I misread previous reviews and was surprised to find a hostel not hotel, location was across the street to an empty beach, lovely people, very clean rooms, booked a private room, beds could be a little more comfortable, overall great experience.
I liked staying here. Felt like staying at someone's home. Clean and quiet room, comfortable bed, hot shower. Very nice and friendly staff, good homestyle reasonably priced breakfast.
Convenient and easy free private parking in front of hotel. 20 minutes brisk walk to Marbella center.
I would stay here again.
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights as we were going to a wedding about 20 mins from the place and we were really pleased with the hotel especially with how cheap it was. The family that run the place we're so friendly and welcoming, we strongly advise to try their barbecue on an evening as it was absolutely beautiful, the room we stayed in was clean and cool and beds were comfy. They let me borrow a hair dryer and iron free of charge and they were really helpful in telling us where places were. Marbella town is a 5 minute taxi drive and is such a beautiful place. We will definitely be going back!!
The staff is friendly and the hotel is in a good location....I found the bed a little old....could feel the springs.....Although this is quite common at this price point in my experience, premium beds come at premium prices. We had two single beds, even though we are a couple..this seems quite common in Spain as well.
La propriétaire personne très accueillante,serviable,par contre le ménage des chambres pose problème,lit juste recouvert,poussière jamais faite,salle de bain très bâclé
