This hotel is gem. Full of character and characters! We found Hotel Artola by mistake and then fell in love with it. The location is ideal, bus stops outside to Fuengerola and Marbella, beach 5 mins walk and local bars and restaurants approx. 10 mins. Our special thanks to Vic and Lyn for guiding to us to this hotel. Throughout... More

beautiful hotel that is in need of some TLC however found staff to be friendly and ideal location for us close to the beach and only 15 minutes away from either fuengirola or marbella . Local beach, bars very convenient and for a short romantic getaway found this to be perfect for the price we paid . Like i said... More

Oh dear! What can I say? We hoped this would be as their website purports, a quiet, little grand boutique hotel. It was dreadful. Do not believe the favourable reports on here as they have permanent English residents who I suspect are writing the good reports. The hotel is nothing like any of the good reports. The concierge could hardly... More

Although there are signs that the harsh economic times have had an effect, our stay at the hotel was comfortable and relaxed. Our room was lovely (107) with an outlook over the hotel gardens and pool. It was plenty large enough, with a sizeable bathroom and good shower/bath. I have to compliment the room cleaning. It was done daily effectively... More

This hotel is a very nice Andalucian style hote, it is based very near the beach, couple of meters walk, it is also based in a residential and quite area versus trafic in Marbella town itself, it also gets quite near the very good restaurants and near the bus stop where you can get bus 220 to Marbella old town...

I suspect that in its day this was a fine hotel but its best days are behind it. It is on the major highway but noise was not a problem. It is in a strip mall next to a residential area but a short walk to the beach, with a perfectly good restaurant on the beach. There is also a... More

This is an old style hotel . The staff was not the most helpful, but I think they speak less English than in the bigger hotels. The hotel is located right on the main coast road and rooms on that side will be noisy. It can be difficult to find when travelling towards Marbella. There is plenty of free parking... More

Negatives. The floor in our bedroom hadn't been cleaned or even swept. The tiles were stained and worn. Later in the evening we asked the hotel receptionist if he would call us a taxi, he grunted at us and wrote down the number of a taxi saying there was no point in calling as it was busy but we could...
