The amenities in the property are second to none. Such great ambience and a really good location. Close to the beach and walking distance to the train station. The 24h access to the pool is a nice touch.

Ideal location for a trip

We had a great 5 day break at this hotel. The location was ideal, 15 mins by Uber to the airport, a stones throw from the beach and all the food and drink outlets close by. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied to suit all tastes. Didn't use the pool but it looked nice. All areas were kept spotlessly clean. I would recommend this place very highly as a base in Torremolinos.
