Pros:

The location near the center and old town.

Cons:

The window could not be opened totally and it did not have mosquito net at the window. There was a spider in the room. We were waken up in the morning by hammering noise coming from the stores along the street.

Excellent Location • Personalised Service • Hidden Gem
Pros:

Having travelled extensively and with high standards when it comes to accommodation, I can confidently say that Obal Hotel was one of the most pleasant surprises I have experienced.
The hotel is perfectly located, ideally positioned between Marbella’s beautiful beach and the charming Old Town. The property is modern, welcoming, exceptionally comfortable, and thoughtfully designed.
The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, and delicious food throughout our stay. The rooms and facilities are new, spotless, and very comfortable. The high-quality amenities were an unexpected and delightful touch.
In fact, I had booked a luxury resort for the second part of our holiday, but after experiencing Obal Hotel, I regretted leaving and even tried to cancel the resort reservation in order to return. Unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked.
A special mention must go to Manager Gabrielli and the entire team, who provide genuinely personalised service and make guests feel truly valued.
For travellers seeking quality, comfort, excellent service, and an outstanding location, Obal Hotel is a hidden oasis in Marbella. I would return without hesitation and highly recommend it.

A clean, functional and well-located hotel on the edge of Marbella’s old town, with lovely staff and excellent local adv
Pros:

Óbal Hotel Marbella is ideally located on the main street, right at the edge of Marbella’s beautiful old town, making it a great base for exploring the local area. The hotel itself is clean, functional and comfortable, with everything needed for a short stay.
The staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout our visit. A special mention must go to Sara on reception, who gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to see, along with helpful local information generally.
A very convenient and welcoming hotel for anyone wanting to enjoy Marbella and the old town.

A great 4 star hotel in fantastic location
Pros:

My sister & I had a lovely 5 night stay. A true 4star hotel in great location. Particular shout out to Jeerah on reception who was fantastic. Room was clean modern & big with fantastic walk in shower & plentiful hot water at a great pressure. Air-con also very efficient. It was at times noisy during our stay but understandable when there was a Fiesta at the park during our stay but no late night noise. Great hotel for those wanting a break near the sea but with city vibes.

My sister and I loved our 5 night stay and would highly recommend it. We finally found a true 4 star hotel at last 👍
Pros:

Great location, excellent customer service from all staff (particular shout out to Jearah sorry if that’s not correct spelling) very clean and comfortable and lovely modern decor. The room was very spacious and the bathroom amazing with fantastic walk in shower. Water pressure really good and always hot and the air conditioner exceptionally good.

Cons:

Not much to dislike but would suggest a magnifying mirror in the bathroom and more choice of breakfast cereals. Perhaps some light music in the courtyard at breakfast would be a nice addition too.
