"We spent 4 days in this hotel in mid-October 2025. We already knew where the hotel was located and aware it was a 15 minute walk to the centre of Nerja. There is a bus stop beside the supermarket over the road (Carrefour). There is another Mercadona supermarket just up the road on the left hand side. I seen people complain about the location, but as I did research before booking! We walked in most days and walked back, it allowed us to burn off our food and drinks 😀
Hotel - Yes, it is dated and could do with an upgrade and a lick of paint. Some wear and tear, but it did not spoil our holiday.
Reception - Check-in was very easy and we were assisted by a female who was polite and helpful. We had to wait 20 minutes for our room (it was ready at 3pm). We had to pay 30 euros for the safe in the room, and received 20 euros when we booked at. We had no issue with this. We checked out prior to 12 pm on our last day. The receptionist also gave us towels and we had a shower prior to our taxi collecting us.
Room - We were allocated room 308. It was on the third floor with a beautiful but small balcony. It was big enough for two and we used it throughout our stay. It also had a brilliant view of Nerja and the sea. It also overlooked the pool and good for people watching. Yes the room was dated and the sliding wardrobe doors were a pain. The beds were hard, there was a fridge, which was handy for the beers. The bathroom was dated, however the shower was brilliant with some force. Stayed in may hotels over the years and this was the best pressure I have ever witnessed.
Breakfast - The breakfast/evening meal room was on the bottom floor and easy to find. Remember and bring your check-in paperwork or you will not be allowed in. It was a large room and plenty of food on offer, for example usual cooked breakfast, fruit, porridge etc. Please note there is a microwave to heat up porridge as it was always cold. Could not fault breakfast.
Evening meal room - We were only bed and breakfast so can comment on the evening meal, however it was a different theme each night.
Pool - The pool was big enough for the guests. Yes, the sun beds need upgrading, but again did not detract from our experience. There were plenty of sun beds, but as usual people throw on their towel and disappear - selfish! A word of warning be careful of the umbrellas when we were there a huge wind got up and as it was not attached is blew onto to my partner. She was not injured, but it did startle her. Perhaps if there was a clip on the umbrella this may have prevented this happening. Shout to the folks who asked out for her and made sure she was okay. Hope you read this, so thanks 😀 By the way there is no pool attendant.
Activities - We have stayed in Nerja before, so we are well acquainted with the centre. We had a lovely meal in Mum restaurant (Indian) and the ice cream shops just around the corner was loved as always. We had tapas in redondos, it was great. You order a drink and get tapas at the same time. We will definitely be back. We also had an Italian just off the Balcon de Europa which was excellent, can’t remember the name, but beside the ice cream shops. We went to frigiliana and caught the bus, it is located at the third roundabout on the way down and to the right. It was 15 minutes to get there. Word of caution be prepared to be rude and push when the bus arrives! Spent a lovely day in the village, beautiful shops and lovely views. We have been to the caves before, but worth a visit and the beaches on the front.
Conclusion - We had a lovely time, we did not pay that much for 4 nights. It is not the Ritz and yes it could do with an upgrade. Yes it is a walk to the centre, but do your research. There are restaurants nearby, we ate in Yuan (not impressed) and La Pescia (it was good). It would save you a walk into to the centre, however Nerja is lovely and vibrant at night.
We would not return, we never go to the same place twice. Don’t worry about the moaners, you will have a nice time.
Enjoy - Steve and Linda 😎"
