Beautiful hotel, with great location. The staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Marbella! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town, with everything within walking distance and taxis easily accessible when needed. The beach was also just across the street, which made the location even better. The hotel itself was very clean and well maintained, and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of options. The gym was small but had everything we needed for a quick workout. The staff were also incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again on our next trip to Marbella!

8/10 Very good

At first we were overwhelmed by the amount of people and the traffic. Once we were directed to the parking location we felt better. Not impressed with the pool or the breakfast. We made the best of Marbella but not our favorite. We did find 2 good restaurants nearby and some shops to buy clothes and gifts. We took the ferry to Puerto Banus. That was fun but again overwhelmed with the amount of people!

We loved this hotel! The room was clean and spacious with a nice comfortable bed. Being on the fifth floor, we were very handy for the roof terrace. Breakfast and meals were plentiful and high quality. All staff were pleasant and very helpful. This hotel was aLao ideally situated for us too, right in the heart of everything and handy for the old town and all its shops and restaurants or equally handy for the beach! We will be booking to stay here again!

Best part of the stay was Paula, she welcomed us with a smile and took care of everything. Highly recommend if you are driving, use the hotel parking. The rooms are very comfortable and location is excellent. Old town is literally few mins aways and so is the beach. Great choices of restaurants within walking distance.
