At first we were overwhelmed by the amount of people and the traffic. Once we were directed to the parking location we felt better. Not impressed with the pool or the breakfast. We made the best of Marbella but not our favorite. We did find 2 good restaurants nearby and some shops to buy clothes and gifts. We took the ferry to Puerto Banus. That was fun but again overwhelmed with the amount of people!

Great location!
Just checked out of the Obal where we stayed for 3 nights. The hotel is clean and modern and the aircon is incredible. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and spacious but the balcony is pointless as the view is of a neighbouring building. The hotel breakfast is fresh and plenty of variety. The hotel location is amazing; so close to the beach and right in the middle of old town. The only downside to the hotel is the pool area. There are very few sun loungers and the pool is very small. We only managed to get a lounger on one of our days and our hope of relaxing and sunbathing was disturbed by children jumping in and out of the pool. Due to how small the pool area is, every jump resulted in us getting splashed. lol.
Overall a lovely stay in a perfectly located hotel.

Good
Rooms are pretty and modern, however they fill the fridge and there’s no space to put your own stuff in.
Location is good, right by the old town, but at night it can be very loud when trying to sleep. One night there was work being done and it was hard to sleep due to this.
The staff at the reception are amazing. however the ones by the pool are not so polite.
You get charged a €100 euro deposit too which we were not informed about before arrival.
The hotel also smells of horrible sewage drains and is masked over by a strong air freshener but I can’t help but smell the foul smell all over the hotel even by the pool.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your stay.
We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our modern rooms, our central location next to Marbella’s Old Town, and especially the service provided by our reception team. Your kind words will certainly be shared with them.
At the same time, we’re sorry to learn that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We regret that you experienced noise during the night due to external works, as well as that the service at the rooftop pool did not reflect the high standards of hospitality we strive to provide. Your comments have been shared with the relevant department so we can continue improving.
Regarding the minibar, we appreciate your suggestion. While our rooms are equipped with a stocked minibar for guests' convenience, we understand that some guests would prefer additional space for their own items and will take your feedback into consideration.
