My stay at Hotel El Faro Marbella had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach. but the noise from the nearby school made mornings a bit rough. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience better, but the room itself was a mixed bag. Overall, it had its charm, though it felt a bit dated.

The hotel is perfectly located near the beach and the Old Town. It makes exploring Marbella easy and enjoyable, but the noise from the school across the street was a bit disruptive.

Breakfast was satisfactory but nothing really good. The dining area felt a little cramped, but the option to cook in my room was a plus.

The pool area was pleasant for relaxation, though not very large. Overall, the facilities met my needs but could use some upkeep.
