Guest reviews
Exceptional
Liked: The apartment was small but functional, the bed very comfortable, the sofabed a little less so. The real gem here are the commonal areas: the lounge room - where a good buffet breakfast is also served - has got a pool, foosball table, kids games etc; and the rooftop terrace overlooking la Serrania de Ronda has a lovely pool, deckchairs and parasols. The kids and us had a lovely time. And the staff was very friendly and helpful!
Disliked: We did not realise that the reception would be shut when we arrived (21h30 ca) so we self-checked in, which was easy to do but we would have loved to be able to ask someone about garage access/breakfast/late check-out. As said though, this was probably a lack of time investment on our side to understand/ask about what we needed.
I would never do it again
Liked: Free parking in front of the building, good appliances and toiletries. You have to do everything by car or you'll walk quite a bit to get to the important areas of the city.
Disliked: My experience was neutral, but almost bad, for two reasons: Point 1 - The process to receive the keys is extremely slow! It's like a slow hotel check-in. You have to scan all the passports, enter all the data for all the guests, on a bad touchscreen and scanner... It took a long time, of course it annoyed me. If you are arriving late or going during the winter, be prepared for this. It took me about 5 to 7 minutes to register all the guests and access the building. Point 2 - This is a property that makes the "mistake" (in quotes because I don't know if they do it on purpose) of having two types of floor plans, without making this absolutely clear to those who book. In the search results, you will see photos that clearly give you the impression of booking a property with a partitioned floor plan, with a bedroom, open-concept living room, and private bathroom. In the description, they list "Apartment with Terrace" and "Apartment with Mountain View." If you look at the tags you'll see "Private Bathroom" in both floor plan models. Upon arrival, you might have the unpleasant experience of being placed in a unit where everyone sleeps in the same room, without any separating walls or doors, and without direct sunlight inside the apartment. It's like a bunker... a window facing the hallway with no sun and a skylight in the ceiling. also without direct sunlight. If you plan to bring your mother-in-law or children, you risk spending your entire stay sharing the same space with them all the time. Forget about sex, farts, couple alignments, drying clothes, or the balcony (as they suggest in the tags). I suggested to the manager that they do something about it, and they replied that they won't. So stay alert guests! I'm leaving my account here so that another potential guest, with the same expectations as mine, doesn't feel the same way I did.
great stay!
Liked: The apartment is in a great location for exploring the region. It was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. Free parking is available right next to the building, which was very convenient. Communication with the property was excellent, and the staff were very responsive and helpful. The rooftop area with a swimming pool, terrace, and sun loungers was a great bonus. Everything was clean and well maintained, but I have two small suggestions that might help improve the experience for future guests. First, the pool rules were provided, but they did not mention pool floats. I think their use should be prohibited, as the pool is quite small and they take up a lot of space. I also noticed that some of the knives seem to be shedding small pieces from the blades, possibly because they are being washed in the dishwasher. I do not think this is the property’s fault, but perhaps a note asking guests to wash the knives by hand could help prevent this. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Everything was great, and we really enjoyed our time here.
Won’t go back
Liked: The pool area is a good addition.
Disliked: We have stayed at martalia apartahoteles for 3 nights while we have been travelling around Spain. When we arrived (3 adults) we were given an inside room, this is a room without a balcony or any natural light on the inside of the hotel. It has two windows which look on to the hallway/corridor which is used by other residents so the windows are closed shut all the time. I immediately asked reception if we could move rooms due to not having a balcony to dry washing, no natural light or any chairs to sit on. I was told none were available. The receptionist did get me a large airer to dry clothes within the apartment not ideal as you have a washing machine but find it hard to dry afterwards. The apartment was so small that the airer was a fire hazard near the entry door! The bathroom is nice and large however there is no extractor so all the steam goes in to the apartment. The shower head is low so you have to hold it to take a shower. The pull out bed was in the kitchen area. There was no room to cook anything and no table or chairs to sit at. The hotel wasn’t cheap to stay at. You have to pay for your own toilet roll once the initial two rolls have run out and you have to pay for maid service/change of towels if required. There is a vending machine in reception which isn’t replenished, this would be beneficial if u needed water etc as there isn’t a shop or bakery within walking distance nearby. Apparently you can’t eat or drink in the pool area (never heard of this before what about dehydration) but everyone did especially children! The pool area needs cleaning. It is a nice large area with chairs and sun loungers. The main staircases need cleaning as they are dirty and there are black hairs floating around all the time. Limited Parking is free outside the hotel or you can pay to park underground! The hotel is on the outskirts of Ronda, it is approx a 2 mile walk each way. Bus’s don’t appear consistent and taxi’s are like gold dust.
