At first glance you can think that the Hotel, whilst having certainly seen better days, will do for a short break. And, if you are doing just that it might be fine for one night or two at a push. But for anything longer, book in somewhere else. The place is very tired, the rooms desperate for refurbishment, and the... more

The room stunk of sewers. There has been attempts of refurb. but done on the cheap. The whole hotel needs gutted and refurbished. There is a foisty smell throughout the hotel. Windows corroded so the would not lock. Balcony furniture dirty. Waited 10 minutes to get served at the bar after calling staff from reception. The pool is a run... more

After reading some of these reviews i wonder if the hotel has made recent drastic improvements or whether they have a wide variance in room types. I stayed there in Feb 09 for 2 nights and loved it - clean, huge rooms, comfy beds, and amazing private balcony views. The hotel also has atmosphere, which is lacking in most hotels... more

We have recently returned from a two week stay at this charming hotel and cannot praise it highly enough. As frequent visitors to Spain we normally stay in the Parador hotels but whenever we visit Ronda we always stay at the Reina Victoria. This is an elegant, sophisticated hotel a million miles away from the brash, noisy, faceless modern hotels... more

You can still see the past beauty of this hotel, but still with charm. Clearly needs a facelift and an upgrade. One of the best locations in Ronda, magic panorama, walking distance to the bridge. Nice garden. Spacious rooms. Parking space available. more

Stayed here on business in April of this year for 2 nights. Whilst the hotels location is great, this is the only positive that I can give. The rooms have dated decor, the carpets are stained, breakfast was not available until 8am (no good if you have an early start) and the pool is green!! I spent as little time... more

Booked via Travel republic.co.uk. The website states that it was built in early 1900's and fully restored to its former glory. Beware. Great location with fantastic views of Ronda and the surrounding hills and the garden is quiet and cool on a hot day although a good 10 minute walk into the old town down hill and 15 minutes back... more

The other reviews are pretty much dead on. I stayed for one night in April 2008. Although this appears to be a lovely historic hotel from the exterior and the parlors, the rooms desperately need some updating. The beds were hard, probably about 20 years old and the bedspread was nothing more than a piece of fabric. The bathroom needed... more

To mention the one positive thing up front: yes, the view is absolutely stunning. You can't beat the location of this hotel. But it would suffice to have coffee there one afternoon. You get to enjoy the view but you are spared the rooms. Other than that, yes, it's smelly (strongly so), shabby, run down and has a strange feel... more
