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.

We were a bit dubious about staying at The Al Faro. Staff were lovey, happy and so helpful. The property is not 5 star and there were some elements pf ware and age. But we loved it! Everything was so close by. Restaurants and Bars and the Old Town is just 2 roads away. The pool area was quiet and the seating area outside suited us. No fighting for being served. Receptionist was 24hrs.. The kitchenette was small but having a fridge was what we needed most. Hairdryer, Iron and small ironing board. We did hear some strange noises one night, not sure if it was the lift or the pipes. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

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
