Staff were friendly and helpful. I requested a change of room to be higher and this was no problem. Room was cleaned every day and towels changed. Check in quick and seamless. Taxi ordered for departure and bang on time. A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay.

This is our "go to" hotel when in Marbella Centro owing to its perfect location - near enough to key amenities and far enough to avoid the noise. In addition to location, the staff at the hotel makes one feel truly at home, all willing to cater and accommodate requests and very helpful and friendly - at all times of the day , even early hours of the morning. Finally, the bedrooms are well equipped if you want to cook and eat in. Spacious comfortable rooms. Very highly recommended.

The room was clean, but the furniture and amenities are quite old and need updating. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, it was a good experience, but a refresh of the room would make it much better.

date travelled 1st wk oct 2026 room was very clean and cleaned every day, room was well maintained,all staff friendly and supportive. only negative would be socket availability and location within room. Generally the hotel is good but some areas could do with upgrading. lower floor rooms road facing could be subjected to some road or pedestrian noise. but road facing rooms have late afternoon sun, pool area goes into shade from about 4pm at this time of year.

A comfortable hotel where I felt at home. Great location as it is situated within easy walking distance between the beach and the main high street. The area was fairly quiet other than a little

Very central, lovely staff, only downside was a school and paddle board courts behind which could be noisy in the early mornings but we got used to it after a couple of days.

This hotel is a hidden gem and was very reasonably priced. We were pleasantly surprised after reading some of the comments from previous guests. Ignore the bad reviews, our stay was great from start to finish. We arrived at around 1:30pm, well before the check in of 4pm, but the lady on reception was very helpful and said that our room would be ready in 20-30 minutes. She gave us a voucher for a free welcome drink whilst we waited for our room. The outside seating and pool areas were lovely and kept clean & tidy. Our room was on the third floor, with a balcony overlooking the front of the hotel (where there are some lovely restaurants to grab a drink or a bite to eat). The room was clean, bright and spacious. The kitchenette had a sink, fridge, microwave, toaster and electric hob. We only used the fridge, to store drinks and snacks, but it was very handy as there is a mini supermarket yards from the hotel. The room had full length blackout curtains, so we slept very well and we were not disturbed by any noises from outside. The hotel is in a great location a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the harbour, and approximately 5-10 minutes from the old town (depending on how quickly you walk). All of the staff were always friendly and helpful, we will definitely stay there again.

Good location for a couple of nights

We stayed here for 2 nights and was in a prime location for what we wanted. Clean spacious room and great staff. The bar and pool area was nice. Compared to some of the four star hotels we have stayed in, this 3 star hotel is better.
