What guests think

At Óbal Hotel Marbella, reviewers consistently highlight the unbeatable central location between the Old Town and the beach, friendly and efficient staff, modern interiors, and generally clean, comfortable rooms, with a lively rooftop terrace featuring a small pool.

Guests love the rooftop views but note the pool is tiny with limited loungers. The central setting makes sightseeing easy, though some street-facing rooms report nighttime noise. Parking is off site in nearby garages and can be inconvenient or unclear, and breakfast, often praised for variety, earns occasional just-okay comments or feels early. Expect a stylish, city-center base with standout service and walkable access rather than resort-style amenities.

Neu renoviertes Hotel ideal gelegen zwischen Altstadt und Strandquartier. Viele Geschäfte und Restaurants in der Umgebung. Mein Zimmer mit Balkon und Blick über die Altstadt. Auf dem Dach gibt es einen Pool mit gemütlicher Poolbar und Restaurant mit tollen Ausblick und gutem Essen. Man kann nicht beim Hotel parken. Das Parkhaus Indigo Avenida del Mar ist in 3 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar.

Dejligt og flot hotel. Venlig og hjælpsom personale. Rigtig god beliggenhed nær alt vigtigt. Det lå fx lige ved siden af den hyggelige gamle bydel. Vi boede på 7. etage, og hørte ingen larm fra byen overhovedet. God morgenmads buffet. Dejligt værelse med en lidt hård og god seng. Poolområdet er ikke så stort, og det ville være mit eneste ønske, at der kunne blive plads til bare lidt flere liggestole, da der kan opleves kø til solsengen, Hele hotellet er rent og pænt. Vi kommer gerne igen.

Veldig rent og fint hotell, sentralt plassert i Marbella med kort vei til strand og handlegater. God frokostbuffet med frisk frukt, typisk britiske frokostmat (egg, bacon, sausage, bønner), gode skinker og oster, samt søt bakst. Serviceinnstilt personale. På bildet kan det se ut som bassenget på takterrassen er større enn det er, det egner seg mest til pynt eller en kort dukk nede i vannet. Takterrassen er ellers veldig koselig, med tilgang på kaffe, mocktails og alkoholholdig drikke.

A very nice stay however a couple of disappointments. On the facilities it says parking available. This is not the case, there is public parking nearby. I was expecting valet parking with a concessional rate. Needs to be clearer prior to arrival. Also only one bath towel in bathroom. Had to ask multiple times for second towel. Otherwise a nice stay. Very central

Brilliant hotel in a great location. The room was large and had everything we needed including air conditioning. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The Sky Bar was fab and did lovely cocktails. There was a small gym with modern equipment. It’s ideally located for the beach (about a five minute walk) and right next to the old town and plenty of restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend and would like to go back there in the future.

Das Hotel hat die perfekte Lage zwischen Strand und Altstadt. Das Zimmer war sehr groß allerdings hat es wenig Ablageflächen und keinerlei Haken zum Aufhängen von Garderobe etc. mit Ausnahme des Kleiderschranks. Die Möbel sind sehr einfach für ein Hotel dieser Preisklasse. Nur weiße Wände ohne irgendwas. Das Essen auf der Rooftopbar war sehr gut (Cesar‘s Salat!). Das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend - wir würden das Hotel sicher wieder buchen. Eine 3-stündige Verlängerung ab Abreisetag wurde uns für kleines Geld gewährt - klasse!

Hotel location excellent, old town block behind hotel and goes on for streets. Lots of shopping and restaurants in the area. Cross the street and walk to the beach. Lots of great restaurants. The only downside was our room was on the 3rd floor balcony on side street with a small view towards the park and the noise from the side street was intense every night. Also garbage collection was loud. Bed and pillows comfy, room clean. Sonia and Salvador from the front desk were excellent! Parking 2 mins from hotel for 20 euros/day. Buffet breakfast very good with great park views.

Compliments to David, who was our waiter in the dining room he was very professional and friendly. Compliments to the chef for an amazing fresh tuna loin and to die for mashed potatoes which I don’t normally order as a side. Breakfast every day was tasty and fresh. Compliments to Paula at the front desk who assisted me and making sure that my phone was working. She was patient and kind. The owner should be very proud of his new hotel. Not only is the hotel first class, but the staff is even better.

Had a wonderful few days staying in this warm, friendly hotel. Location is perfect as beach few minutes away and behind us the beautiful old town. When we arrived Sara was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Although we arrived in the morning she arranged for us to have a room earlier and the use of shower on last day was so beneficial. Without her we wouldn’t have known you could get the boat to Puerto Banus which we thoroughly enjoyed and went at teatime for dinner and then got a taxi back. Just wish we could have stayed for longer ….. we will definitely come back. 😎
