Hotel Arcos de Montemar

badly in need of an upgade,wall tiles in bathroom were cracked & rooms quite shabby.Towels were changed each day though, and although we were only bed & breakfast, that meal left a lot to be desired.

A low price hotel, but to suggest it is three stars is ridiculous. Two stars would be flattering. Selling it as a three star raises the guests expections and makes them feel very dissatisfied. On the plus side the front of house staff at reception were helpful and polite. Also the hotel has a garden and small pool, which are pleasant. The balcony was also pleasant, and the lift was roomy and worked well.Our return trip to Malaga airport was booked by reception at a fixed price of 18 euros. Which was fair.

The buffet breakfast was a joke, with little to choose from. At least one guest brought in their own butter supply, as the hotel only had margarine. Twice, out of the six mornings we stayed, bread had to be sent out for. Someone even brought their own bread to toast. As for the bedroom, the carpet was filthy, and the bed sheets too small for the bed which had a plastic incontinence sheet over the mattress, insulting and irritating. The tv only had Spanish channels. In the bathroom there were bugs crawling on the floor, and the shower only had two temperatures - scalding and cold, and there was no way of mixing the two.

Closneess to railway and to the beach,

Bed poor. Bathroom had mildew. Carpet sticky and very, very, old.
