Having to Q and pay for beds each morning was a pain. Property is tired and half of adult pool closed for half of our stay owing to falling masonry from upper balconies. Room was lovely though.

The apartment wasn't horrible. It was DEPLORABLE! Plaster falling off ceiling hit on the head on our way in the door. Condescending guest book: \"empty garbage or pay 20 euros. But empty only noon-2 and 9p-11p! (Of course no garvage bags provided.) Enjoy the complex pool....pay for towels and a pool chair.....at the pool! We had pre-arranged parking in advance at unit at 15 euros a day....oh well no space too bad. Paid 30 euros a day around the corner. NOTHING EVEN CLOSE to any pictures provided on this website. Old blankets all over furniture with threat if removed! We are just one couple/2 persons but rented highest level \"Premium Plus\" 2 bedroom. Called right away on entry and told sinply by \"Vincemte\" that guest book was clear and that \"we are not responsible\", apparently for anything. WOW! Make sure if you ever reserve an apartment with them you demand full pics of your actual unit while you remain within your 24 hour cancel.period AND PRINT THEM ALL OUT! Once you read the guest book on entry you may also just drop dead: EXAMPLE \"its an old building and walls are very thin so please wear slippers only when there.\" TrIed to work safe and it wouldnt work with code provided in guest book. Was informed the code written was wrong...really? A NIGHTMARE from start to finish. Dont walk....run! Marbella is truly magical but if you have to stay here youre far better off staying at home. Even if home is Iraq.

Bit dated. Great location.

Very disappointing appearance on the landing to our room was covered in plastic & cardboard. Giving a very dirty appearance. This was because they were going to paint the walls. This didn’t happen during our week. The man who checked us in was less than helpful, when we asked if we had evening sun on our apartment he said he didn’t know. The directions to our room was vague. During our week there we had to redirect two different families. To make up for the lack of English they should have a simple A4 room lay out. We were waiting for our bins to be empty up to Wednesday so it would be collected by the cleaning staff. We spoke to the manager and we would get no room cleaning as we were only staying. He told us to bring the rubbish to bins outside the hotel. On tle plus SIDE. He gave us a change of towels and replaced rubbish bags. GREAT points, when we arrived on Sunday there was milk, water, tea & coffee for us. Theres a lovely view of the sea, there are ample tv stations, good free Wyfi also lots of books and videos to watch. Everything you need in the apartment you need for cleaning. Would we go again, YES

Overpriced and uncomfortable

The SKOL is an older property in Marbella but has a great location on the beach. Because it's older it has its charms but also needs upkeep. We selected a deluxe plus apartment with a sea view. We had a small slice of sea view but primarily looked out over the balconies of an adjacent building. Our unit had been \"modernized.\" The kitchen and bathroom were nice but the living room was finished with very uncomfortable furniture and our balcony had only flimsy plastic chairs with rusted metal stools and no table we could use as we saw across from us. It was not a comfortable place to \"hang out.\" The part that really bothered us however was the price. We paid much more than other renters in the building who had nicer units and longer stays. If I stayed here again, I would research other websites, primarily British, to get a better price and nicer unit or find a nicer complex near the SKOL.

Good location

The flat number 330 was great but my friend also booked in and had a disappointing experience as it wasn’t as advertised - not 2 proper bedrooms but one double bedroom and 2 very small singles with bunk beds. As you can’t see the exact flat you are renting through the website because an agency looks after many in the building be careful about the actual flat you are booking and speak to someone first if possible.

Nice hotel close to the beach

The location of the hotel is right on the beach. Accommodations are great. The hotel rooms have been remodelled, at least the one we stayed in. Owners were kind enough to leave at bottle of water and milk fir those that arrived later in the evening. Nice personal touch. Be prepared to pay for pool chairs and ocean chairs. The pool is not heated so it's really icy cold as is the ocean. That was the only downside.

best location in Marbella due to the fact it was the first complex built back in the day.. clean an tidy but quite frayed at edges due to age.. accomodations are 2* but you will pay 3* prices in high season due to its location, there are much better complexes for the same money locally, but they are way out of town and there's the rub..

Great chcharacter, great location

We stayed for 7nts in a 2 bed duplex apt with sea view. Our apartment was spotlessly clean and the views were fabulous over the pools and beach ahead. The position of the Skol is the best as you are straight onto a fantastic flat seafront with tapas bars and Spanish cafes and the harbour and beautiful old town a short walk away. We found nothing tacky about the resort and there is a good bus service to local towns such as Puerto banus. Our apartment like others is privately owned and let out so the room facilities were excellent, you have to pay for sunbeds by the pool but it is only 2 euros and puts a stop to those hogging beds with towels. Pool too cold for me in April but kids managed fine. Lovely holiday and will hopefully return.

Stunning hotel location. Our apartment was subjected to noise at night due to the Irish bar underneath us, but the location makes up for the late night noise.
The communal areas are a bit dated, but our apartment had all mod cons and was very comfortable even after the initial shock of arriving with the decorators still working on the apartment!

Promenade Location

Location of this place is perfect for visitors to Marbella. The building is tired and needs updating....lifts, reception. I think all the apartments that you can rent are privately owned and all vary in quality and cleanliness. We were there for 5 days and had no housekeeping at all. But there was a washing machine if you wanted fresh towels or bedding.

Behöver uppdatera info om parkering, hade bokat parkering för 14 dgr men fanns ingen parkering på hotellets område och vid incheckningen ryckte mannen bara på axlarna och sa att han inte visste, var inte behjälplig alls. Fanns ett parkeringshus på andra sidan gatan så hade varit lätt att visa oss. Byt ut överlakan mot påslakan, mer hygieniskt. Stenhårda sängar. Fanns ett café som var öppet 12-18 men ingen poolbar som står i infon. Trevligt poolområde och toppenläge vid strandpromenaden gjorde vistelsen mkt trevlig.

Man muss wissen, dass es sich bei den skol Apartments um private Wohnungen handelt, die an Urlauber vermietet werden.
Die Ausstattung jedes Apartment ist anders und von jedem Vermieter individuell gestaltet.
Das kann mal moderner oder eben auch mal älter sein.
Und man weiß nie, wer der direkte Wohnungsnachbar ist. Ob es sich hier um einen schwerhörigen Resident oder eine laute, feierwütige Gruppe handelt.
Die Wände sind doch recht dünn, so dass man alles hört und mitbekommt. Ob man will oder nicht.
Zudem ist wie bei Apartments keine Reinigung oder Bettwäschen- und Handtuchwechsel während des Aufenthalts vorgesehen.
Aber es sind Waschmaschinen (ohne Waschmittel) vorhanden. Und diese sollte man auch unbedingt benutzen für die doch recht dreckigen Strandtücher, die sich im Apartment befinden. Am besten eigene mitbringen.
Es gibt keine Spülmaschine. Daher sollte man auf jeden Fall vor dem Benutzen des vorhandenen Geschirrs dieses gründlich reinigen.
Die Skol Apartments bestechen durch die direkte Strandlage und die in der Nähe befindlichen Restaurants.

Varierande standard på lägenheter

Vi har bott på Skol 4-5 gånger genom åren och det har alltid varit bra. Just den här gången fick vi dock en lägenhet som inte höll den standard vi vant oss vid. Kylskåpet var trasigt (minusgrader oavsett inställning), diskmaskin som inte tog in vatten, samt inget varmvatten i en av duscharna. Dessutom julhelg så tydligen ingen möjlighet att få det fixat. Förhoppningsvis hade vi bara otur den här gången men kommer vi tillbaka kommer vi undersöka vilken specifik lägenhet vi tilldelas då standarden kan variera kraftigt. Övriga lägenheter som tilldelades vårt stora sällskap den här julresan var fina.

Alquile un apartamento para tres adultos. Cuando llegamos cual fue nuestra sorpresa cuando nos dieron uno para dos. Sólo tenía dos camas pequeñas y encima una era más alta que la otra, que al juntarlas quedaba un escalón. A los teléfonos que nos dieron no contestaban ni el Tato. En Hotels.com me dieron la opción de cancelar la reserva ¡¡¡¡Si ya estábamos allí !!!! El conserje de los apartamentos que él era un simple mediador y no sabía nada. Al final la primera noche durmiendo 3, en dos camas pequeñas que se separaban y encima como una era más alta que la otra, pues ahí mi hijo de 26 años con 1,80, allí estaba y luchando con el escalón y por qué no se separan las camas. Ya por fin el segundo día cuando por fin, pudimos hablar con ellos, nos trajeron una cama supletoria en un estudio pequeño, pero era mejor que ninguna cosa. La que gestionaba el apartamento que era lo que alquilé y aún enseñándole la reserva que era para tres adultos que a ella no le costaba. En vez de pedir disculpas, nos trató como de buitres y se presentó a cobrar la estancia sin avisar el día antes de irnos y lo quería en efectivo. Como no lo teníamos la verdad que de muy malos modos que si no la queremos pagar. Fue muy desagradable. Al final se lo pagamos con la tarjeta, aunque a regañadientes por su parte. En Hotels.com aún estamos esperando alguna explicación. Por lo demás genial.

Asuttava asunto.

Asunto merinäköalalla ? En myisi asuntoa tuolla nimella koska kurkkimalla näit meren parvekkeelta. Olohuoneen tuulettimesta tuli jotain mustaa likaa niin että aina kun sen laittoi päälle pöytä , lattia ja tuolit olivat sen peitossa. Parvekkeenovea ei pystynyt lukitsemaan joten se olisi hyvä korjata. Koko rakennuksessa oli remontti käynnissä ja pölyä oli joka paikka täynnä. Sijainti oli todella hyvä.
