Hotele z: breakfast w Andalusia, Spain

This is a stylish hostel with a very new feel to it 🤍. It's clean and you can tell they've put thought into various details. Pros: Clean, curtains on beds, ample luggage storage, rooftop, tap water/sparkling water machine. Cons: There were no female-only rooms available so I stayed in a mixed dorm, but the shower stalls were too small and my clothes got completely wet 😭. There wasn't really anywhere convenient to change. The facilities stayed consistently clean because the cleaning staff were always tidying up – early mornings, after check-out, and regularly throughout the day! It's great that there are containers and drawers to store your own food and condiments. My coke did get stolen though... 😂 But it was nice to have apples available at the front desk every morning!

The front desk staff were so kind, which I really appreciated. I was satisfied with this accommodation as it was an affordable place for me to stay alone, and the service was good too.

The location is great, right opposite the ancient city wall and Baihua Alley. The hotel lobby is also quite spacious. While the service wasn't overly enthusiastic, I was grateful they allowed an early check-in. However, the room they gave me seemed like an upgrade to a family room, but it was a corner room right next to the main road, and the noise kept me up all night. Plus, it was on a low floor. The room was too large, feeling empty and not cozy at all. As soon as I walked in, I could smell that old guesthouse odor, probably from the drains, and it felt stuffy. It really didn't match the hotel's supposed star rating or vibe. On the flip side, the value for money was pretty good.

• Room: Looks fine in photos but in reality, very dated (from the 80s?) - requires some serious modernization and renovation. My original room's aircon was dripping water and had to move to another one... • Common area/ ambience: The reception/ cafe area is like a hostel/dorm, not consistent with the Novotel brand/tier- thought I was in Ibis or something. • Location: Very convenient - next to the shopping centre, close to bus/tram station, about 20-30 min from key attractions in the Archivo de Indias

Lovely Hotel with comfortable rooms and pool. However, the service is slow and it took us 5 hours to get replacement teas and coffees to the room, despite 2 visits to reception and a call. Well priced drinks in bar and only 15 mins by car to centre of Seville. Free car parking. Hotel supplies free shuttle bus to nearest metro station.

What a fantastic place - we'll be back! We stayed for one night in a superior room with breathtaking views over the reservoir, it was super-clean and actually inside the castle itself. The bed was incredibly comfortable with aircon in every room, although there was a beautiful cool breeze flowing through the large picture window. We had a salon, with a TV but, oddly, just one armchair, a mezzanine floor with a couch and nothing else at all - also odd and a separate bedroom, I had to ask at reception for another chair to be brought in, as only one of us could sit down to admire the view and have a drink, but that was done immediately, without any fuss or delay. The two staff members were extremely courteous and helpful, really nice guys for whom nothing was too much trouble, the barman was also the waiter at the restaurant, located 30m out of the entrance in another building, but very close. Breakfast was served on-site and was very decent, only hot selection was a very good Spanish omelette (tortilla de patatas) and some pleasant mini cocktail sausages, the rest was fresh hams, bread, butter, toast, spreads & jams, cereals, yoghurts plus a lot of very fresh fruit - with the usual coffee and fresh orange juice,, so very good all-in-all. The downsides: 1. There is little or no Wifi coverage in the room (our one at least), plus almost zero cellphone coverage in the rooms; 2. The parking is down the steep hill that leads up to the castle, so a hard trip with luggage up to the reception. 3. The El Ajibe restaurant, which is part of the Hotel, even though it's just along the lane was extremely average to poor, I couldn't really eat what I ordered as it was burnt and very dry, but there are other places to eat in the village; Other than these inconveniences, I would highly recommend this spectacular hotel, maybe not the restaurant, but the castle itself is beautiful with much of the original features being built into the modern feel of the place, overall, it was an awesome stay and we will be back again, without a doubt!

I am so happy and pleased that we stayed here; I’m really glad we chose this place. Here are my detailed thoughts after our stay: The price was incredibly low compared to nearby hotels and aparthotels, and it offered much more value. After checking in online, your room number and door code are automatically sent to you—it’s fast, practical, and very convenient. The room was amazingly nice, clean, and spacious. The one we stayed in also had a large balcony, which is great for relaxing in the evening if you like. It’s about a 7–8 minute taxi ride to the center. Uber costs around €17 on average, which is pretty much the only downside as commuting back and forth gets a bit pricey. I would strongly recommend renting a car instead, as you can get very good cars for just €10 a day. The nearest beach is Playa de Maro, and we went there every day during our 5-day stay. It’s a maximum 8–9 minute walk and is a beautiful, clean cove. You can rent a sunbed and umbrella together for €6. The beach itself is free, so you can just sit on the sand if you prefer. There’s a café where you can get food and drinks, or you can buy your own supplies from a market. There is a small pool on the top floor of the hotel with views of the surroundings and the sea. We never used it since the sea was more enjoyable for us. If you head into the center of Nerja, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and pubs to enjoy your time. There are 2 or 3 nice restaurants around the hotel. Restaurant Maro (full name: Hogar Y Centro Social Maro) and a casual seafood spot in the side street called Bar El Rincón de la Tapa, where you can eat incredibly delicious, fresh, and cheap fish. The side streets and the surrounding area are lovely. We walked around and found some great spots for photos. The most famous beach in the center of Nerja, Playa Burriana, is about 7–8 minutes away by Uber.

Ctrip's hotel was very convenient. It didn't realize the plan. Because the itinerary changed, the hotel that was found on Ctrip and booking on the same day, compared with Ctrip, the price is good, and it is clearer than booking.

The facilities are quite new, and compared to two previous branches of the same brand I stayed at in Portugal, the room was much larger and even had two chairs. Although there was no refrigerator or electric kettle, there's a water dispenser at the elevator entrance on each floor, so you can get hot water. The breakfast was truly the most abundant I've had so far, with decaf coffee available and the orange cake was delicious. Check-in and check-out were both instant.
