Cari Istana di Benalmádena

"We found out that some units had in-suite laundry and others didn’t. We ended up in a unit without laundry so we had to pay €10.50 for wash wash&dry. They also charge for extra coffee filters, dishwasher tabs, sauna, steam room, pool towels and require the use of a bathing cap in the indoor pool and jacuzzi which, of course, they sold to you. Given the size of the resort and the cost for the rental unit, it just felt like they were grabbing extra money every time we asked a question. They...

"Hard to get in the hotel, can’t be more than 2 starts."

"We liked the location, the deck, pretty good bathroom and overall room size was good. The bed and pillows were very old and should be replaced. Our room had a really bright light above the door that couldn't turn off, so that isn't great for those liking dark rooms to sleep in. Parking is bad on site, and very tight, best to park in the larger parking lot 8 min walk from the hotel. Friendly staff and it's not bad for a night but I wouldn't personally stay here longer than that"

"All rooms are very clean. Every room faces the ocean, and you can enjoy the views from your own balcony. Or, enjoy the view from the lobby area, the bar or the bar terrace. Plenty of amenities, to include 2 pools, hot tub, fitness. And, the staff is no less than wonderful."

"Amazing stay- lovely hotel"

"Loved the property!! There’s a pub right across the street where we sang karaoke with the locals. Wish it was closer to the water but then we wouldn’t have met all the awesome locals. It was a short 10 minute Uber to the water."

"Très propre et bien insonorisée. Cuisine très bien équipée. On nous a accommodé de pouvoir aller relaxer à la piscine en attendant que notre chambre soit prête. J’avais fait ma réservation en avril et demandé d’avoir une chambre côté piscine . Nous avons eu du côté de la rue. Notre terrasse était trop bruyante"

"It was great spacious room, good and helpful people who make a true and not forgivin holiday. Good breakfasts &dinner. It is real pearl,we are thankfully for this boutique hotel. It is make our holiday..."

"All staff very helpful and knowledgeable, hotel and rooms kept to a high standard. Information at the reception for the area is excellent and the staff very welcoming."

"This hotel can’t be more than one star, so dirty, very bad food, nothing is good in the hotel."

"Really enjoyed my stay."

"It was clean, easy to check in by phone, close to the bus stop and charming surroundings."

"The hotel is ok. The spa is nice but there is no steam room only a sauna. The hot tub is used by the kids as well which is not great. Staff helpful and very kind. Food is not great. Buffet is boring and the taste is not always ok. Location is very good."

"Hotel is quite dated, we paid for a premium room however you don't receive much for this. The nice sunbeds and pool as pictured is an additional €15 and €25 which isn't detailed anywhere. The grounds and pool are good but need better maintenance. The room was a bit tatty. Depends what you pay however I would expect a 3* more so than a 4* as advertised"

"Great"

"At de havde køkkenet"

"Location to Coast was the real positive with 2 small balconies and the large room sizes. However there were some issues. Hot water ran out very quickly and did not get warm again that night with 3 of us still requiring showers, even after waiting. Maintenance only came following morning around 10am by which time the water had warmed up again. The decor and bathrooms are quite dated and need refurbishing. There was peeling paint in bath and the shower holder was loose so shower head kept...

"What an excellent option minutes from the airport! Excellent service and excellent location"
