Hotel El Faro Marbella does exactly what it says on the tin, it’s centrally located and extremely close to the beach and old town. Rooms are big, clean, and the beds are comfortable. Air-con working and lots of hot water. Staff friendly and efficient. Good value, especially in Marbella!

Some aspects of the interior are a little tired. Could be noisy at times, but I still slept well.

Excellent location. It was near and walking distance to everything :) Hotel has a parking garage with 8 places, but it was quite small, so if you don't have a small car, check first. Pool area was OK.

We had a room on street side, which was quite noisy, with traffic and a few pubs/restaurants. Pool side is probably less noisy in night. Not enough stuff in kitchen. Needs cutting board, dish brush, washing-up liquid. No gear to make you own coffee, unless waterboiler and nescafe is enough for you. No toilet brush in bathroom. All "views" mentioned in room descriptions are a bit misleading. In total, all "views" exists at hotel, but some rooms seems too have too many "views" listed.

Great location. Staff excellent. Very large room. Requested duvet in advance and was supplied as requested. Free welcome drinks a nice gesture.

Not one English channel available. Over 50 channels available in all languages except English. All sun loungers need to be replaced as nearly all beds had damaged/ badly worn fabric. Pool area is tired and news upgrade.

We paid under 70€ for one night at this aparthotel, so we weren't expecting too much. It utterly exceeded our expectations. We had a comfy queen size bed (rare in Spain, in our experience), a large room, with a small kitchen with hob, microwave, fridge etc. It was super quiet - no squeaky floorboards, no banging doors or lifts. The location was great for us with a little Italian wine bar two doors down, and a little Thai Kitchen just across the road ( we didn't try that this time, but will next time!) we were also right in the middle of lots of bars and restaurants, which were very easily walkable. We will be back!

Teeny negative was the shower wasn't very powerful, but still perfectly fine. Parking with a big car was tricky, but now we understand how to use the app to pay, so will be easier next time.

The room was a very good size with lots of natural lights from the balcony windows. The location was central and on a nice side road. The back area with the chairs was nice and relaxing.

The bathroom was a little small. The corridors require you to manually press a timed light - would be nicer if this was automatic (i.e. motion sensitive).

Very well located in the city, close to the beach and center of Marbella. Room and hotel looks exactly like the pictures! Staff was very helpful and kind!

Felt disturbed during the nights, other visitors in rooms next door were loud during night. You hear a lot of noises from outside the building as well as from other guests rooms. Didn’t feel properly clean, there was a bug in the fridge and the air conditioner leaked water. On the other hand, this was maintained almost immediately after reporting to the staff!

Didn't have breakfast with the hotel. We ate in our room out on the balcony. Location is perfect for the beach/promenade and orange square. Room is ideal should you want to eat in your room. Electric hob, fridge, Microwave, kettle, little kitchen area, Large TV, Usual pots, plates, cups and cutlery. Cleaned thoroughly everyday by the maid. Staff are so pleasant and welcoming.

No issues what so ever. That's why my wife and I have been staying here for nearly ten years running.

My wife have been going to El faro hotel for the last 6 vacations. Everything is right. Location ie 2 minute walk to the promenade where all the bars and restaurants are and 10 minute walk the other direction for Orange square. More bars and restaurants along with local stores among the narrow streets.

If i was to pick a negative. It would be the apartments are a little tired, however, everything still in good order. Just a lick of paint and slight upgrade. This didn't deter or hinder our stay there. We loved it and the staff are five star.

Very close to the old town and central Marbella, but also close the the beach, ppssibly the best location in Marbella for a hotel. Really comfortable, friendly, clean and attentive when you want them to be. As you can gather, yes, i will definitely stay there again and i am passing that message on.

Location was amazing, 2 minute stroll to the beachfront and 10 minute walk to the Old Town. Room far exceeded my expectations, it was far better than some 4* hotels I've stayed in Spain before. The staff were great, couldn't be more helpful or friendly. Would rush back here if I visit the region again.

Some aspects of the room was a little rough around the edges but it still exceeded my expectations. Wouldn't take much would to bring the hotel up to a 4*
