Hotel Monarque Torreblanca i Fuengirola

We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly return. The bedrooms were very comfortable and night entertainment was good ----you cannot expect West End shows. I had read mixed reviews re the food quality and was a little anxious---however we enjoyed the food and always found something that suited us--I wonder what some people expect from a hotel who is catering for such large numbers---if people expect gourmet meals I suggest they go out to 5 star restaurants and pay the price. As somebody who does a lot of homebaking and cooking myself I was very happy. Also a special word of appreciation to Letitia on reception who was so helpful and courteous. I would certainly return to this hotel .It was great to be so near train station for transfers from airport and daily trips.

Clean rooms, friendly helpful staff, 2 pools in spacious gardens so you're not all crammed in, very close to beach, fridges in rooms, lovely housekeeping staff. But.... This is not a 4 star hotel, whilst the rooms were clean, there is a lot of chipped woodwork, wardrobe handles missing, towels raggedy((sometimes with holes). Food good, we didn't go hungry and we weren't ill, but this is catering en masse and so what's offered reflects this. Location ideal for exploring other areas on the costa del sol, would stay again but not if expecting a luxury break.

Basic hotel, prices very reasonable for drinks etc. Very good for transportation to Finguerola or Malaga Airport direct by train. Torreblanca station on doorstep.

I think the hotel was quite okay for the price; sufficiently clean (except for the balcony), quiet and spacious. What I didn't like was the breakfast: there were a lot of alternatives but the quality was not too good (especially the juices and coffee were really bad). Since the price was okay, I would consider staying there again, and having breakfast somewhere else.

Enjoyed my stay here. Large hotel. Many facilities including restaurants and live music bar. About 5 minutes walk to the beach and bars. Friendly receptionist put me on a high floor as i wanted good views. I got a view of the mountains, resort and sea all in one from the 9th floor veranda. Room and bathroom were both large and clean but bedroom was old fashioned but that din't bother me. Wifi in room is charged at 5 Euros a night but it's free in the reception which is what i decided to do. And it was fine. Breakfast was great. Amazing choice on offer from fried eggs and bacon to contiental food. Only about 7 parking places outside front of hotel but there is a free car park around the corner. I was allowed to park out the front near a wall. My GPS Lattitude and longtitude brought me to a roundabout on the main Torreblanca Avenue but the entrance is up the hill 200 metres from the roundabout and ten metres after Calle Covadonga but the map on Hotels.com is very accurate if you zoom in.
