    Room was a bit small for a double which I had booked. I was on my own so adequate but if i had my partner with me would not of been suitable and would of asked for a room change.

    Ideally located recently renovated hotel with superb staff
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Only small gripe is that the beds are on the firmer side, where we prefer slightly softer.

    The staff is so friendly and helpful. Our room was not ready so we got a free upgrade to a premium room, when we extended for a day we got to keep the same room at the same rate as for the regular room. Next to that they were very helpful with getting a spot in the parking garage. The hotel is recently renovated (Dec 2023) and it shows, its chique and stylish with white tones throughout. The premium room we had was spacious and stylishly decorated. Plenty of sitting room, a capsule coffee machine and a large tv. Water pressure in the shower was great. Location is perfect, 5 minutes from the beach, near the night life and right on the edge of the old town.

    Great I would come back just replace the shampoo dispensers I’m not sure why you would make them so difficult to use

    The soap and shampoo in the dispensers was really difficult to use ( unnecessarily so!)

    The staff were great. Very obliging, professional and courteous!

    Only single disappointment was the cost of the taxi to the airport. Taxi organised at reception by a very helpful receptionist, however he charged 91.00 which is 15 euro above the normal cost.

    Staff were super friendly, welcoming and very professional. The hotel is very well located. The rooms are a lovely size and very modern and clean.

    The bedroom was so spacious, clean, modern and comfortable. We loved having the option of the rooftop pool with sun loungers and the bar which does a happy hour everyday! Such a great location as its a couple of minutes walk away from the bustling Orange Square. Will definitely be back to the Obal next time I'm in Marbella.

    This is a modern hotel in the heart of Marbella old town! Within walking distance to the beach, one of the main ports and beach clubs. The staff were so friendly especially Gabriel and Juan. Every recommendation they had was spot on! They made our stay feel so seamless and accommodated all our requests.
