Amazing refurbishment of an old favourite. I love what you have done to the hotel, it is clean, spacious and has the friendliest staff. The rooms are huge and we had a great view over the Parque Alameda. The rooftop bar and pool area are great. Breakfast was really good - lots of choice. Thank you - we had a great stay

Had a wonderful few days staying in this warm, friendly hotel. Location is perfect as beach few minutes away and behind us the beautiful old town. When we arrived Sara was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Although we arrived in the morning she arranged for us to have a room earlier and the use of shower on last day was so beneficial. Without her we wouldn’t have known you could get the boat to Puerto Banus which we thoroughly enjoyed and went at teatime for dinner and then got a taxi back. Just wish we could have stayed for longer ….. we will definitely come back. 😎

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.
