Fantastic hotel with exceptionally good and friendly staff.

The food is excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.

The restaurant was lovely - food was excellent and the staff friendly and relaxed.

Thanks to all the staff for your wonderful friendly service.

Staff very friendly with family atmosphere.

We had a lovely family meal, the food was delicious and the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

All so friendly, chilled out and relaxed.

There was no change in the staff who were as warm, friendly and efficient as ever and the food in the restaurant was again of a really high standard.

Every single staff member was friendly, efficient and welcoming.

The restaurant serves very good food and all the staff are very welcoming, professional and friendly.

Peace and quiet, no TV blaring away in the bar, comfortable rooms, delicious food, friendly efficient staff and lovely owners.

The food in the Hotel is excellent prepared & served by such friendly staff - who can talk to you in English if your Spanish isn’t up to it.

All the staff are a great team; genuinely welcoming, friendly & helpful.

The staff are friendly, the restaurant is good and it’s clean and comfortable.

Everything a hotel should be: friendly reception and bar/restaurant staff (including in English); lovely rooms, each with a balcony; a lounge with a fireplace; interesting art on the walls; and a restaurant that serves tasty food, including vegetarian options.

The owner is a friendly British expatriate who really knows how to run an excellent restaurant.

WiFi was poor and even non-existent at times.

Even the poor weather didn't diminish the great experience.

Most speak impeccable English, which is a result as my Spanish is poor.

The only disappointment was the poor quality of golf demonstrated by the owner who had boasted about his prowess

although the ‘rack’ rate is pretty high for the area and we felt that the standard room we had originally chosen was poor value.

And not only the view is poor, also the quality of the food.

£190 euro's per night B&B - lame breakfast, so called chef can't cook a fried egg and the dinner was just as poor - dinner at a local converted train station 'El Muelle' was far superior - no TV in the "junior suite".

Our poor Spanish is encouraged with great patience and often an impromptu lesson.

This year, whist we were warmly welcomed by Inma and Victor, things were different.

His team led by Inma in reception were excellent..The food was outstanding.

We travelled to the restaurant for a family meal July 2023, the food was delicious, the staff incredible especially Douglas our waiter, and the surroundings were magnificent.

Very accommodating for guests with dietary requirements - was much appreciated.

We stayed for 4 nights: so relaxing, quiet, very comfortable rooms, super food, extremely courteous and kind staff.

The staff treat you like family the food is out of this world, Michelin star quality and the scenery outstanding.

The food is excellent and the restaurant and bar staff were just exceptional.

The staff clearly enjoy working there and management is obviously attentive to detail.

We have been coming here for over 30 years and we have always had a wonderful stay - everything is lovely and the staff are amazing - always helpful.

It is a small boutique hotel (18 rooms all different - no TV) lovingly run by Pauline and Andy who over the years have turned it into an oasis of peace and calm.

but the beds are very comfortable but there is no TV which did not make a difference to us, but it may to some.

There are no TV's (and I don't personally miss it for a week)

We spent a week in this delightful hotel- a real treat to be away from TV, radio and traffic noise and pollution.

Do not come here if you want to watch TV,  play bingo or dance the night away to disco music.

A lounge with log fire is provided without tv!

There was no refrigerator, TV or clock  (none of our hotel rooms had a clock . .

but hospital clean.Pool no heated. TV,no.

And there are no televisions in the guest rooms, which was a bit of a shock for a news-junkie like me,

The rooms are a delight, every one individual yet the style is always Andaluz; and one thing that is an advantage for me is the lack of TV in rooms. Hooray!

No TV, which means that a post-prandial stroll through the small village is a delightful alternative.

we came back with friends for a second time in October and it was just as good, having been drawn to the area by the TV program by Michael Portillo and his Bradshaw's guide which focused on the railway that ran from Ronda down the coast we originally stumbled on this hotel by chance, in need of sustenance we decided to try it, and how glad we did!

Maybe not the highest number of stars (no TV in the rooms (thank goodness) and internet access was intermittent),

Thus I created, when I learned the Hotel has just two stars, according to some furnishing limitations like no TV ;-)) the phrase mentioned above: " paradise does not need stars".

It does not have features of 5 star hotels- TVs, pool bars

The room was sold as a superior double that is was not we have travelled extensively and would not expect to pay 168 euro for a small room without a TV 
We would not recommend them to anyone and would do our best to dissuade our friends from going to this over priced and over rated. Hotel.

There is a lovely little pool and as there are no TV's in the rooms your sleep will not be disturbed by noisy neighbours.

The hotel is in a superb location and the staff is experienced friendly and helpful.

WiFi was good

Service by all staff was friendly and professional throughout

When we arrived in the hotel we were welcomed very friendly.

we loved our stay- its a quaint hotel, with friendly staff,.

We stayed for 3 nights, we had a fabulous stay and the staff were super friendly.

Reception staff were really friendly and helpful.

The staff is friendly and the entire hotel is full of Spanish antiques.

Everything was top notch, from the extremely friendly receptionist to the sweet only Spanish speaking breakfast lady !

The staff were very friendly and welcoming and gave us a local map with info on where to go and some recommendations on where to eat.

The whole staff was very kind and helpful and the cleaning lady Antonia was very friendly.

And the two different hosts we had (concierge/check in person the same) not very friendly.

Staff were lovely & so helpful, super friendly & they spoke excellent english.

Staff are multilingual, friendly, available and cannot do enough for you.

Was an amazing experience to stay in this wonderful restored building, beautiful clean and comfortable rooms and very helpful and friendly staff, car parking  closeby and reasonable price,

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location and a very nice, large and clean room with a view outside.

Central location, comfy bed, good breakfast and warm friendly staff.

We arrived at the hotel and were immediately greeted by the friendly hostess who showed us our room.

The reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

The biggest issues were that the bathroom had a horrible odor coming from the drain and the two sitting chairs were utterly worn out, one of them totally sprung and other’s fabric worn through to the frame.

Very noisy with construction next door and late night guests standing outside smoking.

Room for improvement:
- Our room smelled like cigarette smoke upon check-in.

however, the shower needed a scrub to remove some mold.

Someone smoked in the courtyard and the smoke entered our window above it.

but strange room with the toilet the opposite side of the room to the bathroom.Overall disappointing .Unless you like old musty buildings go for something more modern

Wifi was spotty and there was the faint smell of what could have been sewage coming from the bathroom,

though guests are not supposed to smoke anyway).

The only thing I didn't like about this hotel was some smell.

Only gripe was smoking guests in central courtyard- smell wafted into our room.

The only negative aspect was the strange smell coming out of the bathroom, I hope they
will fix this problem.

You enter to the smell of beeswax, the sight of gleaming wood and a feeling if entering someone's home.

The bad:  There was an odd smell in the room.

Next, the junior suite they had for us smelled horrible, like a combination of "old room" and smoke.

Unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable, the sitting room furniture was so old we thought we might break it, the bathroom had a retched smell, and the room made lots of creaking sounds during the night.

The room was lovely and the staff very helpful in assisting us to park our car.

The service staff were warm, charming and efficient.

Great staff, conveniently located in the old town yet a peaceful setting next to the Ramon Corrales gallery.

Reception was beyond helpful and friendly.Im usually a modernist

The staff were professional and courteous.

Checkout process was smooth and the staff was happy to check for different activities for us.

Very traditional hotel and very helpful staff to welcome you.

The staff is super nice and I strongly recommend for à superb experience.

The welcome was warm and informative, our room was absolutely delightful and the hotel was just gorgeous, giving guests a real feel for Spanish life of old

The hotel was cozy and elegant, with a caring and conscientious staff.

Best of all - the most helpful staff ever - could not do enough to help.

The shower leaked through the door, there was mold and rot on the baseboards, poorly applied silicone caulk around the shower door, discolored wallpaper, the sink barely drained, smudges on the walls, the towel rack was falling off the wall, the sink faucet looked like it came from a dumpster dive.

but they were not noisy,

Two small negatives: It is pretty difficult to figure out how to turn on the shower.

My only complaint would be a slightly damp smell from the bathroom after use,

Did not realize that our shower was inside our room with no room separation; basically the shower was right next to our bed.

but well equipped rooms though toilet facilities a bit too close if you are sharing a room.

The toilet was in a frosted glass cubicle, as was the shower in another, and they were both part of the "living" area.

The sink outside the bath cubical allows water to spill all over the bench.

As soon as we entered the room, we did not like the strange layout and immediately asked reception to be transferred to the higher level quarters which apparently offer a more conventional bathroom.

It had leaked and flooded the room underneath so we had to move rooms.

Only downside was the room itself which awkwardly has no separate bathroom (!

But I am in a different room and I need a shaver for myself!

The only negative was the bathroom layout - there really isn't a way to get dressed anywhere

Shame the shower smelt really disgusting after use- they must have an issue with their plumbing.

We booked a double room with request a for a bath

Only thing to mention is the toilet and shower open directly into the bedroom, so not much privacy if you were two friends rather than a couple.

although there  was someone else's long hair on the floor in the bathroom.

Internet speed in the room could have been quicker and bathroom layout could do with a better design as sink would have been better in the bathroom rather than in the general room.

However I wish the toilet had a proper door instead of the glass door.

but we could hear every time someone in a nearby room flushed the toilet which was kind of annoying.

Also, it was slightly difficult to get out there (we're in our 70's) because the door was behind a curtain which didn't open completely and you had to step over the sill and down two stairs to get outside.

but you need to open two cupboard doors to get to the safe cupboard.

It is an odd, uncomfortable and unacceptable arrangement for both of us , made even more unpleasant as the almost transparent doors that did not go from floor to ceiling offered very little privacy.

), the toilet being enclosed by a door on one side of the bedroom with the shower on the other side and the sink in the sleeping area.

However, we had a situation  with our room that wasn’t resolved properly (got there one night to find the room door completely opened.

2nd floor rooms are tiny with sink in the room, shower and toilet in main room as well closed by sliding door (as

The only small reservation was that the toilet is essentially in your room (a frosted glass door in view of the rest of the room is not privacy) - this seems to be a trend among hotels modernising and I'm not sure it is a positive one.

although I wish there were a bathroom door in my room.

but when we went there & opened the door it hadn't been made up – back to Reception & we were then allocated room 221 - maybe a "whoops!"

The only negatives were the toilet and showering arrangements (see-through doors straight onto the room) not everyone wants to be in full view! !

but satisfactory lunch and cocktails, and very odd bathroom door situation (see other reviews).

The two areas was a part of the room with only a (frosted) glass door between.

but would waive the car parking fee, to top it off my rental car acquired a dent in the door whilst in the hotel car park.

To get it out of the way--as others have noted, the layout the room is a bit off with the toilet and shower not being really separated (small doors for each) from the main room.

The sink was in the bedroom, the shower was of good quality and separated from the room only by its glass door and the toilet separated from the room by a swinging glass door.

Not keen on the bathroom design, just a glass door separating the toilet from the room, so not very sound proof, so bare this in mind if for some reason you're not on intimate terms with your room mate!

And as others have experienced the glass toilet door is a little awkward as it is in lounge area .

The room was large and comfortable - I note that other reviewers felt somewhat uncomfortable with how the shower and toilet are just separated from the main bedroom by clear and opaque glass doors,

The staff was very helpful and friendly- we felt right at home!

Wonderful atmosphere.Professional and friendly staff.

The view was great, though, and the staff was friendly.

Alex is absolutely unflappable, extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

We found a friendly and excellent service at the bar as well as at the restaurant; we had a great dinner under the sky.

The hotel is very nicely situated and the staff is very very friendly.

The staff were all professional, friendly and caring ( we had a serious family issue unfolding at home and even before we arrived their flexibility was so understanding. .luckily all was well and we never had to call on it!)

Good location, lovely hotel with good service and friendly staff.

Hotel was very nice, clean and friendly staff.

very friendly staff except for bar staff.

Courteous, friendly and professional employees.

We were very happy and the views amazing,
The polite, professional and friendly staff are assets to the company and the breakfast is top drawer with lots of variety and we loved the fresh orange juice.

Well located, jaw-dropping view over the valley, beautiful appointments and grounds, friendly service, and a gourmet breakfast.

Staff incredibly friendly and helpful across reception, restaurant, bar and housekeeping.

All staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

The staff , almost without exception, is helpful and friendly, most especially the Reception Desk who took the extra step to be helpful.

He is so serviceminded, friendly and perfect in the job he does.

but a little strange if you like privacy.

Also wasn’t quite impressed by the lack of privacy in the bathroom area in the room - the sink is in the sitting area.

but this appears to be the trend in the days of total transparency, it seems even privacy has to be relegated!

The toilet was in the middle of the space with partial glass affording no privacy.

although enclosed in "privacy" glass are "open" to the bedroom.

Only glitch is the layout of bathroom which is a terrible design and allows no privacy.

It meant a real lack of privacy at times when no-one wants an audience and sent my husband seeking an alternative!

For me it's not the lack of privacy it really is impractical l moving the towel rail and putting up hooks might help

The lay out of the bathroom didn't really give you any privacy and I wonder if any of the hotel management had stayed in the rooms to pick up on this problem.

The sink was in the seating area, the toilet & shower rooms were walk in from the sitting room - glass doors with clear and smoked glass - so very little privacy.

but with terrible lack of privacy as there is no door to bathroom.

The wash basin was in the lounge area, next to the tea/coffee, so there was no privacy whatsoever.

Rooms are weird with the bathroom open to the rest of the room so there's basically no privacy.

This arrangement allows for little privacy while using the toilet.

We found the doors gave adequate privacy, which a couple of people thought was a problem for them.

Rally lovely hotel, offering fabulous views, a good restaurant serving lovely breakfast and evening meal options, soundproofed and comfortable rooms, charming helpful staff

but great spa and the staff from reception to restaurant all great.

This is such a peaceful and quiet stying with great views food, amenities and staff.

And, four members of my group were scolded by the staff for bringing their own bottle of wine and snacks onto the outdoor terrace.

This hotel has all the amenities you could wish for with wonderful and helpful staff.

All the staff are great particularly Ivan in the restaurant, who made sure our anniversary was extra special with some cava.

From the second we stepped in the door we were met with excellent service,from the guys at the desk to MR Millwall behind the bar to the wonderful lady who put a bath towel in my room.

Worth spending a little more to get something bigger than a standard room  Staff were excellent

Cleanness, location, food, staff were premium.

Hotel amenities are excellent with very welcoming and attentive staff.

Catalonia Reina Victoria

but on this occasion they did (almost unheard of in Ronda) and there was no way of heating the room.

Our only complaint was that the room never cooled down which made it hard to sleep at night.

Room 103 faces the outside walkway, and the HVAC did not even work!

In our duplex the narrow staircase has a 90 deg turn with a landing near the top and a 180 fan configured turn about halfway up with four or five narrow triangular steps.

Bedside lights had 'coldwhite' LED lamps instead of 'warmwhite' and we coulddn't get the aircon to work even with the use of the bedside fan switch.

Reason: door opener was not properly fixed (could harm your hand) hotel room was noise; sounds from other rooms, (night fights and repairing), airconditioning didn’t work proper way.

Our only slight problem was not mastering the air-con so we had quite a warm night,

As we turned on the A/C, a terrible smell filled the room: smoke, soon to be replaced by kitchen smells.

However most upsetting was the fact that we could not sleep at night as air conditioning did not work and room was very hot and humid.

but the water was downright freezing in early June.

My only complaint was that the heating/air conditioning didn't work at all: the information folder said that instructions were on the wall,

The annoying: the air-conditioning is apparently one of those central control systems where it either heats or cools

but sadly it was far too hot the heating we couldn’t appear to turn off was on all night long so we slept with the French doors open all night .

The parador could save a lot in heating costs.

In addition the extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work and the shower was so loose that it almost came away from its holding on the wall.
