Property managers were so helpful and easy to contact when I couldn’t find my email with the information I needed since we arrived so late on our flight. Super clean, view was amazing from every part of the city! I felt immersed in the community & the walkability of Mijas is insane! I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.

Beautiful would recommend to anyone, due to the circumstances we all find our selves in. No restaurant open apart from Friday’s and Saturday’s. No fault of theirs it’s just what we all have to though at the minute. Everything else fab. Peace and quiet with no dogs barking

Loved our stay here, ideal location just off one of the small squares of Mijas with an abundance of bars and restaurants on your doorstep and spectacular views all around! On arrival we had a friendly check in and our room was really spacious with a Juliet balcony, twin beds and a large day bed and it was absolutely spotless. The style and decor is very spanish and traditional which matches the village perfectly. Bathroom was spacious too and again spotlessly clean. We only stayed two nights which was enough to explore Mijas and we'd highly recommend.

The location was brilliant central to the village, but lovely and quiet, the beds were very comfortable, the bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Great shower, and bathroom. Mini bar was a good feature and well priced. If we were being really picky it would have been nice to have tea and coffee making facitities in the room. Can definitely recommend this haven for a few days break in Mijas, we'll be back.

Cozy
Fabulous location walkable to everything, but be prepared to carry your luggage up hill and many steps. And once you get there, the building does not have a lift. If you are able to do the stairs, we did have a nice balcony with a view of the Mediterranean. Room quite small, but okay for one or two nights. We would stay here again.

Hidden Gem - in several ways
We were delighted with this little hotel and would consider it a true hidden treasure - in several respects: as other reviews have mentioned, it is a bit tricky to find. Park in the main municipal, multi-level garage (for a bargain price of 1E per day) and then make your way up the hill. As soon as the narrowing street opens up, look to your left for the blue H sign. Follow it around the corner and there you are! Simple rooms, strong wi-fi, fine beds and pillows, and a spotlessly clean bathroom with a great shower. Our room (#8) had both town and sea views off the balcony. Loved our stay. Excellent value for the money.

Great value for money in Mijas
Our room was very clean and we had a lovely outlook with a small balcony. The room was well equipped with a safe, television and a fridge. The bed was small and pretty hard but scrupulously clean. It was tricky to find and if you have heavy luggage there are many stairs to climb. In a great location. We stayed one night on the way back to the airport and it was perfect for this.
