Aire Hotel & Ancient Baths

Nice looking hotel, clean spacious rooms (we had junior suites) and great location next to a nice square. The roof terrace was a bonus and the breakfast was good. The detractors were mainly down to the design of the hotel. The breakfast area on the top floor is minuscule with only 5 or 6 very small tables and the buffet essentially in a cupboard, so while the breakfast selection was good it was very awkward negotiating among other guests. Although the hotel wasn’t busy there was very little space at breakfast so don’t expect to be able to sit together if you’re in a group. The design of the rooms would also put us off returning unfortunately, and none of this was evident from pictures online. If you value any sense of privacy (especially if not sharing the room with a partner) then you will have an issue with the bathrooms. Between the rooms we had, the one with the most privacy had a very finely frosted glass door behind the bed that did nothing once the light was turned on in the bathroom. In the worst room, the shower enclosure was completely exposed to the entire room with no frosting and the toilet behind a loose fitting frosted door. All completely unnecessary and avoidable design decisions that would put many people off (including our group had we known). Overall the hotel is more design over function. We mostly enjoyed our stay but unlikely to return due to the above.

Car parking garage is not same building where is hotel , driving to there garage is nightmare, you know what that mean, couldn’t find there garage almost 1hours.

Fantastic location. Great views from the rooftop terrace whilst having breakfast. Very quiet. Very helpful and friendly staff. Would absolutely stay here again.

The hotel staff were completely unhelpful to the point we felt unwelcome. Aire corporate should be quite concerned that their brand is being damaged by the staff at this location. Currently it’s a 1 star staff masquerading at a 4 star hotel. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Driving and parking in this part of town is an absolute nightmare and once you get to the property, the staff acts as if you’re intruding on them.

Very Dark decor, bit run down,

The hotel was lovely. Sitting on the rooftop looking over the Plaza was stunning. Loved the swimming pool. Booked the 90 min session in the ancient baths. The flotation pool was so relaxing. A few tweaks would make this place perfect - the shower in our room leaked right down the marble steps into the bedroom leaving it quite hazardous and there was limited space to hang towels etc. Woukd return for that beautiful view!

Great facility, just don't buy the breakfast. It is simply not worth it

We love AIRE spas and booked in for a 2 night stay with a spa treatment. The decor is lovely and the whole place smells nice. Staff were lovely and it’s in a great location, in walking distance of the main attractions in Almeria. Bed was massively and we slept pretty well. Our hotel booking included 1 visit to the spa thermal experience, but you need to book in advance (by email). Breakfast was okay - mainly pastries/breads and fruit with no hot options available. The pool area is fairly small, there are only 4 sun loungers (2 of which were broken so you can’t move the back into an elevated position) but the pool was nice and clean and the views were lovely. The room was large, although the layout takes a bit of getting used to as there is no privacy when you are on the shower/toilet! The walls of the toilet could have done with a scrub as I could see lots of stains/limescale marks. There were an overwhelming number of light switches, it took us a long time each night to get all the lights switched off as they had to be switched on/off in a specific order. Room 107 was a little loud as it is located over some steps which lead into the courtyard and voices carried.

Excellent hotel for one night stay in Almeira after landing. In Almeira airport and needing to chill before onnnward travel . Old town Almeira is very trad Spanish with some nice little tapas bars right by the hotel , the ancient cathedral and moorish fort just a short walk. Only thing that lets it down is no hotel restaurant but there is an excellent restaurant right next door , only thing that stops me giving it five stars is the breakfast which was very pricey for what you got. Very continental with no warm options not even a boiled egg which as a Brit is essential to me dso I chose not to have but as I say many small tapas bar options right next door. Roof terrace and swimming pool excellent place to chill in the evening with superb views of ancient city walls etc but a shame not a bar although the vending machine served ceveza and small bottles of wine all nicely chilled. All in all whenever flying into Almeira airport the regional hub I will stay here again. Actually spent two nights this time, on the way in and on the way out.

Hotel has great staff, and their spa services are the best

We stayed for 1 night on route to Granada and this is a beautiful hotel in a great location the staff were very efficient and polite. the room had had a queen size bed and we had a great nights sleep I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone if you find yourself in Almeria. The views were outstanding from the roof top terrace.

Lovely hotel, excellent service and very helpful. The only thing was building was very noisy and leave blower very early in the morning.

This property exceeded our expectations as far as the staff, the room, and the VIEW! We would definitely return. We took advantage of the ancient baths and massage option. I would skip the massage. Even when I asked for more pressure, it felt like someone was just gently rubbing way too much oil all over me. No massage involved unfortunately.

We want to start by acknowledging the efforts made by the staff and management of the hotel. Despite everything they were very professional and courteous. However we will not be returning nor recommend this hotel and here's why: Location: The hotel is very difficult to access and there is no designated area to load/unload baggages. Parking: This hotel has no parking. Instead you are invited to use a parking the next block that is expensive and not trivially accessible. Rooms: We had two rooms during our stay. The first one was not properly cleaned, and had a strong sewer smell. It was also very noisy. The second was cleaner and slightly better, but the bathroom door was glass which made privacy a challenge. Beds were ok. Construction: During our stay there was construction in the square adjacent to the hotel which resulted in constent noise for the duration of our stay from early in the morning to late at night. The hotel also ran out of water for most of a day. Pool: Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy the pool at all as it was closed until late our last night. Spa: The spa was a somewhat stressful experience, which is not what one wants. The Hamam had no added sent and a constant loud water flow, smelled like wet dog. The whirlpool was lukewarm. The cold plunge and salt pool were ok. The cleaning staff started coming in half way through our session and carelessly started doing their things with no consideration for the guests. Overall a terrifible experience

Great stay Great location

Great location with friendly staff. If you are looking for a relaxing time in the spa, this is also the place

Lovely hotel, baths and massage amazing. Small sunbathing area with warm plunge pool but had no problem getting a sunbed. Great views of the historic monuments from the terrace where you can relax with a drink. Ample good quality toiletries. Can't comment on the breakfast as I didn't take it. Very professional, friendly helpful staff. My 1st visit to Almeria, enjoyed it very much even though there's a lot of construction work in progress. Excellent shopping area. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. Easy walk from the hotel to the city and beach.

I enjoyed my stay but I almost rated the hotel a 4 due to internet service came and went. The room was a mini suite and had lots of room. I had the ability to have doors open to square although under construction. I did like how they used an old building and made it comfortable.

It's a nice hotel, but it's very dark in tge corrodoors and in our room which had a window, no balcony and the wi diw was largely blocked br stone columns. The city center public spaces are all being redone ans this includes the square in front of and access to the hotel. This was not explained before booking. Very poor in tetms of trust and relationship. Is this the hotels fault or Expedia's?Take your choice. Some fixtures flooring and accessories aer a bit loose and creeky. The toilet are is a bit lacking in privacy and the shower puts you on display from the bed, if you like that sort of thing.

A beautiful hotel with fabulous views of the hills and the Alcazabar from the breakfast terrace. Right in the heart of the old town . There’s a beautiful square outside which is currently being renovated so best ask the hotel when works will finish if that is likely to disturb your stay
