  : Location once we by were there but very difficult to find by taxi Staff in hotel kindly took our suitcase to the apartment. It was rather dark, poor lighting. No outside space
  : There was only a thin sheet on the bed or a horrible huge grubby duvet in the cupboard No tea towel supplied. Should be instructions for the aircon/heating as we were very cold the first two nights Taxi had a problem finding the hotel to pick up the keys. Very difficult. Very good value if you didn't mind the basic facilites.

  : Nice old style building with perfected decorations. Large apartment in the center of the city., It is a pity that we had only two days left in Estepona, I can imagine stay there through the summer.
  : Hard parking around and kitchen could contain more utensils.

  : Perfect location for accessing the old town with lots of restaurants & bars, aswell as the beach and marina. Lovely old building with lots of character.
  : Furniture was very dated and was a bit shabby. The shower head was broken so it was replaced but couldn't be attached to the fitting on the wall so it was only useable as a hand held shower which wasn't ideal!

Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Almost nothing
  : The aircon did not work for the entire stay, on the day we were leaving we were still waiting for the engineer to arrive.One solution was to give us the room next door, but only for 2 nights as a family had booked it for a week, they never showed up so on the 3rd day the painters arrived and spent a few days re-decorating it, but that aside the aircon in that room did not work either, and the fusebox for both rooms was not in our room, I know this as they gave us the key for next door, and when I told them about this they refused to believe me. But the painters turned off all the fuses in the room, which got rid of the fault light on our controller.We had a total of 6 visits for the in-house maintenance guys, one no English at all, one a little. But the oft promised engineer never turned up, despite assurances he would appear on the Sat, Sun and the Wed which is a festival day in Estepona, go San Isidro.On day 3 they gave us a portable unit which worked fine apart from you needed to keep the bedroom exterior patio doors open to vent the thing, very useful for the mosquitoes which came in and bit my wife and me, she being much juicer than me suffered more.When I collected the keys from reception not a single bit of information was passed on to us about the apartment by the lady who checked us in, having stayed in the Hotel Pilar, who own the apartments, a number of times in the past, last stay in Mar 24, had to change rooms due to foul drain smells in bathroom.The wi-fi had no code in the rooms, some one had peeled it off and it was never replaced, similar story for the smoke alarm, small freezer unit in fridge frozen solid, extractor fan did not work nor under the counter lights.However the shower was great.I took pictures of everything that did not work and also to show how neat my wife is by leaving the place spotless, we carried our rubbish out every day to find a refuse bin to dispose of it, needless to say the hotel gave us no info about rubbish.

  : The location was brilliant and staying in a historical building was very special. We felt very safe and secure in this building, a very quiet area but so central. Excellent.
  : Scalding hot water was very dangerous. Hair dryer hose was not attached to the box and there should have been a hairdryer in the apartment. The kitchen sink plug could not be removed unless you used a knife.

  : Very central in old part of town just as we hoped. Restaurants, beach and shops only a few steps away. Beautiful entrance and nicely laid out accommodation
  : Not as much in kitchen as weve been used to in other apartments but so many reasonably priced tapas, cafes and restaurants close by that it wasnt a big deal

  : Great location decent enough facilities
  : The housekeeping was not good - we had to ask for clean towels on the 4th day and we felt they were rather begrudging about giving them to us. There should have been clean linens every other day or at the very least every 3 days which wouldnt have been great! Also there were no tea towels sponge or dish soap provided. We had to borrow from friends.
