My friends & I Stayed at the hotel for a week in September. I would say the biggest plus is the location as you are right in the middle of the old town & only a 5min walk to the beach, the rooms are lovely and clean & the staff are friendly. The main down sides are it was quite... More

The hotel is located on the best place, it's just a minute from the sea and near the city center where you find shops and restaurants. The first time that I couldn't make any negative remarks. It was all... More

“Excellent Location & Great Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

The Hotel is located opposite the Fountain close to Orange Square & the beach. It is very clean and the reception staff are very helpful. They offer a great value for money breakfast. There is a safe for an additional charge of 1.50 euros per day Will definitely stay here again

“Friendly and clean hotel in the centre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We were very happy at this hotel; the room was spacious and clean and most importantly quiet. I could not hear a peep from next door, occasionally only from the corridor if people were coming or going or just being a bit loud. We were on the top floor, overlooking a narrow side street and the mountains in the distance.... More

Myself and 2 friends stayed in the hotel in Aug this year and found the location to be exactly what we needed. A leisurely 5 min walk to the beach in Marbella for daytime, and directly opposite the bus stop which takes u to Puerto Banus(2euro) or taxi rank which is 15 euro each way for the nightlife. The staff... More

During our stay we had an issue with the car park system - the Director of the hotel dealt with this personally and sorted very effectively and very kind with us. We will be back there again. Thank you for all.
