Alanda Marbella Hotel

Nice and friendly staff

The hotel has been renovated and with new owners. This is a 0 alcohol hotel. It serves 00% beer. It's clean and have nice grounds, lots of parking and a number of services. Rooms are large clean. It's reasonable costs and minutes from the beach, across the road is Nubu bar and all the fendi caprerani restaurants. 10 minutes to Puerto Banus. My experience was good with the customer services, though I have read the other views. Overall I have a good experience. Regards Shafiq Malik

It’s the best in Marbella, and the best in the world, in terms of quality, location and extra ordinary services. Mr.Khaldon did a great a Job. I have been here for many times, great atmosphere, the spa looks soo elegant, and nice people there.

A beautiful hotel in a good location with excellent service from its staff. We visited for a weekend break in September 2024. The hotel is located on Marbella’s Golden Mile with high-end restaurants, like Nobu, within very easy walking distance. The beach, with a choice of beach clubs, is also close by. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens with plenty of space. The swimming pool is big and beautiful, with plenty of sunbeds and a nice little snack bar – this hotel is a wellness hotel and therefore does not serve any alcohol. We weren’t aware of this before our trip but we enjoyed the non-alcoholic alternatives on offer. At exactly 7 o'clock in the evening, the moment the pool closed, a small flock of seagulls descends into the pool to play, flutter their wings and generally gather around. This was very interesting to watch, especially with the precision of their timing! The buffet breakfast is extensive with abundant choice, including eggs cooked to your choice by the egg chef while you wait. Our room was spacious and beautiful with a balcony overlooking the Golden Mile and a large bathroom. It was super-clean and everything in it felt new. We would love to visit the Alanda Marbella Hotel again in the future.

Plus points: Room large, shower huge although water temperature varied greatly, 2 sinks, quiet location (we were in the back section). Staff are lovely and helpful and have a great command of English and various other languages. Pool big and very quiet in April! There were people swimming in it but I didn’t try it. Close proximity to beach (if you are on holiday) it’s a short walk across the road and through the very expensive Porto Romano resort. Negative points: No alcohol served anywhere in the hotel. Hotel is Halal friendly but doesn’t offer alternatives, not a huge issue as I eat it but my partner wanted pork sausages and bacon and it isn’t offered. Breakfast does offer a good variety of choices though so no one went hungry! Huge negative is the proximity to the local Mosque in terms of the chanting several times a day for long periods, probably should be mentioned on the website - along with the no alcohol - so guests can make an informed decision. The hotel is very minimalistic and I wouldn’t say it is 5 star but in line with other southern European countries the stars are often exaggerated. I think 4 star is a more suitable rating. It does have a gym but it’s a very basic gym. Also has a spa open from 10-6 but I didn’t visit this. The biggest problem for me was the poor WiFi. They offer two types WIFI_Alanda and ALAND_PRO and both were absolutely dire. I ended up streaming off my mobile device. I tried it in several locations and eventually popped across the road to the Porto Romano resort as their WiFi is amazing. This is probably the main reason for the 3 star review as it cannot be a business hotel if it doesn’t have the services to support it. Lovely stay but the stress of not being able to connect to WiFi that could support a teams call was really negative.

Good things: Cleaning staff! V friendly despite the language barriers Staff in general is nice The breakfast is amazing! It is halal and the selections alone are worth staying here. I also love the fact that I don’t have to check if anything has gelatin or is pork derived or not cross contaminated with pork or other non-halal items before consuming it at their restaurants. The rooms is nice with all things u need to make ur stay a good one The hotel is next to the mosque and is walking distance from the beach, which would be great during summertime The bad: The outdoor pool is closed due to winter which is understandable, but this is not listed anywhere on their website I was like OK, at least I’ll have the indoor pool and hot tub because right now the beach is way too cold to go into. Nope, the indoor pool is also closed due to some temperature control issues I literally came all the way from United States, spent a lot of money on my ticket and on my elongated stay here, just to experience indoor pool in an environment where people are not drunk. V v disappointed. The other bad is that the hotel is located a bit far away from the old town area. That means that if you want to catch any buses or trains to Grenada or Seville, you first have to figure out the internal bus system, or take an expensive cab to a station with less connections or rent ur own car. (Even though I’m here for a full week, all the tours were booked out, leaving from the hotel).

I had two rooms booked, and the hotel made a downgrade for one of my rooms as they gave me a smaller room than the one I booked (35 sqm). In addition, the other room which was good in size as per booking had an issue as it was not overlooking the pool. It was below the swimming pool level. Terrible behavior, and it is a rib-off. The value for money for what I paid was not honored. I spoke to the front desk managers , yet, they were helpless.

Excellent value for money and well positioned and managed.Great parking in a city where parking is an issue. Rooms are good and spotless…secure garage and good breakfast.The rate charged for bed and breakfast is one if the best values in Marbella. Very good good gym
