Stayed for 2 nights in may, 14 girls for a hen party. Excellent location, literally 30 second walk to the beach. Hotel was good, very clean, room cleaned and towels changed even though we only stayed 2 nights. Walls very thin in hotel, could hear people closing their doors, walking along corridors n talking. Breakfast was OK, toast, croissants, other... More

Stayed here in January. Location was great - just a short walk from the beach and not very far from the beautiful old town. Our room was at the front and the noise from the road was a real let down. The refuse collectors ce a couple of times a week at some ridiculous hour. Often there was shouting and... More

Simple back to basics hotel, but ultimately good value for money. For 40euros I had a studio with terrace and kitchenette incl breakfast. It's next to the old town and 1 min from beach. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only let down is breakfast which is basic and comes only with breads & cakes. No meat or fruit or cheeses,... More

Just returned from a stay at El Faro - our accommodation for a hen party of 10. This is fairly basic accommodation, and not very modern, but if you want clean, comfortable and are on a budget, this is for you. The staff are lovely, the rooms are very clean and the air con makes them very cool. We had... More

Just got back from staying in a 1 bedroom apartment at the El faro Inn Marbella. Dont know why there are negative reviews because we had a lovely clean apartment. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned daily even on a Sunday. Clean towels every day if you needed. The view from our apartment was a unused... More

This hotel is in a very good location. I can not understand the negative reviews. The room was large and very clean. The kitchen was not that well equipped but we were only using it to make drinks and use the fridge. The pool was small but we never had a problem getting a sunbed. There was a bit of... More

We booked our holiday through On the Beach Ltd. When we arrived we were put in a room overlooking a derelict car park of cement and rubble. The room was a good size but a little old and tired. Our first night was ok but the second night a hen party and stag party arrived, from then our holiday was... More

I stayed for 4 nights in June with 5 friends for one of their hen parties. El Faro made a perfect base for us to explore Marbella and Puerto Banus whether we were looking for a mad night or a quiet one. During the day the hotel was quiet and relaxed, the pool area never got busy. Our rooms were... More
