Torremolinos
It is located in Torremolinos, just 100 meters from one of the most charming beaches of the Costa del Sol, La Carihuela. Also nearby are attractions such as the Synagogue of Torremolinos and Plaza de Toros de Torremolinos. Establishment recommended for adults looking enjoying a pleasant stay and full of luxury in Torremolinos. It is one of the first hotels built on the Costa del Sol, hosting since then to both renowned artists and personalities of great prestige nationally and internationally. Renovated in 2012 with the greatest care, with a cosmopolitan style, which makes it the most exclusive hotel in Torremolinos. Rooms are bright, comfortable and well equipped, make the hotel an ideal place for leisure travel or business. Guests can use the wifi internet access

Location is excellent. Only 50m from the beach. The hotel is small. The rooms are clean. If u are looking for a basic hotel at the beach this is good bet.
The main negative I would have is coffee pod was not topped up.
The pool area is not going to

Good location in Torremolinos
Although officially rated as a 4-star hotel, I would personally consider it to be more of an average 3-star hotel. The hotel is in a good location, just a few minutes’ walk from Carihuela Beach in Torremolinos. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful, including when we needed assistance arranging a rental car. There is a great selection of restaurants, cafés and shops in the surrounding area, and the neighbourhood is lively and enjoyable, making it a pleasant place to stay. The hotel has a decent swimming pool and sunbathing area. The breakfast was perfectly adequate, although nothing particularly special. The rooms were simple and reasonably clean, but the furniture and facilities are beginning to show their age and would benefit from renovation. Overall, this is a decent hotel in a good location in Torremolinos, particularly if you want to be close to Carihuela Beach and the lively atmosphere of the area.

Is ok for a base to sleep
Stayed at this hotel for a week, rooms were basic and clean enough, Location was good, staff were pleasant, only went to the pool once as very small area and no atmosphere or music, never had breakfast so cannot comment we ended up going to the beach everyday. There is a roof top terrace on floor 4 but again very quite and cameras watching you. We stayed at the Carmen Teressa hotel last year only the next street up and would 100% recommend this instead.
Excellent place to stay
Just back from a lovely Mon-Fri at the hotel. Absolutely lovely staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Rodrigo and Belen, who kindly put up with my attempts to speak Spanish with them (as well as sorting me out with extra pillows and making amazing piña coladas). The room was clean, tidy and in a good state of repair. Small, but big enough for us. First time staying in a boutique-style, adults only hotel. Pool is small, but a great temperature (the size isn’t an issue when you aren’t dodging inflatables or pool noodles!). I’ve seen a few reviews that mentioned having to chase the sun around the pool area throughout the day, but I see that as a feature rather than a bug - you could always get the right balance of sun and shade.
Highly recommended, extremely clean hotel
Really liked this hotel. We got an amazing deal, paying very little for our 2 night stay with breakfast. The hotel reception and bar smell gorgeous, like coconut fragrance. Staff are super helpful and friendly. The pool is small but perfect for the small number of rooms. The pool is salt water, heated by the sun. The jacuzzi is FREEZING cold, as its in the shade all day and isnt heated. Pleanty of loungers with clean thick cushions on. The bar sells chocolate, crisps and other snacks, prices are fair. Lounger towels are large and thick and can be hired for a fully returnable deposit, making them free. I removed a star due to the breakfast being a little disappointing. Food is warm, not hot. Cooked breakfast is a small disappointing choice. The toaster was great, huge and fast. Juice is made from concentrate not fresh, but it was ok. Loads of cereal. The restaurant has uk branded ketchup, and a good selection of butter and bread, which was lovely and fresh. Hotel decor is modern and very nice, room towels were fresh, very clean, replaced daily. There was shampoo/ shower gel and soap in our room. The hotel has several lovely outdoor seating terraces with lovely furnishings. Toilets in shared areas very clean. The waterfall in the pool only switches on for 10 min every hour or more. One negative: Although the hotel details advertise coffee making facilities in rooms, and rooms have a nice coffee making machine, the hotel refuse to give out more than one coffee pod per person per 24 hours. Because theres no kettle and you cant purchase the pods, this means theres actually only facilities once every 24 hours in your room, but the bar sell coffee, and theres a fantastic coffee machibe in the breakfast dining room. The dining room is small but extremely clean. Overall I would recommend this hotel, we had a lovely stay. Probably the cleanest hotel ive stayed in. Staff were lovely.
Recommendations for the hotel: ☆ Provide 2 coffee pods per person per day. ☆ Extend your hot food breakfast selection. ☆ Increase from 5 clothes hangers to 10 per room
