| said: Hotel was nice and clean, in a good location for the shops. Beach and public transport should you want to tour the area. Because of the time of year it was not too busy. Too cool to use the outside pool but the covered roof top pool was great. You would not go hungry at this hotel but you soon get board with very similar food every night, not a lot of variety, chips every night and we only had boiled potatoes once. Rice or baked potatoes would have been nice occasionally, but what there was cooked ok and tasty. Most of the hotel staff were very friendly but as it was said before the reception staff were a bit frosty and abrupt. We got a good price for staying at this hotel and for what we paid it is good value. We would stay there again. Location is good only a short walk to the bars cafes and restaurants and beach.

| said: Just returned from a lovely week at the Hotel Cervantes. Rooms were pleasant & most have a gorgeous sea view.
Situated up the hill from the beach but there is a lift available just at the bottom of the street or winding steps down from the end of San Miguel.
B&B stay - plenty of choice - even though it was usually nearer 10 before we went down.
Some of the reception staff not too friendly but everyone else very nice. When notified we hadnt enough towels, the guy from reception was at our door 5 minutes later with a pile of lovely warm towels.
We didnt venture to main pool as was always very busy - the rooftop pool was much quieter.
Hope to return in the near future.
Torremolinos is a lovely place and VERY clean, much quieter than anticipated.

| said: Return visit to this hotel in centre of the town. Noticed a lot of work currently being undertaken and enterance only available from plaza. The reception area has been moved slightly on a temp basis as work continues - although there was no noise during the one night stay.
Standard twin rooms which were fine.
The lifts remain a problem here during certain times when the hotel is busy. It is a large hotel and more lifts are needed for the 7 floors of rooms and rooftop at level 8.
Staff were more friendly than last time at reception.
Dinner had a fair choice of meats, fish, slads and pasta with 2 choices of soup (both quite tastey)
The cake choice was sampled and given thumbs up.
Breakfast is most certainly geared towards British customers and personally a little off putting in my opinion. However the rolls and bread were fresh. A larger selection of meats/hams/cheese etc for morning breakfast for the non Brits and those who can do without Beans and whatever - would have been lovely. As standard in Torrie, coffee etc dispensed from a machine - but not too shabby. Bit noisy in the breakfast room with much British dialogue - mixed with sprinkling of German and thankfully Spanish. Suspect though that during peak summer time it could be a little caotic.
Overall though, the hotel holding its own within good part of the town and easy access to railway station if required.

| said: We were staying in Fuengirola and saw an advert for 3 days in a four star hotel for Christmas.
We arrived on Christmas Eve and had to take cases up countless steps to front entrance - no ramp. The room was not bad but did not have any tea making facilities or fridge. We had to queue for our evening meal as staff had gone home for christmas and only a few tables were in use.
The food was sparse and cold. In the bar there were only two staff serving and there was no music, entertainment or atmosphere. We were back in our room by 10.00 p.m.!!
The Christmas lunch was only catered for the locals - fish soup and pressed turkey with dates! We packed and came home giving up 2 days of our holiday.
Dont celebrate Christmas there!!

| said: Spent two nights at the hotel. Thought the check in staff were rather poor actually. They even asked us how much the room was despite us giving her the internet booking detail.
(was a great bargain though at 74 euros for the two nights).
The room was very spacious and also quite noise resistant. Always a plus sign for me. Was on the 6th floor and had quite a nice view - although I would be a little concerned if travellers have children as the balcony railing just does not seem high enough to be fully safe.
The hotel is large - yet had only 4 lifts that were in constant use. Q's did happen.
The hotel pool area and poolside bar are getting varnished and re painted and I think they will look very smart when finished.
Breakfast was plentiful and the buffet style did offer something for everyone. Shame tho' like many hotels in Torrie - the coffee comes from a machine - but was drinkable.
Car parking does cost 10 euros a day - however off street parking can be found close by.
The hotel is nicely located for shopping and only 2 minutes walk to the railway station.

| said: Hotel requires total re-furbishment-no fans in bathroom,bed covers very tatty.
Food was tedious unless you like veal or pork stew every day.Breakfast was acceptable.
Hotel staff very pleasant and the hotel itself is very centrally located.
We would not go to this hotel again unless they revised their food menu,to call this hotel 4 star is delusional.
We were very disappointed as it was more like a 3 star and the powers that be should should downgrade it as such!

| said: I stayed half board in the cervantes in may 2006 and found it very clean.
The food was good without being classed as very good.
The hotel is within 100yds of the station and bus terminal making it great for getting about.
The staff were efficient without being too pleasant.
I found the entertainment poor.
I will visit this hotel again on my return to Torremolinos

| said: While this hotel is of good standard, in my opinion it is not a 4 star hotel but a good 3 star.
There are no coffee making facilities or fridge in the room which i feel a 4 star hotel should have. There is a charge for the safe in the room and also a charge for parking in the hotel car park which is not made clear in the description of the hotel.
The roof pool is very handy when the weather is not too great. Food very good. Although we had a good time it is not my idea of a 4 star which is why I wouldnt return.

| said: We stayed at Hotel Cervantes for a long weekend break. The hotel is very spacious and spotlessly clean.
We stayed half-board and found the breakfasts acceptable, although a little repetitive - the usual cold meats, fruit yoghurts, cereals and English egg and bacon in a buffet style. The dinners were very good. High quality food such as veal, smoked salmon, beef, fish and chicken. Very nicely presented and, again, spotlessly clean.
The hotel staff were extremely polite and helpful, considering we had a disaster with our car hire, which they helped us with altough it was not their problem.
The entertainment was OK if you are aged 70+ with a duet playing oldie tunes - they loved it!!
Would definitely recommend the happy hour from 7-8pm in the bar. The drinks are buy-one-get-one-free and we bought a gin and tonic (twice), white wine (twice), vodka and tonic (twice) and a brandy (twice) and it worked out to less than £1 a drink!!
Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone.

| said: This is a lovely hotel right in the centre of Town with a pleasant downhill walk to the beach. I go to Torremollinos every 6 to eight weeks and always stay at this hotel for long weekends of 4 or 5 days.
The rooms are quite large and all have balconies and although the rooms seem dated they are absoloutely spotlessly clean and quite pleasamt on a sunny day.
Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of cereals fruits yogurts as wellas fried food on offer.
With the Calle Sann Miguel two miutes walk away this hotel is a shoppers dream come true! I have stayed there six times so that says it all!!!!

| said: Stayed in this hotel for 4 days last week and enjoyed it.
The hotel is very clean and mostly marble flooring, can be slippery especially around the hotel in the morning when they water the local area.
Breakfast was fairly Spanish hotel style, as described in other reviews.
The hotel was very near to the local shop/entertainment area and a fair walk to the beach by the main road or down the steps down the cliff face which has a lift for three quarters of the way which costs .30 euros per trip which only runs from 9am to 1.15 and 2pm to 6pm (or thereabouts) other than that its a taxi job to the hotel.
Thoroughly enjoyed the hotel.
Torremolinos is not my ideal place so I personally wouldn’t return, but others will enjoy the beach and the relaxing lifestyle.

| said: Hotel was very clean and spacious. We only stayed B&B so can only comment on the breakfast. It was served in a large room, very clean and lots of choice. Tables were cleaned regularly.
Buffet consisted of cereals, meats and cheese, breads, and full breakfast, boiled, fried and scrambled eggs. Lots of choice and all nicely set out. Tea,coffee and fruit juices available with a choice of flavoured teas.
Hotel was located very close to the main pedestrian area and within minutes walking distance of the beach and all restaurants and bars.
We did not see any entertainment in the hotel as we were out every night. The bar has a happy hour every night and was fairly busy and had a good atmoshpere from what we could see from the reception.
