Just a great hotel in every single respect. Maintains a fully Spanish feel even in a touristed area - though they will speak your language. Super clean, top- notch personal service,beautifully maintained, the breakfast buffet has every imaginable option.. The ocean views are stunning

We will see you again soon 😍
We have stayed at the Hotel Balcon many times and it never disappoints. Although a little dated to look at, it is always spotlessly clean, staff are excellent and the position of the hotel is perfect. We are already looking to book for next year.

Best hotel we've ever stayed in and we've been to Nerja ten times. Room cleaned everyday, hotel was spotless, lovely staff that go out of their way to greet staff eveytime you enter the hotel. They even arranged taxi to airport. Driver met us at reception, took our cases and escorted us to carpark for €80. After staying at Hotel Balcon wouldnt stay anywhere else!
