Reviews
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
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
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!
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 .
