Apartments Province of Malaga

In the city center, it took me a long drive to get to the hotel entrance (many roads are one-way). The room is big enough and the bed is a bit soft. There is free parking in the blue line area on both sides of the street outside the hotel from 9pm to 9am, so you don't have to go to the hotel parking lot (hotel parking lot is 16 euros a night). There is a wok fried rice restaurant opposite the hotel. The fried rice noodles are very delicious.

This hotel does a really good job of capturing the “Hard Rock” vibe so if you’re into that you’ll enjoy your stay at this property. Lots of memorabilia dotted around, great music and some lovely touches around the hotel. We stayed in a deluxe room which was small but furnished to a good standard with a very comfy bed. Bathroom was well equipped and the balcony was a decent size. Jukebox feature on the TV is excellent and allows you to get the party started before you go out or continue it after hours in your room. Having YouTube on the TV is handy too. The pools were good, there’s 2 pretty large ones and they look great during the day and night. The rooftop deck is quite chilled, it has a bar and an infinity pool with beds to suit everyone really, lots of variety so standard cushioned beds and lower body shaped beds. There are several “Bali beds” that come with a 150 Euro minimum spend. Sounds like alot but the food & drink isn’t cheap so can be done relatively easily if you plan to stay at the pool all day and have lunch. The pools are shallow but a good size and the infinity pool offers a brilliant view over the second pool area. The second pool area features a stage and DJ booth at the top of the pool and is louder. The pool parties that Hard Rock offer are held here during the day as well so bear that in mind when selecting your bed. There is an “Eden Cafe” in this area offering burgers and the like during the day and the main “Sessions” restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner too if you book half board. We booked bed & breakfast so didn’t eat dinner at the property. We did have lunch on our first afternoon at the Eden cafe and it was very good. The breakfast offers an excellent selection & its tasty. They also have a musicians playing a different instrument each day on the outdoor terrace which is a nice touch. The bar area in the lobby lacks atmosphere and is a little on the slow side to get a drink. The cocktails are good though and its worthwhile having a drink there, especially if a live band is on. Service at the hotel was very good overall and we very much enjoyed our stay. The bellhops in particular are excellent. They provided us with a “courtesy room” on checkout day (we had a late flight) which was a nice touch after having checked out already and been out all day. The location of the hotel was further out than we thought and required you to either walk through a large, unkept subway or walk down narrow busy roads with several hills. The subway route is best and takes around 15 mins to Porto Banus but is not ideal at night. We had no issues and saw no undesirables but I do think Hard Rock could do more to make that subway more inviting (clean it, add their branding, have music playing etc). I don’t think they own it but perhaps they should take ownership of how it looks at the very least as it could quite easily put some people off staying at the hotel. The “Casino Marbella” is attached to the hotel. It’s a nice Casino but lacks atmosphere. You also need your passport to enter (I had to go back to the room) so bear that in mind too. There is a handy supermarket opposite the hotel that has a great selection of snacks, ice cream, toiletries, booze etc plus it’s really cheap. There’s a lovely little bar called “Park Lane Sports Bar” that is family run and really charming. The drinks are cheap and the people who run it are very friendly. The resident dog “Lolo” is also quite a character and really makes the bar. We also ate at a lovely little Spanish restaurant called “Noto” - the prawns, pizza and service was excellent. There are more luxurious hotels to stay in Marbella and hotels in nicer locations but for a party vibe, good food & drink, strong pool decks and friendly service the Hard Rock is a solid choice.

The room is side to the beach and very beautiful. Breakfast is very rich. Malaga drives about forty minutes. Go to Granada for more than an hour. You can take a vacation and relax, or as a travel hub. very good.

The hotel is located in the centre of the city centre, just 10 minutes walking distance from the city centre. Breakfast leaves much to desire compared to other stoppers, especially given the price of the stop, they should improve that service (caffee capsules that make out of all except coffee, do not replace the dishes, nor the races or the ponds, There were no bottles of water ...).

I paid an extra 40 euros at the hotel front desk to upgrade my room. The upgraded room was very nice, with two double beds in one room. Facing the bullring, you can see the view of the bullring from the room. Many people went to the top bar of the hotel to take pictures of the bullring. You can park temporarily for 15 minutes in the parking space marked in the square in front of the bullring opposite the hotel and then go to the public parking building recommended by the hotel.

First some conclusions: perfect hotel and location! Take the bus from Granada to the drop-off point in Nerja and you can reach the hotel within ten minutes by walking slowly. This drop-off point is also the starting point for any direction, including the white town of Frigiliana. You can also take the bus here. The cabin that sells tickets. The hotel has a very good sanitary and green environment, with representative trees and plants from all continents. The staff are enthusiastic and orderly. The room has a balcony, facing the European balcony and the seaside. The scenery is picturesque (as shown in the picture). This season is already very warm. With the temperature around 50 degrees, it must be a great place to visit during summer vacation. There are many high-quality holiday villas in the town of Nerja. I would consider staying there for a while next time.

The hotel is very good, good location, comfort, views and everything perfect. Good food. But what is really REMARKABLE is the staff, they are very nice, friendly at all times, very efficient. Since we walked through the door at reception they have explained everything to us wonderfully and all the employees are lovely. We will return for sure. Thank you very much for everything ❤️

The staff there were so nice and friendly! I booked a room on an upper floor and everything was nice, except for the bathroom. I have no idea why they placed the toilet stool separately from the bathroom, and the room for the stool was so tiny. There was also dust flying from the ventilator when I closed the door. But what I liked the most was the shampoo and body lotion provided in the room. They were all from the Holand brand Rituals, so nice and refreshing after taking a shower or a bath.

Quiet and nice place. We enjoy it a lot. We would definite recommend it to a friend.
