Just spent two weeks in this hotel. First I thought the centre location, lack of swimming pool etc. being a "not the best choice". But what is missing is not needed, all the cons turned into pros. The staff is absolutely fantastic, friendly and the service. Wow. The breakfast! Wow. Never ever have I had such a good athmosphere in a hotel in Spain and I've been to many - even 5 stars ones. Absolutely highly recommended for those, who want to have cosy, friendly, inexpensive and central place to stay in. iGracias Sophia, Antonio y Mariann!

The hotel was easy to find, just opposite Mcdonalds and is well positioned for access to San Miguel shopping and the beach. We were expecting basic and that's what we got. We wouldn't have minded but the beds were those metal folding camp beds with no support - we both had bad backs at the end of the week.

On top of that even though the hotel appeared clean I caught somthing nasty from the bedding - a skin irritation.

The breakfast was cheap and nasty but if you only want Tea and toast it would do. There is a good tapas bar round the corner called Mason de Manuel - worth a visit for a couple of Rose wines and some nibbles.

The front desk clerk woke us up at midnight (we had to be up at 6am for a flight the next morning) to tell us that the credit card we'd given when we made the reservation two months earlier had been rejected. He insisted that we come down right that minute to give him a new card. He said nothing about this when we checked in, we had been in and out of the hotel several times that evening, and I offered to give him the new card number in the morning when we checked out. He was extremely rude.

Besides that, there is no parking at this hotel--the closest lot is two blocks away and costs 7 euros every 24 hours with validation by the hotel.

The amenities of the hotel itself are adequate, nothing spectacular, which is what we were expecting. It's about a 15 minute walk from the beach down a steep and winding pedestrian walkway.

My husband and I have just spent a week here from 31st Dec till 7th Jan. We found the hotel more than adequate for the price we paid which was only £234 for half board between us. OK its not the "Ritz" but we didnt pay that much. The room was basic, but clean and spacious,the staff lovely,food OK. In a perfect position right by Saint Miguel Street. There is a lift down to sea level which operates from 9am to 9pm. Cut through a side alley on left down St Miguel St just before Cina Town Restaurant. when you come out of lift go down steps and just follow road down to prom which is the length of Torremolinos left and right, its a nice walk especially towards Benelmadena port. Anyway try this hotel if you can get a bargain.
