The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of Marbella, making it easy to access the beach, Old Town, bars, and restaurants. The rooms were a bit outdated and didn't match the online images as expected. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff. The dining options were mixed, with limited vegan choices but delicious hot food. Overall, a good value for a stay with minor room refurbishment needed.
