Caminito del Rey hotel rooms a the Independent

"Positives. The apartment was well equipped (kitchen and bathrooms) and clean. There was parking available right outside and the check in instructions were clear and straightforward. There were ample heating and cooling options. Negatives There was no ability to access the balcony, which was advertised in the pictures and would have been a nice social space as there was no lounge area inside. The pillows were very uncomfortable and hindered a decent night's sleep. The lack of power points near the beds meant the bedside lamps didn't work and also not ideal for charging devices etc. The worst element for us was the building noise next door. While I appreciate this was not the fault of the Hostal, the apartment was uninhabitable from 8.30am for the majority of the day and some advanced notice (clearly the works had been going on a while) would have been appreciated as we could have made other plans."

"Lovely place in a lovely town, you don’t get closer to centrum. "

"The very personal touch from the owner, who made breakfast (crepes!) was very nice. Our room for three was very spacious, clean and comfortable. He was v helpful and friendly which we appreciated. "

"If you're looking for an authentic Andalusian experience with boutique comfort, Hostal Boutique Tolox Sierra Nieves absolutely delivers. From the moment you arrive, the hospitality stands out. The hosts go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, offering local tips and genuine warmth that makes the stay feel personal rather than transactional. The rooms are beautifully designed—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and blending modern comfort with traditional Spanish charm. The beds are comfortable, the showers are excellent, and everything feels carefully curated. The location is perfect, right in the peaceful village of Tolox, nestled within the stunning Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. It’s an ideal base for hiking, exploring the mountains, or simply unwinding in a quiet, scenic setting. One of the highlights is the atmosphere—calm, relaxing, and intimate. Whether you're coming back from a long hike or just enjoying a slow morning, it’s the kind of place that helps you truly disconnect. Highlights: Exceptional host hospitality Stylish, clean, and comfortable rooms Perfect location for hiking and nature Peaceful, authentic village setting Bottom line: A hidden gem in southern Spain. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting."

"The Hostal was very easy to find, very friendly staff and helpful, room was good, clean! The hostal is located on main drive, and it is veryyyyy noisy on a Saturday night with motorbikes, people out and about"

"Staff knowledge was lacking, however the maintenance man Danny was very helpful and knowledgeable. Fridge and hair dryer did not work on arrival had to wait a day for them to be exchanged. Breakfast was a mystery no menu or price could be obtained even asking 3 staff members. Parking was good. "

"The hotel felt a little soulless. The bar had no character "

"Staff were friendly and helpful. Room had a bad odor. The "double bed" was two singles pushed together."

"The hotel is a beautiful building. Staff were helpful and food was good. "
