Selve hotellet, bygget er litt gammelt, litt slitt. Men personalet er utmerket, og prøver å møte dine ønsker. Gitt utgangspunkt

Great, good value for money, exceeded expectations.
Pros:

This hotel is great value for money. Booked it as it was perfectly located in the old town. We were presently surprised with the hotel on arrival. Staff were very friendly and accomadating. The room was very comfortable, and very spacious for two. Also had a lovely balcony which got lots of sun in the evening. We were there for a quiet, relaxing holiday and the hotel was perfect for this. The pool was great, lots of sun loungers, and the hotel bar is perfect for a coffee or a poolside drink.

Marbella stay
Pros:

Great location close to promenade. However right beside padel courts and a local school so a bit noisy at times. Room was a good size. There's a nice courtyard at the back and a small pool which unfortunately is shaded most of the afternoon.

Cons:

Was dated, needs some modernising. Bathroom very tight, toilet is too close to the sink. Bath is slippy getting in and out of as no separate shower and not non slip. No tiles in bathroom only grey paint everywhere. No coffee machine only a kettle and coffee sachets. No water either in room or water machines in corridors. Some very noisy people came in after 5am making a lot of noise in the corridor laughing and talking very loudly. Carpark ia very small and tight for parking.
