Séjour agréable grâce à la propreté et au personnel accueillant, malgré un mobilier vieillot.
Pros:

Le personnel à l’accueil parlait français et était très agréable. À notre arrivée, on nous a remis un ticket donnant droit à deux boissons gratuites au bar.

Cons:

L’endroit était propre, mais les installations de la kitchenette étaient très usées. Les coussins étaient décolorés. Même si tout était propre, l’ensemble paraissait vieillot.

Concernant le parking, nous sommes entrés dans celui qui ne compte que neuf places. En revanche, pour en sortir la voiture, ce fut un véritable enfer tant l’espace est étroit. Si nous l’avions su à l’avance, nous ne nous y serions jamais garés.

Wonderful holiday in Marbella
Pros:

The hotel is perfectly situated very close to the beach and restaurants and shoppingstreet nearby. A fine balcony fro where you can follow local life in the street and catch a glimpse of the sea.
We were lucky to be upgraded to the topfloor where you have the afternoon sun a little longer

Cons:

The room and bathroon needs refurbishing, most things are rather warn down. The kitchen things were all very greasy when we arrived, and it would we nice with more cups, glasses, cutlery and a bread knife.

Pros:

Зручне розташування у самісінькому центрі. Смачний сніданок, привітливий персонал, рецепція 24/7.

Cons:

Паркінг дійсно тісний. Нас попередили, що паркінг може бути легким випробуванням водійських навичок. Але маючи зайві 3 хвилини і трохи впевненості, припаркуватися, заїхати або виїхати, можливо. Душова кабіна давно потребує оновлення і косметичного ремонту.

Super Preis Leistung, tolle Lage
Pros:

Tolles Preis Leistungs Verhältnis. Große Zimmer, nicht super modern, aber völlig in Ordnung und sauber. Sogar mit Balkon und seitlichem Meerblick. In die Alstadt 400m, Restaurants um die Ecke an der Promenade

Cons:

Das Bad könnte ein Update vertragen, ist aber auch sauber gewesen
