Benalmádena hotellia

Plussat: Outstanding buffet- many choices including gluten free, sweets, salmon, variety of cheeses, meats, breads, fresh fruit, cereals. Also hot foods, quiches, potatoes, eggs, crepes. You name it, they had it. Staff bent over backwards to make sure we had everything needed.

Miinukset: Nothing. Perfection.

Plussat: Staff exceptionally friendly. Beds very comfortable. Food excellent

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Kaikki oli hyvää.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Proximity to the beach

Plussat: Beautiful boutique hotel overlooking the beach and promenade. The staff are wonderful, friendly yet professional. It's a small hotel. We went with our two kids who loved it but don't expect lots of facilities, it's a small pool but they enjoyed it as it was like having a private pool! The facilities are all around ie. down on the beach, along the promenade, 10 minute walk to the Aquarium which is fab, the cable cars, shops, cafes, all very buzzy around the hotel. A small touch of luxury amidst the beachfront!

Miinukset: The only thing that worried me was our room, which was a duplex which is great on one hand, as lots of room, but the stairs are marble and quite open, I was worried with kids up and down. I wasn't keen on letting my 9 year old sleep upstairs in case she tried to use the stairs in the night etc. I would have preferred a flat room on one level. It was very modern and lovely but the stairs were not good for kids or older people.

Plussat: Upscale. Great staff. Brunch is excellent. Perfect location along the beach front. Access to fitness club across the street.

Miinukset: Touted in some reviews as great for kids, but facilities cater to adults and there are no special facilities or programs for kids.

Plussat: Jos on menossa Malagaan päin,ottakaa tämä hotelli.ette kadu

Plussat: We have stayed at this hotel before which is in a good location for various amenities. The hotel is excellent overall and we hope to return again in the future.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A good location in Pueblo Benalmadena. On street parking.

Miinukset: I just loved this accommodation. The room was immaculate with lovely little touches. A tea tray left outside our door each morning... The breakfast which is 8.5 euros each is by far the best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel. Homemade yoghurt, freshly squeezed orange juice and a selection of hot dishes served to perfection. There was a selection of fresh fruit - raspberries, strawberries, cherries, figs pineapple to name but a few. Rosa berself is a delight. I would thoroughly recommend this little gem of a place....

Plussat: Sijainti viihtyisässä Benalmadena Pueblossa: perinteinen ”valkoinen kylä” vuoren rinteessä. Majoituksemme oli erillisessä loft-asunnossa (yläkerta) pienen matkan päässä varsinaisesta hotellista. Vuoteet olivat aivan erinomaiset, riittävän leveät ja pehmeät olematta silti löysät - melkein kuin kotona olisi nukkunut.

Miinukset: Ajankohdan (helmikuu) huomioiden lämpöpumppu olisi voinut olla jonkin aikaa päällä ennen saapumistamme. Nyt asunnossa oli pitkään viileää saapumisemme jälkeen. Keittiön varustus oli todella niukka: koko ajan sai olla tiskaamassa, kun välineistö oli niin tarkkaan laskettu kahdella hengelle. Kun poikamme vieraili aterioimassa luonamme, välineitä ei oikein riittänyt edes kolmelle. Keittiössä oli kyllä monitoimiuuni, mutta ei ohjekirjaa(!?) joten ohjeita piti hakea netistä merkin ja mallin perusteella. Positiivisena mainintansa kerrottakoon, että törkyinen vedenkeitin vaihdettiin pyynnöstämme todella nopeasti. Suihkutilassa olisi voinut olla kumilasta veden pyyhkimistä varten.

Plussat: Great little value for money hotel!

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: Ihanan idyllinen pieni kaunis hotelli. Todella puhdasta ja kaikin puolin siistiä. Hyvä sänky. Tyynyt vähän latteat. Merinäköala oli miellyttävä, vaikkei sijainti ole aivan rannalla. Henkilökunta oli miellyttävää, asiallista ja huomioonottavia. Aamupala oli oikein hyvä ja pöydistä tultiin ottamaan lämpimät ruoka tilaukset. Suosittelen ehdottomasti pariskunnille.

Plussat: Wonderful staff and very clean property.

Plussat: Great service and very friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Nice clean hotel with friendly staff.

Miinukset: Street parking only so difficult to get a space at times.

Plussat: Very well situated in the heart of town although you wouldn't think it as you get very little traffic or other noise. Rooms are immaculately cleaned EVERY day as are the common areas. Breakfast is fantastic & the staff couldn't be more accommodating with choice & range. In our view the best hotel in town.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing

Plussat: Fantastic helpful staff & excellent accommodation & breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing it was excellent,

Plussat: small, well run hotel. The room was bright and clean with extra's like a fridge with essentials like water and snacks.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The hotel staff and facilities were top class. Great location close to good restaurants.

Miinukset: Everything was excellent.

Plussat: Magical location

Miinukset: Breakfast uninspiring

Plussat: We loved everything about this hotel. Perfect for anyone looking for relaxation. Situated in the beautiful Benalmedena Pueblo. Lots of Costa style holiday within 10 mins drive of the hotel. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Leo who served up our evening meals and Catrina who made our afternoon cocktails. Clean, comfortable, brilliant breakfast and restaurant. We also loved the spa. A fantastic massage given by Barbara. Thank you to the lovely family, was the perfect holiday.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was fantastic.

Plussat: We are frequent visitors and the hotel delivers every time, nice people , great food, comfortable rooms , central location with stunning views and yet close to local bars / amenities

Miinukset: Nothing to say here

Plussat: Superb hotel in the mountains

Miinukset: Very friendly staff. Location perfect. Great value for money

Plussat: Perfect location.

Plussat: Amazing facility and beautifully designed, really Spanish charm, breakfast was amazing and plenty of choices all fresh every morning!

Plussat: Central location, good value parking, lovely pool and solarium with spectacular views. Very good breakfast and good value cocktails during happy hour. Stylish room with lovely views of the garden and coast.

Miinukset: The room was dusty and lacked bidet towels.

Plussat: Great range to choose from

Plussat: Breakfast pool area room overlooking the beach space on the balcony

Plussat: Fantastic location. We had front sea view and view was fabulous. From the moment we arrived we found the staff super friendly. Breakfast was excellent with great variety and freshness. No bother to get a sun bed at any time of day and easy access to beach. Would definitely return!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The bedrooms were very comfortable, cleaned daily & the view was fabulous.

Miinukset: The communal areas were dirty. The pool area was not cleaned & tidied daily, glasses & food left from the previous day and the tiles were dirty. The restaurant was not cleaned & on our last day the maids were mopping the floor from the previous evening as we ate our breakfast. The food was only adequate.

Plussat: Good modern hotel . Great location walk out back door to beach and prom and then marina

Miinukset: Evening food could have been better. Lunchtime pool bar service for food could have been better

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: There was convenient and secure parking (at extra cost ). The reception and bar staff were extremely polite and helpful. The room was excellent, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was very tasty and there was an excellent choice. We would have loved to have stayed longer but it was just for one night.

Miinukset: Benalmadena wouldn't be my favourite place but the hotel was exceptional.

Plussat: Hyvä, maukas ruoka, paljon vaihtoehtoja ja kauniisti esillä. Hyvät vuoteet ja vuodevaatteet, samoin parveketuolit. Upea kattoterassi. Mukavaa iltaohjelmaa. Loistava sijainti, bussipysäkit vieressä. Nettiyhteys toimi hyvin. Miellyttävä ilmapiiri.

Miinukset: Kolkko ruokasali. Metalliset, kylmät ja kovat kolisevat tuolit. Harva haluaa syödä illallista korkeilla jakkaroilla istuen. " Pehmeitä paikkoja" oli ruokasalissa liian vähän. Yöpöydät kovin pienet.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli hieno. Palvelu toimi. Testasin...:)

Miinukset: Tyynyistä en pitänyt.

Plussat: Fab Evening Dance shows and reception staff is very helpful. Hugo And Anne are very customer friendly

Miinukset: No drink included in half board supper. Atleast a jug of water or cordial can be on buffet.

Plussat: Fantastic staff,great service,perfect location and delicious breakfast.

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä. Olimme varanneet huoneiston, vesivahingon vuoksi siirryimme 7 kerroksen hioneeseen joka oli itseasiassa hyvä muutos.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli hieman suppea. Samaa huonolaatuista tuokavalinoimaa aamust toiseen.

Plussat: Load's of pools , Entertainment till' late , Casino , Bar till late , easy taxi facilities.

Miinukset: there's no beach side at the back of the hotel due to massive rock's but not a major problem.

Plussat: Erittäin siisti hotelli. Hyvät tilavat huoneet. Mukavat ulkoalueet ja kauppakin lähellä. Aamiais- ja illallisbuffeet olivat runsaita ja maittavia. Parkkeeraus oli hyvin kätevää.

Miinukset: Olin toivonut varauksessa suoraa merinäköalaa, mutta sen sijaan huoneemme parveke oli kohti toista "tornia". Tämä oli oikeastaan ainut todellinen miinus. Näkymät esim. sataman suuntaan samoista huoneista (juniorisviitti) oli upeat. Liikenteen melu oli parvekkeelle kovaa.

Plussat: Absolutely amazing Hotel - Great location, cleanliness, facilities, sea views, not to mention the jaw dropping quality of food at both breakfast & dinner. Couldn't recommend the hotel enough!

Miinukset: Need more umbrellas around pools so people aren't queuing 1hr+ in the morning before the facilities open.

Plussat: position is perfect. parking is free and easy

Miinukset: too crowded. people waiting in line 40 minutes before the pool opening to get a sun chair at the swimming pool. no chance to get one otherwise.

Plussat: The buffet selection was extensive and everything was very fresh. Hotel was very clean and staff very friendly. Easy access to the beach. Free parking

Miinukset: Not enough sun loungers. People would reserve them before breakfast and drag them around and plant them literally anywhere, and it was difficult to find a vacant one during the day resulting in having to put our towels on the grass and getting muddy! I didnt expect to have pay for the teabags in the room.

Plussat: EVERYTHING!! wonderful place, excellent service, conditions, atmosphere, views and treat. Beauuuuutiful location. Simply perfect.

Miinukset: Nothing that I didn't like.

Plussat: I liked just about everything, from the location the cleanliness and the general feeling of calm I got while exploring the facilities.

Miinukset: Just a few things such as the shower wouldn’t drain quick enough and would leak on the bathroom Floor causing us to take quick showers. The lack of rule keeping mainly people reserving beds with towels at 9 in the morning and not using the beds until maybe 1 in the afternoon making it hard for others to get beds.

Plussat: Huoneesta huippunäkymät merelle ja Fuengirolaan (superior huone ). Buffee aivan mahtava! Tosi hyvä valikoima ja aamiainen myös todella monipuolinen. Hyvä sisustus huoneissa .

Miinukset: Ei ollut kuntosalia.

Plussat: Hieno uima-allas alue, aamiainen

Miinukset: Uima-allas kylmä, ei lämmitystä

Plussat: View

Miinukset: Thay still makes work on the hotel and noice with the costrations...

Plussat: Staff room food

Plussat: Amazing buffet for all meals. The room was very spacious. The entire hotel felt higher class and top notch. Awesome childcare which was included without extra cost.

Miinukset: The pool and children's pool was cold (both my kids were shivering).

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä.

Miinukset: Hotellin henkilökunnan käyhös arveluttavaa. Hotelliluokitus ei vastaa neljää tähteä. Korkeintaan kolme. Illallinen onneton. Onneksi en varannut puolihoitoa. Iltaisin kova meteli klo 21-23.30 huonojen artistien vuoksi ja äänieristyksen puutteen vuoksi. Kaikki naapurin toimet ja käytävien meteli kuului huoneeseen. Ei mistään ilmansuunnasta aurinkoa parvekkeelle, vaikka respassa niin sanottiin. Sängyt todella vanhat, eivätkä pysyneet yhdessä. Parisängystä puhumattakaan. Harmittaa sillä hotellien vertailuun käytettiin todella pitkään aikaa. Turhaan.

Plussat: The staff are all amazing

Miinukset: Nothing it was perfect

Plussat: very clean hotel ,great food

Plussat: The Location was perfect clean and the food available had a great variety and of a very high standard .

Plussat: We were made very welcome by all staff. We had a late return flight. We were offered a courtesy room and dinner. A lovely gesture. Very relaxing hotel The food was excellent with lots of variety

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: the grassy bit at the pool area. the offered welcome drink and the offered free bottles of water and soda in the room. the easy access bar and snack area at the pool. the balcony and the view to the pool and the sea. automatic AC turnoff when patio door open (environmental friendly) the big selection at breakfast. lovely staff. underground parking optional. top top location

Miinukset: the double bed was not a double but two singles put together, the shower water temperature changed drastically depending on use in adjoining rooms

Plussat: The pool area is lovely, the new spar and it is not overpriced to purchase anything in the hotel as shops all around

Miinukset: The disabled room does not have a proper shower, just a small hand shower for a large shower area. Should have one built in to make it more enjoyable for special needs

Plussat: Runsas, monipuolinen ja hyvä aamiainen

Miinukset: Huoneen ilmastointi ei toiminut. Yöllä kuuma eikä saanut nukuttua sen takia.

Plussat: Situation was excellent, very clean and staff friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Air conditioning was poor and fan noisy.

Plussat: The pool area, the new spar, the Buffett and location.

Miinukset: The disabled room did not offer a very good shower. It’s a small handshower which is smaller than normal rooms and is of no help when sitting in a chair of disabled

Plussat: excellent

Miinukset: nothing

Miinukset: On check-out the person at the front desk made racist jokes about my wife! It was appalling!!! After complaining about this incident, the hotel did not offer any compensation.

Plussat: Sauna

Miinukset: Ulkoillaan kylmä

Plussat: Great location and spacious room - we were only B & B as we were in the area to visit friends, so didnt really use the facilities

Miinukset: Wi-Fi not great - but hotel managememt appeared to know about it - hopefully being resolved

Plussat: Great location with beautiful sea views. Room was large with a lovely big walk-in shower and double sinks and there were plenty coat-hangers in the wardrobes. Food excellent with good choices at both breakfast and dinner. Staff were very friendly and efficient. The location of the hotel is excellent and only a few minutes walk to the marina with shops, restaurants and bars all along the flat walkway in each direction. It is set fairly high above the walkway/beach with stunning views of the sea and marina. The hotel is immaculately clean and right on the beach. Great bus service at the door to Fuengirola, Mijas Pueblo, Benalmadena Pueblo, Torremollinos etc for reasonable prices and tickets can usually be bought from the driver. A great spot for a holiday in the sun!

Miinukset: I was disappointed that at time of booking we were not informed that the lift to the beach was out of order. There was a note at the hotel giving directions through the Hotel Triton for disabled wheelchair guests but that was still a trek for them. We heard a lot of guests complaining to each other that the stairs from the beach/walkway were exhausting especially in the heat. I found it difficult because of a health problem. Apparently the lift won't be working until 15th July 2019 which was posted on a sign by TUI. Desserts at dinner could have been better. On several occasions there was bread & butter pudding, custard or rice pudding - although there were other choices like cake, fruit, ice-cream etc I expected more from a 4 star hotel in Spain.

Plussat: Nice breakfast and dinner

Miinukset: Bad sound isolation in room, we literally heard snoring from another room.

Plussat: We have stayed there 4 t8mes in the last 2 years. Always found staff excellent wnd facilities above expectations.

Plussat: Location ,of property Room had a great balcony sea view and pool view .. even a jacuzzi, which was unexpected

Miinukset: House keeping could have cleaned our room more thoroughly during our stay , didnt replace room toiletries daily so we had to buy our own . The furniture on lounge bar area needed refurbished as lots if the seats were stained and just older looking .

Plussat: •It was close to the beach • free parking • huge pool area

Miinukset: •That it was a TUI operated hotel full of senior Brits. (Nothing against the brits) • have to pay €10 for 2 hours just to use the sauna/steam room. Steam room barely worked. • you could anytime someone closed there room door on your floor!

Plussat: Views, staff, location and food

Miinukset: Squeaky flooring and small lifts

Miinukset: Huone oli pienempi kuin Booking.comin esitteet (kuvat) antavat ymmärtää. Hotellissa on kahden kokoisia Superior huoneita, eri puolilla hotellia ja tämä oli se pienempi.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. Great hotel facilities - a gaming room with board games and billiard. An outdoor pool with a daily aqua fit exercise and bar. Terraces for sunbathing with umbrellas. An indoor pool with saunas and massages. Fitness center and outdoor table tennis. Daily events like Bingo, Spanish for beginners, table tennis, darts, relaxation, ... and also evening events like Flamenco, Brazilian show, Dance night, ... Our room was well equipped with a small fridge, TV, a huge bed, great wifi and sound-proof window+door to the balcony. The good thing was that the beach was right next to the hotel. Breakfast was good with large variety of different dishes.

Miinukset: We could hear noise from the other rooms thru the walls and ceiling. Bed could be softer and the air-conditioning didn't work well. We set the temperature to the maximum (35 °C) but it was still cooling to ~22 °C. Some dinner dishes were tasteless and there was no vegetable for breakfast but tomatoes.

Plussat: Great overall hotel will definitely be back

Plussat: Excellent breakfast and evening meal. Wine was reasonably priced. Lovely staff. We liked the little grass areas with the sunbeds.

Miinukset: Nothing - all great

Plussat: Small, Cosy, friendly and very clean All Facilities are present and clean The Spa is also Top! The staff is super!

Miinukset: A bit far to a Beach.

Plussat: Oma poreallas huoneessa, ystävällinen henkilökunta. Siisteys ylipäätään hotellissa.

Miinukset: Aamupala niukka

Plussat: Majority of it brilliant private hot tub was a good touch staff very friendly always helping

Miinukset: Location bit out of the way just need a taxi if you are looking to go for food or drinks

Plussat: The attic jacuzzi

Miinukset: The bed was too soft

Plussat: Panoramic view from the Jacuzzy on the balkony. Nice SPA downstairs

Miinukset: Difficult to enter the beach. Complicated to find the place in your own car. Restaurant was to fancy, no ordinary food

Plussat: Location and large rooms and staff was phenomenal

Miinukset: The manager was unapproachable, useless and never had eye contact with any guest always looking like she considered herself better than anybody else. If asked a question, without so much as a smile she would point in the direction of the front desk and say ask there This is while she was sitting at her desk and could easily have responded yes or no

Plussat: All very nice. Nice touch with hotub on balcony

Miinukset: Distance to main road

Plussat: Facilities, (private jacuzzi- hot tub- on the room's terrace) Wellness spa, location!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: The manager

Plussat: A bit of everything

Plussat: The staff! Wow wow wow!! Just great friendly amazing staff made our stay an complete experience!

Miinukset: Nothing! I loved it all

Plussat: Staff location and setup

Miinukset: Jacuzzi not working and indoor pool was freezing and not temperature controlled

Plussat: Good toddler pool and facilities, great breakfast.

Miinukset: Steep hill leading up to the property. Expensive for what it is

Plussat: A lot of family orientated entertainment throughout the day.

Miinukset: Reception staff could be a bit more informative when checking in very little information is given in terms of amenities in the hotel and locally. Requested a beach or pool view when booking but ended up in a rooftop studio which have tiny balconies and don't allow much of a view.

Plussat: Staff was nice and friendly and helpful and had a nice indoor pool snd sauna and steam room

Miinukset: Steep hill to hotel and not allowed ball or inflatable in pool and the food wasnt that good

Plussat: The property is located in a very calm place especially at night , love the apartment. Good food selection. I liked the entertainment specially for my child she really enjoyed it, the pool is nice and very sunny ☀️ lovely

Miinukset: The bed was uncomfortable

Plussat: It was excellent

Plussat: The pool was great and no need to rush in the morning to reserve sun beds. The mini market could provide more choice for self catering customers.

Miinukset: The hill up to the reception area.

Plussat: Aamiainen alkaa liian myöhään, pitäisi alkaa klo 7.00 tai ihan viimeistään 7.30 ja vois loppua vaikka puoli tuntia aikaisemmin, muuten ok

Miinukset: ikkunat ja ovet todella huonolaatuiset, vetoiset ja eivät toimi kunnolla.

Plussat: Great location and lovely views

Miinukset: The hills getting up to it

Plussat: Aamiainen oli monipuolinen ja runsas. Illallinen oli erittäin hyvä, voisin syödä siellä joka päivä. Vastaanotosta myös saa lippuja, joilla saa illallisen halvemmalla, jos syö vähintään 3 kertaa hotellilla. Sisäuima-altaasta plussaa.

Plussat: Good location, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarket.

Miinukset: Missing insulation around the door to the room. Easy to hear what ever noise was coming from the hall way outside the room.

Plussat: room was recently renovated and very clean and bright - great location just 5 min walk to beach

Miinukset: air con was very poor even when on all day room was not cold enough and beds wer not comfy at all - pool seats had towlels thrown down every day and very busy so hard to get a seat and had to go to beach every day instead

Plussat: Excellent breakfast .Very clean and tidy rooms. Very curtious and friendly staff .

Miinukset: Can T say there was anything g we did not like .

Plussat: Location and breakfast. Room was clean.

Miinukset: Loft room was too cramped with bed pushed against the wall. Dangerous layout of sockets and wires cramped under sloping roof on which we banged our heads many times. Other rooms here have been far superior.

Plussat: Sijainti oli erinomainen, huone siivottiin päivittäin ja aamiainen oli ihan ok.

Miinukset: Huoneessa ei ollut ikkunaa tai ovea ulos. Ilma huoneessa oli huono, ilmastointilaite ei toiminut.

Plussat: Amazing breakfast Fantastic location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Brilliant location, very clean and friendly staff. Would definitely return.

Miinukset: Two room keys would have been useful

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen

Miinukset: Ei uima-allasta

Plussat: Breakfast really good. Good value for money

Miinukset: The hotel was very clean,Sfaff really helpful. Would stay there again

Plussat: Great staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was good

Miinukset: The checkin was 200 metres away in anothe hotel!There is no staff manning the reception so when we had problems like a spoiled tv remote control and missing bath towel there was no staff to help. The hotel phone number given direct us to a automated machine that speak only spanish. So we had to live with the problem.

Plussat: Very clean Excellent breakfast

Miinukset: Quaint

Plussat: We loved the location of the hotel its in a beautiful white Spanish village with views over the sea. The hotel itself is basic but clean and comfortable the breakfast was really good plenty to eat, the staff are friendly and were very helpful,there's lots of lovely places to eat nearby we will definitly stay here again

Plussat: Very helpful staff, clean room and facilities were good. Breakfast was mostly continental but varied enough. Cosy atmosphere. A good base for the local area.

Miinukset: Had to check in at La Fonda, then walk to La Posada nearby. Both difficult to find by car and then on foot, without using Google Maps. Free parking only available on the road, which was also not easy to search for.

Plussat: This hotel was better than 5star hotels I have stayed in.Small quiet hotel and perfect for a weekend away in a typical Spanish village. The staff were very helpful and they now serve a buffet breakfast at the hotel for 4 euros.

Plussat: Very clean, recently renovated, decent quality for its price...

Plussat: rooms very clean comfortable and quiet, huge beds. kettle provided in the room- a rarity in spain.Staff very friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for a quiet break, but a car is essential.

Miinukset: rooms a little on the small side,water only tepid in the morning. the only parking was some way from the hotel. No public rooms available at time of our stay

Plussat: Very nice and quiet location in the village of Benalmádena. The family running the hotel was very helpful during our stay and provided us with information about the available hotels and beaches in/near Benalmádena. The room was quite spacious and the bathroom easily accessible with a wheelchair.

Miinukset: Just as a note to disabled persons: The ramp at the entrance is too steep for disabled persons in a wheelchair traveling alone. I managed to climb it once by myself with a certain amount of momentum and without a backpack. If you are not traveling alone this should be no problem.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, very clean and comfy.

Miinukset: Not good location for beach visiting if no car. About 20-30 mins walking.

Plussat: Lovely hostal very clean good location near the train station and 10-15 minutes from the beach lots of restaurants outside.

Miinukset: Paid the additional for the continental breakfast which was just toast also mix up with the rooms meaning I had to pay additional but this was refunded.

Plussat: Amazing customer service , clean and perfect location .

Plussat: breakfast was fine, location for railway station was perfect, less than a few minutes walk also location for bars and restaurants was very good

Miinukset: noisy people above us late at night

Plussat: Siisti ja sijainti täydellinen

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Staff helpful and great central location

Plussat: Breakfast Proximity to the train station Friendly staff

Miinukset: There is nothing not to like. ... .......

Plussat: I wouldn’t take the breakfast option.

Miinukset: Breakfast.

Plussat: Staff were very helpful The room was very clean and comfortable It was in a great location

Plussat: Hyvä hinta/laatusuhde. Perusaamiainen kahvi+paahdettu sämpylä alle 3€. Kolmen minuutin kävely juna-asemalta. Virallinen check-in oli klo 14 mutta sain huoneeni jo puoli 12. Ilmastointi pelasi moitteettomasti. Sekä huone että kylppäri olivat siistejä. Vaikka nimessä lukee hostel niin huoneessa oli sekä oma vessa että suihku.

Miinukset: Äänieristys kadullepäin oli tosi hyvä mutta muuten seinät on ohuet joten suosittelen korvatulppia mukaan.

Plussat: Location, the room had a balcony, very friendly staff

Miinukset: Room had a musty smell, the smallest tv you will ever see!!!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Good accommodation and I have no idea why it is not classed as a hotel as opposed to a hostel. A 3 minute walk to C1 train station in a very pleasant neighbourhood. Walk downhill to beach is pleasant but to walk up is a bit of a task in the heat - consider bus to train station and then very short walk downhill from there. Very clean and friendly staff. Would stay again and great value for money.

Miinukset: Walk back from beach but not the fault of accommodation. All else very good.

Plussat: Service of the village.

Miinukset: Well liked.

Plussat: The food was very good.

Miinukset: The view from my room

Plussat: The facilities were excellent

Miinukset: The gym a lot of equipment was not working

Plussat: The Room was spacious and the kitchenette was helpful for the baby. Staff were lovely very welcoming

Miinukset: My room was located in the far end of the hotel hard to get to dinner and breakfast with the baby as most access were blocked off and had to keep going in through the pool or bar with all the smokers. Food was low quality for a 4* expected better to be honest

Plussat: Lots of facilities, great for kids

Miinukset: Rooms need to be refurbished

Plussat: The bed was great and the facilities are great for children! There are so many pool options and the beach club looks amazing! Love the elephants!

Miinukset: The food wasn't great but I put that down to trying to cater to English palates. There was always something nice but not a great variety. Had we have been staying for longer than 4 days we may have gotten a bit bored!

Plussat: Went for breakfast on last morning as we were self catering but didn't enjoy the breakfast as the sausages were not nice not worth the money and beach was very pebbly otherwise loved the apartment and location. Loved the croissants in shop down stairs and room service was excellent in room during week.

Miinukset: The breakfast on last morning and the pebbles on beach and in water.

Plussat: Asiakaspalvelu ja henkilökunta oli huippu ja siisteys

Miinukset: Aurinkotuolien varaus. Sääntöjen mukaan niitä ei olisi saannut varata ja altaankin piti aueta vasta klo 10 alkaen, mutta siitä huolimatta lähes kaikki paikka oli varattu jo klo 9 lähtien.

Plussat: Huoneen pohjaratkaisu oli hyvä ja hyvin oli tilaa. Hotellin takana kiva rantanäkymä.

Miinukset: Parveke näkymä oli hirveä ja kyllä huoneistossa sisustusta vois päivittää.

Plussat: We love everything except the rooms

Miinukset: I am coming here since I am a child an now im bringing my 2 kids . For 2 adults an 2 kids it's a disgrace for all the years coming that there is no double bed for adults to sleep in as we come here ever single year .. my dad an mam coming here 30 years an we do love it but we should be looked after with a much better room

Plussat: Our room was lovely, a suite, after we were satisfied there were no ants.

Miinukset: Ques for sunbeds at 8:00 am, ridiculous!!! No sunbeds if your up late. We found ants in our first apartment in fridge and moved to another. Lifts are a joke, only three to cater for a large amount of quests. Not ideal for couples.

Plussat: The apartment was fab.

Miinukset: It was a little expensive for a one night stay.

Plussat: Great pool very close to the beach

Miinukset: I thought we where getting a sea view but we got a floor above the main road looking out to the mountains.

Plussat: Everything was great everyone enjoyed it

Miinukset: Fringe couldn’t even freeze ice blocks. Bought beer cold from supermarket and after a hour in fridge it was warm

Miinukset: Huoneeseen kuului kova käytävä meteli.

Plussat: Kids club activities shows Pool Restaurant

Miinukset: Could have been more information about the hotel and facilities Not enough sunbeds

Plussat: Close to the beech

Plussat: Everything about the place was amazing. Looking forward to booking again for next year

Miinukset: That most of the sun beds were on hold from 7 in the morning!

Plussat: The facilities for the children

Miinukset: The food was of mediocre quality and often cold. The room was dusty upon arrival. The lighting in the bedroom was inadequate for reading

Plussat: Victor at reception was so helpful and correct in his information sharing about hotel facilities ect...while other staff were complacent and rude...housecleaning staff were so lovely and helpful ...very clean... we will come back again.

Miinukset: As above

Plussat: Great hotel and facilities, especially for children.

Miinukset: Food was good, however there were long queues to wait for the buffet.

Plussat: Huone oli hiljaisen sijainnin ja lähes olemattoman asiakasmäärät vuoksi hyvä nukkua. Aula on hyvin vaikuttava ja tyylikäs.

Miinukset: Ruoka oli nipinnapin keskitasoa, lisäksi astiat olivat ajoittain likaisia. Samat roskat ja tahrat olivat koko lomamme ajan käytävien lattioilla. Ensimmäisenä päivänä kun menimme lounaalle huomasimme uima- allasta kiertävän aitauksen ja siinä useampi lappu joka kertoi sen olevan suljettu. (Minulla on tästä valokuva puhelimessa, en vaan osaa siitä sitä siirtää että voisin sen teille lähettää) allasaita avattiin kuulemma satunnaisesti. Tämä oli suuri pettymys ja siitä teille laitoin heti viestin)

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: I bring my daughter here every year and she absolutely loves it, great place to go with kids, kids club, bowling, mini spa, arcade, mini disco, aqua park and brilliant friendly staff. If you have little ones this place is a must. We will be back next year

Miinukset: Buffet can be a bit tedious when the hotel is busy

Plussat: All the animals in the hotel and the water feature. The hotel is very grand with some fantastic views from certain parts of the hotel. Rooms were very spacious and we would definitely go back! The breakfast Buffett was great too lots to choose from.

Miinukset: The beds are quite hard, and it’s a shame that if you are not all inclusive you have to go out for food you can only buy bar snacks in the day and go out at night but it’s fairly close to benalmadena and fuengirola so you have plenty of choice.

Plussat: The amazing staff and how you could go down to the beach club and enjoy your day there

Miinukset: That the beds weren’t doubles and they would separate very easily, other than that everything was great

Plussat: breakfast ok good selection

Miinukset: nothing around hotel

Plussat: Ruoka oli hyvää ja sitä oli paljon tarjolla. Huone oli siisti ja tilava. Sänky oli valtava. Vesipuisto ja hotellin oma uima-allas oli viihtyisä ja pienillekin lapsille sopivia. Hotellissa hienointa oli, kun siellä oli lintuja, kilpikonnia, kaloja ja vesiputouksia sisätiloissa. Lapset jaksoivat ihastella niitä päivästä toiseen. Pihalla oli lapsille pieni leikkipuisto, sekin oli mukava. Hotellissa oli myös oma kauppa, josta sai ostaa leluja, ruokaa, juomaa, matkamuistoja, vaatteita ja aurinkovoidetta. Kaupan hinnat eivät olleet ihan mahdottomat. Hotellissa olisi ollut biljardipöytiä, keilausta ym, mutta emme ehtineet niitä kokeilla. Tarjolla oli myös lastenhoitopalvelu.

Plussat: I booked a “all inclusive” room. The room is clean, and it’s big enough for 2 adults and 1 kind. The show is very nice, and my child like all the shows. The swim pool and the beach club is very good.

Miinukset: The buff restaurant is so so. The lobby is hot. The WiFi and safety box need extra cost, I didn’t notice it before.

Plussat: Facilities are top class, spacious rooms and great food.

Plussat: Vähän kaikesta . Hyvä sijainti

Plussat: Lovely hotel , great location

Miinukset: No complaints

Plussat: Sijainti

Miinukset: Melu ulkoa, koska huoneeni sijaitsi vain 3. kerroksessa.

Plussat: Location was good and facilities were fine

Miinukset: No kettle in room for tea or coffee

Plussat: I went away with my parents and boyfriend for my dad’s 70th birthday. We all really enjoyed our stay in Hotel Alay. We will be back again. location is perfect right beside the Marina and the beach. Great selection of breakfast.

Plussat: Clean, quiet rooms, great view, plenty of space around the pools, good gym.

Miinukset: Towels were small and not great quality for this standard or hotel. It would be nice to have a kettle or coffee maker in the room.

Plussat: Good hotel in a perfect location. Rooms are big and comfortable, big choice for breakfast and dinner. Fact that this is adult only hotel was great too. Entertainment at night, service good.

Miinukset: Despite it being really hot outside it would be a bonus if there would be blankets in the rooms as at night it could be quite uncomfortable just under a thin layer. Otherwise all was good.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The position of the hotel is excellent! The port and the beach are at about 2 minutes distance from the hotel. There is also a supermarket nearby. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. My mom and dad loved the coffee machine (think it was a Nescafé). Also loved the flamenco night!!

Miinukset: The room cleaning was kind of disappointing for a 4 stars hotel.

Plussat: Excellent location, food and cleanliness! I don’t think you could get a better location to stay! The swimming pools and outdoor jacuzzis were amazing! We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely return!

Plussat: Liked all the different terraces in different locations around the hotel, well laid out. Easy walk to the beach if you prefer. Easy walk to the marina

Miinukset: Felt the buffet style food could have been better, a few more choices. Breakfast food was a little cold so keeping hotter for longer would help

Plussat: Newly refurbished, very tastefully decorated. Large rooms and very comfortable bed. Pool areas were clean and well maintained. Pool bar was very reasonably priced, friendly server. Aircon worked perfectly. We were located in the smaller area of the hotel therefore our balcony was smaller but still big enough to sit out. Games areas, pool, cards, board games available for a more relaxing night. Always loungers and chairs available. The hot tubs were never over crowded. Outdoor massages available. Location was perfect. Across from the Marina and right next to the beach. The usual smaller supermarkets located a minute walk from the hotel for suncream, snacks etc.

Miinukset: The hotel was advertised as adults only but this wasn't the case. I was informed some families were charged additional charge for bringing in a child yet no compensation granted to guests expecting adults only. Strange smell on entering the hotel but this was localised and lots of cleaning staff were around so this might have been a one off.
