I actually feel sorry for the reception staff who were really friendly and helpful, for having to work in this place. I seriously think it is on the point of falling down!. This is evidenced by the huge subsidence cracks on the terrace and the balconies that slope alarmingly (we spoke to some other residents who - like us -... More

STAYED 3HRS!! Couldnt stick it any longer! Booked into Goya by Low Cost Holidays but were sent to Velazquez on arrival having to walk up the very steep hill in the mid day sun with 2 large suitecases....no offer of help! Checked into Velazquez...everything about it was disgusting including staff - pretended not to understand/speak any English! Rooms couldnt be... More

This place was full of Spanish youths, (Students I assumed),for the weekend. More like a youth hostel than a hotel. Rooms were very basic, not very clean,hand basin in bathroom insecure, no fridge, TV all Spanish channels.The air con was restricted to times governed by management. Went for one breakfast, just had an orange drink (warm), and a cuppa. Very... More

Good points - Clean room. Plenty of hot water. Bad points - No gas for draught beer for 3 nights. Ran out of Vodka. Some unattentive staff. Minging pool. Paid for half board but had to eat out most nights - Food not fit to feed pigs! Viv & Steve

This relates to the Velazquez Hotel Benalmadena. This hotel must rank as the worst in Spain. The food is awful, cool or cold. The choice is poor and do not expect to have anything like good quality because you will be disappointed. This hotel boasts air conditioned bedrooms but this is rationed by the management. Therefore, it is possible to... More

I would definitely recommend staying at Hotel Velazquez. Given, it is a bit old and could use some sprucing up, but basically there's nothing to complain about. The hotel has amazing views of the sea and mountains, a great hot & cold breakfast, very helpfull English-speaking staff. Rooms are basic with shower over bath, but we didn't have any problems... More
