Hotels near Arroyo de las Cabrillas, Marbella

1. Out of all the accommodations we stayed in during our 10-day trip to Spain, it was the most expensive but the worst 2. I paid in advance (including breakfast), but I went to check-in, but I said there was no payment, and I stood there for over 30 minutes. At this time, it was around 9:30 p.m. 3. Reservation details + card details + receipts, etc. are printed and shown. The staff tried to resolve it with the reservation company, but it didn't go well. He said he was sorry and said to go to bed, got the key and went to the room (moved by car) 4. I received two keys, but both of them opened the door. My husband got in the car and went to the front desk again to get them, but in the meantime, another one was missing. 5. I have to go to breakfast the next day, but no one contacted me to see if it was resolved or not. Since the hotel reservation company settled with the hotel, they said to go eat. 6. On the 1st day, after breakfast, they asked me to pay, and they said it was included, so they said yes. 7. On the 2nd day, I was leaving after breakfast, but the staff chased me out and asked me to pay. 8. I'm sorry when I check out, nothing to say

Fabulous hotel in a great location. Downside was the poolside music and afternoon DJs who had the same boom boom music on a loop - all day! One exception was the DJ who was accompanied by a musician playing an electric guitar. He was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I doubt the people responsible for the choice looked at the demographic of their clientele. Having stayed at both hotels this year (Ibiza & Marbella) I accept the younger residents in Ibiza would enjoy this genre of music but it now the crowd in Marbella. It certainly is SO repetitive that after 5 days I wanted to scream 'turn it off!' Apart from that we had a fabulous time!!

The location of the hotel is right next to the beach. The location is first-rate, the service is warm, the rooms are large, the facilities are complete, there are many restaurants near the hotel, and the public parking lot next to it is very convenient and highly recommended.

We stayed a week in Obal urban Hotel and we had 10/10 experience. The staff were so helpful and pleasant and the housekeeping deserve a huge shoutout! The room we got was well appointed with plenty of hotel toiletries and towels. We had the most fantastic balcony overlooking orange square. We stayed for 7 nights half board. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of selection. Maybe we wouldn’t do half board if staying for a week again as there was lots of restaurants to chose from on Marbella. The 360 bar and pool was a great addition and the cocktails were delicious! The beach was a hop skip and jump away with the beds being 18€ a day for 2 beds and umbrella! We will return for sure! Room 502 10/10!

First the negs; There were some poor electrics one socket was with wires showing and the balcony the same without light. The balcony was half fixed still no working light but no bare wires, the socket was fixed. So no balcony light. The sheets are thick and rough not light or soft and it was not nice as it was hot and I don't like to use air con but like a sheet on me. The lefts are unreliable. You can wait 5 minutes for one to take you up or down they just pass you though called and as I was on the 3rd floor and there are 7 (actually 8 as the breakfast floor is an extra floor between 0 and 1 called E) so I did not want to talk to roof terrace for pool area nor down for breakfast. My room was noisy as had a connecting door between me and the people next door no insulation from speaking at all. No coffee making facilities as no kettle or cups milk coffee tea in room. Safe needed money if wanted not self set code it was the key type and 3 euro per day which I did not want to spend so locked stuff in my case. The toilet seat moved when sat on. The shower was over bath and in the middle of the length of the bath not at the end yet they only provided a shower panel/screen to half way so you either got loads of water on floor or had to hold the shower and not have it on the holder really strange. The hand soap was horrid smelling. Breakfast was hot and miss with the eggs they usually were old. The melon likewise some days was soft on edges like out for hours or cut the day or two before. The sweet pastries were mostly mediocre and cheap tasting. I cannot comment on the meat I don't eat it. Now the pros: Location. Absolutely wonderful for beach and the old town centre and all the parks all on foot and good supermarket nearby Carrefour so no need for car. The balcony was nice for 2 people and looks down on the street with trees and birds and lovely sky at night. There are 4 free electricity sockets in the room. The reception staff are really nice and helpful and spoke good English. The roof terrace though had small pool was nice as the pool was covered and would be good off peak though unheated and there were plenty of umbrellas and loungers for use. No bar but you can buy from the bar on the floor E and take up. Wonderful sea view. They have included a long curved sloped entryway for pushchairs and wheelchair users to enter the building. The cleaning is of a high standard in the main. You get a floor clean once a week and daily bedmaking or towel changes as needed you just leave towel on floor if dirty. Plumbing very good and shower pressure and temperature hot or cold as wanted very good. I hope you find this helpful if so please vote so!

Truly wonderful hotel in the center of Marbella and the bed was really huge and very comfortable.. not to mention the swimming pool, I will definitely be back

My wife and I spent two nights at this hotel on September 1st and September 2nd. And our experience was way better than we expected. Among all the hotels in the area, this is one of the most affordable ones, and yet, they have the quality of service that most of the luxury hotels have. First, they have a parking lot, next to the hotel and it's pretty affordable per day. The hotel location is excellent, next to one of their main avenues and a few blocks away from the beach. Customer Service employees at the front desk were always nice and helpful, especially, Mr. Beltran. Regarding it's cleanliness, no complaint at all, the room was super clean and we enjoyed our stay.

This 3-star apartment hotel is better than many 4 stars hotels we have been in. The staff was kind and helpful and parking was available. Pool view from the room was nice and so was swimming in it. The room had nice furnishment and a possibility to cook for yourself. The lobby bar was also nice and pretty. Cleaning was good and the cleaning lady polite. The location was very convenient at the city center. Overall value for money was good. If we visit Marbella city center again, we will come back here!

This is a lovely old hotel in a fairly quiet location surrounded by apartment blocks and only a couple of hundred meters from the seafront. The interior, although old, looks really beautiful and the apartments have good facilities including dishwasher and washing machine. However, the hotel, in my opinion, doesn’t make the best use of what it has. The brochures state it has two bars, which it has, but only one is used which is located in the middle of the restaurant and with only a couple of large sofas and armchairs gives the place little ambience. I have to agree with other reviewers the one of the biggest let downs is the reception, particularly one of the male receptionists/ manager who seemed to treat guests like an inconvenience, there was certainly no smiles or cheery welcome, no explanation of the hotels facilities. Just a request for passports, sign here and here. The room keys were plonked on the counter and that was it. He was most certainly a graduate of the Basil Faulty school of hotel management. The decor of the is restaurant is also very nice as are the staff but we only had one meal in it and both our meals were cold and had to be returned for reheating. Sadly, on our final morning in the hotel we had a 8 am pick up and discovered there was no water in the room which turned out to be the case throughout the hotel. We had an apology, but we had to leave without being able to freshen up. The pool and pool area is very pleasant and there is no problem with availability of beds with most residents respecting the No reserving policy. As my title suggests, it could be so much better with a little effort on the part of management.

This is both on the main road near the old town are and short walk in from beach.So lots of transportation options and nice walk along the beach. It is a large lobby with shop, patio, bar and restaurant. My room was very large and the bathroom was huge. Great mattress. The TV program choices were great for Spanish speakers but almost nothing in English or French. No CNN, no BCC not Euro news. Good value and I would stay again.
