Hotel Apartamentos Bajondillo

Hotel Apartamentos Bajondillo

8/10 Good
"Stayed here for 2 weeks. Firstly, great location, right across from the beach and close to the stairs up to town. Staff were friendly and responsive. Having a pick up and drop off shuttle to/from airport was great too, The room was a good size, with a nice big comfortable bed, and great balcony that looked out both over the sea and the township; we got lucky for being on the outer west side of the building because the inner apartments would be facing the pool and courtyard, which could be loud at night with the entertainment going on. In terms other room facilities, the bathroom was a good size although the shower struggled a bit during busy hours (between 7-10pm). The kitchen areas was disappointingly small (2 small electric hobs and small sink space), but we managed. We noticed some other rooms had slightly bigger kitchen areas than ours. The gym was very handy and had excellent amenities, however a big issue is that there were often many young children (many younger than 10 yo) inappropriately using much of the equipment, often dressed as though they should have been in the pool instead...with no staff (or parents!) stopping this from going on. All in all however, would definitely consider staying here again..would just make sure I booked an outward facing room, and maybe look for a room with a bigger kitchen (at least for longer stays),"

8/10 Good
"This hotel was very popular with the tourists. It was at capacity upon arrival so we had to wait till 3;00 pm to go to our room . There was a storage room to put your bags in until room was ready. We just went to the pool. Check in was at a kiosk however the person at the front desk was very nice in helping us. You have to download the hotel’s app to get the virtual key but the app wasn’t working for many so we went to front desk to get it fixed, The actual room was small but good enough for our stay. Bathroom was nice and clean with a great shower. The hotel breakfast was incredible with lots of variety including fresh fruits , juices, coffee, and a large buffet filled with fresh pastries , breads, eggs, vegetables , meats and cheeses. Cereal too. The hotel was a close walk to the beach and very close to numerous restaurants and shops. I would stay there again if I ever go back . There were lots of tourists throughout Torremolinos enjoying the great vibes of this city."
