This hotel doesn’t have a 24/7 front desk. The last time you can check in is 11:30pm. Our train was cancelled from Seville so we had to take the next one. We made it at 11pm to the hotel but it was nerve wrecking because I worried about missing the check in deadline. After you check in the give you a key which you then can use to come in into the building whenever you want. Nothing wrong per se but I personally don’t prefer that layer of complexity. So just something to be aware of if that’s not your cup of tea either. Besides that, the location was phenomenal…literally in the middle of the main Calle Larios.

Very clean and comfortable room. The front desk was very nice and communicated clearly. You do need to walk to the destination when dropped off but it’s not hard to find with GPS. Lots of shops nearby and centrally located in the old town. No airport shuttle but there is a public bus location nearby with frequent routes to the airport. Taxis/ubers are everywhere

The apartment itself was nicely designed and well located, which makes this experience even more disappointing.

On our first night, from around 11:30 PM until approximately 1:30 AM or later, there was continuous noise directly outside our room: repeated door slamming, loud conversations, and a verbal confrontation in the corridor. Reception was already closed, so I had to call the emergency number provided by the property. Although someone was sent, the disturbance continued and we were unable to sleep properly.

What disappointed me most was not only the incident itself, but the way the complaint was handled afterward. After requesting compensation for the severely disrupted first night, management minimized the situation, described the request as “nonsense,” and even accused me of “blackmail” for mentioning that unresolved experiences may be reflected in reviews.

I understand that noise issues can happen anywhere. However, professional handling of guest concerns matters just as much as the incident itself, and unfortunately that was lacking here.

The location was very convenient. Front desk staff were very helpful. Staff turned off the air conditioning when they serviced the room. No wash cloths provided. Wouldn't provide extra towels stating it was policy. No facial tissues provided. Limited toilet paper. The ascetics were four star quality. But, the \"Policy\" to provide the bare minimum was very disappointing; more like 2.5 star quality. We had to go out and purchase wash cloths and Kleenex (facial tissues).

We experienced a 16+ hour power outage during our stay at DeBambu Hotel in Málaga. When the power went out, we were told to wait until the next day— which is absolutely unacceptable. No lights, no fridge, no phone charging, no AC, etc. We had cheeses and other food in the fridge, which all spoiled. The hotel promised a full refund (we have written proof) but pushed us to Expedia. They’ve since ignored all refund requests, and now Expedia is considering cancelling the claim due to no response from the hotel. This is a clear failure in service and responsibility. We will be escalating this further. DO NOT STAY HERE.

We entered the Apartment to check in with the front desk, to find that the Elevator was not working. The front desk person carried our three suitcases up three flights of stairs. We then entered our Apartment to find the entire Apartment was full of cigarette odor, I couldn’t even breathe! They are suppose to be non-smoking Apartments, another words it is prohibited to smoke in any of the units. They were full and could not move us to another apartment. We called Hotels.com and they were going to relocate us to another Apartment, but it was farther away from the City Center. We finally after much delay, left the Apartment so they could clean it again. We also had to wait for the elevator to be fixed. We left and returned, it still smelled like cigarette! They offered us no discount or compensation for the inconvenience. I would not recommend staying here!

Lovely property but our stay was spoiled. Charged 2€ per locker for the cases storage. Went to retrieve cases and found our lockers had been opened and cases gone.We had a flight to catch and there was no one at reception. I phoned the company but insisted Boone would come to reception before 8.30 - it was actually nearly 8.45. The person had no idea where our cases were and refused to explain why our lockers had been opened. My husband eventually retrieved the cases in the office.
I use a wheelchair and always try to plan ahead with extra time. Needless to say this bizarre action of stealing our cases was verte stressful for me

We had a nightmare of a check-in. We let them know we were arriving after midnight. They won't send information about the lock boxes for keys until after 11 PM. I had asked them to send it earlier, as we had a late flight and wouldn't have easy WiFi access. I had reserved 2 rooms. They made it into 2 separate reservations. I got the code for one lockbox, which only had a key for one room. They showed me in the morning that they had send the information for the second one, but it didn't arrive before we tried to check into the hotel. I had to call (nighttime phone service who had trouble understanding the problem). That call lasted 20 minutes before she got the information straight. I'm sure I'll have quite a large overseas phone bill. The rooms were OK but don't have AC, so were hot and stuffy.

Great location but could do better.

Firstly the location is excellent and even although we were on the first floor we were not bothered at all by the noise from the street due to the excellent sound insulation. However there was noise from the inside of the building which woke us up at 635am. The studio apt had everything needed. However be aware, not a 24 hour reception and wasnt overly helpful. My overall view is that it wasnt really worth the price paid and there are probably better apts for the price or more reasonably priced.

I loved this place. It's right in the heart of the historic quarter, it's spotlessly clean, and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

It was just my husband and me, but for reasons too complicated to explain here, we had the apartment with sleeping room for 6. Oftentimes, places might advertise that there's room for 6, but it would be cramped. Not this place. Plenty of space, a well-equipped kitchen and two full bathrooms. Two of the twin beds are in the livingroom, but it would still feel spacious, i think.

The apartment was comfortable and the wifi worked well throughout my stay. Housekeeping did a great job and had the apartment clean by 11.00 am every morning. The bathroom was a challenge. It has the \"open\" shower design so that the entire bathroom became a swimming pool after the shower. The shower head and mount was also broken so that water pressure wasn't very good. It would have been nice to have at least one English channel on TV but I couldn't find one. Overall a good choice as the location is great.

Debambu studio - needs an upgrade

I booked this studio apartment through Hotels.com on the basis that it was rated 9.0 Superb. I can assure it was nowhere near that. It was just OK and was closer to 6.5. The room itself was average and a bit tired and the twin beds were both wobbly. The kitchen was poorly equipped. It had 2 cups, 2 plates, 2 saucers etc. Ok it was an apartment for 2 people but what if wanted to bring friends in for a cup of tea or glass of wine? There was only a 2 ring hob, no oven, and a rusty old microwave. That isn’t “well equipped” in my opinion. The bathroom was also tired with cracked floor tiles and a shower that fell off the wall and the shower head itself needs replaced. I couldn’t get the “satellite TV” to work.
When I pointed these faults out to reception when checking out I was advised these things maybe could’ve been sorted out if we had advised them. While this may be true it kind of misses the point. It shouldn’t be up to the customer to point these things out. Surely whoever makes the beds must realise there is a problem with them. Likewise the person who cleans the showers. Or the person who cleans the cracked floor tiles. And why not have instructions in the apartment on how to access the satellite TV. The owners have also decided that they will only supply 2 cups, 2 plates etc.
This was a last minute booking that I regretted as soon as I walked in.
On the plus side reception was helpful and efficient and the location was excellent.

Antonio was very helpful with suggestions and assistance
Antonio had ordered us a taxi to leave early in the morning and it did not show up. If he orders one get company name and number so you can call yourself if they don’t show up. We had to walk to a Main Street to find one. Not the hotel’s fault so don’t let it be the reason you don’t stay.
