“5* Hotel start to finish”

Gran Hotel Guadalpin Marbella & Spa

16 Mar 2008

A beautiful hotel living upto it's 5*'s. From arrival you are met with a handful of door men who are extremly helpful and a great checkin desk.
We booked a two bedroom superior apartment with pool views, which was excellent. The rooms were both ensuite and with great wardrobe space. A fully fitted kitchen which includes a dishwasher and washing machine.
We had B&B which included a brillaint breakfast which had everything from fruit to a full fry.
The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the beach, which had loads of restaurants. It was a good 20 minutes walk to the harbour or about 6 euros in a taxi.
Puerto Banus is 10 minutes by taxi and costs about 8 euros.
Across the road from the hotel is a large supermarket and Lidl is on the same side of the road as the hotel. Both are only a couple of minutes walk from the hotel. (Pampers is called Dodot) they have huggies too, with aptamil baby milk and Hipp jars.

There is a great shopping centre about 10 minutes in a cab (9 euro) called La Conda. It was a great place to go shopping.

The only thing I would say the indoor pool is only for SPA use, you are not able to go in for a swim and you have to be over 18.

Overall a fantastic hotel great location will 100% visiting again would highly recommend it.

“Brilliant rooms”

Gran Hotel Guadalpin Marbella & Spa

15 Mar 2008

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite which was very nice, kitchen included and the bathrooms were lovely. I particularly liked the large terrace which had both dining table and louge type chairs and table. Breakfast were really nice with a huge choice.
We spent an afternoon in the Spa which again was very pleasant but quite expensive to enter if you are paying. The swimming pool was freezing and I was disappointed that it was not heated and they didn't have an indoor pool.
I have to agree with others, the staff are not very welcoming and don't smile at all.
Overall though a lovely hotel.

“Swimming Pool”

Gran Hotel Guadalpin Marbella & Spa

5 Mar 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel at the end of Febraury, we had been the same time the year before and loved everything about it. However this year we discovered that the pool is closed until June, all that is there is a very ugly green screen around it, the smell of turps and much noise as it is worked on. If you are going here to relax don't find somewhere else. The staff were not at all apologetic about the pool they said it was on their web site (not when we booked) and only offered us a deduction on the spa pool.

“A for hotel, D for service”

1/2 found this review helpful

The amenities of this hotel are brilliant. The room was large, classy, with a good bathroom and a mini kitchen. The restaurant at the hotel served michelin star quality food on the night I dined. The negatives were all routine service related. First, we got the room overlooking the BP petrol station - ok I guess given the price we paid - but watch out, since this seems to be the "expedia room". Second, breakfast was included, but the hotel at times forgot that, and indeed, were argumentative and rude as to their forgetting, with staff explaining how it was not "so and so's fault, but someone's elses or a computer problem or whatever" - I don't care, just fix it and don't argue. Third, paying for parking of 15 euro a day is not consistent with a 5 star hotel. But you could park outside for free - good luck in summer though. Overall, this is a 5 star hotel because its premises genuinely are of 5 star standard, but not (at the moment) its service. I would recommend it.

“Hot Tub Galore!”

Gran Hotel Guadalpin Marbella & Spa

26 Nov 2007
1/3 found this review helpful

I have stayed at Guadalpin on 2 occasions now firstly in a Presidential Suite with the deck the size of a tennis court then secondly a penthouse suite which has a staircase up to the roof top with an outdoor hot tub! Heaven!

The hotel is modern with a friendly feel.

Rooms - all mod cons and my only gripe is the beds are too hard.

Pool - very nice but beds can be difficult to get, it also has an pool bar built into the side under a waterfall.

Overall a great hotel and I think all the rooms offer kitchen facilities which is great.

I would definately revisit.
