Can't wait to go back
We love this apart-hotel. It's clean, well equipped and the staff are friendly and helpful.
It has a small swimming pool and a terrace area at the back, each room has it's own balcony and they're spacious.

Nice place to stay, friendly staff
Our stay was great, except for the parking. The hotel provides underground parking for very small cars. Very tight.
The parking is the only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars.
Excellent location in a walkable neighborhood close to the beach. Very quiet at night. Coffee and breakfast available every morning in the lobby area.
Property was clean and comfortable. We had such a great trip. Would recommend this hotel.

Rooms look old, needs to be upgraded.Although, staff was very friendly, offer a free drink on arrival, had easy access to all areas. Hourly parking using an app was available right in front of hotel, and close proximity to the beach.

Hotel El Faro is a fantastic place to stay.
We decided to stay at this hotel for locality to the beach and bars in Marbella. This hotel certainly didn't disappoint. We had an amazing time and the staff were fantastic. Even though we were a stag party of 12 men, the staff made us feel welcome and even joined in with some of our fun activities. The hotel has a nice pool area and seating area to relax and was generally quiet which meant we all had an area to relax in during the mornings or day time when we wasn't out and about.
We would all highly recommend this place to anyone wishing to stay in Marbella.

The staff are excellent. The two I interacted with are outstanding hospitality professionals, Pablo the receptionist and the young lady that runs the bar/ pool service would make any hotel proud of the standard guests appreciate. Well done both and I expect many others.

Better options elsewhere
Room was ok but the noise from other rooms was so bad no sleep was achieved.
People coming back at 3 am and partying in their room had me feeling like I was in a box prison in my room. No one stopped them. They must have woken the entire hotel.
Was glad to leave
Far better options around for less money
