Great room for a good price

Great location in the centre of old town marbella and only a 5 min walk to the beach. The room has great views and was clean. The only room for improvement would be the bed. It slipped away from the wall during the night meaning our pillows kept slipping down.

Good stay

A very nice stay however a couple of disappointments. On the facilities it says parking available. This is not the case, there is public parking nearby. I was expecting valet parking with a concessional rate. Needs to be clearer prior to arrival. Also only one bath towel in bathroom. Had to ask multiple times for second towel. Otherwise a nice stay. Very central
