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.

Een verrassing.

Heel fijn en gezellig familiehostal. Warm, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Mooie uitgangspositie om dingen te ondernemen. Veel is lopend te doen. Beetje druk verkeer, dus vraag kamer aan de achterzijde. Enigszins verouderd, maar de familie, netheid en compleetheid maakt alles goed.

Gemütliches, persönliches Hotel

Gemütliches, kleines Hotel am Ortseingang von Marbella, nur 1 Minute zu Fuß zum Strand. Wir hatten ein 2-Bett-Zimmer nach hinten gelegen, so dass man nichts von der Straße gehört hat. Die Einrichtung ist zwar alt, aber das hatte Charme. Alles war sehr sauber. Die Bequemlichkeit der Betten war in Ordnung, man darf aber kein "Himmelbett" erwarten. Vom Balkon hatte man einen skurrilen Ausblick, da das Hotel am Rande eines Gewerbegebiert liegt, sah man viele Hallen und Hinterhöfe, allerdings ragten im Hintergrund die nahe gelegenen Berge auf. Direkter Fußweg in die Altstadt ca. 20 Minuten, schöner aber auch etwas länger ist der Weg über die Promenade (beginnt ein paar hundert Meter vom Hotel entfernt. Parken gratis vorm Hotel.

Märkligt läge i industriområde men superfint när man kommer över den hårt trafikerade vägen och ner på stranden. Fin strand med väldigt bra restauranger. Hotellet litet och familjärt där man gör sitt yttersta för trivseln.

Great hotel right near the beach

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!!

I would stay again

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.

Für Kurzurlaub zu empfehlen

Letzter Stopp auf unserer Andalusien Rundreise in Marbella. Wichtig war das unser Auto sicher untergestellt ist und eine gute Verkehrsanbindung mit Bus besteht. Trifft voll zu. Das Hotel liegt am einer Hauptstraße, die Zimmer sind jedoch ruhig. Die Altstadt ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Für ein paar Nächte ok, länger würden wir dort nicht bleiben wollen.

Comodo y acojedir

Es un hotel acojedor. Muy positivo que tiene parking privado incluido en el precio. Es sencillo aunque comodo y mas que suficiente para un fin de semana, si no buscas grandes lujos.
