“Won't be going back”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is clean and tidy and good value for money. The room we had could do with an update, bath was badly marked and fittings basic, but that was ok with us for the money we paid. Breakfast is adequate . We had fried egg on toast every day for 3 weeks, a grilled tomato would have been nice. There was baked beans and Spanish bacon and sausage on offer but not to our taste, but thats our fault. Staff are friendly. However, the 3 weeks we were there, there were large parties of Spanish Seniors staying and the hotel was mainly based around their stay. The noise from them was totally unacceptable. Banging doors all evening, TV's and talking can be heard through the thin walls. And after their 'entertainment' ended around midnight, they would shout on the corridors and from room to room to their friends and again the door banging kept us awake. When the group were in the foyer/lounge area conversation was impossible with the racket they made. If the hotel wants to cater for Spanish elderly parties, then they should stick with that and not disrupt ordinary holidaymakers like us, although we are British Senior Citizens, we have the courtesy to behave and consider other guests. Maybe they have these senior holidays during November only, I dont know, but we certainly wont be going back., so make sure to check before booking. Three years ago when visiting Nerja and staying in a different hotel, there used to be a nice cafe bar next to the Jimesol and can still be accessed via the hotel, it had a really good ambience and we enjoyed some nice meals there, but now its been turned into Bar Number 6, with live music and wide screen TV, and whilst the English staff are friendly, again, not our cup of tea either. Sadly, lots of broken pavement tiles and dog dirt in Nerja, not the best with managing a wheelchair, and quite a few more empty shops this time, . Some nice parts still and definitely recommended is a bus ride for 1 euro each way to Frigliana, lovely mountain top village. Thankfully the weather was good for most of the 3 week holiday.

“Basic clean hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

people found this review helpful

This was a very clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff but was let down by the food. The flavours were good but most of it was lukewarm. After a few nights of this (breakfast was a little better) we ended up eating out making our bargain holiday dearer than expected. Even though we went into the restaurent as soon as the doors opened the food was still not hot. I even read a review on here saying the same and this was several years ago! Choose this hotel for bed and breakfast and enjoy the many good and varied restaurents that Nerja has. The hotel Jacuzzi was no longer available, not a problem for us but thought I should mention it. Also if you want a snack or a drink there is a corridor by the side of the restaurent and behind reception ( where the Internet access is situated) which if you follow it down it leads into Numero 6 Bar, which is actually part of the hotel.

person found this review helpful

Just returned from a 4 night stay .
Rely nice hotel with a Spanish feel
The hotel is very well kept and makes you feel welcome ,the staff are very helpful and accommodating.
Rooms are of a nice size but no Coffee making facility.
The location is great for all sites of Nerja close to beach and Balcon de Europe.
We stayed half board the food was a nice standard but very spanish in style,
breakfast is great full English.
The hotel has a beautiful sun solarium with a small dip pool great for relaxing.
I would definatly stay again when in the area .

Room Tip: Ask for a balcony some rooms do not have them

“Clean,simple and good value hotel in decent location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We arrived in Nerja at 10:30pm at night looking for a hotel with no knowledge of the area. We ended up checking into the Jimesol initially for 2 nights but ended up staying for 4. The hotel is clean and tidy and the staff are very helpful.

The location is the real plus with this hotel. In the dark we had no idea where we were, in the morning we realised how handy it was. 5 min walk to the old town, the beach and the majority of the bars restaurants near the sea.

The Jimesol is not a memerable hotel, but if you want a clean,tidy and cheap base to explore Nerja, it's a good option.

“Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

myself and 2 friends have just spent 4 nights here on B & B basis and really enjoyed it - first night was rather noisy due to the vicinity of the hotel to the Tutti Frutti area - but once we closed the window and turned air con on everything was fine - would ask for a room at the back with a balcony next time though as no where to hang towels and wet beach wear. Hotel ideally placed - easy walking distance to beach, and Balcon, and the larger Burriana beach was not too far once you knew the short cut( head for Allsorts sweet shop at the Balcon and just walk for 10 mins). Hotel clean, maid service fine, reception friendly and helpful - all in all would reccomend and would stay here again. Only negative was breakfast ( which was good for choice with some continental and some english options) was cold and as we were the first in one morning due to an early departure it should have been hot
