Breakfast at 10 Euros is a bargain - hot and cold food available. The pool is small but pleasant, staff are so welcoming and helpful. The pool bar and cafeteria are great, not a wide choice but very good value. Mummy only comment is that it would be nice to have coffee/tea and milk available in the room on arrival - otherwise this is now my hotel of choice in Benalmádena

Location just beside local trains is ideal; you get very easy to next villages/towns. Trains or other trafic doesn’t disturb and there is a few good/quality restaurants at the sea line. Nearest Mercadona is in walking distance (approx 1 mile away). Will gladly choose the hotel again!

Everything was great for a comfortable stay. However, upon arrival, they informed me that they do not have a gym as part of the amenities although it’s listed online. Other than that, everything else was great, was just disappointed that I booked a hotel with a gym and it has great pictures, but not an amenity.

Small hotel in an ideal location for our needs. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Rooms spacious with a kitchen and dining room table and chairs. Plenty of storage space in bedroom area. Balcony with small wooden table and two chairs. Metal pull out clothes line on balcony was useful. Bathroom OK but found the shower over a rounded botyom bathtub and no safety bars to hold onto a little unsafe. Rooms clean. Cleaner every other day. Breakfast OK.

The reception was good staff helpful, our room was up in the lift, ok with wheelchair, lots of space in the room, only let down was the bath with no grab rails, my husband couldn't climb into it, luckily we only stayed 1 night, i did mention it at check in no shower only rooms available. Liked the idea of a mini kitchenette. A nice walk down to the restaurants, but steep walking back up, good job my husband had his mobility scooter.

Disappointing

We booked for 2 nights and unfortunately the hotel did not live up to our expectations. We felt like we were staying in a rest home for the elderly. No entertainment whatsoever, no lunch or evening meals so had to eat out each night and not easy finding a place unless you are driving. The bar shuts at 7 i think , so boring nothing to do unless you go out . I normally like to stay in the hotel and enjoy the experience but unfortunately not. Whilst a kettle etc; was provided this was the first hotel ive stayed in that doesn't provide coffee / tea of some sort. On the plus side the staff are lovely very friendly, the room was ok but noisy first thing as we were directly above the reception/ dining area. Sorry will not be going back again .

Sitio aceptable por un buen precio, yo pagué 100€ por noche y creo que pague demasiado. La condiciones del apartamento no está mal, se nota que es antiguo pero intentan cuidarlo. Los muebles y la cama están bien. Cuidado con la ducha, para duchar tienes que pegarte a la pared y la agua caliente no aguanta para 3 personas ducharse al día. De resto bastante aceptable.

Tolle Lage mit schöner Aussicht, sehr freundliches Personal. Man hört teilweise die piependen Türen der Züge, ich konnte das aber gut ausblenden. Das Frühstück war gut, aber nichts besonderes. Obwohl im Hotel viel los war, war es am Pool sehr ruhig und man hat immer eine Liege bekommen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
