Overall excellent value for money nowadays. The staff were always helpful. Check in was a couple of minutes. Room facilities were good. Comfortable room, like a small apartment. Beds on the hard side, no big deal. Location is about 75/80 minute walk to marina. But it's an easy scenic walk. If you know the area, you would probably cover that distance normally anyway. Train is right outside the hotel but the trains are electric/hybrid, so you don't really hear them. Wifi was solid. There's space by the pool to enjoy the sun. Around €10 in an uber/taxi to Marina. I'm using Marina as a reference point. Torremolinos about €12-13, Fuengirola centre about €10. So if all you want to do is walk around town and the beach, there's no need to hire a car. Even though the hotel is well out of the town centre, it's cheaper to take the train (door to door, from airport to hotel) and depend on taxis to get around. Or the bus at the bottom of the hill (6-7 min walk).
There wasn't much cutlery but if you clean as you go its never an issue. Longish walk into town, not necessarily a bad thing. Some balconies are shaded for much of the day. Some people like that, some don't. We spent most of our time out and about.

Excellent value for the money. The room is spacious, the location of the hotel was great, and the staff are friendly. It's right in front of the train station. The area is also peaceful and quiet. The parking can be difficult if you come by car, but usually there will be free parking space at night.
The breakfast is kinda basic but I won't complain much for the price

Good breakfast, although not a lot of options. Friendly staff. Next to train station, easy to reach Malaga and other coastal towns.
Bathrooms could be nicer. There is a parking just in front of the hotel, but it is supposed to be for the train station. I am not sure how easy it is to park in the high season.

Friendly, kind, helpful and well willing crew … in general a pleasant familiar atmosphere. Proximity to train/bus; and overall calm area (with a gentle peak through entry and exit of nearby British College)
The building in general is softly crying for a proper maintenance and/or appreciative renovation. From small things like door locks, window locks, to larger aspects like the outdated wall structure (it’s only from mutual respect between guests that silence is imminent in the rooms) In general the hotel has a lot more potential and possibility than it accredits for today. It would be a pity to see time win the reciprocal competition.

A lovely place to return to every time. Joyful crew of staff; pleasant and peaceful area; accessible with public transport (train Fuengirola-Málaga stops in front) and spacious studios with all amenities for a perfect stay.
A little surprised every time to see a new team of hotel staff again and again; the small details of checking if the soap dispenser works and is filled are precious details that residents appreciate; and for future reference when there is choice of room it might be pleasurable if recurring residents get to state their preferred side and/or floor.

Stayed here on our last night of holidays due to the good value for money and the close proximity to the train station. We went into Arroya de Miel for dinner on the train which is only one stop away. It was also really peaceful sitting on the balcony. We liked it so much we are returning for 4 nights in July
It was at the top of a hill and could be difficult for people with poor mobility if they wanted to walk down to seafront. It was the same if you wanted to go to supermarket although I did get some groceries delivered

Great place to relax for a few days, our apartment had sea views and a nice little balcony. Staff are friendly and helpful and it was easy to add private parking to our booking on arrival.
Breakfast was ok although they could do more to keep the bacon and eggs hot, mine was cold and it was nowhere near the end of breakfast hours.

I like where the hotel is situated, it is great having the train station on the doorstep to visit different places. Staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean, breakfast was basic but nice. Have been to this hotel 8 times and will definitely be back for a 9th 😃

Breakfast was fine, plenty of choice although main room was chilly due to draughts. Room was great, with balcony. Could park for free nearby.
Charged more than I had agreed previously. No dishcloths/tea towels or washing up liquid.
