Hotels near Centre historique, Marbella

Really lovely hotel, the outside did not do the inside justice. Lovely, warm welcoming staff, clean rooms with a fantastic hot powerful shower!!! I would recommend and would stay here again.

Marbella is a very good hotel. It's a 5-minute walk from the beach and a 20-minute walk from the central area. It doesn't feel far away when you walk around and take pictures. The hotel environment is very beautiful. The gardens, swimming pools, and walkways are all very atmospheric. The rooms The furnishings are simple and shabby. The breakfast is very good. I bought food in the supermarket for dinner. The hotel also delivered tableware. It is very nice. The booked price includes 2400 per day early

This hotel does a really good job of capturing the “Hard Rock” vibe so if you’re into that you’ll enjoy your stay at this property. Lots of memorabilia dotted around, great music and some lovely touches around the hotel. We stayed in a deluxe room which was small but furnished to a good standard with a very comfy bed. Bathroom was well equipped and the balcony was a decent size. Jukebox feature on the TV is excellent and allows you to get the party started before you go out or continue it after hours in your room. Having YouTube on the TV is handy too. The pools were good, there’s 2 pretty large ones and they look great during the day and night. The rooftop deck is quite chilled, it has a bar and an infinity pool with beds to suit everyone really, lots of variety so standard cushioned beds and lower body shaped beds. There are several “Bali beds” that come with a 150 Euro minimum spend. Sounds like alot but the food & drink isn’t cheap so can be done relatively easily if you plan to stay at the pool all day and have lunch. The pools are shallow but a good size and the infinity pool offers a brilliant view over the second pool area. The second pool area features a stage and DJ booth at the top of the pool and is louder. The pool parties that Hard Rock offer are held here during the day as well so bear that in mind when selecting your bed. There is an “Eden Cafe” in this area offering burgers and the like during the day and the main “Sessions” restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner too if you book half board. We booked bed & breakfast so didn’t eat dinner at the property. We did have lunch on our first afternoon at the Eden cafe and it was very good. The breakfast offers an excellent selection & its tasty. They also have a musicians playing a different instrument each day on the outdoor terrace which is a nice touch. The bar area in the lobby lacks atmosphere and is a little on the slow side to get a drink. The cocktails are good though and its worthwhile having a drink there, especially if a live band is on. Service at the hotel was very good overall and we very much enjoyed our stay. The bellhops in particular are excellent. They provided us with a “courtesy room” on checkout day (we had a late flight) which was a nice touch after having checked out already and been out all day. The location of the hotel was further out than we thought and required you to either walk through a large, unkept subway or walk down narrow busy roads with several hills. The subway route is best and takes around 15 mins to Porto Banus but is not ideal at night. We had no issues and saw no undesirables but I do think Hard Rock could do more to make that subway more inviting (clean it, add their branding, have music playing etc). I don’t think they own it but perhaps they should take ownership of how it looks at the very least as it could quite easily put some people off staying at the hotel. The “****** Marbella” is attached to the hotel. It’s a nice ****** but lacks atmosphere. You also need your passport to enter (I had to go back to the room) so bear that in mind too. There is a handy supermarket opposite the hotel that has a great selection of snacks, ice cream, toiletries, booze etc plus it’s really cheap. There’s a lovely little bar called “Park Lane Sports Bar” that is family run and really charming. The drinks are cheap and the people who run it are very friendly. The resident dog “Lolo” is also quite a character and really makes the bar. We also ate at a lovely little Spanish restaurant called “Noto” - the prawns, pizza and service was excellent. There are more luxurious hotels to stay in Marbella and hotels in nicer locations but for a party vibe, good food & drink, strong pool decks and friendly service the Hard Rock is a solid choice.

Okay it’s a 3 star hotel but the staff are amazing (thank you Laly) The bed was super comfortable and although rooms are rather small the balcony had table and chairs Step out of the hotel and everything is there from restaurants to shops to bars . Cross over the boulevard and you are on the seafront in 5 minutes Walk up the petty pedestrian street and the most beautiful church is a joy The only drawback is the lack of channels on the tv but with excellent free Wi-Fi I watched tv on my iPad

A great budget friendly hotel 15 minutes in a taxi from Puerto Banus. For people visiting with families, bear in mind people will use this hotel for hen and stag parties to save money instead of stopping in the more expensive Puerto Banus so you may experience some noise of people coming in late. We didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel, except when we arrived and relaxed around the pool bar for a few hours the jugs of Sangria were great! The hotel seems like a really great hotel for children with a small waterpark with slides. The hotel food was of a good standard. Rooms were spacious and clean.

I chose this hotel because it is close to my friend's home. The interior decoration of the room is traditional and standard, with everything you need, including a bathtub. The room is quite spacious, including a deep balcony, which overlooks the swimming pool. There are many lounge chairs and palm trees around the pool, as well as some hammocks. Many foreigners go there early in the morning to take a seat and bask in the sun. The hotel's SPA and indoor swimming pool are also open to the public, and are charged to guests. It seems to be less than 20 euros, which is not expensive. If you don't buy the hotel's breakfast before checking in, it's 22 euros per serving. There are many choices. In addition to the lettuce, cheese and ham that most breakfasts have, there are butterfly cakes, carrot cakes, croissants, which taste good, as well as duck liver pate and fresh caviar. The kitchen can also make Benedict eggs, which are presented at a pretty good level, and the coffee tastes average. I also ordered lunch once, which was salmon with vegetables. The salmon was medium done, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The kitchen also sent an appetizer with a high appearance value, plus a 3 euro bottle of water, the total was about 20 euros, which was very satisfactory. The only thing I was not satisfied with was that I wanted to delay the check-out for a while on the day, but the front desk told me that it would cost 22 Euros for 2 hours, and their tone was very blunt. In the end, they at least reluctantly agreed to let me extend it for 30 minutes.

A curious little hotel. Location is either amazing on top of Monda with great views ..or tricky to get to depending on your perspective. Nice and fair value restaurant and bar with terrace but patchy and rather slow service (waited ages to get served in the bar). Traditional style but decent sized rooms with firm beds. Monda town is a short 10 minute walk downhill but a steep hike back. Some petty policies like a deposit for pool towels were unnecessarily irritating.

Having stayed at an Ona establishment before i knew this wouldn't disappoint, and it certainly didn't. We have had a brilliant week here. The apartment was lovely, very homely and immaculately clean. No problem at all with the wifi in the apartment. The pool area is perfect for relaxing in the sun during the day, we were able to get a sunbed whatever the time of day. There's a great choice of restaurants 5 mins walk down the road. Think we've found a great place which is good value for an out of season break in the sun. We hope to be back. If you're reading the reviews on here wondering whether to go or not, take the chance as we couldn't fault the place.
