Hotel Enfrente Arte

We stayed in this unique hotel in Ronda for three nights. I wish it could have been longer. Some people might regard the hotel as a bit "old hippy" but my wife and I found it welcoming, friendy and the most unusual place we have ever stayed. Be warned, the decor is a bit tatty in places, the plumbing is noisy and we believe in the past some people have complained about noise from the other guests, but all these little quirks just add to the general bohemian character of the place. I should perhpas add that we are a middle aged couple but we... more

This is a most unique place set in one of the most beautiful of the pueblo blancas (white towns) of Andalucia. The staff is outstanding. They give you a tour of the “system” when you arrive. You are taught how to use the free beverage bar(they have EVERYTHING), acquainted with the kitchen where you can get, for example, a great little tuna fish sandwich plate for 3 Euros, and then you tour the hotel. The view from the back deck is beautiful. Getting to the deck is just as nice as you walk ON a one-of-a-kind fish aquarium located in... more

My very recent stay with Hotel Enfrente Arte was really excellent, couldnt be better. Wtih the excellent scenic view of beautiful Ronda, it was unbelieveable! Customer service was fantastic, hotel staff spoke pretty good English and relatively helpful. Staff there were very welcoming! Free flow of drinks all day long and the wide selection of wine & beer make it best deal of all. Breakfast was lovely, wide range of choice, freshly prepared, freshly baked pastries, nice & delicious! Get to the roof top with a book & a glass of cold drink... more

This was a unique hotel. Really felt like I was in Ronda, and not any destination. It seems that the rustic (and free) bar area encourages the visitors to gather and socialize. When I was there, I enjoyed the opportunity to meet and learn about guests from a number of European countries, as well as the US and New Zealand. I agree with the positive comments about the food, drink, free internet, attractive location and the negative comment regarding the extremely low light in the rooms -- bring your flashlight or you won't find your dark... more

I struggle to write this review, because there are so many fantastic things about this hotel, but there are a couple of things to be aware of. First the good. The hotel is splendidly located, on a relatively quiet, pretty little street so close to everything in Ronda (but honestly, what isn't?--it's a VERY small town). The hotel oozes charm--it is one of the most charming hotels I've ever stayed in. It is super funky in all the right ways. The decor and flavor of the hotel really added to our stay in Ronda. The breakfast buffet spread... more

We stayed for two nights in April with our two children(7&8),they loved the pool table and access to the computer.They felt very independant as they were allowed to get soft drinks themselves.The parrott in one of the gardens caused them great amusement. Overall a very different hotel,that will bring a smile to your face.Staff very helpfull. The shower areas need a little upgrading.

Won't add anything much to the other positive reviews - they sum Enfrente Arte up nicely. Room - very funky, breakfast - excellent, bar - great, facilities - unique, location - perfect. The other thing to say is that the staff were brilliant. All in all one of the best places we've ever stayed in. Maybe not for people who like their chain hotels, but that just leaves more room for the rest of us!

My husband and I spent one night at this hotel and LOVED it! We wished we could have stayed longer. We also loved the town of Ronda. We drove up from Estepona through Gaucin on mountain roads with amazing views. The directions for getting to the hotel were very good. We had no trouble finding parking on the street near the hotel. It's in a residential section of town near the old bridge. The hotel itself is very unique. The rooms are very "artsty" with different colors, slightly dim lighting, and ornate doors. We stayed in room #9 which... more

We stayed at this hotel in March this year. Ronda is a great place to visit for a couple of days and this hotel is really unique. We travelled with my 12 year old daughter and she loved the freedom that this hotel offers. On arrival we had the guided tour, shown the free bar and the lovely gardens not forgetting the fancastic terraces with views over the valleys. We stayed in the suite which was huge and consisted of two rooms with an open fireplace and then upstairs to a equally huge bathroom. Plenty of room for the three of... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night in late December and found the place to be pleasantly funky --from the colorful interior to the stepping stones for guests above a fish tank in the tropical room -- and extraordinarily welcoming. Guests have access to free fruit, soft drinks, wine, beer and snacks at the bar as well as free Internet access. Space exists on the street for free parking, which is a big plus in crowded Ronda. Our spacious room overlooked the cobbled street but never seemed noisy. Many choices existed for breakfast, which... more
