We stayed here for a weekend in Sept 2009 and on a repeat visit to the village in Oct 2009 we noticed the hotel was closed for rennovation and thought it was worth noting that here. The hotel is in a nice village in the hills above the coast. The village has some lovely old streets with tourists and expats... more

We stayed in an apartment rather than the hotel. The apartment was clean and adequately furnished with a separate bedroom opening on the the living room and kitchen. It had a balcony which overlooked the Spanish street. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the locals go about their business. The town was typically Spanish and very... more

The hotel is broken into hotel rooms / apments and studio flats. we were in a studio flat which i expected a pull out sofa - instead it was two pull down beds. it is situated up in the mountains in the old village and it is lovely - white wash buildings and everyone knows everyone. there is about a... more

I should also say from the start that we paid £85.00 between 4 of us for 3 nights and we did have a very happy time there. This apartment is booked through the Hotel La Fonda, but is... more

Took a while to actually find Hotel which is hidden down small winding streets and no parking. Eventually found apartment and parking, area very quiet and quite a way from Benalmedena... more

We stayed for 10 days in a 1 Bed apartment which was exceptionally clean, well equipped and comfortable and used the hotel as a base for touring in the area. The hotel is situated in the old town of Benalmadena Pueblo - a couple of miles inland from the coastal resort of Benalmadena Costa. It is quite difficult to find,... more

We have just returned from a week in Benalmadena Pueblo the appartments were dirty, crumbs under the microwave, broken work tops, bits of food on the crockery and on the fridge shelves. The appartments are nothing like the photos on the websites we visited, and we visited a few. We had a studio, which had patio doors , if we... more
