We don't book the most expensive hotels when we travel because we are in the rooms basically just to sleep. Got lucky with this little gem in Nerja for our first night in Spain. Flew into Malaga, rented a car, and spent the first night here, in this delightful small town on the Mediterranean. The location can't be beat: there is parking lot (which the reception gives guests a voucher) literally behind the hotel, and the beach is not much farther. Historic streets with beautifully quaint buildings make meandering enjoyable, and they're close to this hotel. From here, you can easily walk to many outstanding restaurants, shops, and the gorgeous Balcony of Europe. The room was perfect. Beds are a bit firmer than the typical US hotel has, but this one offered a fine night's sleep for these weary travelers. Everything in the room was clean as a whistle. Linens in the bed and bath were spotless and in great condition. Bathroom was a good size but whoever designed the shower had obviously not used it. The glass door was narrower than the opening, so water splattered out all over the floor, of course. During our stay, a very responsible staff member spent a long time cleaning every surface of the lobby on her hands and knees. Seriously, you could probably eat off the floor, she cleaned it so well. Breakfast the following morning was plentiful, delicious, and quick since it was a self-serve buffet. The young lady tending the coffee machine prepared us the most delicious cups, and the orange juice was the best we had on this entire trip! We heartily recommend this hotel for a reasonably-priced (off-season), spotless, pleasant stay in Nerja.
