Guest Reviews

• fariba (4/5): - Es war eine sehr überfüllte und unsichere Umgebung. Nachts, wenn es keinen Sicherheitsdienst gab, trieben sich Betrunkene und unpassende Familien in der Hotellobby herum und es war so laut, dass man nicht schlafen konnte.
• john (6/5): - A long was up hill from Torremolinos Town shops, bars. and the beach. No Air Con just a single ceiling fan. A fridge but no Kettle to make a hot drink. A maid came in once in seven days to change the towels. No cleaners came in at all. It is only staffed from 10AM till 8PM
• Kathryn (10/5): - Great base for our trip. Staff very helpful & great couple of local cafes and bars close to the hotel.
• JEAN-MARC (10/5): - hôtel central, centre-ville de Torremolinos juste à côté avec ses magasins, bazars (chinois notamment), restaurants espagnols et chinois, la gare est à proximité (pour aller à Malaga et l'aéroport)...pas de climatisation dans ma chambre, juste un ventilateur au plafond, chambre et salle de bain très propres, ménage tous les 2 jours (m'a-t-on dit à la réception...vue sur la ville sympa (j'étais au 6e )0bref, séjour très sympa pour moi au Carlos I !!👍plage un peu plus bas en partant du centre-ville de Torremolinos et ses ruelles touristiques...
• Verified traveler (6/5): Carísimo para lo desmejorado que es - El hotel necesita una remodelación de habitaciones e instalaciones urgente. Carísimo para lo antiguo que es.
• Dean (10/5): - It was i nice place with a balcony sun beating down on it fridge is handy for cold drinks to have shops all near by hotel is clean and safe will be staying again soon
• Verified traveler (8/5): Ok for the price - Located conveniently to the main tourist street of Sam Miguel. Beach further at least 20 mins. The rooms are huge with balcony but looking straight into old buildings and disused old swimming pool. Walls paper thin...can hear everything.
• Veronica (8/5): - Camera pulita. Molto vicina al centro. Avere la colazione sarebbe stato il top, ma a poco metri c'è un bar dove si può fare un'ottima colazione locale.
• Ahmed (8/5): - Todo perfecto.
• Frederic (10/5): Parfait comme toujours - Très bon rapport qualité prix. Le staff est très agréable
• Jamal Eddine Mohammed (2/5): - Bad experience in a very bad place
• Kevin (10/5): - Awesome stay again Spotless room helpful staff
• Nigel (8/5): Comfortable hotel - Pretty good hotel, just off the centre of Torremolinos, easy walk to the shops, restaurants and the beach.
• Sonny (10/5): - Great convenience and central
• Manuel (10/5): - Atención muy buena tanto por la chica y por el chico de Recepción. Hab muy limpia y la ducha iba genial. No tiene A/C pero está muy bien ventilado. Si tuviese que poner alguna pega, diría que el váter no paraba de echar agua. Pero vamos, lo arreglamos sobre la marcha nosotros mismos. Hemos estado muy agusto.
• Martine (8/5): - Satisfaisant pour une nuit . L établissement est proche de l aéroport de Malaga. Par contre la réceptionniste était très agréable et nous a bien conseillé.
• Ragnar (8/5): Fint opphold i Torremolinos - Er godt fornøyd. Helt greie rom med veranda. Stille del av Toremolinos. Ingen frokost. Sov godt i god seng. Fornøyd. Hyggelig betjening. Kort veg til tog og buss. Jeg kommer tilbake.
• peter (10/5): - Helpful and nice staff, clean room, comfortable bed. And a reasonable price.
• Per Einar (6/5): - THE HOTEL DID NOT HAVE HEATING SO IT WAS FREEZING COLD FOR A WEEK
• Angelique (6/5): - Basic hotel, close to all amenities
• Majid (10/5): Clean place - Clean and nice place
• Sonny (10/5): - Nice place just on the fridge of Torremolinos centre
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Baño anticuado. Hormigas por toda la habitación
• Rebeca (6/5): - Buena
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Its expensive and its very dated, requires a significant renovation. Its also not that central to anywhere.
• Kevin (10/5): - Great location, lovely roomz easy checkin, very friendly man greeted me without any problems on reception, got my room at the time agreed was a really nice hotel and am going to recommend and use this again soon
• Sondre (4/5): Billig av ein grunn. - Tynne vegger så man hørte absolutt alt som vart sakt i nabo rommet. MYE insekter inne på hotell rommet som kom krypende ut av veggen og opp i sengen. FYI ingen AC.
• Zarko (8/5): - Parking is very difficult in that residential area. Parking garage is available about 5 minutes walk from the hotel downhill. You can get some cheaper price if you bring the hotel's stamp. It's about 30 minutes drive from Granada's downtown. Balconies are beautiful for morning/evening coffee/tea. I don't know about beaches, but I think there is about 30 minutes walk at least, judging by distance to sea from our balcony.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Personnel très agréable, chambre propre et confortable. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de petit déjeuner
• Clinton (2/5): Dirty hotel. - The room was covered in live ants.
• Ricardo (10/5): Spanish friendliness mixed with Dutch efficiency - Excellent hotel. I am about the price and that it only has two stars. It felt like a 3 star hotel. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Excellent location with authentic cheap churros breakfast bar.
• Hallgeir (10/5): God service og fine ro, - Sentralt beliggende, fint rom og veldig hjelpsom og serviceorientert ansatt i resepsjonen. Kommer igjen!
• Alejandro (8/5): Estancia cómoda - La estancia ha sido cómoda, la habitación es grande, el colchón es cómodo y estaba todo muy limpio, así que muy contento. Pondría alguna que otra cosa a mejorar: no funcionaba la luz en el pasillo de mi planta, no se veían la mayoría de los canales de TV y se escucha a veces a las personas de otras habitaciones desde la terraza. Pero, lo dicho, muy contento y muy satisfecho en general.
• Ron (6/5): - Didnt realize no AC during horrid heat wave. Weird that they supply mop & bucket because shower floods bathroom.
• David Maes (8/5): - Godt til prisen
• Mette (8/5): - Dejligt sted, værelset var pænt og rent, man kunne godt have brugt et mini køkken. Men der var et køleskab med god plads. Supermarked rundt om hjørnet. Ligger højt oppe i byen det tog 20-25 min til til stranden, og 6-10€ i taxa, an på tidspunktet.
• Guzmán (8/5): - La habitación no tenia aire acondicionado,pero con un ventilador de lámpara no se estaba mal. Sencillo pero a la par cómodo. Y el personal muy amable.
• L (4/5): Avoid unless on a budget! - The rooms we were given had no air con only fans and the temperature was around 40 degrees. We also found ants in the toilet and the walls were so thin you could hear a person sneeze on the other side.
• Ricardo (2/5): - Instalaciones antiguas,piscina vacía, alrededores horribles y nada cuidados, habitación horrible,antigua y lo más de lo más sin aire acondicionado...
• Ricardo Danilo (10/5): - En meget fint lille hotel. Prise vs kvalitet . Meget svært at for parkering
• María (8/5): - Ha estado bien
• Christopher (8/5): - It was just a business /leisure trip for me . Hotel well priced and quite central, no breakfast , about 10 mins from the metro up a steep hill. Good shop and hospital nearby.
• Jose Manuel (8/5): Algo pasado de precio para la calidad - A favor el balcón en las habitaciones. La presión de la ducha estupenda y el colchón muy muy cómodo. Pequeña nevera en la habitación. Mejorable, la antigüedad de la habitación
• Warren (6/5): - You can hear EVERYTHING easily from neighbouring rooms. Rooms need better sounds insulation.
• Kevin (10/5): Great value for money - Very good value for money & good location. Simple but comfortable & clean.
• Jan (8/5): - Schlechtes WIFI auf meinen Zimmer in der 7. Etage
• Isabel (10/5): - Ok
• Sean (4/5): - Very outdated, bed very uncomfortable, bedding two sheets and an old smelly blanket that obviously doesn’t get changed over , the towels smelled like dirty laundry an no lighting at the end of corridor where my room was , the railing on the balcony loose and bare wires sticking through the wall , very disappointing
• RAFAEL (8/5): - Very quiet and accessible place. The front desk people were helpful and friendly. Plenty of small restaurants in the area. Would go back anytime.
• RAFAEL (8/5): - This place great for people who want to rest. No partying or loud music. Traffic is very light.
• Jose (4/5): Nur ein Stern weil die Bettwäsche wirklich sauber waren - Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit Das Hotel befand sich in einem Zustand der70er Jahre sehr veraltet und einfach .Keine Klimaanlage ,alle Fenster Richtung Süden dadurch war das Zimmer aufgeheizt. Nur ein Tisch Ventilator und der hat die ganze Nacht gebrummt.
• Fay (8/5): Air conditioning - It was a lovely trip and stay but rhe beds are not a double bed tye fridge had a very bad smell in it and there was no air conditioning so cld do with a little update but itherwis it was lovely
• Verified traveler (4/5): HOTEL CARLOS I - poca acqua per i suoi clienti - Per avere una tovaglia in più per il bagno bisogna pure pagare. Distributore di acqua che si può solo bere dal bicchiere, altrimenti se riempi la borraccia (x essere ecologico) ti sgridano. Il secondo giorno ci hanno messo il cartello di non riempire la borraccia, il terzo ci hanno chiuso il distributore con un sacco nero. Poveri noi, nemmeno un pò di acqua per i clienti, questo il servizio offerto.
• Heidi (8/5): Lyhyt kaupunkiloma - Sijainti oli mielestämme kiva, kun oli sivussa turistialueista. Melko syrjäinen ja mäkinen. Meri ei ollut lähellä, mutta emme rantalomaa hakeneetkaan. Huoneessa toimiva jääkaappi onneksi, muuten varustelu todella olematon. Henkilökunta kuitenkin erittäin ystävällinen. Joten hyvin, hyvin vaatimaton majoituspaikka, mutta parin yön majoitukseen ihan kelvollinen.
• Jonathan (2/5): Bienvenido à l'hôtel Carlos 😂 - Hotel que je ne recommande à personne, le personnel est correct mais l'hôtel est vraiment pourri, pas de piscine, du bruit sans cesse, bref heureusement ce n'était que 2 jours...
• Mikkel (8/5): Hotel with all you need - except AC - The hotel is perfect location and got all the amenities you need for a short stay! We loved it - but please remember the hotel do not have any AC but only a table fan. It will get hot!
• Josu (6/5): - El hotel es muy mediocre, lo reserve por error, pero la dirección del hotel y su amable recepcionista me reembolsaron dos noches que no tenían opción del mismo. Pasamos una noche en el hotel y dormimos sin el menor ruido o contratiempo. Totalmente recomendable.
• patrick (8/5): - pas de clim le ventilateur faisait un bruit d enfer pas beaucoup dormi avec la chaleur el la femme de chambre est venus une fois dans la semaine j ai du demander a la reception le changement de serviettes de toilette
• Cándido (10/5): - Clean, quiet and convenient
• patrick (10/5): - tres bon hotel
• patrick (10/5): - bon accueil sympa
• Verified traveler (6/5): Billig overnatning - til prisen er det ok
• Maria del carmen (10/5): - Personal muy amable y todo muy limpio
• Kevin (10/5): - Clean and adequate for a cheap price. Only stayed one night and it served its purpose. However it is extremely basic, no air con and located away from the ‘action’ up a hill from the town centre
• Francisco (4/5): - Demasiado caro para lo obsoleto que es
• Constantin (8/5): - Very clean, but basic.
• Farid (10/5): - Hyggelig , rent og pent.
• Michael (10/5): - Godt centralt sted -
• Taieb (10/5): - Tres tres bien rien a dir
• David (10/5): Amazing service and cleanliness - Amazing hotel for what you pat, nice room very clean and peaceful

• Verified traveler (8/5): - Satisfied. Clean room.
• María Cruz (8/5): - Buena relación calidad precio
• Verified traveler (2/5): - hotel vetuste
• Thierry (2/5): - Rien
• Verified traveler (8/5): All rooms don't have A/C - The 1st, night was uncomfortable, because we had a room with just a fan. After traveling more than 10 hours, the room was to stuffy and hot to sleep.
• Robert Simon (8/5): - La nostra camera era molto spaziosa con una ampia terrazza, fornita di frigorifero e forno a micro onde. Personale accogliente . Reception apre alle ore 10,00 e chiude alle ore 20,00.
• HASSAN (8/5): - thanks
• Samantha (10/5): - 2 står hotel it is what is basic facilities but absolutely spotless and the owner is fantastic. The bedding was so fresh and clean and the mattress was one of the comfiest I've slept in.
• Mark (6/5): Ok hotel. - Hotel was old and dated. Reception and check in was an easy process and friendly. Worst view I’ve ever had in Torremolinos Wifi was not good.
• Alessandro (10/5): Thanks! - Good position clean
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Not even a drinking glass in the room. My room was NOTHING LIKE THE PICS.
• Brian (10/5): Great value for comfy stay - Hotel Carlos is amazing value for money - very friendly staff, fast check in, comfortable / modern lobby - the rooms are large, comfy bed with a balcony. Refurbished bathroom - everything very clean. Relatively quiet and a great location, just a 5 minute walk to the train/centre of town. 2 excellent cafes on the block and a 24H pharmacy and supermarket across the street.
• Andrew (8/5): Good budget accomodation - Cheap overnight stay
• Adrian (8/5): A pleasant stay - Cheap and cheerful. A bit off the beaten track but only five minutes to the centre. Clean with free bathroom articles. We would stay there again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean beds, friendly staff and a great price! If you just want somewhere cheap to stay then this really couldn't be better
• Alfred (10/5): - We stayed 9 nights on the 6-th floor and really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean with fridge and microwave, balcony and offering view over the town and sea. Friendly staff with excellent customer service who sorted out quickly our issue with expedia booking. Highly recommend.
• Anto (8/5): - Was good great location, nice and bright room very well located, close to everything, i will book again def, is not air conditioner, they said for the price, in that case 2,fan should be ok
• Benjamin (8/5): Budget hotel 10 mins from centre - This is a very basic hotel, but good value compared to others in the area. The sheets are only changed every 4 days and towels every 2 days, but the room was clean and the shower fine. There was a fridge, a fan, and a nice balcony to sit on. The concierge is only staffed during the day but they were very friendly. We were lucky as our room looked recently renovated. If you want a budget option not too far from the centre then this will suit you fine.
• Tina (8/5): Comfortable Stay - This is a very basic hotel that doesn’t look like much on the outside. Our room was plain but very clean and comfortable. We had a balcony which we really liked. We enjoyed breakfast out there every morning. Our room was on the first floor so we had air conditioning, I guess the upper floors don’t have any. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was nice because it was an easy walk to restaurants and shops but still quiet and away from the party scene.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Old hotel which has been partly closed and some rooms let out to renters. Quite happy with room as the finish was modern and new. However room was unbearably hot as no air conditioning, it really affected the quality of our holiday having to put up with a hot room. Stayed for 3 nights and although we should have towels changed and room cleaned on day 3 this didn't happen.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location close to center and beach, friendly staff, nice and clean and a bit quieter being off the main strip, lovely balcony
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The view from the terrance was wonderful, we had a room on the 7th floor. Bad was very confortable and room had enough space for 2 people. WI-FI worked only on terrance and one side of the room so that can be improved. Water pressure in the shower was so low so you need to be patient to complete showering. :)))
• Jeffrey (8/5): Good value with good views. - We had a pleasant 7 nights stay here. It wasn't difficult to find the hotel at all given the great location. Check-in process was quick and easy, and the receptionist (Mila) was very helpful, informative, and friendly. The hotel is big with 7 floors, and we were on the topmost floor. However, in the evenings only the ground floor corridor lights were on, in other words, our corridor was really dark. Our room was big, clean, and comfortable with a balcony looking out to the fantastic view of the town and the sea. In the room there was a dresser, mini-fridge, writing desk, a wardrobe, chest of drawers, a couple of chairs, and although it wasn't air conditioned, the table fan worked brilliantly on warm days. The bathroom was clean with shower inside the tub. The sink was a tad wobbly. We were informed that no housekeeping services are provided daily, and throughout our stay our room was cleaned once but we thought that was quite enough. Apart from the occasional cigarette smoke coming in from the balcony door, from other guests smoking in their balconies (which we infomed the receptionist), we really enjoyed our stay and really don't see why we wouldn't come back.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very specious and clean rooms with balcony.Quite location.Friendly staff
• Jalle (10/5): Nice convenient place to stay - Convenient clean nice stay. Very friendly staff
• Yuko (8/5): good place to stay cheap. - Very comfortable, convenience, easy to access . if you don't expect hotel service this is perfect to stay. This isn't hotel fault but some guest drunk guy was so loud in 2am mid night.
• Bryan (10/5): Great gem for a place to crash. - We loved Carlos Rooms, great location, very clean and very frendly service, central location and a great price for staying over after a night out rather than Taxi home.
• Nick (6/5): Basic, private double room for two nights - The Carlos rooms are a good value option for a solo traveller wanting a private double room. The room offers everything you would expect - comfortable double bed, tv, fridge, towels, shampoo and shower gel. It is ideal for a short stay. There are no other facilities, such as bar, restaurant, swimming pool etc in the apartment block. If, like me you are happy to walk, the location is about ten minutes north of the centre of town and a further ten minutes to the beachfront.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Below average stay - Not the greatest accommodation. The place is very run down. You start your stay by using the service elevator that fits 2 people, 3 at best. The rooms have no A/c but a desk fan is supplied. This was very little help even with the balcony door wide open all night. Having to keep the balcony door open all night meant you had to put up with the noise of the night life, which tends to go on to 2 am on average I found. Also a lot of smoke from both neighbours cigarettes would enter my room. The room space was average. There was a bar fridge which was welcomed. The bathroom was old and worn. I had a hot water system in it which contributed to the heat in the room. Not that it was a requirement, but the pool has no water and there was no intention of fixing the pool. The worst for last, there's a ventilation shaft in the bathroom that continually released sceptic odours. So when you had the door closed in the bathroom and then entered, you would almost gag sometimes.
