Aparthotel Princess Playa

This hotel is dated, but very clean. The furniture is extremely uncomfortable and in need of updating. The bedroom had two single beds pushed together as a king size bed. They didn't even have king size sheets, so you basically had a single bed touching the other single bed in the room. The pool has no umbrellas for shade. You need to buy tokens at 3 euros for each the washer and the dryer. We will not return here unless it gets a major overhaul.

Location was perfect and the staff was polite. Breakfast was ok. Room was clean and modest but not very comfortable. It had been recently renewed. This is not a hotel it’s an apartment hotel. I don’t know what the difference is, but it’s surely not 4 star. If you enjoy peace and quiet, do not choose this hotel. Walls are paper thin, literally. We were able to hear everything our neighbours did, even quiet conversations, walking, shower, cooking.. It was like being in the same room. There was loud party with music, shouting, screaming and drinking next door and we had to call to reception because it was almost midnight and we wanted to sleep. They promised to fix it. Music went off, but the party continued. Same went on next evening. We also woke when our neighbours returned and every time someone walked in the corridor.

We stayed here in 2019 and in our review then, we said we would stay here again, so that’s exactly what we did. In Marbella for 10 nights, this is in a fantastic location, almost literally on the beach, centred between the Port and the Marina, it’s only 5 minutes walk to the Old Town. This is an Aparthotel and we chose a 1 bed apartment. We were on the 5th floor looking straight out onto the beech. Cleanliness is top drawer. Staff are excellent and the breakfast was good. For Marbella and unless you want to stay in a 4 star hotel, this is great value. I could not find anything wrong here.
