Noisy. You can hear your neighbours talking. Rooms are not sound proofed. Construction noise above our room during daytime.

Location on beach front next coffee shops, restaurants beach activities and closeness to old town. The staff were helpful and friendly.
I didn't like that the property charged me $3/night for using the safe inside the unit.
Also, if you happen to be driving a car, dropping luggage off at property on such a busy street before knowing where to park can be very challenging.

Just stayed one night as we went to see friends in Marbella, but great service, room was clean and quiet, and the area if vibrant - right on the beach and boardwalk.

Have stayed a few times now and always have an enjoyable stay…already looking forward to next year… the location is great! Staff are super friendly and helpful… rooms are comfortable with everything you need, ideal for a base as never spend much time in the room anyway when on holiday

Although dated the property had excellent location and was clean
Did not like the elevators arrangements had to wait long for one but we managed like others
Breakfast was good and lovely on the 8th floor so was the pool area

Having stayed at Princessa several times a year for the last 15 years it is one of Our favourite hotels despite some idiosyncracies. It remains the only hotel I have stayed in around the world that continues to charge to use the room safe! The location is superb.
The hotel has now changed hands and several big changes are planned which will hopefully enhance the property however I hope that it does not lose its current charm and what it does so well.

Excellent location, ask for a sea view room. Lovely staff and good sized rooms. Everything you need is within easy walking distance, and I'm no youngster.

This property is a great stay if you love to be close to the beach and all the cool restaurants right on the beach for a least a km.You are also close to old Marbella which has cool outdoor restaurants just steps away.These is also a small grocery store right on the same block as the hotel.Make sure for get oceanfront worth the money which is a lot cheaper than hotels nearby.The downside is the parking which is right around the corner after checkin but is 23euros a day.The front desk are hit or miss for English speakers with attitude and advice.Breakfesr is worth the money and is on the top floor with a beautiful view of the ocean which you will definitely love and there is a patio to sit outside and have a coffee and breakfast and the young tall lady that works the breakfast always has a genuine smile,front desk should take note.Good value and location for the price,sorry beds are very hard!

Hey there, Mark! We're so grateful you took the time to share your thoughts with us.We're thrilled to hear you loved the proximity to the beach and the charming restaurants of Marbella's old town, not to mention our convenient location near a grocery store. It's wonderful that our breakfast with the ocean view made such a positive impression on you, and we appreciate your kind words about the service at breakfast. We're sorry to hear you found the beds on the firm side. While we aim to provide comfort for all our guests, mattress preferences can be quite personal. Regarding the parking fee, we understand the cost might be unexpected; however, our location in this bustling area can make parking a premium amenity. We're also looking into your feedback about the front desk as we always strive to offer friendly and helpful service in all languages.It's fantastic that you found our hotel to be of good value and enjoyed your overall stay with us!We hope to welcome you back.All the best,Ona Princesa Playa
