What guests think

At Hotel Balcón de Europa, travellers praise the unbeatable central seafront location and views, consistently friendly staff, and very clean premises, while noting dated room decor, occasional noise and hard beds, and some small or awkwardly laid-out rooms.

Facilities impress for sea views, pool and beach access, and bars, but loungers can be scarce, the pool is small, beach access has limited hours and rules, and parking or car access to the hotel can be inconvenient. Breakfast is widely praised for quality and variety, though some found the evening buffet or coffee average. Expect a scenic, central seaside stay with classic style and strong service, balanced by trade-offs around modernity, sunbed availability, and parking.

Wonderful hotel located right by the sea - our junior suite upgrade was so worth it. Just remember to contact the property in advanced to understand the parking situation, as the property isn’t accessible by car!

Great location. Having to queue up to get a sun lounger, not enough sun loungers. The sun beds on the hotel's private beach were absolutely deeadful, they were very old and looked very uncomfortable, also the umbrellas were very tatty and old, NOT THE STANDARD OF A 4 STAR HOTEL

The hotel is right by the beach and in the most popular street of Nerja. The service is outstanding, I rarely felt so welcome in a hotel. At breakfast, we had a lady pass by to make sure that everything was ok with the room, told her that the shampoo dispenser wasn’t working and it got immediately fixed. We had a Junior suite with a balcony with a magnificent view. At the beach, they have chairs and umbrellas you can use. The water the first days was perfect, but our last two days we had a red flag because of the waves. The swimming pool is beautiful and the water was warmer than the beach, although finding chairs available was harder.

The breakfast was great, the pool and sauna were situated with an excellent view. They had beach towels and a beach bag on the bed as a gift which was very nice. The only complaint was parking- very far and in an underground parking garage you have to pay a lot for and the bed is rock hard.

excellent as were the facilities and restaurant. You coukd get a free chair on a very small beach but since we were a family needing space to play we opted to go to the beach and rent chairs for 6 euro. Great location and overall experience.

Location of hotel on beach was good but the hotel entrance to access the beach was not open until 10am each day - far too late. Marketed as a private beach but it is not - non hotel guests able to gain access well before 10am. Change of beach towels only allowed between 10am -noon. It had the feel of a hotel run by rules to benefit the hotel and not the guests. Beach bar was lovely and food good. I booked a junior suite which was disappointingly dark and dated - certainly not a suite by my understanding. Overall, disappointing; certainly not worth the money and I wouldn’t recommend it.

It was an amazing experience. It was my boyfriends birthday amd they had champagne in the room to celebrate! Amazing view of the ocean. Clean room. Huge spread for breakfast. Only inconvenience is locating the hotel via car and findind where to park. Not the hotels fault. Just be prepared.

Best hotel we've ever stayed in and we've been to Nerja ten times. Room cleaned everyday, hotel was spotless, lovely staff that go out of their way to greet staff eveytime you enter the hotel. They even arranged taxi to airport. Driver met us at reception, took our cases and escorted us to carpark for €80. After staying at Hotel Balcon wouldnt stay anywhere else!

We really enjoyed our stay in this charming hotel, which felt like we were stepping back to the 60’s - in a good way! It was our first time in Nerja and I don’t think there could have been a better position. We opted for a full sea view with a balcony and were on the 9th floor, and it did not disappoint. The view of both the sea and the Balcon spectacular ❤️. The room isn’t the biggest but had everything we needed for a week’s stay. Big wardrobe space, huge comfortable bed, chair and dressing table. Big tv with UK channels 1-5 (this really isn’t a requirement for us but was a great bonus, particularly as the weather wasn’t good and we spent more time in our room than anticipated!). There was also a safe and a fridge which is always handy. The bathroom was fine, a little tired too, but everything was absolutely spotless. Good selection at breakfast and again, that view, wow! We managed to have one day of sun and opted for their private beach area. The hotel provides beach towels which is, again, handy. Very comfortable sunbed and nice to have the bar so close. All the staff we came into contact with were very pleasant and helpful. Special mention to the man who checked us out very early, he was just lovely. If you want super modern and contemporary, this isn’t the place for you, but if you like a bit of history in a well cared for hotel in an amazing position, then I can highly recommend the Balcón de Europa.

Lovely stay, but our room wasn’t the best it was an awkward shape room, it had no balcony and a large step up to the dressing table & wardrobe that you’d kill yourself on if you missed it. It was just as well we didn’t spend much time in the room cause it wouldn’t have been a room to sit in and relax, it was also very dark as it had a glass block window and a very small window along the corridor part of the room so no natural light actually got to the bed.
