.

We found all the staff very plesant and helpful.

My son & I went swimming in the large outside pool - cold but refreshing. The rooftop pool is shallow and very warm. The views from the rooftop terrace are fantastic.

Given the number of guests the hotel caters for the food was very good, with a good variety to suit most tastes. The grilled meats and fish were excellent.

No need for private transfers from Malaga airport - take the train it's very very straight forward, on exiting Torremolinos train station look up to your right on you will see the hotel sign "Hotel Cervantes".

We were staying half board which we were very glad of as we were able to try the many different restaurants, on the most notable was the Valero on the prom nearly opposite the lift (for those who don't want to walk).

There is a lovely cake shop very near the hotel, lovely cakes to eat in with coffee or to take away nicely wrapped.

If it's a wet day take the train to Malaga, walk to the main shopping street and the narrow cobbled streets off it, you'll find many restaurants & cafes.

If you want to go to Benalmadena the just walk along the prom, about 45 mins, along the way you pass many interesting places to eat and various shops. There is a public wc in the centre of the 2nd car park in the centre of the marina.

We had a great week even though it rained a lot some days.

went to the gran hotel cervantes nice hotel in the center of torremolinos in a good position in the town the food there was some thing to eat the weather was bad never stopped raining the wi fi was a bit expensive at 9 euros a day

This hotel is spotless and the staff are lovely, however there is no entertainment although brochure claims there is. The pool area has inadequate seating area and you have to queue if you want a space. We were there with a young baby and had to go to the beach as we were unable to queue. Not much variety on the menu and we were not allowed a late check out even although we were prepared to pay the £30 charge. It did not merit a 4 star rating
