The area is great for exploring and the views are truly magical! We also really enjoyed the baths - especially the salt one, a very special experience. Laura on the front desk was very good and a young man who’s name we didn’t get. The restaurant next door was excellent.

The room did not make for a good night sleep due to a red flashing light. The shower gel was empty, there was no bin, and our robes and slippers for the baths were not brought up. There were no coffee cups in our room and only one water glass. The rooftop bar (vending machine) was broken. Furthermore the person on reception was not helpful regarding our bath experience. This did not make for a 5* experience. The building works were not an issue and are almost finished. Breakfast was average.

The location, very close to the bars and restaurants. The breakfast terrace and views and the pool area. Although a small pool it was very welcoming and relaxing. Excellent breakfast. We were in room 210 which is at the back of the hotel. It was a good size and quiet. We would definitely stay again.

Decking on the breakfast terrace is loose and needs sorting out. Another umbrella is also needed around the pool. No robes in the bedroom as listed. Pool terrace needs re setting in the morning as it is just left from how people had it the day before. Don't like bathroom layout. Wash basin in the bedroom. No wash basin in the toilet.

Our stay here was one of the top highlights of our trip. Both my kids, 20y and 18y, say that the baths were their favourite experience of the whole 25 day holiday. They exceeded our expectations hugely and all three of us will definitely be on the lookout for our next floatarium (high salt pool) opportunity. Staff at the hotel were super welcoming and kind. We arrived late and they were very accommodating. They even booked us for dinner at the restaurant next door, Quatro Hojas, which was AMAZING. Honestly the best meal any of us has EVER had anywhere. Little did we know it is a Michelin star restaurant. The hotel and rooms were very spacious and comfortable. They overlooked a courtyard (modern but done in an old world style). We didn't get to spend enough time in Almeria other than driving through. What we saw looked very beautiful - old buildings well preserved, lots of character. We want to go back!

The dark hallways. Creepy.

The room was great space, super clean and comfortable.

Our check in experience for the bathing experience was a debacle. It unfortunately made the experience not as enjoyable as it could of been. It could have been avoided if reception would of checked prior with us.....given check in happens directly through them. Reviewing their processes will ensure better communication with guests. The alarm system in reception to protect robes from being stolen was awful. The staff in the bathing rooms did their best to make the experience positive.

The hotel was centrally located by the Calle De Las Tiendas, which means easy access to loads of bars and restaurants, and also that the Alcabanza (a key sight to see!) is only a short walk away. The staff were great, really friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and well cleaned and maintained. There's a rooftop pool which also has a fancy drinks vending machine (including cava and spirits). Finally, the hotel has a spa/baths as their main attraction. These baths are incredible, and we did the baths experience in two nights when there, featuring thermal pools, a salt bath, steam room and jacuzzi baths. Guests at the hotel get up to 25% off the spa prices (day dependent) if they book when staying at the hotel, so when me and my partner did the 90 mins spa baths experience, it was only €75 - which is a bargain for what you'd pay in England!

We have stayed at the Aire many times. It overlooks the stunning, recently renovated town hall square. We love the style of the rooms, (we booked a suite overlooking the square) and communal areas. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Though we didn’t use it on this occasion, the spa is absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. There’s lots of great restaurants and tapas bars nearby and plenty of shops. The beach is 20 minutes walk away.

We love everything this hotel. If you book a suite and find stairs difficult, ask for one without stairs.

The location is ideal, in the peaceful section of the old town, within 5 minutes’ walking distance from the entrance to the hilltop fortress (2nd largest moorish castle in Spain). Quite a few restaurants for various tastes in the vicinity. A nifty and costworthy multi-storey car park very close. The hotel is located by the old market square, which was under heavy renovation, but when finished, it will surely be absolutely splendid! The breakfast room is on the top floor with a superb view on the old fortifications.

Our room had a ’weird’ setup: there was a separate booth for showering, one for the toilet seat, and the sink was standing almost in the centre of the room … took some time to get used to it. Some of our expendables got spoiled before we noticed that the in-room-fridge had tripped (the light was on, anyway!). We didn’t try the thermal baths.

The spa is fantastic, particularly the couples spa experience, which was included in the price we paid. The room was good. The location was fantastic and everything was within 10 minutes walk. The staff are super friendly and always happy to help. Overall, the hotel was lovely, central and definitely worth it

The shower head in the room had some sharp edges which left some cuts. The curtain rail fell down (which was reported and fixed in about an hour, in the hotels defence). The pillows were a bit too soft for my personal likes. There were a number of wasps every morning during breakfast which was an issue as my partner is very allergic to stings

The Ancient Baths

The layout of the room was odd the sink was beside the bed and the shower had a glass wall so no privacy if someone else is in the room. Booked breakfast at a particular time which has to be pre arranged at checkin but we had to go back to our room to wait and be called to go back up as it was too busy. The girl was so lovely explaining this to us but the organisation of it was not so convenient for guests who maybe in a rush and it being in a tiny area trying to get your breakfast with people in your way. all the fruits were whole, nothing prepped to go, so took longer to prepare.

The room was small but we thought well designed for the space with the shower just outside the toilette overlooking the room and step down to the bedding area. Breakfast was upstairs on the small terrace overlooking a square and the Alcazaba up on the hill in the distance. The entrance is along a small old street, and shares it with the square, but the furnishing are very modern, clean, and well lighted with standard code or electronic key to get in. Close walking to most anyplace one might want to go in Almeria. We walked in from the bus/train station about 20 minutes. A festival was in progress the days we were there, so music late into the night and along the streets during the day. Loved the old style Spanish dresses many of the women were wearing. Staff was very helpful on all counts.

We like the window open at night, which as I remember, we couldn't open, but it may have been music in the distance those days anyway.
