Many guests praised the helpful and friendly staff, mentioning specific employees like Teresa in housekeeping and manager Jack in catering. The food quality and variety at the buffet were frequently highlighted, with made-to-order options such as stir-fries and omelettes. The hotel’s gardens and pool areas are well maintained and peaceful, with enough sunbeds and fresh towels provided daily. Rooms are described as comfortable with powerful showers and daily cleaning, some guests enjoyed sea views from balconies. Entertainment programs including live music, flamenco, and magic shows were appreciated by visitors. Several reviews noted the dated condition of some rooms, particularly bathrooms in standard and superior rooms needing renovation. Complaints about noisy neighbors and thin walls affecting room quietness were common. Guests reported issues with the check-in process, including room allocation problems and occasional rude or unhelpful reception staff. Drinks during lunch and dinner are not included in meal plans and must be paid for separately, which was unexpected for some guests. The pool area was described as small and sometimes crowded, with some maintenance needed on Balinese beds.

Everything was very good. Pleasant service, a clean room (cleaned every day), and tasty food. One thing wasn’t great — drinks for lunch and dinner had to be paid for separately (including water, coffee, tea, etc.) and there was no kettle in the room. Very nice sea view, and I don’t know why people say the hotel needs renovation — in my opinion everything is fine.

This hotel was clean, comfortable bed, clean bedsheets. Unfortunately the shower had didn't work but there was a bathtub which was enough. The area around the hotel is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the seating arrangement in the buffet is ridiculous. The food is good and lots of variety. But they have you do this weird yellow sheet system and a ridiculous long waiting line waiting to be seated. The waiters are stressed at all times.

A very pleasant experience, a hotel with a beautifully landscaped exotic garden, with an added charm and funny decorations inspired by Halloween (I was accommodated at the end of October). Every evening they organized live music shows, magic, flamenco dancing and others. It is located very close to the sea and the cliff (max. 5 min. walk), the food is diverse and good, in an open buffet system (we had half board) and although we paid for a standard room they were kind and accommodated us in superior rooms with a view of the sea and the garden with swimming pools (theoretically they were more expensive). One of the special moments I enjoyed was the day I celebrated 30 years of marriage, during my stay at this hotel. Together with the reception staff, who were very responsive, attentive and kind, I managed to organize a pleasant surprise for my wife and the friends I was accommodated with there. I really appreciate the involvement and support provided by the hotel and its staff :)

Definitely not a 4 star hotel. Evening entertainment didn’t usually start until 10pm which is too late for young family. Only time there was a kids club was the very last day. Hotel feels dated.

Spent 4 nights here in October with my wife. No major complaints, found it to be a great Hotel. Standing out foremost were the staff. Well turned out, friendly (99%), helpful, and in our opinion hardworking. This goes from Housekeepers (Teresa and others) to Dinning (Samara and others) to many bar staff (the small(ish) English girl), and Reception (who helped us check in earlier than expected).

Arrival was bit discombobulated due to not being able to check in, nor being aware of any delay (not Hotels fault); an area is available in the Gym to shower and change. It's basically a Public toilet, with not much privacy; so you can drag your suitcases down there to rummage through - better than nothing!

Room was comfortable and clean, should have requested a kettle, but apart from that, a powerful shower and cleaned daily. Beds very very comfortable, balcony practical, small fridge, hair dryer, no iron - almost everything you need in a hotel room!

Food was good, lots and lots of selection, though beware Spanish tend to undercook most of their meats etc - not to everyone's taste! Very comprehensive selection, and varied on a daily basis. Made to order stir fry's were very nice, as were the MTO omelettes in the morning; a nice touch... Something for everybody!

Pool area is nice, though the Balinese beds could do with a little maintenance/attention/cleaning. Fresh towels are provided daily, and this area does represent a peace of mind regardless, for a little extra cost at 15/20 euros daily, depending on whether you want a bottle of wine/cava sitting in a bucket of ice alongside you!

Location was fine, close enough to everything for the upwardly mobile, a hill or steps down to the street, then beach. Beware the 'Supermarket' adjacent to the parking area, on the hill, at the main entrance to the Hotel - everything is over priced for the unsuspecting, and the hospitality is a flat zero! Much better super(mini)markets only yards away on the flat main street...

The Staff give this Hotel a heartbeat!

Thank-you Hotel Siroco!

On a side note: The green monk parakeets; a noisy Argentine invader from the 1970's, they can be heard easily around the Hotel due to their high decibel cawing, these individuals live in communal nests in the palm tree crowns. They are aggressive dive bombers, and work in numbers to browbeat morsels of food from the natives. Culls have been initiated in certain areas against these birds, and others wish to commence them due to property damage, disease, public safety, and agricultural harm (Photos Inc.). Along with view from Balinese beds, a selection of desserts, and view from balcony

We have just spent 10 days at the Best Siroco Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff are very pleasant and helpful and quick to respond to requests or queries. The hotel has lovely gardens and pool area where we never struggled to get a sunbed. The food was good with lots of choice and replenished quickly. Bedding and towels were changed frequently. The area is quite hilly, some of which are steep but my husband is 94 and still managed well. If you are having difficulties mobility scooters can be hired from the hotel and taxis are very reasonable. This was our 3rd visit this year and we are hoping to go again next year. There will always be some people who have negative comments but everyone we spoke to was very satisfied and said they would return.

First time in Benalmadena and the hotel is a perfect location to be able to visit all the different areas. Good variety of shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel, although very good, could do with a little bit of modernisation and a general lick of paint in the rooms. Beds and towels changed daily. Don’t think they replaced our glass each day though. Lots of extra bedding supplied, which we didn’t need. Air conditioning unit excellent. The walls between the bedrooms though are as thin as paper. We were disturbed most of the week by very noisy neighbours. The staff are all really polite and helpful. We were allowed to swap our even meals for lunch whenever we needed and an early breakfast on the day we checked out. The food in the restaurant was a good selection. Some of the food was colder than we would have liked though although they do have microwaves there you can use. The salad and bread selections were brilliant but the warm food did get a bit samesie after a few days hence why we changed some days to lunchtime so that we could go out of the hotel in the evening. Pool was lovely, not busy at all, loads of sun beds available. We didn’t attend any of the evening entertainment but seemed to have a good variety advertised. In general , for the price we paid we had a wonderful time, well worth the money and certainly got our monies worth from the half board offer.

Stayed here many times before as we love it here!
This time not so much! The room they gave us wasn’t what we booked! Ended up with a family room with no view what so ever! People houses and from a low floor.
Didn’t complain as we stayed for 1 night but won’t stay in a room without a sea view again.
On the plus side the room was ready for us when we arrived at 10.30am
The food was very good, something for everyone
Outside pool bar brilliant as always

Hey! We stayed at the hotel with my daughter for 3 nights, when we arrived at the hotel we received a very bad reception, we were never told where to find all the necessary places in the hotel, we had to look for the places ourselves!
When we went to the room, we were greeted by a very dirty floor, all the corners and moldings of the room were completely full of dust, the toilet door was full of some toothpaste marks, pieces of soap used in the shower stall, black hair on the floor (we are blondes ourselves) the air conditioner was so full of dust that when we turned it on, dust flew out! The sheets on one of the beds had holes. The common areas such as the pool area and the pool bar areas were also really unclean!
The only good thing about this hotel was the rich breakfast buffet!
At the check-out stage, we were only told, okay thank you!

Couples week away
Hotel in excellent position for beach days and resort restaurants and nightlife you could chose evenings around the harbour area or bars of the beach also only a 15 min walk to torremolinos which offers a lot more entertainment..Hotel itself is well maintained and clean we stayed Breakfast only and it had a varied selection of good quality options .Pool area very clean although pool was was like getting into warm bath in 30c heat what do you expect ....pool bar area very good and competitive with local bars price wise .
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
