What guests think

Hotel El Pilar Andalucia consistently impresses with its central setting on Plaza de Flores, stylish newly renovated interiors, spacious comfortable rooms, very friendly staff, and a high standard of cleanliness throughout.

Rooms are praised for design, comfort and size, with select suites offering terraces or hot tubs, while a few reviews noted noise from the square or bar and occasional issues such as small bathrooms, limited storage or air‑conditioning controls. Facilities highlight the on‑site restaurants and a rooftop bar with views; there is no pool or gym, parking is off‑site in nearby paid garages, and the pedestrian location means vehicles cannot reach the door. Breakfast is widely enjoyed, though some found service slow or the set menu limited, and one guest found the Japanese dishes overly salty. Ideal for travellers seeking a stylish, well‑run base in a lively, walkable area.

A beautiful property in the “heart of the city”. While parking must be found at locations some distance from the hotel, it did not take away from our very positive stay. Excellent value for price - I would stay at this property again in a heart-beat !

You can’t beat this location in the center of the Plaza de Flores. The hotel is extremely comfortable & the staff is lovely! There’s a great rooftop bar with exceptional views & a sushi bar on the floor below. We are big fans & always stay here when visiting Estepona

Absolutely lovely boutique hotel on iconic square. Lovely large room on the 6th floor with huge wraparound terrace that included a large hot tub (which we filled with cool water and sat in during the heat wave!) 3 excellent restaurants and gorgeous rooftop bar with incredible views. Universally respectful and friendly service. Great value for the $$! Would absolutely stay again when in stunning Estepona

Beautiful Hotel right in Old Town Estepona. Being quite new everything is lovely. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Bar on the top floor is great. Our room was very well appointed. NOTE, you cant drive to the hotel at all. There is free parking a 15 min walk away or underground 5 mins away for 17 euros.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel specially the surrounding Andalusian architecture. Staff welcomed us warmly and helped us securing booking for dinner . Room spacious and spotless . Hotel overall look and feel is excellent . The only drawback is that the sound of diners under the hotel are clearly heard in the room on the first floor . After 11 no more sound . Will come back and highly recommended .

Prachtig hotel! Heel schoon en netjes. Personeel was ook erg vriendelijk. Ligging hotel midden tussen de winkels. Helaas was onze airco van onze kamer kapot en hebben we dit meerdere malen aangegeven. Pas na 5x melden is onze melding opgepakt. Dit was erg jammer. Gelukkig heeft het personeel het goed opgepakt en de airco gerepareerd en ons gratis ontbijt aangeboden. Ik kom zeker nog terug.

The El Pilar is situated in the heart of old town Estepona. It looks an imposing property from the outside, and yet inside it feels modern and smaller. Beautiful attention the detail such as the carved door surrounds to each room. The weather was terrible while we stayed, and we would have liked to option to use a lounge area; the only one the hotel has is in the reception lobby & it was way too cold, wet and windy to use this, so the only option is to relax in your room when in the hotel. The Spa was also closed. Many people comment on the noise in the hotel, and while there was some noise from the hotel bar, Coopers Bar below us, it went quiet around midnight, so wasn’t a problem for us. The staff were all lovely, special shout out to Hosè Antonio the bar man in Coopers Bar. Despite the weather it was a lovely stay and we hope to return and see Estepona in the sunshine.

We really enjoyed our stay at El Pilar. It is right in the middle of everything = perfect location. It is a stunning property, the rooms are great, and the restaurants on site were all excellemt. We were very happy with our stay overall. We did have problems with the validating of the parking (they did not have any validated passes to give us costing us 5 euros a night) that was not handled well by the staff. But even this could not put a damper on our enthusiasm for this place!

Un hôtel super bien placé sur une ravissante place fleurie à deux pas de la plage et des restaurants Hôtel assez récent, pas trop grand, déco sympa, très “boutique” hôtel Accueil très sympa et personnel serviable Comme beaucoup de “boutique” hôtels des petits défauts, la musique très forte dans le couloir de l’autre côté de la porte de la chambre, porte de la chambre qui ne fermait pas (problème de serrure), petit dej au sous sol alors que l’hôtel a de belles terraces, bar roof top ouvert au public, trop petit et vite complet … Mais cet hôtel reste une bonne adresse à Estepona
