The boss of the hotel does not speak english at all,and he works himself at the reception almost daily,so it was quite hard to ask anything from him,since I don't speak good Spanish at all... The younger workers did speak english though..
Location itself is quite good,eventho it can be a bit confusing especially if you're visiting Torremolinos for the first time,but you will get over with it in some days. ;)
What I didn't like is,my hotel room terrace was onto the outside side of the hotel,where you can see the sea etc. due to the constant noise from people/cars during nights (especially during weekends),and I'm an allergic person on some flowers/tree's when they're "seeding".
And this is very bad if you get the room on the sea-view side of the hotel.
Everytime I would go on the balcony,my nose would start to bleed immediately and I would be sneezing all the time,as long as I'd stay on the balcony..
Must have had something to do with the big trees etc. you see growing there,because the moment I went inside and left outside to go to shopping/beach,my allergic reactions stopped almost immediately...
A pity,since I really wanted to enjoy my breakfast on the balcony. :)
Else nothing bad to say about this hotel,but I was surprised sometimes at night time,when
you'd return to the hotel you wouldn't see anyone behind the reception at all (anyone could go in,and sneak around) and at other times the reception workers were sitting on a sofa,watching tv..
So make sure to book that safety locker on this hotel,eventho it costs a bit too much in my opinion.

Oh,one BIG DISADVANTAGE is... Be advised...
You will only get ONE key for your hotel room,no matter how many persons.

I got one day locked inside,as my friend has left earlier in the morning outside to walk around (with the room key on him),and the cleaners came.. they somehow double-locked the door when they left,and I couldn't open the door from inside..
Calling the reception was pointless since there was this "no habla ingles" guy working. :)
Instead I phoned my friend whom came and unlocked me out. :P

It is very basic accomodation, but it provides you with everything you need and the price is more than reasonable. Our room was on 7th floor and we had nice sea view from our balcony. The location is very comfortable for the beach and for the town centre too. The staff was nice and friendly, but the night staff did not speak any English. Would recommed and would return.

Apartments strongly advisable because of the quality / price ratio. Nice Room Service at the reception, who was very helpful and honest. Rooms cleaned every two days (including changing towels). Complimentary wireless internet access and a pretty good view from balcony.
Location close to downtown and the beach is about 10-15min walk. Kitchenette equipped with everything you need (fridge, cooker, microwave, coffee maker, crockery and cutlery). A small pool at the hotel is not always in the sun, but enough to cool off and get some tan. Generally speaking: for this price for a family getaway I can confidently recommend this location. This is not a luxury hotel on the beach, but with intensive stay in Andalusia quite enough:) I'm really satisfied!

Apartamenty zdecydowanie godne polecenia ze względu na jakość/cena. Miła całodobowa obsługa w recepcji, która była bardzo pomocna i rzetelna. Pokoje sprzątane co 2 dni (także wymiana ręczników). Na plus warto dodać bezpłatny internet bezprzewodowy i całkiem niezły widok jeśli chodzi o Torremolinos. Blisko do centrum i na plażę ok.10-15min piechotą. Aneks kuchenny wyposażony we wszystko co potrzebne (lodówka, elektryczna kuchenka, kuchenka mikrofalowa, ekspres do kawy, naczynia i sztućce). Basenik przy hotelu mały i nie zawsze na słońcu, ale wystarczający żeby się ochłodzić i trochę opalić. Jednym słowem za taką cenę na wypad rodzinny śmiało można polecać tę lokalizację. Nie jest to luksusowy hotel na plaży, ale przy intensywnym pobycie w Andaluzji zupełnie wystarczy :) Jestem zadowolony!

Just come back from El Velero apartments and thought I'd write a review as there is a few bad ones.I couldn't really fault the room for what I paid, it was very clean, spacious and well equipped.The kitchen has kettle, toaster, coffee maker,microwave and two electric rings. The freezer easily froze water. There was enough pots and pans if you wanted to cook your own food. The beds were comfortable and had extra pillows if needed.There was plenty of storage and hanging space for clothes.The shower was also very good not a little trickle but quite powerful.I would have preferred to be on bottom level of torremolinos as the walk up and down the steps everyday to the beach is quite exhausting although there is a lift for 50 cents well worth it going back up! You have to go to beach as there is no sun on the pool and its only small.The sunbeds on beach expensive 4.50 euros per bed.All in all enjoyed my stay and thought they were very good two star apartments I've been in 3 and 4 stars that were not as nice as these.The apartments are just a short walk to all the nice shops,bars,cafes and the square.I really don't know what some people want from their accommodation but these are great as a base. How much time do you want to spend in your room, you're on holiday go out and enjoy it !
