Great location close to Old town and beach. Room had balcony and view towards sea. Air con was great as was TV with good choice of UK channels. No auto light sensor in corridor to room was a bit anoying as difficult to find switch in dark. Great reception staff.

Hotel El Faro in Marbella is all about location. Just one block from the beach and right next to the old lighthouse and the Duque de Ahumada promenade, it puts you within easy walking distance of vendors, shops, and restaurants—perfect for enjoying everything the area has to offer. The hotel itself is a bit dated in terms of furniture and appliances, but everything was clean and functioned well. My room had a small kitchen equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, stove, microwave, sink, cookware, and utensils, which made it very convenient for a longer stay. The beds were a little firm for my preference, but overall, the stay was comfortable and pleasant. If you're prioritizing location and value, Hotel El Faro is a solid choice. I would consider staying here again and recommend it to travelers who want to be close to the beach at a reasonable price.

Great location and walkable. Property could use a make over as dated. Rooms very tiny (studio) with minimal amenities. Old furniture and tile floors chipped in many areas. Location is only plus in my opinion.

Good location for a couple of nights

We stayed here for 2 nights and was in a prime location for what we wanted. Clean spacious room and great staff. The bar and pool area was nice. Compared to some of the four star hotels we have stayed in, this 3 star hotel is better.

Unfailingly polite and friendly staff. Would recommend the hotel were daily with maid service. Tea and coffee supplies in room appear ad hoc. Even budget hotels manage to keep supply on a daily basis. So a couple of minor carps, but overall a good hotel in a really good position with nearly all bases covered

You get what you pay for. Beware the Parking!

Served a purpose for us and we got what we paid for. Handy to the beach and restaurants. Disappointed with the parking situation as we booked it for that reason. Car park was full so had to park offsite for 25euro.

Good value

The hotel was just a few steps from the main beach and surrounded by restaurants and bars. The room itself was a decent size and had a small kitchen which was suitable for making snacks or small meals only.

Great location but noisy

Excellent location and breakfast. Lovely outside seating area. Very noisy later in the evening and early morning. Chairs on balcony and in room above. Spoilt what could have been a great stay.
