Hotel Monarque Torreblanca

Hotel was clean and staff were great. Good location and nice pools and gardens.

The only problem for us was the food. It was the same thing, with different cooking sauces every day. We never looked forward to dinner has we knew it would be a let down. It was never hot and thank god for microwaves

All of the staff were courteous and friendly and efficient. The food in the main was very good, The location for us is excellent. The garden area is spacious and lovely with sunbeds always available. The bedroom was a nice size with lots of drawer and wardrobe space with plenty of hangers. The breads at breakfast were always fresh and varied and delicious. Free and easy parking a big bonus.

The hotel is on a hill, not an issue for us, but anyone with mobility issues need to be aware. However the train station is just behind the hotel and the bus stop is very close by

Buffet breakfast offering lots of choice, eggs, pancakes , waffles etc cooked as required and very tasty. Excellent choice of cheeses, cold meats salads etc as well as cooked items. Don’t expect British bacon cus you won’t get it but what is served is still tasty, lot s of fresh fruit in clouding pineapple and melon alongside tinned fruit . A good choice of cereals. The bread, rolls , croissants and pain au chocolate are great. We were very impressed. The kids will love the giant jar of Nutella!! We were leaving before breakfast opened but we were allowed in and had a good supply of cold items to choose from.

Nothing

We stayed in the hotel for four nights before going to spend the rest of our holiday in our usual villa, so our young daughter could mix with other children. She loved it! She made friends. Loved the pools! She would have lived in the pools! The food was varied and good quality. The staff were friendly. The place was kept spotless. We preferred the second pool as opposed to the main one as that felt more child friendly.

To be honest there was nothing we didn't like. The only niggle and it a slight one, was the positioning of the plug sockets and light switches in the family room we had. They were right behind the pillows and turned on everytime you moved your pillow.

The rooms were very clean and spacious. A very relaxed hotel. Plenty of sun beds available. Good food choice at both breakfast and lunch, we didn't have tea so cannot comment on that.

The room didn't have a kettle and we travelled with a baby so needed a kettle to make bottles. We had to buy and take a travel kettle. No iron also which would have been beneficial. We also had to pay an additional charge for the use of a travel cot which we was not expecting. It was £5 per night

All staff were brilliant, smiley friendly and efficient. Room was cleaned thoroughly every day and all public areas kept very clean. Food was very good and replenished regularly, Great location right next to train station for getting out and about. Lovely terrace area and nice garden area with available sunbeds. Bar prices very reasonable. Lovely cocktails for 5.50 euros each!!! Recpetion staff were lovely and free parking well managed.

Only one pillow each and no spares in room, but I could have for another, so my bad!!! No kettle in room which would have been nnice as we had to get coffee from the bar to take up to the room at the end of the evening. Not a big problem though

My room, the service in the reception, the friendliness in the reception, easy to get to, good location, my roome

The food, which is "just food", nothing to talk about, too many people, the food situation is chaos, will Never have a meal included again. No pleasure to eat in the dining room, far too noisy to enjoy

The quality of the welcome from all the staff we met was outstanding. The hotel generally was in good condition, despite it being the end of the season and very convenient for our walk (a little over 3km) along the promenade to the theatre in Fuengirola and our return on the train (4 mins, €1.80).

The correction of a couple of minor items would have led to a 10 score: 1. There were no extra pillows in the room, and 2. The bathroom could have been cleaner (hairs in the bath) and the towels in better condition (a couple had holes). Not a problem for us but ...!

Spacious, comfortable rooms with a balcony and sea views. Rich selection for breakfast and dinner (buffet). Just five minutes walk to the sea, where there are also many restaurants and cafes. The hotel has two small outdoor pools with a nice area to rest. It was possible to park the car directly at the hotel (on its territory) free of charge. Responsive staff who gave us the information we needed.

Cooked breakfast is only available from 08:00. If you need breakfast earlier, there is a limited choice - very basic, not replenished.

We only had a short stay of two nights BBD, but were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The location is great, numerous bars/restaurants locally. It's a quiet area in general, but with the train station next door to the hotel, it is easy to access other livlier places shoul you wish to and walkable into Fuengirola for a bit of exercise. The room was spotless as were all the public areas and the evening entertainment on the two nights we were there was good. Couteous and effecient staff. Loved every minute we will definitely be back for a longer stay and utilise once again the free parking. Thank you.
