Die Lage an sich ist gut. Das dazugehörige Restaurant ebenfalls.
Wenn Sie ein Hotel suchen wo sie sich definitiv NICHT entspannen können
und definitiv KEINE Ruhe finden, dann sind sie hier richtig - Von 3 Nächten waren 2 Nächte purer Horror aufgrund Fremdveranstaltungen im Hotel. Diese begannen zur Siesta gegen 14 Uhr mit 2 Stunden Gläserklirren vom Aufbau der Veranstaltung und vom Geschwätz der Arbeiter direkt unter dem Zimmer. Abends war dann Party bis 24 Uhr direkt unter dem Zimmer. Der Abbau mit Flaschen- und Gläser Lärm und wieder mit dem Geschwätz des Personals ging bis 1 Uhr 30 und bis 2 Uhr an der 2. Veranstaltung. Dazu haben sie die Abluft des Restaurants. Die Bereiche Lobby und Gartenrestaurant sowie die Terrasse im obersten Stock (Discomusik und jugendliches Publikum) sind öffentlich zugänglich, so dass dem Hotelgast keine Aufenthaltsbereiche bleiben ausser die sehr kleinen Zimmer.
Es gibt keine Zimmer mit TWIN Beds ... es sind nur Doppelbetten vorhanden mit eingelegten Einzelmatratzen 90 cm so dass eine Twin Nutzung NICHTmöglich ist. Antwort des Hotels: ich solle halt noch ein Zimmer nehmen für 1280 € für 3 Nächte und sie würden mir 10% Rabatt gewähren. Die Kommunikation vor Ort ist vom Stil her bedenklich. Das Management verlässt nicht mal das Büro - sondern lässt über die Damen am Empfang dann diese Lösung vermitteln. Keine weiteren Gespäche. Valet Parking oder Info zum Parken gab es nicht. Zum Zimmer noch: 1 Flasche geflltertes Wasser pro Tag aufs Zimmer ist nicht 5 Sterne-Like. Good Night Gruss nur eine von 3 Nächten erhalten.
Bad: Der Ablauf in der Dusche funktioniert nicht und kann auch nicht repariert werden laut Roomservivce .. da zu wenig Wasser abläuft stehen sie beim Duschen immer in einer 2-3 Zentimeter hohen Wasserpfütze.
Der kleine Balkon vor dem Zimmer ist schmutzig. Die Möbel verrostet. Es gibt keinen Pool und keinen Spa und keine Guest-Only-Area. Der Wäsche-Service hat funktioniert zu 6-Stern Preisen.
Insgesamt gehört dieses Hotel zu einer der grössten Enttäuschungen meiner Reisen.

Hotellin sijainti on rauhallinen ja keskellä Marbellan vanhaa kaupunkia. Meidän huoneeseen nro 15 ei kuulunut häiritseviä ääniä, mistä iso plussa.
Sänky oli mukava, mutta ei kovin leveä.
Osa henkilökunnasta palveli todella miellyttävästi mm. aamiaisella.
Odotuksemme hotellista oli todella suuret, koska hotelli oli saanut niin hyvät arviot. Ikävä kyllä jouduimme pettymään monessakin mielessä.
Huoneemme nro 15 oli todella pieni. Kahden hengen matkalaukuille ei ollut mitään tilaa vaan avoimet matkalaukut peittivät käytännössä koko lattiapinta-alan. Muutenkin huoneen suunnittelussa ei ollut panostettu siihen, mihin matkatavarat voisi sijoittaa ja miten niitä voisi käyttää. Kylpyhuoneen allas päästi viemärin (hajulukon hajut) ja toinen hanoista oli rikki; heilui ja vuoti lavuaarin alle (siivooja ei kiinnittänyt tähän huomiota eikä pyytänyt ketään korjaamaan).
Aamiainen oli todella suppea vaikka erilliseltä listaltakin sai tilata muutamia annoksia. Varsinkin kasvissyöjälle valikoima oli surkeahko eikä mahdollisuuksia eri vaihtoehtoihin ollut. Muutenkin se, että jokainen kahvikupillinen pitää erikseen pyytää tarjoilijalta eikä voi itse hakea, on turhan kankeaa ja hidasta.
Isoin pettymys itselleni oli se, että täytin 50 vuotta majoittumisen aikana ja mainitsin tulevasta syntymäpäivästäni, kun kirjauduimme sisään. Hotelli EI muistanut merkkipäivääni millään tavalla, mikä oli moukkamaista.
Kummallista oli se, että hotelli antoi ns. drinkkiliput käytettäväksi illallisen yhteydessä hotellin ravintolassa. Olimme hotellissa kaksi päivää, jolloin ravintola ei edes ollut auki - miksi antaa ko. tiketit, kun ei niitä edes voinut hyödyntää. Typerä moka tämän tason hotellilta.
Kun kirjauduimme ulos, vastaanotossa ollut naishenkilö ei edes kysynyt viihdyimmekö tms.
En koe, että saimme rahoillemme vastinetta ja harmittelinkin, että vaihdoimme hotellista Puerto Banuksessa (3 aiempaa yötä) tähän hotelliin.

Ein wunderschönes Hotel, das ein traumhaftes Frühstück bietet. Jedes Detail ist hier nicht nur wunderschön präsentiert, sondern auch liebevoll gestaltet. Das fängt bei den einzelnen Räumen an und hört bei dem Frühstück nicht auf. Dazu kommt das Personal, das fröhlich und super hilfsbereit und nett ist.
Da gibt es nichts zu erwähnen

Almost at the top of the Old Town of Marbella, in a pretty little square called Santo Cristo, is the lovely La Fonda. It's the sympathetic conversion of a pair of heritage buildings, one of which was a 16th century church - the transformed cloister is the first thing you see as you enter. It's only been open since April last year and, in that time, has successfully built that critical element of hospitality, a great team. From Sanaz and her front desk crew, to the delightful bar and kitchen staff, to the efficient and willing housekeeping, everyone is welcoming, friendly and keen to make your stay a success in every way. Example - our stay covered my birthday. When we arrived at breakfast, we could hear a lot of urgent beating coming from the kitchen. Shortly after, a freshly confected small cake appeared at the breakfast table; while later in the day, we found a bottle of Cava on ice in our room.
Rooms, though not large, are well thought out and equipped: our bed was soporifically comfortable and fresh milk is available on request for tea and coffee. We were visiting in January but still admired the rooftop terrace, where there is a bar in warmer weather, as also in the ground floor courtyard. The in-house restaurant, Jane, was on annual leave - judging by the breakfast and lunchtime dishes, it would be well worth trying. But finding good places to eat is hardly a challenge here - the 2* Michelin Skina is 3 minutes' walk away and there is a wealth of other charmers.
We managed, but a couple of drawers for folded clothes would have been useful. And this is not a criticism but, due to its history, the hotel floor levels change everywhere - I can't see it working for wheelchairs.

The staff were brilliant, breakfast great. Beautifully restored hotel in a great location.
The bedroom was small. Lacked sufficient space for us to unpack cases. Literally nowhere to hang 5 long dresses, no drawers either. It wsnt relaxing having everything out on show.
8.0
The hotel is in a beautifully restored building. The public areas (especially the courtyard) and the bedroom are really well appointed. Housekeeping was also of a high standard. The reception/concierge staff were extremely helpful (thanks Manuel).
Although the staff at breakfast were also welcoming, the service was a little disorganised (e.g. used plates and cutlery not cleared from the table).

Magnifique et récent Hôtel situé dans une des plus belles rues du quartier historique de Marbella. Le personnel est chaleureux et efficace, particulièrement notre Hôtesse Cristina qui par sa gentillesse et ses délicates attentions a su rendre notre séjour inoubliable. Le restaurant JANE est fabuleux. Cet hôtel mérite amplement son label Relais & Châteaux ainsi que ses 5 étoiles. Je ne peux vraiment que conseiller cet hôtel.
Nous serions bien resté plus longtemps

The staff so kind and attentive, making you really feel welcomed. The wonderful decor, the beautiful mix of ancient and modern, the interior, the situation being in the center of the hotel.
Really all very beautiful and making you want to return.
I missed drawers in the room. And although we absolutely loved having our room facing the buzzly street of Marbella centre, we found the room a bit too small, especially between door, bathroom and area of coffee machine.

Beautiful hotel. It’s only 2 months since opening so everything is brand new. Luxury finish with the nicest bedding, towels, robes etc lovely touch to have a Dyson hairdryer. Staff are so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious and cocktails very good.
The staff are so polite and friendly but because of how new the hotel is it felt as though there were no tried and tested processes. On our first day at breakfast we assumed it was just continental (which was delicious) on day two were asked if we wanted eggs/omelette etc which we weren’t offered on day 1. Rooms could’ve been improved with more mirrors/full length mirror.

Great location, new hotel. Tasty breakfast. Welcome drink, little chocolates every evening in the room, room cleaning was great. I would recommend this hotel, a little gem. Spacious bathroom, shower was amazing.
Visited the Jane restaurant. The service was great, staff very helpful. The food was ok but was expecting way more. The dinner in general was 6/10.
Our room was on the 3rd floor, the view was not that great, we saw the walls of other buildings and the restaurant’s glass roof but in the evening it was very quiet and we were able to get some quality sleep.
