The train station is steps away and quiet overnight, though the walk to town is steep, and parking nearby is straightforward. Several reviews mention tasty dinners on site and a small bar for evening drinks. A few noted discomfort around the owners’ dog. Expect a welcoming, low-key stay with standout hospitality and relaxing outdoor spaces.

We stayed here for a week and had an absolutely exceptional experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless, and the whole building was kept to the highest standard of cleanliness. The standout feature was the beautiful garden, full of gorgeous plants with both sunny spots and plenty of shade, along with a very clean and inviting pool that was perfect for cooling off. What really made our stay so special was our wonderful host. He was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond when we had some car issues by ringing around local garages and helping us get everything sorted. He was also very knowledgeable about the local area, from things to do in and around Álora to hidden gems further afield, and his advice really helped us refine our itinerary for the week. On top of that, he was warm, kind and easygoing, which made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived, even when we got there very late at nearly half past one in the morning. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening and it was fantastic. If you do not want to venture into Álora, which also has a great choice of bars and restaurants, this is a perfect option after a long day of travelling. We had a car but it is also really conveniently placed for the train station, so it is ideal for people who do not have a rental for the week. Overall this was a perfect stay with a brilliant mix of comfort, beautiful surroundings, and the most wonderful hospitality. We could not recommend it highly enough

Olivier was a wonderful host. He carried my bag upstairs for me! The pool/garden are and patio next to our room were very comfortable places to relax. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious down to the freshly made crepes with himemade compotes. Free parking right next to the house.

De 10! Instalaciones muy limpias, habitaciones amplias luminosas, baños nuevos y muy limpios, cama y almohadas comodísimas, lugar silenciosos y el desayuno muy completo y rico. Además comimos allí y cantidades abundantes y ricas. Oliver cuida hasta el más mínimo detalle. El patio es precioso y la piscina soleada y al haber pocas habitaciones prácticamente dispones de las instalaciones para tí. Lugar para relajarse y para repetir! Muy recomendable!

This hotel is delightful! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. We loved everything about this hotel. It is charming, spotlessly clean and the breakfast was superb. We enjoyed a night cap from the bar in front of a warm stove in the living room . The weather was cold this January so every comfort was provided. Olivier, the owner looked after us very well and we will definitely return. The hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the train station and there is a bus nearby which takes you to town centre in 5 minutes. It is also possible to walk up to visit the Arab Castle from the hotel. A steep walk but worth it! I cannot recommend El Cielo Azul highly enough. Be sure to stay there if you’re visiting Alora .

La beauté des lieux intérieurs et de la cours sont exceptionnels. B&B de grande qualité en commençant par l’accueil de notre hôte et de ses services. En plus il parle français qui est un plus pour nous. La cours aménagée en jardin et ayant une belle piscine ce décor nous a convaincu de prendre nos repas du soir sur place. Le petit-déjeuner inclus est copieux et plusieurs produits fait maison. Bon choix de bières belges, locales et européennes. Bien situé pour se promener dans la région comme le Caminito del rey. Avantage d’être accessible en train car adossé à la gare mais sans ses inconvénients. Coin très tranquille.

We had a great time here, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for Oliver to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. Great choice of food for breakfast and they were happy to make us an omelette when we asked! We ate here on 2 evenings, due to not many local restaurants being open (Sunday and Monday) and the food was very nice. The pool is lovely and much bigger than I was expecting for such a small hotel. Sun beds would benefit from having shade provided by umbrella’s as they didn’t fall into shade until late in the afternoon. Our room was big enough and had an air-con unit which was needed. The hotel provides 4 hours of air-con use daily and you can top this up at a cost of €1 for every additional 4 hours. The bathroom was very clean and modern. We would recommend El Cielo Azul for a lovely, relaxing stay.

This was a lovely hotel and would rate it higher than a 2 star. It was spotlessly clean, open and airy. Good air conditioning. Nice gardens and pool. Felt very homely and friendly. Breakfast was fresh and good choices. With fresh fruit, pancakes bread and meats. Plenty of parking at the property and just around the corner. Was very safe. Staff were great, friendly, hard working and would help with where to dine and activities. Nothing too much bother. Train station very close, giving easy access to surrounding towns and cities. You could walk into Alora but it was very up hill. Or short drive.

Wir waren für eine Nacht hier, nach einer Wanderung auf dem Caminito del Rey. Die Unterkunft ist landestypisch und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist neu und die Zimmer sind geräumig. Das Frühstück war lecker und man kann draußen im hübsch gestalteten Garten sitzen. Der Ort Arola ist ebenfalls sehenswert. Es ist ein hübsches Bergdorf und liegt in einem schönen grünen Tal. Beim nächsten Mal bleiben wir länger.

We had a great time here, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for Oliver to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. Great choice of food for breakfast and they were happy to make us an omelette when we asked! We ate here on 2 evenings, due to not many local restaurants being open (Sunday and Monday) and the food was very nice. The pool is lovely and much bigger than I was expecting for such a small hotel. Sun beds would benefit from having shade provided by umbrella’s as they didn’t fall into shade until late in the afternoon. Our room was big enough and had an air-con unit which was needed.

Wonderful, very friendly and attentive owners. Our room overlooked a train station - but it was not a bother and sort of charming in its own way. The family room was big, comfortable and clean. We felt really welcomed and looked after. The breakfast was a nice treat.

We stayed here for a week and had an absolutely exceptional experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless, and the whole building was kept to the highest standard of cleanliness. The standout feature was the beautiful garden, full of gorgeous plants with both sunny spots and plenty of shade, along with a very clean and inviting pool that was perfect for cooling off. What really made our stay so special was our wonderful host. He was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond when we had some car issues by ringing around local garages and helping us get everything sorted. He was also very knowledgeable about the local area, from things to do in and around Álora to hidden gems further afield, and his advice really helped us refine our itinerary for the week. On top of that, he was warm, kind and easygoing, which made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived, even when we got there very late at nearly half past one in the morning. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening and it was fantastic. If you do not want to venture into Álora, which also has a great choice of bars and restaurants, this is a perfect option after a long day of travelling. We had a car but it is also really conveniently placed for the train station, so it is ideal for people who do not have a rental for the week. Overall this was a perfect stay with a brilliant mix of comfort, beautiful surroundings, and the most wonderful hospitality. We could not recommend it highly enough

La beauté des lieux intérieurs et de la cours sont exceptionnels. B&B de grande qualité en commençant par l’accueil de notre hôte et de ses services. En plus il parle français qui est un plus pour nous. La cours aménagée en jardin et ayant une belle piscine ce décor nous a convaincu de prendre nos repas du soir sur place. Le petit-déjeuner inclus est copieux et plusieurs produits fait maison. Bon choix de bières belges, locales et européennes. Bien situé pour se promener dans la région comme le Caminito del rey. Avantage d’être accessible en train car adossé à la gare mais sans ses inconvénients. Coin très tranquille.

This was a lovely hotel and would rate it higher than a 2 star. It was spotlessly clean, open and airy. Good air conditioning. Nice gardens and pool. Felt very homely and friendly. Breakfast was fresh and good choices. With fresh fruit, pancakes bread and meats. Plenty of parking at the property and just around the corner. Was very safe. Staff were great, friendly, hard working and would help with where to dine and activities. Nothing too much bother. Train station very close, giving easy access to surrounding towns and cities. You could walk into Alora but it was very up hill. Or short drive.

Además comimos allí y cantidades abundantes y ricas. Oliver cuida hasta el más mínimo detalle. El patio es precioso y la piscina soleada y al haber pocas habitaciones prácticamente dispones de las instalaciones para tí. Lugar para relajarse y para repetir! Muy recomendable!

This hotel is delightful! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. We loved everything about this hotel. It is charming, spotlessly clean and the breakfast was superb. We enjoyed a night cap from the bar in front of a warm stove in the living room . The weather was cold this January so every comfort was provided. Olivier, the owner looked after us very well and we will definitely return. The hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the train station and there is a bus nearby which takes you to town centre in 5 minutes. It is also possible to walk up to visit the Arab Castle from the hotel. A steep walk but worth it! I cannot recommend El Cielo Azul highly enough. Be sure to stay there if you’re visiting Alora .

We loved this property as it was so full of character and the position next to the station meant we could travel into Malaga and further afield easily without driving and having to park. Don’t worry about the noise as the trains don’t run overnight and the accommodation was so peaceful. We loved the pretty garden and the pool. Olivier was a wonderful host and made us feel very cared for. Every day he had excellent recommendations for where to go etc. And Alora itself was a great little town topped with a pretty castle.
