It was a great experience! The hotel was very comfortable, the staff was polite and kind, and the room was spotlessly clean. The location is brilliant—only 1-2 minutes away from the train station, from where you can reach Benalmadena in one stop and Malaga in 30-40 minutes. The room was cleaned every 3 days. The breakfasts were quite good—scrambled and boiled eggs, bacon, ham and cheese, fresh fruits, croissants, and so on. There was also a nice outdoor pool, but unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to swim because of the weather.
The only thing I can mention is that there weren't many kitchen utensils, and there was no shampoo or soap—only shower gel. Additionally, the walls were quite thin, and we could hear everything from the neighbors. But everything was great!

The hotel was literally a 1 minute walk across a quiet road from Torremule train station. I wanted a hotel close to any of the train stations along that line, this was the closest.The staff were always happy and friendly. Maria who worked on reception was very helpful and a credit to the hotel. If you want to self cater and or just want accommodation without food provided this is great.
There are no hair dryers in the rooms so you have to go to reception and ask to borrow one each time you need it. They had 2 but there was always one there. I had to wait a day to get a table and 1 chair for my balcony to sit outside. While I was there there was a group of Swedish pensioners and it seemed that everything was geared towards them. When they did water aerobics it was like old lady soup. I'm sure the pool filter will look like a grey wig has been put in it.

The location is ideal as you are just 50metres from the train station. The local trains get you between Fuengirola and Malaga and a very low price. The hotel is lovely and quiet, the staff are brilliant. Our room had its own kitchen so we made our own breakfast.
Sunbeds were very few for those with rooms away from the ground floor. They ran out of beer and it took nearly 3 days to replenish. Not a major problem as there are small convenience stores not far from the hotel or a quick run in the train to Benalmadena.

Very nice view from the room. Location is quiet, right next to the train station. In 5 minutes walk you can reach very good restaurant options (traditional-Lucena 2 and italian pizzeria-Pompei, both very good) and a smaller beach, Playa Bonita, 10 minutes walking. Beds were amazing, allowing a great rest. Very good AC and silent, it was very useful. Good pressure for water at the shower. Breakfast options were not many, but everyone could find something. We found free parking across the street. The studio has enough space and looks nice and clean. Personnel was nice.
Just small observations. The wi-fi connection was not available for two days during our stay. There is a nice balcony with a very nice view to the seaside,but no outdoor table and chairs, it would be great to be added in the future.

You were able to reserve a parking spot from the garage by paying 10 €/night. The room was light and spacious. The area and surroundings are quiet and beautiful. The beds are good. The place is really clean.
There was no furniture on the balcony, so even though the view was pretty you couldn't enjoy that much. The breakfast was too simple (just bread and toppings) and the breakfast area was too small (not enough seating for anyone if the weather doesn't allow sitting outside). The room was missing towels when we arrived. The room description says it is soundproof, but you can hear the neighbors snoring and talking. In the bathroom there is no counter space, which makes doing your make up etc. pretty hard. There wasn't any wifi in the rooms (or info about the passcode was missing).

The hotel is conveniantely located just in front of a train station, one stop away from Carvajal beach. There's an unofficial lot where you can park your car, more like a but it's hard to find a spot since it it used by the commuters who use the train station. You can see it on Google Maps street view. The room was nice, and the view from the balcony was nice too.
There seems to be a rehabilitation organization operating at the hotel, so it's a bit like staying at a very nice sanatorium. The pool is very small and it is used for exercises by the clientelle for rehabilitation, so it's not really for use by all guests. That would have been a useful information to know, since the "outdoor heated pool" was the only reason we booked this place. Breakfast was messy and not replenished or taken care of, so if something ran out that was the end. We went to eat breakfast elsewhere after check out. Next time I'd rather book somewhere else.

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. We liked the experience! The area is really nice, with a train stop just behind the hotel, so we managed to travel around. We had breakfast with fresh pastry, toasted rye bread, fruits, yogurts, and coffee. The room had an AC, and overall, it was newly renovated. The sea was 7 mins walk from the hotel, but we enjoyed staying in a quiet area, not on the actual coast, so it felt peaceful and quieter when returning to the hotel in evenings. The sea was amazing and clean!! We rented deck chairs but the beach is sandy and you can use towels also. We found a few good restaurants nearby also, 5 mins walk from the hotel. Also, a grocery store and ATM were there, too. When coming back home, we ordered a taxi though the reception, everything worked out great!
The room was cleaned every 3 days. We felt we needed it more frequently, because of sand..But you can always ask to exchange towels to clean ones earlier if needed. There were mosquitos and windows did not have nets on it, so we had to turn on AC when in the room and close all windows - I have strong headaches when using AC in summer, but we managed anyways. We did have an access to the pool but it was in total shadow unfortunately, so it was not comfortable to try it out...Our fridge did not function properly also

Nice small hotel with small pool & sun terrace. Our room 317 looked to have been recently refurbished and was clean & comfortable. Breakfast better than previous reviews suggested.
Nothing but the hotel is on quite a hill. Had an unfortunate experience on check in at 4pm, two hours after check in time. Receptionist informed us the PC was on go slow and asked us to leave it with her, have a drink in the bar and she will let us know when check in was complete. We were tired & wanted to freshen up but thought we had to just wait but then the next guest was checked in no problem at all whilst we were still waiting. Very upset and wondered why we were treated differently. We were later told receptionist was new.

Great location for train travel to explore and the trains are easy to use, regular and cheap. Don’t worry about train noise as you hardly hear them, they are noisy like in the UK. If exploring on foot it is very hilly to get to the shops, restaurants and beach and a good 10-15 min walk, but a pleasant leisurely walk. Rooms were spotless clean and bright and airy. Nice functional kitchenette, if you want to make a drink or spot of lunch. Terraced and pool area clean, bit of an echo when people are using the those areas. Plenty of hot water available, full bathroom with bath and shower. Good air con which cools the room quickly and keeps a good temperature. The balconies are great sun traps as the sun moves around. Breakfast is continental and relaxed. Staff are attentive, professional and friendly. Great stay, will definitely use again. Thank you.
Nothing. Maybe, review the furniture on the balcony and have a table to put drinks on - we used the suitcase stand which worked well.
