The property location is close to many of the attractions. The property decorative was cool, the decor setting was feel of n the 60s, very imaginery. Cofee & tea is vailable all the time but there was no milk. The breakfast was very simple. You can eat on the balcony looking at a wonderful view but the canteen is some distance away. Room 1 and 2 are interconnected and so you can hear the noise nxt door, Nevertheless a cool place to stay for a couple of nights. Ronda is beautiful for a day out.

This is a most unusual and funky hotel so only go there if you have an imagination! Caesar Greeted us so warmly & immediately called to make reservations for a fabulous Flamenco show. For breakfast, Pablo served us coffee & homemade bread, delicious fresh fruit, ham, cheese, homemade cake etc. One would likely call the hotel ‘shabby’ but the personality of its owners & its location made it a lovely overnight experience in Ronda

Quaint, Quirky and Cool
A lovely little hotel close to the centre of Ronda. The rooms were both old world and quirky. Utterly under used back garden area where you could sit drinking wine for hours looking over the Ronda country side. The breakfast menu seemed restrictive but it was actually lovely. Freshly made bread and gluten free bread for us coeliacs. Pablo who served us was fantastic and gave great advice on things to do. If we go back to Ronda I know where we will stay.

A funky hotel in the new town area of Ronda. The room decor was eclectic including the toilet which had a pull down rope to flush it. The pool was really cold so I didn't stay in it long and there was no one around to staff the bars, so I can't rate that. The breakfast was really good. But what was most disappointing is the poor TV reception and poor wifi. When there's no one around to socilize with in the public areas of the hotel, the lack of wifi and tv reception was glaringly obvious.

Lovey quirky friendly place
We loved this hotel. The staff were incredible - stayed open late to welcome us after a late flight and detoured route, helped us find a parking space and fantastic at breakfast and with our baby. Really quirky touches throughout and lovely relaxed vibe. Only a minute or two’s walk to the old bridge. We’ll be returning!

Unique Hotel
If it’s a different experience you want, this is the hotel for you. It’s hard to describe as it’s so unique. Great gardens. Free bar (self service) and great breakfast. As the hotel is located down a very steep hill, anyone with mobility issues will struggle - we had to use taxis.

Great breakfast and staff
Quirky hotel with interesting decorations. I stayed in Room 2. The room did not look the same from Hotel.com. But I was too tired to ask about it. The room was comfortable. Good heating system, fast hot water for shower. Help yourself service to all kinds of drinks is a very nice gesture. The best thing of this hotel is the service. Hotel staff were always ready to help. Breakfast is The best I ever had in hotels. Pablo the cute chef is a great cook! He can whip up all sorts of dishes even crepes on the go. He makes sure his guests live the restaurant with a belly full! I really enjoy staying here and will highly recommend.

I Want To Return To This Hotel
Hard to drive to down narrow steep streets, but the enjoyment of this small hotel is well worth the effort. Located near the old bridge and above the arabic baths, the hotel is staffed by enthusiastic folks who immediately make you feel welcome. Kitchen staff in the morning will cook you whatever they have at your request. Also have unique items such as salmon tartar with mangoes.....Superb and eclectic, every nook is filled with charming modernist art which is both kitschy and retro.The garden is exactly as shown in photos & much more with stunning overlook. Perfect for relaxing with a beer or wine (both free anytime of day as you serve yourself). Pool is inviting as is sauna. You will not be disappointed. Plenty of parking on the street in front of the hotel. Definitely a hotel to visit again !

Wonderful and quirky
This is probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Not only is Ronda an experience but the hotel is as well. All the staff are incredible and the included breakfast and snacks are delicious as well as not being your standard fare. It was so much fun to wander around the hotel to see all the interesting courtyards, patios and rooms.

Awesome Unique Artsy Funky Hotel
What a great Artsy hotel. I had Room 1 downstairs near the lobby. There are creative artistic touches everywhere in the style of a Bohemian Gaudi. Very nicely done. Open bar with not-so-great wine and untried beer on tap. Free snacks, drinks, and a very good free breakfast. Lots of common area charm including a pool, massage room, sauna, library, wine room, 2 terraces, aviary, fish ponds, and mini bamboo forest. Great location and a kind and helpful staff. Room 1 was slightly small but clean and nice. No refrigerator although 3 fridges in public area. No safe in the room. Interesting toilet. Some street noise and reception/bar area noise in room. Unusable slow internet. A painting fell off the wall at 4:00 AM. I was in bed and nobody was banging on the wall. It just fell and broke. Weird. Maybe ghost hunters might be interested in Room 1. I'd definitely return and would enthusiastically recommend this hotel.

Fabulous experience
The hotel has free wine & beer and a number of locations on the premises to sit & relax. The decor is fun & quirky. The location is walking distance to both bridges. The staff is delightful, but the absolute best thing about the hotel is the amazing breakfast prepared by the chef using fruit & vegetables grown on the owner's farm. Great experience!

Quirky, fun, and welcoming!
My husband, daughter and I loved this place. It is quirky. If you need a marble bathroom drive on by. Our welcome was warm. The hotel provides free drinks, including wine and beer, a delicious free breakfast. There was a gorgeous small patio area where we enjoyed great views overlooking the countryside. The room was not fancy but was very comfortable. We loved the whole vibe of the place, but don't come if you don't have a sense of humor. Would return if ever in the area again. (This was definitely my daughter's #1 stop on our trip).

Simply great
Simply great. Charming decor. Lovely pool and balconies with views of the countryside and town. Short walking distance to all the sights with stunning vistas along the way. Copious made to order breakfast included in the price. Beer on tap and local wine available at all hours. And the whimsical decor with plates and silverware tucked into the trunk of a VW. I took as many photos of the hotel and from the hotel as I took in town. Highly recommended. You can use Ronda as a base as we did and the surrounding Pueblo's blancos.

Great staff and fun, very different hotel.
We stayed 2 nights and spent a lot of time at the hotel enjoying the art and patios. The breakfasts were varied and fun as well. For us, the only drawback was the steep uphill walk into town, being seniors with some mobility limitations. However it was easy to call a cab and once at the top it was flat and compact. The patrons seemed on the younger side compared to us, and enjoyed the pool area and the open bar. There is a small shop nearby for basic staples. We would recommend a stay here to enjoy the view over the hills in the back patio and the interesting art and food.

AWESOME HOTEL! One of most memorable ever!
In my 20 plus years of traveling this is one of the most memorable hotels ever (that is across the North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia). Think of it as a W Hotel on a crazy acid trip....or the community feel of a hostel but with the amenities of a nice hotel. We ended up at the bar chatting with guests until 2:30am. The hotel is really funking (if you have children, this hotel is NOT fo you). Some of the things may be NSW. Hotel had an open self serve bard with beer and wine (included in the price) and a gourment breakfast (included in the price)..it wasn't fine dining but this is not a typical "hotel" buffet breakfast...you can eat all you wan't but the cook doesn't it right there for you (quail eggs and chorizo was amazing). The staff is really helpful and classy. For parking you just have to find a spot in the neighbordhood...it is really not that hard though and we had no trouble over 3 nights. If we are EVER in southern spain again, we must stay there. I would rather do day trips (We actually did one to Gilbralter) than stay in another town.

Funky & Enjoyable
We spent 2 nights in this very unique hotel. Our room was on the top floor with small outdoor terrace overlooking the pool & beautiful countryside beyond. The staff & hotel services are extraordinary. They did our laundry for a small fee, provided free self serve beverages, including beer, wine , juices, soda, milk, coffee & water. The breakfast buffet was exceptional! Would definitely return, especially now that we can find it!!

Different. Love it or hate it hotel
We were met by pleasant very friendly staff, but our room was not ready. There were free drinks all the time. There are lots of steps ( some steep) from one room to another even on the same floor. As an older person I found it difficult to get around this hotel. Carrying breakfast down steps to a table was not easy for me. My room was small and dark and had many pictures and plastic images of the naked female form which I did not appreciate. There was a party at the hotel and we were invited. Free cocktails but noise after midnight as people left kept us awake. The pool is small. The views were amazing. Lots of art all over the place. You either like it or hate it.
