Hotel El Faro Marbella

The breakfast was fresh with plenty of food for all tastes. Just enough after a night out exploring the area.

Good location, good service, and great view

Location was superb. Close to everything

The room needs full renovation, bath should be replaced, air conditioning looks very old and dirty, glasses were all dirty- it is a shame to leave used glasses to other guests. Very small choice for breakfast. But the worst was car park- on hotel website it says it is available and cost 15€ but they forgot to say that the car park is only for smart cars- not possible to park there any bigger car. You have to go on other car park which cost 25€ per day and then you need to walk to the hotel. Only staff was very nice and helpful.

6 of us old boys on our annual weekend away. One of the other guys booked the hotel and then reading some of the recent reviews I expected the worst. It's true that the hotel needs updating and TLC, looking very tired in places. But in general, it was clean and comfortable and the shower over the bath worked well. Location was perfect, close to the beach and a short stroll to the old town.

During our stay my daughter got many bites from bed bugs. We could see bed bugs crawling on the bed. When we got home all our luggage and clothes had to be frozen for 3 days to kill any bed bugs that might have gotten into our luggage. The hotel has a nice and central location, but the entire hotel is run down and old. Be aware that you will get bed bugs at this hotel.
