BLUESEA Costa Serena

The single room allocated to me had no natural light in it. The bed was basic with a double pillow which I had to fold over to get comfortable. The safe did not seem to work. Disappointing after a long journey. This hotel has seen better days. This is a shame as it is in a nice residential area next to Los Alamos station. This makes it very convenient for the airport and transit to Malaga city where I joined my coach to Granada.OK if al you want is a bed for the night

The location of the hotel is really good, it’s a five minute easy walk to and from the Los Alamos train station which comes direct from the airport and goes to Malaga etc. No need for taxis etc, use the train for everything. The hotel staff didn’t seem friendly at all, the housekeeping staff were smiley and upbeat but everyone else didn’t smile, say hello or anything, I found it really strange. There’s 2 lifts which are great, the pool and outdoor area looks lovely and there’s a little play area for young children, it also looks lovely. The food wasn’t great for us, we are a bit fussy but it was worse than we thought it would be. Breakfast is lovely, so many options but nothing is hot or near to hot, so don’t expect piping hot food, it’ll be warm at best. We were half board so had dinner too, there aren’t loads of options and there’s no children's section either like most hotels. A lot of the time we ordered from Glovo and got food delivered to the hotel. The room is dated and basic but was fine, you get hand soap, shower gel and shampoo sachets and the housekeeping clean if you want it cleaning and provide fresh towels. The evening we arrived I found the bathroom had apparently been cleaned but it was dirty with hairs over the toilet seat and all in the bath. I had to clean it myself before we used anything. I didn’t find the beds too uncomfortable considering lots say how awful they are. The noise from the train, planes, thin walls is a lot, it does disrupt.

Very nice hotel with comfortable, well equipped rooms where actually everything works, from the lights and hot water to TV and heating, which was a relief for me after 2 weeks round trip through Morocco where these things are rare. The buffet food is lovely and half-board or all-inclusive options are very well priced, so make sure you add one of those to your room booking. However, note that alcoholic beverages and snacks between meals are not or may not be included. Parking is free and safe along the street leading to the hotel, and the animation program is plentiful and sounds like fun. One can certainly stay there for a week and not get bored. Highly recommended!

All spanish tourist as you would expect. I was the only British in the Hotel. The Buffet evening meal was good with a decent choice. Breakfast was also very good. My only complaint was the bar closed at 11pm prompt.

Overall, you get what you pay for. The room I had had no window. The staff were polite and the location is great to get the main Malaga.

Bed was really comfortable, but room was dated, and no window- it suited me. Noise insulation was not the best.

Basic and adequate for a one night stay. Very reasonable price for half board. Very comfortable bed. Nice staff. Food ok. Nice swimming pool and outdoor seating area. Easy access to los alamos train station

Most of the staff especially the blonde woman on reception and the older guy on reception and the man on the bar need more training in hospitality. I work as management for an ihg hotel and your staff were quite rude and looked like they weren’t interested in helping me out when I needed anything. Also the bath was so small I didn’t even know they made them that small. I’m retuning on the 22nd January and hope these things are improved

Overall the hotel itsekf was worth the money you paid. We went knowing it wasnt going to be 5 star. The main issues we had was that the beds themselves were very uncomfortable - almost concrete like and there was only 1 pillow in the room pp. Our verandah was bellow everyone elses balvony so wold make up with our towels and chairs covered in cigarette ash. Dinner was basic and repetitive and was pretty unorganised, despite paying for dinner you get no free drinking options such as water, so you had to pay for a large bottle even if you onky wanted a small.glass of water with your meal. The hotel is far out from the major town of torremolinos and the city of malaga and you have to get a train to either - with the train station being a 3 minute walk. The most uncomfortable thing was that the neighbouring rooms toilet window opened up onyo our private verandah meaning we could see directly into their toilet/shower and if hey so wished they could enter our verandah/room via the toilet window. It was awkward when we were on the balcony chilling and they were in the toilet because we cold see them. All in all, the hotel is what you get for the money. The price was very cheap and the hotel was OK. If i was looking for somewhere to go for a few days while in torremolinos id probably return to this hotel.
