“DO NOT STAY HERE!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Well! What can I say??? Lets start with the positive... the room was nice and clean and the maid service was good. Great location. As for the rest, I can honestly say I have never seen or tasted such awful food in all my life! It wasn't cooked properly, it was stone cold and after skipping luch (as we couldn't face it anymore) we were served a mouldy cheese sandwich as a snack. After complaining we didn't even get an apology, in fact we were told there was a mcrowave to heat up our food! Hardly any of the staff could speak English, either that or they pretended not to so they didn't have to serve us or answer any questions! We lived on bread, chips and pasta and ate out alot, which is annoying as we were all inclusive.I am appauled at the rudeness of the staff and the poor quality of the food, it ruined our holiday and I would never stay in this hotel again!!!

“disgraceful”

unfit for purpose never heard of fresh bread, one morning found packet of bread on the servery with thick black mould , offered a bottle of wine as hush money.

No entertainment, no fridge in room, no English T>V., no English spoken by waiters,,unsafe electrical swich hangin of wall. One night we were the only people in the whole hotel. Food was not cooked in the hotel but brought in by a van, unloaded before 7 p.m. for dinner between 7.30 and 10p.m consequently impossible to get a hot meal. the f ood was below inferior quality.
access to the hotel was 400 yards from the main road leaving an uphill walk for the last 100 yards.
Never again------- beware you are warned.

“do not stay here if you have not booked already.”

Where to start ............!
Hotel was allocated on arrival from co.op holidays.
We booked for torremolinos and got changed 3 days before we were due to go.
Hotel was very poor to say the least !
Three hotels in total with this Summa Los Pintores hotel range. When we stayed only this hotel was open so we were stuck with this. The only plus side was that the hotel room was clean, as was the bed. The room was tatty and the balcony was small. The bathroom was very very smelly and you could not sit properly on the loo because there was less than a foot WIDTH between the loo and the bidet. There was NO entertainment at all at this hotel while we were there. There was no bar just a cafeteria which when we went it had no-one manning it at all. I complained about entertainment and was told "do you not want to go down the road"? When I said "what to the other hotels" I was told no they are not open- they meant the town. Food was very very poor. Concrete was falling off the balconys and was roped off. There was only 11 or 12 sun beds to service the whole hotel and most of those were broken. Sun area was unkempt and shower area tiles were broken. This is one of the most worst hotels I have ever stayed in.

The summa hotel group have three hotels Goya, Velazquez und Greco.s all within 50 meters of each other called Los Pintores Hotel
My wife and I stayed in this hotel Greco for one week. It looked shabby on outside very dated on inside. TOO QUIET. We are both 52 years of age. This is a hotel for low budget holidays 2 star maybe.
Breakfast -very limited did not cater for vegetarians not that we are limited choice but tasteless
Room - Comfortable. Towels changed every day. Shower very poor with lukewarm water anytime we took a shower.
Noise - Can hear every movement from your room. Not a great night’s sleep
Staff - Ok but with very little English
Pool – very small little area for sun beds only saw six maybe 8
Overall feel - No atmosphere at all. Just came back there to sleep.
Entertainment - OAP style in SPANISH
Balcony - Tiny overlooking another hotel -- no scenic view whatsoever apart from a little of the sea.
TV - Spanish. Didn’t watch it all week but no choice like other hotels in area
At least 1500 meters from sea in residential area

“don't listen to what people say”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2009

people describe this hotel as one of the worst, I was not expecting much but was pleasantly suprised upon arrival. Rooms were nice bathroom was fine we had a balcony and air conditioning. The breakfast was ok, lots of bread so you can always have toast. not far from the beach few minute walk, the hotel is on a slight hill but it is at the very foot of it so its not too bad. The bus stop is a 5 min walk away that can take you to the marina which I recommend 1.20 euro on the bus we went nearly every night. the area is nice lots of bars and restaurants to try. Overall a very good holiday
