We had booked a week here but the minute we got into the hotel we were disappointed. Everything in the hotel is dated, even thought we werent impressed we still went up to room and decided to make the most of it. The lifts were old and slow especially if you were on one of the higher floors. The corridors are dark and dingy, the paint and carpets look old and dirty. The size of the room was about the only positive in the "hotel", the room was clean but it was just not up to the standard of other apartments was have stayed in.

We then went to find the pool and eventually located it on the first floor but couldnt get out to it as we needed a code so we had to go back down to reception and get the code. The pool area while large, was very disappointing, the whole area didnt seem well maintained. You also need the code to get back from the pool to the hotel which seemed very strange to me.
After seeing the pool area we decided we would find another hotel to stay in and went across to the Florida Spa which was a hundred times nicer and cleaner and well worth the additional cost.
When we came back to reception to tell them we weren't staying they were very rude and unprofessional to us. They never asked why we didnt want to stay or if they was anything they could do to change our minds, this would suggest to me it happens quite often.
I would only recommend this hotel to a group of lads on a cheap holiday.

We had a short stay at PYR are were really impressed by its good location, Central for everything and short walk from the train station which can be taken direct from the airport in Malaga and is not expensive. (unlike the transfers we paid for)
We had a triple room with two single beds and a sofa bed and it was a really good size.
There wasnt any hair dryer, iron or kettle in the room and we didnt want to ask reception as some of the staff were a bit off hand. ( chambermaid was friendly )
The pool was very clean although it was freezing cold on a very hot day?? and the bar was not open?? we were also charged for using the sun loungers??
I would stay at this hotel if I was to visit Fuengirola again.

Booked thePYR as is disabled friendly. had a studio apartment, well furnished, but no microwave & spanish only TV, (thought we might at least have a world news chanel). there was a bank of switches on either side of the door that controlled different zones , i.e. lights, cooker , tv etc, but no instructions, we thought at 1st cooker & fridge wasn't working. Worst of all were the beds, ABSOLUTELY ROCK HARD!!
PYR is in a good central location , if we had had better beds then I would recommend it.

Firstly, this writer is a retired travel counsellor...................
Four of us - seniors - stayed for 6 weeks at this hotel in 2007.
After some polite discussion after our first night re our initial assigned apt ,(too small,the next one too noisy) we eventually finished up in a one bedroom penthouse suite which was clean,roomy with huge balconies and marvellous views.
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.
The location was terrific and parking our rental car was no problem.
Our apt had one dbl bed in the bedroom(the women slept there)and there were 2 sofa beds in the living area which the men quite happily slept in.
We had a 4pc bath, and a dining area as well as a very roomy adequately-equipped kitchen.
Two huge sliding doors led out to our corner balconies which overlooked the craft market area.
This hotel was purchased from Holiday House Tour Company in Canada through a travel agent and was extremely reasonable.
