Chipiona hotellia

Plussat: Very nice clean and comfortable room. Quiet at this time of the year, very close to magnificent boulevard along Atlantic coast.

Miinukset: Pretty difficult access by car but perhaps Google map didn’t work as it should.

Plussat: Fine fixtures within, large solarium on rooftop. Friendly and capable staff, quiet room amid lots going on outdoors. Decent breakfast on premises.

Miinukset: Difficult to locate while driving, but once you find it they will park your car on site for a reasonable fee. We found free parking a very short walk away.

Plussat: We liked everything. It is a charming, family run hotel. The decor is superb and the staff could not have been more helpful. The room was modern and had a beautiful view. In fact they upgraded us to a room with a small balcony and a fantastic view of the sea. It was also quiet at night. Breakfast was in the bar next door and you could order whatever you like. Rafael was great as he even parked our car as the car park wasdifficult. The hotel was in the centre of the action but was like an oasis of calm. We used the solarium too.

Miinukset: Nothing. I would recommend that if you opt for parking get Rafael to do it. It is such a tight squeeze.

Plussat: Good value hotel, right in the heart of Chipiona. Clean, comfortable room, good air conditioning. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Private car park available which must be a bonus in high season - we ended up parking on the street about 200 metres away which was fine, but we were not here in the main season. There was a good deal on breakfast when we came. It's in the cafe next door - well worth it if the additional cost seems low. Room had television and fridge. Wifi worked fine.

Miinukset: No safe in the room. Fridge was a bit smelly though looked clean. No English language stations on the tv, though I don't expect there to be.

Plussat: Location and interior of the hotel and friendliness of staff.Breakfast excellent. On site car parking. I am ashamed to say my Spanish language skills are zero. This resort has few British visitors so little English is spoken. Everyone tried to help us . Perfect time of year to visit weather in early 20s . Spring flowers out and trees full of Oranges and Lemons. Chipiona is a good base to visit this area.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Loved Everything! Will definitely stay again. Great Location! great People! Beautiful Rooms! Roof top with amazing view!

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Amazing place. Wonderful staff. Room extremely clean and comfortably furnished. A large bathroom. Breakfast is fine. The advantage is also the underground parking. Great location! We will definitely be back!

Plussat: The Staff was very nice. The location is excellent.

Miinukset: I had different expectations from reading reviews and seeing the ratings. We must have had the worst room in the hotel. Small, nothing to put things on in room or bathroom. Water temperature was not consistent. It was very mediocre. We have found much nicer rooms in Spain at better prices.

Plussat: It was a wonderful room, with views to the sea and castle. Everything was perfect, and we plan to return.

Plussat: Comfy bed, clean room, good shower, helpful reception.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: The staff was rude, unhelpful and unprofessional; they could not understand we had added another night to our booking, and add difficulty explaining to us that they did not charge us already. Moreover, I had to wait a long time before they decided speaking to me.

Plussat: Great location, we walked into Chipiona and it's only a 7 minute drive to Sanlucar. Friendly staff and modern/sleek architecture and style. Pool area is fabulous with a gorgeous view. Our seaview room with a terrace was excellent.

Miinukset: The breakfast could have been better. It was a very basic buffet with Spanish/international options, none of them hugely good. Coffee - a must in Spain - was decidedly average from a machine. Fruit was good and fresh but breads were average and could have been fresher. Wouldn't have minded but 11 euro per person is a lot for what we had.

Plussat: Very polite staff everywhere. Excellent breakfast. The view from the terrace of the restaurant ist wonderful. We stayed there at the beginning of October, so a lot of hotels had already closed. The Beach is broad and it is possible to walk there for kilometers. The sea at the Costa de la Luz however is rather wild, nothing for easy and calm swimming, but of course for surfing. From Chipiona it is easy to reach other places (Sevilla, Cadiz) by car.

Plussat: The rooms were spacious and comfortable, if not a bit cold and impersonal.

Miinukset: Everything, from the staff who was misunderstanding everything and not doing its job properly, to the foolish parking inside the hotel that you have to pay very expensively if you want to park your car. The whole hotel feels like a huge hospital for tourists, and it is not welcoming at all.

Plussat: The view from our balcony was just amazing and the sunsets fantastic. The staff were great really good breakfast and everywhere spotless clean.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike fabulous hotel

Plussat: Fantastic location on a lovely beach, spacious well equipped room. Well designed hotel with excellent facilities. Very friendly staff.

Miinukset: All great!

Plussat: Good breakfast; breakfast time (to 11:00); pool on the roof in the 2. floor; the beach Nice and living original town just 500m away

Miinukset: often problems with the internett: connection and stability; to many 'small things' which shouldn't be in a 4 star place: nearly no art or design works at all; long hallways without any optical breakups (looks as if you are on a ferryboat); some interior issues: very small mirror squeezed between curtains wardrobe; unpractical water tap in the shower (easy to touch with your bak and change temperature); cleaning tables and chairs with the same cloth shouldn't happen, but it did every day (breakfast hall)

Plussat: A lovely welcome from the reception staff, fabulous layout, and pool location.The food was amazing. Good value and great presentation. The bedroom was clean and spacious and the bathroom simply fab.

Miinukset: The only downside was having to hold on to our cutlery for the main meal. That seemed out of character for the service we received but we told the receptionist so hopefully they will correct that. Also the pool area closed very early, it would have been nice to sit there and watch the sunset.

Plussat: hotel style

Miinukset: not cleaned windows

Plussat: On the beach. Great beds and bathrooms.

Miinukset: We had a room looking out to a courtyard. Drinks were a bit pricey.

Plussat: We arrived later than expected but had a fantastic welcome and were even offered a choice of rooms. Everyone was lovely and prepared to chat with us in spite of our halting Spanish! Great hotel, full of charm, two minutes away from a lovely square and the town centre. Would recommend it to anyone.

Plussat: Great location. Very welcoming & helpful

Miinukset: Noisy until quite late. Due to bar close by.

Plussat: An old building in the old town centre with boundless charme around a pretty courtyard. 3 minutes to the nearest beach, about 10 to the big beach. Our room boasted a little terrace overlooking the street and chairs on the balcony of the inner courtyard. The room was small but very functional. If you come in high season you might prefer a room giving onto the courtyrad as it is calmer

Miinukset: Nothing not to like

Plussat: Room was cleaned, beds made and towels were changed every day. Fabulous shower. It was excellent value for money. The host was very friendly and welcoming. A smattering of books to swap if you so desired.

Miinukset: Can honestly say there was nothing we didn't like.

Plussat: Lovely traditional hotel in the old town centre. Comfortable beds, small fridge in room, quiet, friendly welcome. Walking distance to beach, parking, market, bars and restaurants but down a side street so more peaceful.

Miinukset: Like most hotels in the old town, no private parking.

Plussat: We have stayed at Gran Capital on 3 occasions over the past five years. It is exceptionally well run and will revisit when we next go down to that part of Spain. The situation in the center of Chipiona is full of interest and enjoyment with a number of excellent restaurants nearby. It certainly ticks all the boxes for us.

Plussat: nice and clean very authentic hostal in a perfect location, with super friendly staff

Miinukset: Niets

Plussat: Quiet, central, charming, comfortable, clean, so so friendly and helpful, lovely, lovely, lovely!

Miinukset: I cant think of anything not to like!

Plussat: Lovely location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Accomadation traditional and comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very nice place to be.Hotel area was little bit bleak ,because it seems to be new and plants and trees just gowing. Resort location is ok if you have a car. Breakfast and dinner was really great. Sea is only 2min walk by sidewalk and sandy beach with showers was great too. Very nice staff

Miinukset: Location , especially if you dont have a car.We did... :)

Plussat: food excellent, room spacious enough

Miinukset: pool and gym accessible 10.00-19.00 (too late), pool was not heated playa is not very appropriate for swimming, because of wind and waves, in Chipione are many beaches with accessories and protection

Plussat: I loved the whole hotel but especially the Infinitive pool and sun beds. The various pools are great for kids. My 9 year old son loved the slides pool. The close proximity to the beach is great too.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The place for relax

Plussat: Food and location excellent. Would definatley stay again. Love the location but need a car, liked the area very much.

Plussat: Very clean in every respect, well equipped with everything one would need for a short holiday.

Miinukset: It was very remote, if you didn’t have your own transport you where limited to the hotel complex. The nearest village/ towns where at least 15 mins away by car. The hotel brouchures for information did not include an English language version. (Bexit already?)

Plussat: So unbelievably clean. The cleaners were out washing floors, sunbeds, corridors. Our room was cleaned daily and quickly. We were never disturbed. The restaurant and food was excellent consistently for the whole week. The staff smiley, helpful and always making an effort with the children. The pools again were so clean and well laid out with great lifeguards who were quite strict but for good reason.

Miinukset: The only down side was the night bar area was so brightly lit and felt a bit bare with uncomfortable club chairs so we didn't stay long each night. Large sofas all at one end around a TV could have been dotted around the lounge then we would have stayed for a relaxing drink.

Plussat: Fabulous location. Well appointed room with kitchen facilities and good sound proofing. Very comfortable. The staff are very helpful and the hotel is kept spotlessly clean.

Plussat: The location, the friendly, helpful staff, well maintained pool and bar areas along with standards of cleanliness I have never experienced in a hotel / apartment made this the ideal holiday venue for us!

Miinukset: A comfy chair in the apartment would have been nice!

Plussat: This is a very nice and very well maintained appart-hotel; it is situated in the prettiest part of Chipiona and you can’t be closer to the beach than this. Comfortable beds and pillows, bathroom with a bathtub and fully equipped kitchen. Initially there was no kettle, neither a toaster there, but when we enquired in the reception we were promptly given both. There’s nice solarium on the roof with a bar, where you can get a brekkie, beer or a cocktail, and two working jacuzzis. Very polite and efficient staff. Parking was easy too.

Plussat: Excellent location, very clean

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very helpful and friendly staff. Made the extension of our stops with them and at our next location very easy. Direct access to beach and a short walk to town centre.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We had an apartment with a large bedroom and a balcony overlooking the street. The swimming pool was small but clean and cool and the terrace by the pool offered a choice of good loungers or tables and chairs. the roof terrace had two jacuzzis which were excellent.

Miinukset: traffic and sometimes people were noisy until late at night and started again at around 0500 - but this is a town with a lot of people on holiday. At night we didn't find it easy to find the balance between being too hot or too cold. If we closed the window the bedroom was too hot. the airconditioning unit was in the kitchen at the other end of the apartment and the bedroom got too cold if we left the bedroom door open.

Plussat: Breakfast was fine. The room was clean.

Miinukset: The pool closes from 3-5pm which was inconvenient. The noise from the local festival happening beside the hotel made sleep impossible for my elderly parents until 5am each night. Requested a quiet room as my mother has just finished chemotherapy and has little energy to stay awake late at night. The receptionist told us that the basement room they were assigned would not be disturbed by noise with the windows and doors closed. Totally incorrect. Requested to leave and be reimbursed after 3 out of 7 nights of no sleep. This was denied. No warning on booking.com or the hotel website about elevated noise that weekend. Would not return. Very disappointing.

Plussat: The fact that it is facing the ocean which is beautiful. The breakfast on the roof was nice too.

Miinukset: The fact they did not say that apartments for 4 people are in the back facing the street and with noise and no view. We felt cheated on. It should have been clearly explained on the website when one makes the reservation.

Plussat: Localization, parking, direct sea view: room 308 with big tarace, 311 more space without tarace.

Miinukset: Weak cofee for the breakfast. Should be real cofee machine, not for pills.

Plussat: Great location, comfortable beds, parking.

Miinukset: The smell in the bathroom,

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was exceptionally clean, breakfast catered for all tastes and food was plentiful and well presented. The position of the hotel was perfect,right on the beach in a very quiet area, the restaurants that were within a 5-10 min walk were excellent and good value for money.

Miinukset: Our only negative comment was that we had to pay 8 Euro a day for the hotel car park.

Plussat: Great location!

Plussat: Many many thanks to Maria Jose una chica estupenda!!

Plussat: Extremely spacious and comfortable hotel with great sea views all the way to Miami. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Food good. We used this hotel as our base camp for the 2019 Moto GP at Jerez and the very lively mayhem associated with this event put us right on the button. Well impressed.

Miinukset: My only gripe is car parking, it does not exist. The hotel are perfectly honest and up front about this, but in this age of car rental companies nailing your credit card for thousands in the event of a scratch. Please provide car parking, it is possible, I have surveyed the patch.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. One of the best coffees of the whole trip and I have never seen Cava at breakfast before (I didn't have any!). Our room overlooked the beach and so had a lovely aspect. It is unfortunate that the hotel is directly above the Irish bar, I am just thankful that we stayed on a Sunday night and therefore we were not disturbed by noise late into the night.

Plussat: We liked the full experience from arrival to departure. We booked half board thinking lunch was the next day but it was at the day of arrival. They kindly changed it for us. The hotel location was amazing, right on the beach with amazing sea views and sunsets from the nicely decorated terrace with Balinese umbrellas. I like they think about little details - the room came with small bottle of local wine to taste. Food was very tasty. Living in Andalusia for 5 years I know they like to fry everything, but this hotel goes beyond. They offered really great home-cooked style dishes and didn't spare money on things like asparagus, anchovies, artichokes, goat cheese. Very impressive! If more time we would have rented bikes as well.

Miinukset: 4 poster bed is nice, but in a bigger room. I hit my hip when walking around. Using shower tap is not easiest, if I was very hard to twist it.

Plussat: A beautiful place near the beach for a peaceful vacancion.

Miinukset: Very poor breakfast in a dire basement room no light poor quality materials..

Plussat: Breakfast good - choices of everything. Food in general is excellent. Friendly staff and atmosphere. 2nd visit would stay again

Miinukset: Unfortunately the weather But hotel can't help that! We had two glorious days and two very miserable cloudy days

Plussat: Everything, the position opposite the sea, room very comfortable, food very good, couldn’t have been better Will definitely stay again

Miinukset: Nothing,

Plussat: All the staff were very friendly and although some had very little English they were excellent and tried to help at all times. Reception staff all spoke English and were happy to interpret when I was "chatting" to one of the waitresses. Google translator comes in handy! One of the waiters was very helpful with my menu choices, I have seafood allergy so need to be really careful. Restaurant food was really superb, service great and prices also very competitive. We ate in restaurant for the three night of our stay. Lovely to sit on terrace with drinks and watch sunset. Breakfast buffet as expected, husband could have his cooked "English" and I was happy with fruit and selection of breads and pastries. The room was very comfortable, very clean and fabulous sea view. Wouldn't bother to stay elsewhere now if we wanted to go to Chipiona when visiting family.

Miinukset: Tea and coffee facilities in all rooms would be great.

Plussat: Right on the beach! Great staff!

Plussat: Very friendly staff ! Perfekt location! Happy!! See us again!!

Plussat: Location, comfort, cleanliness and breakfast

Plussat: Having stayed there two years ago the location is particularly good both for the beach and the restaurants in the centre of town

Miinukset: Alas people who smoke allow the smoke from outside to drift into the dining room

Plussat: I loved location and price. It was beautifull house, with nice pictures and decorations.

Miinukset: staff did'nt speak in english, so it was harder to communicate. And - I would love to have only cofe in breakfest, without food.

Plussat: It was close to the beach and lighthouse. When i said i didnt like the first room because of all the stairs, she changed it, there were still stairs but not as many ( i had asked for a ground floor room when i booked)

Miinukset: We were a party of 5, there was only us there over Christmas, the bedrooms am sure are great in the summer, but in the winter they were very damp and never seemed to dry out after the showers in the morning, the air conditioning heating was ok, it was the damp that got to us really, the shower was good but the shower holder very badly placed, the bathroom was very tight with a folding door, this needed to be open for you to dry yourself. The room was ok, bed ok. Breakfast was a little dismal, very cold conditions, very cold room, eating breakfast wearing coats and scarves is not much fun, no fresh bread, no hot foods at all....pre packed cheese slices, salami or choritzo sausage, or small pre packed spreads, hot chocolate was great after being microwaved but went cold very quickly because the room was cold. The hot water and coffee were the same. We were given toast but it was very hard....no heating in the dining room at all. The Wifi was not good, exasperatingly bad, Parking was ok in the street, i wouldnt stay there again. It was priced ok I suppose. Was nice to get out of the damp atmosphere, it should not have opened for the Christmas Holidays.

Plussat: Excellent location, and beautiful room. Very helpful owner who helped out with glue and clamps when the sole of motorcycle boot fell off. Secure motorcycle parking in the front yard which was locked at night.

Miinukset: Thought 8 euros was a bit expensive to park a bike in the front yard.

Plussat: Pleasant staff and on street parking was easy to find outside the premises.

Miinukset: Unfortunately we were on the ground floor at the front of the property. In the morning we were awoken by the motorbikes that were parked outside our room. I understand that the land to the front of the property is actually marketed as off road motorbike parking. Great for touring bikers, not so great for us!

Plussat: The area , the Hostal reasonable bedroom size

Miinukset: Very dissapointed withe the WiFi It is a requirement for me to have contact with Family but in this Hostal it was not very often possible as it said sometimes wifi no internet or no connection what so ever I did complain and the manager did get the engineers and ok for a short time. I would prefere to know this before I book as would have altered Hostal. I had to use data roaming to use my mobile at all Expensive shame as otherwise complete nice place

Plussat: Good shower...........shower was good...........well apart from the open plug, too high for kids though, so that was good. ....... Good microwave to re heat the hot milk... Parking was ok.

Miinukset: Easier to say what I did like
