This property should not be considered as hotel, pictures that they put on the website is totally deceiving, we could not stay in the so called hotel, due to poor location and condition, we had to rent another hotel for our vacation! And we lost $260 that we paid for 2 nights!
Just stay away from this location if you’re looking for a decent hotel!

Room from hell. Felt like I had slept on a brick. Turns out it was two doors and no middle in the bed . Ants in the bed. A very dirty old bathroom we didn’t use we just got out before the ants carried us out. With ten flights of stairs that were dangerously lit. Windows didn’t lock on one side of the room and the other they didn’t open. This was the first night of my honeymoon. This room ruined it. We just left . It was a terrible experience. Please don’t go there unless you have no other place to stay. I think sleeping under a tree or the beach would be better than this place.

non è mia abitudine fare commenti alle strutture, ma questa se l'è meritata. il personale e le recenti ristrutturazioni ci hanno provato ad aggiungere decoro, ma nonostante tutto è un posto dove al massimo si può dormire una notte di passaggio, sfido a starci più di un giorno in ferie. i locali, reception e camere, sembra che siano state ricavate da un negozio fronte strada e da una villetta a lato del negozio, non disturba ma di fatto alcune camere sono posizionate di fronte a una vetrina oscurata. il giardinetto all'interno della villetta, dove si vede la fontana nelle foto, è tutto rivestito di plastica, plastica sono le siepi sui muri, plastica è il tappeto di finta erba per terra, sembra di stare in un lego. la camera dove abbiamo pernottato noi era pulita ma aveva un odore persistente di umido, molto forte. a fronte del nostro appunto in reception ci è stato detto che avevano lo stesso problema molte camere. nella nostra stanza mancavano le abat jour, per cui se prima di dormire volevi prenderti un attimo per leggere o stavi con la luce sparata o come ho fatto io ho dovuto accendere la torcia del cellulare, infine nella nostra stanza la porta del bagno non si poteva chiudere, nel senso che rimaneva sempre mezza aperta perché mancava un pezzo del telaio della porta. Concludo facendo i complimenti al fotografo che ha messo le foto su questa pagina perché fa apparire il tutto molto più elegante di quanto non sia. le uniche scuse che accetterei sarebbero quelle del rimborso

I did not enjoy my stay at all. When I arrived at the hotel, there was no one at the front desk and had to wait approximately 20 minutes since the front desk went to run errand. Meanwhile, in the waiting area, there were mosquitoes because there was a garbage can full waiting to be thrown out. The bed in my room felt like it was going to sink and was on its last legs. No coffee maker or tea kettle in the room when I asked for one, they left a pot for me. The bathroom trash can was missing the lever and had to push down on a piece of metal that was sticking out. Overall, the condition of the place just felt old and uncomfortable.

We booked this place for the kitchenette. Which was basically non existent. We had to stay on the first floor. It was loud, there’s no elevator to what I assume are better options. The area was fine. The hotel is in transition.

First of all, the wifi did not work in my room, the staff were no help. The room overall was ok for the price, however, it should be noted that the mirror was cracked, the towels had stains on them. It’s a shame as the location was excellent. Probably wouldn’t stay again.

Never again!!!

THIS \"HOTEL\" deserves no more than 1.5 star. I put 3 stars over 5 for eco friendliness as they even keep towels with holes... Photos are not showing reality, windows, lighting is hard with extra cold strong lights, and totally white walls (excepts stains on them...), you could feel in a bad hospital room. Furnitures etc are super cheap. Staff is not friendly, not professional (when you put your hotel rooms on a website, you check information showed about it), nor flexible. I was not given the room that I order. Security issues as some electric cables are on the air... And that was supposed to be a deluxe...

Nice location, property left things to be desired

I was excited about booking this property based on its location and the pictures. The location was very good, but there were a few hiccups with ultimately impacted our stay.

Firstly, the hotel doesn’t have 24-7 reception, you should clarify beforehand. Unfortunately I didn’t and the only way to contact the hotel was to call (not able to WhatsApp at least on the messaging we got from them- though it seems WhatsApp would have worked). Luckily, the reception staff were very helpful and allowed us to leave our bags until check in later.

When we checked in, we settled into the room we were given which didn’t look like the pictures, seemed a little dirty and unlocked after (missing skirting boards, light switches not fully adherent to walls, bathroom cleanliness not ideal). Then when I used the sink, it was fully clogged. We had to contact reception since they had left and had to wait 30 min till they came back to assign another room. We were only in Marbella for the day so this was eating precious sunlight hours for us. The second room we were given was a bit smaller but reeked of smoke, so much so that when I left the room, my clothing smelled like smoke. So we had to change rooms again, we were then showed a much smaller room without a kitchenette and eventually were upgraded to a different building with a much more spacious room. While they tried to fix things after the fact satisfactorily, this all should have been checked beforehand rather than the hassle

Room for Improvement

The room itself was a good size and in a good position.
We thought that the traffic on the main road outside the apartment would keep us awake but we were wrong.
What did keep us awake was the sound of the TV next door at 4am. In the end I banged on the wall and the volume on the TV was lowered but you could still hear it.
I suppose that you can't blame the landlord for this
Mattress was not very comfortable

In an ideal place for Marbella town. Modern however quite small apartment , bed small and uncomfortable as 3/4 bed and one pillow each. One bath towel between us. Extras can be provided but at extra cost. Noise from street even with windows shut. No lift and we were on 3rd floor. Marble staircase beware when coming down final stairwell as no bannister or grab rail to hold onto.

Un engaño.

1. Las fotos no reflejan la realidad. Los muebles son viejos, el baño no tiene ventilación, la cocina ridícula...
2. Muy MUY ruidoso. Está ubicado en una avenida principal que no paran de pasar coches y gente. Lugar ventajas no están acondicionadas ni son de climalite por lo que se le muchísimo el ruido.
3. La cortina en la ventana que da al patio interior se ha caído y no hacen nada por arreglarla. Entra mucha luz y no se puede dormir.
4. Pone que hay 2 cajas de matrimonio pero es MENTIRA, tiene una de matrimonio de 135 y otra de cuerpo y medio. Anuncio engañoso.
5. Las camas MALÍÍSIMAS. El colchón muy fino y duro, si duermes de lado se te todo.
Además, apenas te mueves hacen un ruido horrible.
6. Solo había 1 edredón pero 2 camas... Wtf?
7. No había agua caliente en la ducha!!!!
8. El toallero se descolgó de la pared y casi me pisa un pie.
9. Baño muy estrecho sin estantes para poder apoyar el neceser.
10. La ducha llena de moho y humedades.
11. Las chicas de recepción majas pero nada resolutivas, y no más para atendemos... Sino comunicación por WhatsApp hasta el día del check out. Mis quejas ni las leyeron.

Un horror.

Exijo la devolución del dinero porque no pude descansar nada, el anuncio engañoso y la limpieza dejaba mucho que desear.

Otrevlig personal och smutsiga rum

Servicen var under kritik. De var oförskämda och otrevliga när vi frågade om hjälp. De städade inget och när vi bad om toalettpapper då vi bara fick 1 rulle fick vi vänta 1 dygn på detta. De anklagade oss dessutom för att inte ha betalat sista natten, vilket vi hade gjort, detta gjorde de på ett väldigt otrevligt sätt. Vi fick även sitta och vänta på dem i 40 min när vi skulle checka ut fast kl va innan 11 (receptionen var öppen 9-19 men de var aldrig i receptionen). Generellt var de bara otrevliga under hela vistelsen och rummen var ofräscha och mycket var trasigt och slitet.

¿Tres estrellas? Qué estafa!

El peor hotel en el que he estado. Sucio y ruidoso. Habitación \"doble\" de 8 m2. Cero mantenimiento. Todo el mobiliario se reduce a un ARMARIO de 2 hojas/2 cajones (1 hoja y un cajón no abren. El otro cajón no existe). Una MESITA DE NOCHE. Una SILLA. Cortina de ventana rota. BAÑO: Sin ventilación (ni natural ni forzada), plato de ducha sucio, raíles de mampara corredera aún mas sucios. La tapa del inodoro suelta. La tapa de la papelera no sube. La única percha de toallas se gira, y no sirve.

El hotel, fatal. No tenía ascensor y tenía una escalera bastante empinada con tramos en los que no había barandilla. Tenías que subir tu la maleta porque nadie te ayudaba. Además no estaba nada limpio y con aspecto de descuidado. Al baño le faltaba la tapa del inodoro, no tenía papel higiénico la puerta del baño estaba inchada, las sillas de la habitación peladas y sucias, la Tv no funcionaba, a los mandos de la Tv y del aire acondicionado les faltaban las tapas, la puerta del armario de la cocina estaba torcida y así varios desperfectos más.

I stayed here for 2 nights the location is so good and the rooms are very good and comfortable. But the bad side of this place is 1. If u want to arrive before the check just to drop ur bags don’t do it because there’s nobody there to take ur bags. 2. First day I was in one room The ac was not working and the wifi either when I told them this they didn’t do nothing. 3rd day I was in another room the smell that was coming out of the bathroom was awful. Over all the installations are good but it’s very deficient when it comes to customer service they’re missing a lot
