We (family of 4, children aged 14 and 11) stayed for 2 nights. We arrived late at night and the drive up to the hotel was certainly an experience, but was definitely worth it when we saw the view in the morning. The setting in the mountains is spectacular, and we loved spending time in and around the pool, taking in the view.
The restaurant is good with a varied menu, although perhaps there could have been a few more options for breakfast.
Expedia allowed us to book a room which was not available, so we did not get the tower room as we had hoped. However the hotel were apologetic and did their best to mitigate this, offering us a second room so that our family of 4 had plenty of space.
We would recommend Hotel Cerro de Hijar for a spectacular location to get away from it all!

We booked a suite with a view but the only view it had was of the car park.changed to smaller room and they charged the same price. The service was poor I think not enough staff for the number of guests. The noise from people drinking outside until 3am kept us awake there seemed to be a party going on .it felt totally unsafe during COVID 19 and I would not recommend

A Mountain hotel
We stayed at this hotel to attend a wedding that was conducted there, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the views were stunning with a commanding view over the entire area.
Our visit was in early February when the temperatures are very low it was between 2 to 5° when we were there.
The hotel sits above the town of Tolox, the road to the hotel is a series of twisty bands climbing 290 m over 3.5 km.
The food at the hotel was of good quality but rather pricey for the portion size, we soon discovered we could eat in Tolox, in the bars and restaurants where the food was equally as good but much cheaper and full of local atmosphere.

I was very disappointed because we booked a room with a double bed and they ony had twin beds when we arrived. They said they could never guarentee a double bed even though hotels.com had booked it. We also had a bad experience eating at their resturant. The service was extremely slow. It took half an hour to get a menu to only find out that they had a poor selection of vegetarian food. It then took nearly an hour to get served. The food tasted very nice but was very expensive. Would not eat there again. Otherwise the location was high up on a mountain side with fantastic views. The gardens were lovely and the swimming pool warm.

Fantastic hotel, away from it all!
This is a fantastic hotel, beyond Tolox up in the mountains and away from it all. The place is very relaxing and well kept and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant is superb with fantastic dinners and buffet breakfasts. Several guests who all lived locally and knew the hotel well asked how we'd come to hear of the place and we agreed that it is a word of mouth secret sort of place. Well worth spending some days here!

Not nice
The road leading to this is narrow and curvy so be prepared. The buffet breakfast we thought was overpriced for what it was; we usually don't have breakfast in hotels for this reason but since this place is far from anywhere else we didn't have much choice. We had dinner which again was overpriced for what it was (the gazpacho was particularly not pleasant), the staff was ok, but not the most friendly. The hotel is quite tired and even though we had the Junior Suite the room was not very nice at all, and the TV (in case you want to watch it) is very small. We would not stay here again and don't recommend it to others.

Peace and quiet
I stayed here for a night recently. The hotel is literally at the top of a mountain, you would want to arrive early in the afternoon to enjoy the drive and views when you arrive. Extremely quiet - if you've had a busy week at work and want to relax, you really couldn't do any better, silence and tranquility. Superb for a romantic getaway, amazing views, near silence throughout the day so perhaps good for writers. Definitely would stay again.
