“El Fuerte = Old Fashioned Charm”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

I have recently returned from this fanily-run hotel having enjoyed a wonderful two weeks in their care. The hotel is the oldest in Marbella and although some of the rooms are a little tired it does boast a brand new wing if you would prefer. The room (with full sea-view) was quiet, clean and large with a spacious balcony overlooking... More

“Nice hotel”

Reviewed 15 May 2013

Nice hotel on a very good location, the Old Town is across the street and in front is the beach separated only by promenade. We had a room with a side sea view, which was fine. Breakfast was very good with a large variety of different kind of food. Parking is full during the day, but you can always find... More

“Enjoyable Stay”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

The location is good right next to the old town and right on the beach front, the staff were very attentive and helpful. It is a little tired but nothing to put you off going back. We paid extra for a room with a full sea view and it was well worth it, the view was beautiful.

It is great to hear you appreciate our location and service. In the past winter we did some upgrading to our facilities and we will do so the coming winter, too. The team & I hope you will enjoy the improvements in your next visits. More

Laura the receptionist, no problem and after 5 minutes everything was sorted. This is what this hotel….great friendly service. All the staff from 2009 are still... More

“Romantic week for two...”

Myself and my wife decided to celebrate our anniversary by spending a week in Marbella. My sister said that the location of the El Fuerte hotel was close to perfect. There are daily filghts from my local airport, Cork to Malaga (2 hours twenty). Marbella is only about 40-50 minutes drive from Malaga's Pablo Picasso airport. The hotel is rated... More

“Which is the best?”

I have read that there is another hotel in Marbella claiming the title of "Best Hotel in Marbella" but for me El Fuerte will always be best. There is always a warm welcome for guests, the service is warm and friendly, the rooms are kept very clean. I know that the hotel is aging well and the sun will shine... More

Thanks for your stay (again!) and for your review. The team & I are looking forward to welcoming you again soon. More

“Beautiful Hotel, bad attitude”

Reviewed 26 April 2013 via mobile

We are unfortunately staying at this hotel in Marbella, Spain. This supposedly four star hotel does not have air conditioning or heating at the same time and our room was uncomfortably hot last night. The whole AC is off and the explanation was that they only have heating during this time of the year. Moreover, the hotel has a cavalier... More

Thank you very much for staying with us and for talking to me. it has been a great pleasure to have had such a renowned doctor amongst us. As I personally explained to you, our central air con system allows to have cool air in the Summer and hot air in the Winter. Average temperatures in Marbella vary from 12ºC/54ºF... More
