Nous avons aime l’hôtel. Elle est bien située, à seulement quelques pas de la gare de train. Elle est propre. Nous avons trouvé pratique d’avoir le frigo, plaque de cuisson, toaster et un très grand lit avec un immense balcon avec vue sur mer.

Decent for price

Cheap and cheerful, Couple of things to bear in mind to improve Parking is extra 10 euro a night which wasnt stated before hand and hard to find the parking aswell. Only 1 pillow offered in the room per person and walls paper thin. Except for that was clean

Disappointing

We booked for 2 nights and unfortunately the hotel did not live up to our expectations. We felt like we were staying in a rest home for the elderly. No entertainment whatsoever, no lunch or evening meals so had to eat out each night and not easy finding a place unless you are driving. The bar shuts at 7 i think , so boring nothing to do unless you go out . I normally like to stay in the hotel and enjoy the experience but unfortunately not. Whilst a kettle etc; was provided this was the first hotel ive stayed in that doesn't provide coffee / tea of some sort. On the plus side the staff are lovely very friendly, the room was ok but noisy first thing as we were directly above the reception/ dining area. Sorry will not be going back again .

The reception was good staff helpful, our room was up in the lift, ok with wheelchair, lots of space in the room, only let down was the bath with no grab rails, my husband couldn't climb into it, luckily we only stayed 1 night, i did mention it at check in no shower only rooms available. Liked the idea of a mini kitchenette. A nice walk down to the restaurants, but steep walking back up, good job my husband had his mobility scooter.

Criterio de estrellas equivocado

La habitacion no solo estaba muy sucia de polvo, hormigas y otros bichos. Los trenes de la estacion se oian como si pasaran por medio de la habitacion. Intimidad 0 con las cortinas abiertas. Y el desayuno muy escueto y malo. Aparte de la suciedad faltaba mucho mantenimiento, la bañera estaba rodeada de moho y oxido.

Boendet har en serviceinriktad personal! Som arbetar lösningsfokuserad, om det är så att någonting händer under vistelsen. De har ett gott bemötande, samt rummen är inrett med lugna färger. Vilket gör att man sover gott! Rekommenderas varmt!
Utsikten ifrån balkongen när nattens lugn kommer.
Framsidan som lyser när man kommer om kvällen med tåget.
NÄRA tåget är perfekt!
Ifrån baren kan man beställa allt ifrån vanligt kaffe till detta goda.
Ifrån utsikten ifrån rummet.
Tyst och lugnt så man sover gott.

Hyggeligt hotel.. men i meget lille by uden noget

Hyggeligt lille hotel beliggende lige op af togbanen så det er super nemt at komme dertil. Når det er sagt, så er selve beliggenheden super kedelig. Det er en lille bitte by uden noget som helst udover et supermarked og 3 restauranter og en grillbar. Hele området omkring appelsintorvet (ca. 2 km. derfra) var under renovering så alle restauranter i det område var lukket. De restauranter der er i nærheden er udmærkede men ikke noget særligt og prisniveauet er langt over det man ser i nabobyerne, Torremolinos og Fuengirola. Til sammenligning for priser kan nævnes min favorit ret Grilled Sole (Grillet søtunge) Som kostede Euro 28 i byen men som kostede mellem 14 - 17 euro i nabobyerne. En busbillet til nabobyerne (ml. 7-10 km.) koster 0,59 Euro (med buskort som kan købes i alle tobaks kiosker) og her er udvalget af restauranter langt større og vi kørte til en af disse byer efter 2 dage og spiste.
