    A swimming pool would have been good. The room was spacious .

    Breakfast was ok , but a little varieation would go a long way eg. A few different cooked breakfasts.

    Nothing. Excellent value for money!

    A perfect location from which to explore the fabulous beaches on the Costa and immerse yourself in the authenticity of San Pedro (one of the few towns where locals live all year round as opposed to resorts). The rooms are clean and there is a great roof terrace for relaxing and watching the day to day hustle and bustle of local life. I didn’t have breakfast at the hotel as I was meeting family for lunch but from the set up, it looked like there’s a good range of hot and cold choices. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much for them to help you with. Particularly Eva, who told me where to find every place I was looking for, and was happy to shoot the breeze with a solo traveller who was grateful for the local insights. I will definitely stay again and have no hesitation in recommending Dona Catalina as your home from home in San Pedro.

    A/C with a remote control would be the only “issue”, but I was happy with the temperature I found anyway.

    Super friendly staff. Incredible value. Location perfect - walkable to Banus if that’s your thing and so quick in a taxi, but right in the thick of San Pedro to explore too. Honestly, if you’re planning a short Marbella/Banus stay and the overinflated prices are putting you off, I couldn’t recommend Doña Catalina enough.

    Strange smell building up in the bathroom, humming noise at night even with the windows closed and AC off (from the AC compressors on the roof?)

    Very friendly staff, cozy bed, nice rooftop terrace, little plaza and supermarket in front of the hotel

    Our room faced the street and while as stated there was nothing wrong with the room itself it was very noisy at night which made sleeping difficult. I got ear plugs at the local pharmacy!!!

    We were given a bigger than expected bedroom, Very clean. roof terrace was great and we had it all to ourselves. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Excellent value for money.

    All good.

    Location was excellent. Room was clean. I managed to park outside the hotel when I got there and asked the receptionist how long I could park. She looked to see where I was parked and proceeded to give me a card advising that I was a hotel guest which allowed me to park outside the hotel for the 2 days that I booked.

    I didn’t like the smell of weed in the room despite the “No smoking” note. It disappeared on the second day only.

    The room was clean, the bed and bathroom were also clean. It was small but for us it was ok for 2 nights. The breakfast was very good. And they cooked an omelette for us personally. There was a variety of meat and ham and sausages, vegetables and fruit. We liked the breakfast a lot.

    A Polish woman at the reception was very nice, polite and helpful (recommended a good Spanish restaurant), also spoke perfect English. The room was very clean and cosy. Although the room was small, there was a small table, cupboard and a fridge. The room was according to my preferences which I wrote at the booking. The bed was comfortable, no noise from outside. Bus stop is not far away, a very big supermarket is 2 minutes by walk

    As a solo traveller I loved being welcomed by a REAL PERSON at reception. I was given tips; local info about the laundromat, travel advice about the Caminito del Rey; and I loved the roof terrace! Breakfast was superbly cooked fried eggs - the Chef's specialty. I warmly enjoyed feeling at home, and was surprised it was a big hotel. If you want a wonderful experience, book here.

    There were some ‘cosmetic’ things that could use some touches, like broken tiles in the bathroom, some trim in need of repairs, etc…

    Not glamorous, but everything worked as it should and it was comfortable. The climate control within the room worked well and the beds were (European) firm. Some North Americans may find them a bit hard. Breakfast was basic, but acceptable.

    I banged my head with the hanging TV, but I must say that I am a clumsy type !

    I stayed just one night as I had to attend a clinic nearby. The staff at reception a Polish lady was extremely helpful and made sure that my stay would be pleasant, she is an asset to the hotel ! Room size was decent and clean. The hotel is very close to restaurants and shops. Parking around the area is limited to blue zones, but if you just walk a bit further away (5 mins) you can get free street parking, note that the area has zone emission restrictions and you would need a permit to enter with your car. Would stay there again.
