Positives - location, on the front, opposite the marina and close to the many bars and restaurants of Fuengirola. Maids make up your room daily. There ends the positives. The exterior of the hotel looks like an Eastern European cold war tower block. Inside the reception area is light and airy if not garish and sterile. However, you don’t have to look too far to see the cracks. Crumbling plaster, threadbare stained carpets, dated decor and a general feel of apathy from the hotel management. The reception staff were at best ambivalent and at worse dismissive and arrogant. The apathetic theme continues into the restaurant with unhelpful staff and the same garish, sterile lighting contributing to a feel of eating in a staff canteen. The food was average at best. The bedroom was an average size but doesn’t look to have been updated for 30 years or more. If you are unlucky enough to have a room at the back of the hotel, the view is as bad as I have seen. It consists of a car park, skips, outbuildings in a state of disrepair and a building site. Talking of which, the hotel that is being built right next door will take many months to complete and you will be woken at 07.30 every morning by banging, drilling and shouting. The whole pool area is dilapidated and needs a complete overhaul. I have never seen anyone up there. If this hotel is 4 stars then the Ibis I stopped in last month was 15 stars. I have been coming to Spain for 40 years and this was like a step back in time to when us brits were easily pleased and just happy to be abroad. Times have changed, customers have much more choice and next time I will choose to stay elsewhere.

This had to be the worst hotel I’ve ever set foot in, and I don’t know we’re to start. Our room was dirty and smelly, the view from the balcony (see photo) wouldn’t look out of place in a war zone. The noise was horrendous. Carpets were thread bare. Walls had plaster falling off. Electric sockets were loose. Walked out of breakfast after 5 minutes, liquid scrambled egg, hard bread and after a waiter threw cutlery at me whilst I was sat at the table having cold coffee. How for the life of me is this rated 4 star. Please avoid, I’d rather have taken a tent and stayed on the beach.

The photos of the advertisement are not real. The hotel is in poor condition. depreciated, unmaintained. very noisy. There are several discos around it, and the pool bar is open until 3-4 in the morning. The air conditioners do not work. The food is of poor quality. THERE ARE COCKROACHES.

Hotel is actually in fuengerola not torramolenos as OTB . Room was fine view disappointing. Maid service was very good . Food acceptable best burgers I've ever had . Reception staff do best to help. There's a mini market nxt door if you need anything and nearest bar 20meters away. The pool is open 11-7 prompt. Only down side is there is building works happening on opposite side of the carpark hotel. From 8-6 mostly banging but tolerable. Staff friendly and helpful.
