My first room was filthy and unsanitary (seminal fluids on accent pillow and duvet, hair all over the floor, blood on the wall), we went downstairs and asked for a refund but were told they would show us another room. The second room was arguably worse, several bugs, dried urine all over the floor, dead and live bugs in the bathtub. The front desk agent also let a strange man who had been following us into our room while we were waiting with hotels.com for a refund. They claimed the man said he was with us so they let him in. We were refused a refund but left the hotel and did not stay for our trip given all of the above. The hotel looks nothing like the photos, very dated and old. The parking is in the basement of the building and has 4-5 spots with no windows or lights and a very narrow entryway that you can only fit a small car. A spotlight shines on you by motion sensor. There were cockroaches and when I made a comment to the front desk agent she said “yes, all of Marbella have them”. Do not stay here if you can avoid it

Great location, very close to beach and front line shops, bars and restaurants and also close to the Main Street and old town. Very comfortable accommodation with added benefit of kitchenette with microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge etc. Very clean and staff friendly. The pool is small but adequate and right temperature (in June). No problem getting sun lounger as many guests on the beach. Have stayed here probably about 10 times over the last ten years and will not want to stay anywhere else. It also has a very small car park for quests. A great find.

The images were quite misleading. The room and bathroom were not like any of the pictures shown. The pool was very small. It was all very out dated. On a positive note, the aircon in the bedroom was very good. Beds were comfy and the location was great for the beach -5 mins walk, Marbella old town-10 mins walk and well worth it and fabulous bars and restaurants in the area were plentiful.

A comfortable hotel where I felt at home. Great location as it is situated within easy walking distance between the beach and the main high street. The area was fairly quiet other than a little

Very central, lovely staff, only downside was a school and paddle board courts behind which could be noisy in the early mornings but we got used to it after a couple of days.

This is a great hotel where its greatest asset is its location. The beach is across the street and there are shops and restaurants everywhere. The daytime reception host seemed a bit off. At one point I’d come down to ask a question and there were already three people in line and I waited while he was talking to the person I believe taking the next shift right in front of everyone. Speaking very loudly and for five minutes all they did was talk to each other. With a line of people you should be devoting all your attention to the people in the line and then when you have no line you can take care of your own business. He made several errors with our room, but eventually straightened everything out. Overall, it’s a good hotel and the other people work in the reception desk were very nice and friendly.

Balcony overlooked paddle courts. Didn't need the aircon. Room needs an upgrade, ie painting, bidet cracked, flooring damaged and tiles missing on the balcony. But good size, clean and comfortable.

The room (1 bed apartment) was very spacious and clean, I couldnt believe how big it was. And the kitchen was well equipped. The location was fantastic and I didnt use the bar but it looked like it had a good offering. My only complaint was the cleaners werent as discrete as they could have been and i felt like they'd gone through my things everyday. But i would definitely stay there again
