Good stay
A very nice stay however a couple of disappointments.
On the facilities it says parking available. This is not the case, there is public parking nearby. I was expecting valet parking with a concessional rate. Needs to be clearer prior to arrival.
Also only one bath towel in bathroom. Had to ask multiple times for second towel.
Otherwise a nice stay.
Very central

Perfect in every way
This hotel was outstanding in every way. Starting with the location, it is across the street from a beautiful small park with fountains and gorgeous ceramic benches. Beyond that is the Mediterranean. Just behind the hotel starts the Old Town. It has to be the best location in Marbella. Further the hotel lobby was lovely, Zen like and the staff went out of their way to be helpful. The room is just as lovely with every amenity and more that you would expect from a 4 star hotel.

Fitted the bill in every way.
Fantastic location - stone throw to shopping and restaurants and beach , clean, stylish , lovely roof top bar with pool and sunbeds. Only downside for us was breakfast only until 10am which with time difference seemed early on holiday and they are strict with late comers!

Hotel location excellent, old town block behind hotel and goes on for streets. Lots of shopping and restaurants in the area. Cross the street and walk to the beach. Lots of great restaurants. The only downside was our room was on the 3rd floor balcony on side street with a small view towards the park and the noise from the side street was intense every night. Also garbage collection was loud. Bed and pillows comfy, room clean. Sonia and Salvador from the front desk were excellent! Parking 2 mins from hotel for 20 euros/day. Buffet breakfast very good with great park views.

Staff were amazing, so clean and close to everything you would want to see in Marbella. Beach towels provided and on our last day had use of a shower room as our flight was at 11.50pm so meant we could spend our last day at the beach. Breakfast was superb and plenty of choices. Highly recommend

The staff were lovely and accommodating but the hotel had a terrible smell like sewage especially in the main foyer, common areas,
the bathroom had hair over the shower wall before we even got to use the bathroom
The room was a bit small, but it had great air conditioning & was in an excellent position nearly across the road from the beach which was a terrible beach, and next to the old town

Great property.
Staff are very considerate.
It’s so close to the beach and many eating out areas.
I was just disappointed with the size of the pool. It’s so narrow only one person can swim in that pool anytime.
The staff were so understanding Expedia has made a mistake on my booking which would have cost me but they corrected it by giving me a discount and not charging me the full price.

The location of this hotel is brilliant! You are right in the centre of things but it’s an oasis of calm from the moment you walk through the doors up to the roof top bar! Can’t fault it!
