I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room had a fine view of the sea, and it was absolutely lovely with huge beds, ample wardrobe space, a walk-in shower, a fridge, and a very airy atmosphere. However, there was an additional charge to use the room safe, which was a bit inconvenient. The location was perfect, right in the center of Marbella, walking distance from the beach and the charming old town. The dining experience was a bit underwhelming as the breakfast was cold with limited choices.

The dining experience was a bit disappointing as the breakfast options were cold and not very diverse. However, the stewed partridge was a unique dish worth trying.

The hotel offers modern, big, and spacious rooms that are very clean, all at an amazing price. However, the air conditioning unit dripping water all night was a bit of a nuisance. The service provided by the receptionist was exceptional, going above and beyond by even liaising with the owner of the next hotel we were traveling to. The location, right in the center of the old town, couldn't be better for exploring. The dining experience, self-service with a good variety, was satisfactory. The facilities were well-maintained and convenient.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room, although in need of renovation, was decent and comfortable, featuring a small balcony with a side view. The service was courteous, but there was a slight letdown on our check-out morning. The location was perfect for exploring the town and beach, with easy access to transportation. The dining experience was quite good, especially for the value. However, the noise through the windows was a bit bothersome, and parking could be challenging.

The hotel had amazing rooms, all brand new and gleaming with a huge walk-in shower, but they were a lot smaller than any of the pictures showed. The service was super friendly and very helpful during my stay. The location was worth staying here to explore the beautiful area of Nerja, with excellent views. The dining experience was very limited with choice and was cold. The facilities were well-equipped and comfortable.
