Álora Castillo Árabe Hotels

"Clean, basic, but adequate for my needs. Fridge was noisy & too big for the room. No kettle in room. Breakfast on request. Nice view of the castle from my balcony. "

"Breakfast was delicious wd didn’t need parking. we travelled by train "

"Positives. The apartment was well equipped (kitchen and bathrooms) and clean. There was parking available right outside and the check in instructions were clear and straightforward. There were ample heating and cooling options. Negatives There was no ability to access the balcony, which was advertised in the pictures and would have been a nice social space as there was no lounge area inside. The pillows were very uncomfortable and hindered a decent night's sleep. The lack of power points near the beds meant the bedside lamps didn't work and also not ideal for charging devices etc. The worst element for us was the building noise next door. While I appreciate this was not the fault of the Hostal, the apartment was uninhabitable from 8.30am for the majority of the day and some advanced notice (clearly the works had been going on a while) would have been appreciated as we could have made other plans."

"Charming location with excellent host."

"Lovely house, amazing outdoor space, fabulous views in a lovely town. Great walking, in a perfect spot to explore Andalucia. Kevin as host was great"

"The swimming pool was amazing. The garden had different areas so good for finding the sun and we loved the bar and barbecue area.There was a big conservatory which allowed our party of 16 (8 adults 8 children) to enjoy a special meal in a spacious area."

"The lovely owners Pepe and Isabel met us at the house, showed us around, and explained how everything worked. The property is beautiful, with a fantastic pool area and gorgeous gardens that are very well maintained, and a lovely farm area with fruit trees. The house was spotlessly clean and everything we needed was provided for (no oven but an outdoor kitchen so we could bbq meat instead). Plenty of options for making a morning coffee or tea, which is always important! Great location for morning runs too - either up to Alora for a hilly run, or over the bridge behind to the villages/along the river for a run on the flat. Local people were all very friendly. Great location - shops and restaurants in Alora were walking distance up the hill, and the village just over the pedestrian bridge behind had small supermarkets. Some good restaurants nearby with lovely food too. Great hosts, stunning property, great location - I highly recommend."

"Fantastic stay. Everything we needed. "

"Very clean very nice property that included everything needed for our trip. We loved the city and had a very peaceful stay. The hosts were so great at communicating and helpful when we asked for anything. The views are also spectacular. We would recommend this stay and would love to come back. "
