Obal Hotel Marbella

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Marbella! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town, with everything within walking distance and taxis easily accessible when needed. The beach was also just across the street, which made the location even better. The hotel itself was very clean and well maintained, and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of options. The gym was small but had everything we needed for a quick workout. The staff were also incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again on our next trip to Marbella!"
