excellent
Pros:

Location of the hotel is excellent, just few metres to the old town. There are several small supermarkets nearby. It is easy to reach beach and bus station on foot. There is no breakfast in a hotel, but it was no problem for us. The view from the window of our room was wonderful - straight to the tower and walls of Moorish citadel.

Atención y ubicación perfectas.
Pros:

Llegué antes de la hora prevista. Me ofrecieron entrar si la habitación estaba preparada y así era por lo que pude dejar mi maleta y subir directamente lo que es de agradecer. Me vino de "perlas" para ponerme más cómodo después del viaje. Las vistas desde la habitación son inigualables.

Cons:

Tenía que haber pedido cama doble. No duermo bien en las pequeñas.

Hotel agradable. Buenas opción
Pros:

Es un hotel modesto pero la atención, el tamaño de la habitación, el desayuno y la ubicación me parece que son muy aceptables.
Es la segunda vez que me alojo ahí y si tengo que hacer una nueva escapada a Marbella será mi primera opción de nuevo.

Cons:

Noté algo de ruido por la tarde en el interior del hotel y también desde la calle pero no tan molesto como para impedir el descanso.

Jestem zachwycona lokalizacją i obsługą w tym hotelu! Bardzo pomocny właściciel, któremu zależy na komforcie gości.
Pros:

Lokalizacja absolutnie topowa!!

Cons:

Nie było czegoś co mi się nie podobalo, wybór rzeczy na śniadanie mógłby być lepszy ale lokalizacja i obsługa wynagradzają wszystko!

Family Ran Hotel With Immense Lack Of Customer Service And Updates
Pros:

In total honesty, the location, perhaps? However, even then, only somewhat. The hotel is at the very top of a steep hill. Not for everyone. Furthermore, their are an ample amount of other fantastic hotels and hostals that actually know how to run their establishment unlike Don Alfredo. The issue here is that it is family run. Therefore, their sadly is an imense lack of seriousness when it comes to customer service. It is not taken seriously at all.

Cons:

REVIEW from SATURDAY JULY 12 2025 OF DON ALFREDO HOTEL OLD MARBELLA SPAIN
IN GENERAL:
- flimsy air condition system
- lack of updates, dated
- late check in, not respected
- weak breakfast
- location situated at TOP of hill, not ideal for all ages
- beyond rude staff

There are A TON of hotels in Marbella, Old Marbella. This one however is to be AVOIDED. Horrible experience. Unfriendly staff. I hate to admit this but truly zero customer service at this hotel.

DETAILS :
Family run hotel. It is clear that the daughter of Juan, the owner, dislikes her life. She is beyond rude, grumpy, and totally unwelcoming. She even yelled at me for getting my luggage that were held in a public space next to the reception. The daughter then proceeded to yell and talk about my mother and I in spanish in the next room to her father, Juan.
In general, after spending some time in Marbella, a lot of locals in Marbella / old Marbella make it very obvious that they are annoyed of tourists, especially tourists who do not speak fluent Spanish, even if tourists are respectful, and try to speak spanish, it is clear that they are completely annoyed in general. That said, we have stayed at 2 other hotels and had a fantastic experience (Old Marbella Hotel & A hotel on Calle San Ramon).
Just be advised that this hotel is a huge no even if breakfast included (a piece of toast and jam with a boiled egg is all they offered). Your decision to make in the end. Simply keep in mind as to what to expect if you choose to book at DON ALFREDO HOTEL in OLD MARBELLA, SPAIN.
