tent Torremolinos

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed my stay. Love the location. Easy access to shops, transport, restaurants etc. Its a nice and clean hotel. Good range of breakfast options, good wifi speed, and I particularly loved the balcony for afternoon light reading and watching the city go by. Air condition worked in the room and good thing too cos it was hot. Wish there was a fridge but not a big issue as there is a tuck shop just outside the hotel where you can get your cold drinks. I will be coming back here to this hotel if I visit Malaga, Spain again. "

Hotel El Faro Marbella

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel El Faro in Marbella is all about location. Just one block from the beach and right next to the old lighthouse and the Duque de Ahumada promenade, it puts you within easy walking distance of vendors, shops, and restaurants—perfect for enjoying everything the area has to offer. The hotel itself is a bit dated in terms of furniture and appliances, but everything was clean and functioned well. My room had a small kitchen equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, stove, microwave, sink, cookware, and utensils, which made it very convenient for a longer stay. The beds were a little firm for my preference, but overall, the stay was comfortable and pleasant. If you're prioritizing location and value, Hotel El Faro is a solid choice. I would consider staying here again and recommend it to travelers who want to be close to the beach at a reasonable price."
