Excellent hotel in the heart of Marbella. Walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Buses also outside the hotel. Small rooftop pool and bathing area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious and very clean. While hotel was also spotless. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a central location.

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.

Brilliant hotel in a great location. The room was large and had everything we needed including air conditioning. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The Sky Bar was fab and did lovely cocktails. There was a small gym with modern equipment. It’s ideally located for the beach (about a five minute walk) and right next to the old town and plenty of restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend and would like to go back there in the future.

The location is central a couple minutes walk to Marbella beach and to Plaza de Los Naranjos. The rooms are spacious, modern, the service is great and have a refrigerator, coffee/tea maker in the room. Parking can be a problem, as hotel has only 20 spots as first come first served basis, so call to book your spot. The staff and the breakfast were great.

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.
