“This hotel is wonderful small but ideal”

We love this hotel its small but has everything. We are in room 247 which is on the outside so we are not overlooked. Generous balcony which gets the sun early morning then from 2 til 8 pm.

We love this hotel its small but has everything. We are in room 247 which is on the outside so we are not overlooked. Generous balcony which gets the sun early morning then from 2 til 8 pm. Local bus is 1 euro each 1 way. There are plenty of sunbeds so no rush and even though it clearly says you can't reserve a bed the towel planters are still here also there are tables and chairs so something for everyone and plenty of shade. Our only issue is the food is mundane and repetitive, salads the chicken,pork every night, fish sometimes, rice and potatoes. No local type food ,no tapas or spanish style food no paella or tortilla. Also on a morning there is only 1 dish of churros so if you're not there early enough it's gone. So we would like more local type food and definitely churros refilled but that's our only issue. We would recommend this hotel .

“The Good Old Days”

This was my third visit to this Hotel I came in 2017, 2019 and now in 2024. Unfortunately it has lost its previous charm. I think it has been taken over by a Hotel group.

This was my third visit to this Hotel I came in 2017, 2019 and now in 2024. Unfortunately it has lost its previous charm. I think it has been taken over by a Hotel group. It is not horrible, but if you have been before it seems to have lost its mojo. The staff all seem overworked and stressed and not at all happy, they are not unfriendly, just not as friendly as they were. The food has gone seriously down hill, Breakfast was ok I am more than happy with eggs on toast, but the evening meal was not good at all, I am not a fussy eater but every night it was chicken and pork and on a couple of occasions it was just inedible. The service at the bar is not good, you need the patience of a saint, it’s not that the bar staff are slow, there just aren’t enough of them. Entrance to the dining hall is very regimented, you have to show a piece of paper, if you don’t have it you don’t get in, okay rules are rules but in most Hotels after a couple of days the staff recognise you and use their initiative, here perhaps they are not allowed to, treating your customers like school children is not going to make them want to come back. Our room was okay, the bed was clean and reasonably comfortable we were on the ground floor and had a bit of a garden outside which was quite nice although I did have to hunt and dispose of a couple of cockroaches or my wife would never have gone to sleep! The one thing that did upset my Wife was that previously when you went to the dining room for your evening meal, a waiter would come to your table to ask if you wanted a drink and the deliver it to your table, this no longer happens if you want a drink you have to get it yourself from a bar in the corner that did not seem to have a barman. A word of warning! Sound transmits unbelievably well in this hotel, for our last three days we had noisy neighbours, this didn’t bother me too much as I could sleep through a Hurricane but from what my wife told me a triple X rating would not have been high enough. This is not a bad Hotel, it has changed, maybe some of us don’t like change we tend to look back with Rose tinted spectacles. Would I come back?……….I don’t know.

In the past we have stayed in this hotel and have had a pleasant stay. Unfortunately not this time. The hotel is being run on a shoestring staff basis. The bar is now a sports bar and on football nights there is only one bar man and a nightmare to get a drink. The Reception, Lounge dining room has been refurbished but there is no good atmosphere in the place. You even have to get your own drink in the dining room. Before waiter would come to table and get your drink and you would pay before you left. A nice touch. Staff look totally stressed not happy as in the past. We upgraded to a superior room. The only thing that was obvious was the larger balcony. Rooms are very basic. Not enough storage space for anyone staying two weeks or more. The bathroom is very basic. No where to put your toiletries, a small shelf over toilet. Towels very poor quality and need to be bigger. There was no UK tv, according to reception the satellite had been taken down. We went to reception every day but nothing was done. Food was awful, always cold and not much choice. I was sick of chicken at the end of the stay. If you want some luxury this hotel is not for you. Sorry Nerja Club you will not be seeing us again.
