The Hotel was well placed near beach and shops restaurants etc. The staff on reception very helpful etc. The rooms were basic but fine with large balcony. I am well travelled and have stayed all over the world. I am not fussy and will eat most things of varying standards. The food here was absolutely disgusting. It was cold, dried out, reheated day to day, smallest choice ive ever seen at a buffet and almost at the stage of being not fit to eat. It really was disgusting. It is the worst food I haver ever had in a hotel. I would not stay here again purely due to the food. The hotel other than that was fine!

I loved this hotel... It's pretty basic but has everything you need... the location is as central as you can get to the old town and is only a few minutes walk to the beach and a fantastic selection of Tapas restaurants which are all reasonably priced!!



The Reception staff are really friendly and get to know you over the course of your stay.



Would def stay here again....

Stayed at this hotel for the first time this year and my first time in marbella. I have to say that I was disappointed as it was not at all as described in the brochure. The rooms were not as big as said in the brochure and were extremely basic, the furniture looked like it should have been in a 70's movie!



The food was terrible, it wasn't warmed through at all and even the milk wasn't in a cooler. I ended up with a really bad stomach for two days which nearly ruined my holiday. We complained to the rep and they were more than happy to refund our money that we paid for the half board.



It is a central located hotel but in a very busy town area, we even got dropped on the main road off the coach instead of being taken directly to the hotel!! I can safely say I won't be going back to that hotel or to Marbella as it is not a very friendly place at all.

This is the second year that...

This is the second year that we’ve stayed at this hotel. We booked independently and it cost about 450 euros for a weeks full board for two adults and a child.



It’s a small to medium sized hotel well located in the centre of Marbella about 100 yards from both the beach and the historic old town, and next to a park, which is why we like it.



It doesn’t have any grounds outside but does have a pool on the roof.



Although it’s in the centre of town we’ve always been able to park near the hotel so we’ve never paid a penny for parking.



The decoration of the rooms it a bit basic, but they do have safes in each room, subject to a small daily charge.



Food is fine and staff friendly.



Probably not an ideal hotel for a family holiday with lots of kids to keep entertained, but otherwise for a reasonably priced well-located hotel in Marbella I’d recommend it. I’d be happy to stay there again.
