Hotel Monarque Torreblanca – Fuengirola

This hotel offers great value. Right beside the station for travel to the airport or to Fuengirola. Breakfast buffet is wonderful, hot and cold selection unmatched for the overall price paid for this overnight stay. Car parking a bit difficult, as hotel car park is a 200 metre walk. However, overall, really good.

OK hotel as a base as we did not spend much time in it, but it is not in Fuengirola, but in quiet area of Torreblanca (next to Torreblanca station) Restaurant staff very friendly and helpful with special dietary needs. Breakfast was pre-prepared, but enough choice of breads and a few fruits/cereals and enough hot food selection. Spanish/old style rooms, […] good size, view from quite a large balcony of mountains on one side and sea on other (in between buildings). 5 minute walk to nice stretch of seaside with friendly cafe on the corner directly down below, but not much else in the immediate area. However, could take bus or train to Fuengirola (2-10 mins away)- each comes every 20 mins though. Entertainment programme for older people mainly- bingo/live music. Flamenco show ok. Receptionist not most helpful in giving recommendations. Better to go Ronda by train to Fuengiorla and bus from coach station round the corner in terms of timing (think around 11.30am, and cost is slightly cheaper than train). If you just want to relax, mainly on beach, with a few daytrips, this hotel would be a suitable basic base, and has lovely views around the hotel. However, for younger people, or people who want to do more local sightseeing/go somewhere a bit more lively, go for walks along marina etc I would recommend Benalmadena or Fuengirola. Very easy to get to airport from train station (route with no stairs available! around corner from hotel- cost 1.90) but only runs till around 10pm. Lesa meira

I've stayed here a number of times now. I only use it as somewhere to sleep so can't comment on facilities or entertainment, it's rooms are clean and comfortable. A big plus is its right next to Torreblanca station and only 35min train ride from the airport. The staff are friendly and helpful. The beach is a 5 min walk, though it is quite steep for […] those who have mobility issues. Lesa meira

having stayed at this hotel 7 times we noticed a lot of improvements and upgrades within the hotel and food choice.The staff are always friendly and helpfull. The rooms are typical spanish and the added bonus of having bbc1 and bbc2 on the t.v. was pleasing. It is a walk up and down the hill to prom and beach, but the bonus of the train station( to […] and from airport) being only a 5 minute walk( no transfers required) makes this hotel easy to get to.

The hotel is ageing slightly as seen when even the sign on its roof is missing letters. The food is good although get to meals early as it quickly goes cold. The internet wifi is only in the foyer area. Bedrooms are confortable enough but I had to remove the waterproof blanket on my bed (not in the habit of peeing myself since I was 3) for decent […] comfort. Good pools for kids especially. Hotel entertainment not brilliant but good enough to give you an option. Car parking is down the hill 400m. It takes 2hrs to do the hotel transfer from the airport in Malaga! (Not hotels fault granted). Good, cheap and fair hotel which I would return to. Best bits - food and bathing areas. Most rooms have some sort of sea view. Lesa meira

There is nothing dramatic about the hotel, I've stayed there several times and it is reliable. For me the price is right and it is very convenient, particularly the railway, I would hate to rely on the place entirely for food, not that the food is not good, the hotel does the best it can remembering the numbers it caters for.

Certainly not 4**** and maybe just 3***. I booked 6 weeks in advance and asked for a room on the 6th floor or above and was given 3rd floor because "all 6th floor or above occupied". (See other reviews / advice ) on here. Although the room allocated was acceptable the bathroom had a shower that did not function properly. Most of the guests are elderly […] Spanish or German and there is little information to help you find your way around in the first few days. It has a feeling of a convalescent home. Just glad we did not book all inclusive as the meals are very repetitve and the only bar available did not seem to function until late evening. The lifts operate slowly and our record wait was 5minutes 23 seconds on one occasion. WIFI is only available on the ground floor but it is reliable Although very near the station be aware it is not easy to locate on arrival, if dark. I departed feeling sorry for the staff who had to try and make this hotel comfortable. Lesa meira

We stayed at this hotel because of the price, which included breakfast and dinner. The hotel was in ok condition given its age. The refrigerator in the room didn’t work and the bathroom door handle was a bit tricky. That being said the room was big and had everything we needed for a night. The dinner wasn’t great, but for what we paid we didn’t mind. […] A lot of the hot food was cold by the time we got to it, so you may consider getting there early. Breakfast is very typical, everything you need but nothing that will blow you away. We were a bit disappointed there is only an outdoor pool and it isn’t heated. Overall we were satisfied because we just needed the hotel for a night. However, you would not want to stay at the hotel much longer than that. Lesa meira

Bad food and bad service.

Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

The hotel was very spacious, clean and in a very convienient location. Out of the other places to stay location wise this was convieniant due to distance to beach and away from main road. At the same time it was next to the train line which may i add was very punctual, clean and very easy to use as well as cheap for the service it provides if you were […] like us and wanting to go different places along costal del sol. The hotel room was spacious, had good views and from what we saw was clean all for a very good competitive price. The choice for breakfast was beyond expertations really, there was always something to satisfy everyone. The only quarm i would have would be that the breakfast buffet certainly wasnt the hottest i have ever eaten, but that certainly didnt put us off eating it all up, even our fussy 9 year old!! Overall i would reccomend this hotel to all if your wanting to stay in costa del sol and if we were to go again i would deffinately use again. Lesa meira

I stayed here on my own for a week in October. Paid for a single room but got a nice big twin room to myself. It was on the 8th floor and had great views. I think the lower floors would see only other buildings so ask for upper levels. That said there are only two lifts and there can be some long waits. The food was very good in the evenings and I loved […] the various salads. There was always choice though. One or two things could have been hotter but there is a microwave to give it a blast if it needs it. Location is good, right at the station, 2 mins to the beach then a nice flat walk into town if you want shops etc. Staff were great and I would be happy to go back to this hotel Lesa meira

When we checked into our rooms we discovered that we were given a twin room opposed to a double room as requested. When we questioned this no effort was made to rectify the error, being told in a very off-handed manner that we'd have to wait until the following morning. We quickly made the decision that the hotel weren't going to bother moving us, otherwise […] they would never have given us a twin room in the first place. The beds themselves were extremely hard and the pillow each bed had was extremely soft, giving no neck support at all. The room was lacking basic features, such as a clock/alarm, instructions on how to use the phone, no answerphone service and no list of hotel charges. The in room safe clearly hadn't been changed since the building was built- I think it would barely accomodate a netbook, so don't even think about taking a laptop to the hotel. The walls and ceilings were relatively thin, and we could hear what was happening in the adjacent rooms most of the time. While this is due to the age of the building, one wonders why the hotel hasn't installed sound-proofing to their rooms. On the plus side, the hotel was clean and barely a five minute walk from the beach, but that isn't enough to cover up the fact that this is either a poor three star hotel, or a decent two star hotel.

This was a lovely trip all round, made doubly so by having somewhere quiet, clean and comfortable to come back to. As I travel on foot, the Torreblanca being literally a few yards from the train station was a distinct advantage. Didn't eat there so can't comment on food, but staff were friendly and helpful, and atmosphere very welcoming. Perfect location […] for walking along the beach front, excellent local shops and restaurants. The room itself was huge, with a well-equipped bathroom and balcony overlooking the sights and sounds of the town, and a fridge - a must for keeping water chilled in a hot climate. For me - travelling on foot, not having a great deal of Spanish, and travelling as a lone female - this was the perfect base to explore a new area. I felt safe, secure and left to my own devices as much as I wanted to be, but there was always someone around if you needed to ask anything. All in all I wish I could've stayed longer, and will definitely go back. Lesa meira

the torreblanca hotel is very close to the station which is great as you can go into fuengirola, los boliches or to malaga the trains run frequently which is great and it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the airport once you are on the train, we loved the beach which is a short walk which plenty of cafes and restaurants along the front, the only […] thing we did not like was that we found the beds a bit hard and the fridge took a long time to cool the water we put in, other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay Lesa meira

My third visit to the Torreblanca on a golfing trip. Ideal location with easy parking & a train station right at the hotel which is two stops from Fuengirola. Nice restaurants/bars down on the front as well. Good sized clean rooms with balcony. Only two minor points - breakfast is not up to much but can be had at the restaurants at the front quite cheaply […] and two 6 person lifts for 9 floors! Can get very congested at peak times Lesa meira

The hotel is 4 minutes walk from the beach and you can walk there in your swimwear. Decent choice for breakfast for vegetarians and others I guess. Sizeable rooms and balconies. Two swimming pools with lots of sunbeds to soak sun in. The interior is dated in places but for what it offers -- a base for a sun-drenched pleasantly uneventful stay -- I could […] not care less. My only gripe was with the pool lifeguard who wanted to get home early and so locked gates to the pool ares half an hour ahead of the closing time, and if you were there he stared at you like you ruined his youth.

Location is approximately 30 seconds walk from front door round to left and you are at the train stop which is ideal if you are heaving round bulky luggage! This is worth the price of admission alone. Hotel rooms are very large, bright and airy and every room has its own balcony and oodles of storage space. Breakfast is excellent with great choise […] and variety. A 5 minute walk brings you down the hill on to the main esplanade with the beach, restaurants, bars right there which stretch from Carvahal to the left and to Fuengirola Castle and town to the right.

30 min €1.50 trip by train from Malaga Airport to Torreblanca Station. Out of station and left up a Cul de Sac for 3 minutes and your in the hotel. Very helpful and efficient receptionist. Nice big rooms with sea view. Breakfast had plenty of variety all self service including tea and coffee from vending machines which were quite good. Lunch and dinner […] also self service with plenty of choice. I don't eat meat but there were plenty of soups, salads, paella and fish plus several desserts. Drink was self service but at €7 for a bottle of wine worth the walk. Most of the residents were Spanish and over 60 which suited me as they make less noise than children. The hotel had two good pools and gardens. It was only 5 mins downhill to beach with miles of beach both directions. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. Lesa meira

Location great, not hard to find. 10-15 min walk to the beach. Hotel staff helpful, food ok. Our room was comfortable with a view of the sea. The hotel is in desperate need of modernisation. The decor in our room clashed and looked old and tired. Apart from that I could not fault the hotel.

The Hotel was easy to find and the Station is just next door. This isnt a problem at all re noise. We used it daily to travel around the area. At 2 euros each its a Brilliant and easy way to get to the Hotel from the airport. 4**** its not and it may be a little jaded but this reflects in the price.. The area is quiet although you can walk into the […] resort about 20 mins or the convenient train. Its mainly Spanish that use the Hotel at this time of the year. We opted to have the evening meal as was unsure re cafes / bars around but it is worth having and not expensive. Overall would recommend for an inexpensive break in the area. Lesa meira

Hotelli oli iso 9 kerroksinen, huone oli tilava joskin hieman kolkon askeettinen. Ei ollut mattoja lattialla, myöskin valaisimet oli seinillä niin ettei ollut varsinaisia lukulamppuja lainkaan, vain yleisvalaisimia. Valaisinten katkaisijat sijaitsivat sen verran kaukana, ettei sängystä yltänyt niihin, se oli hieman ärsyttävää kun piti nousta illalla […] väsyneenä lämpimän peiton alta niitä sammuttelemaan. Ilmastointia emme saaneet pelaamaan, ehkä toimii vain kesäisin... Patterissa oli kyllä lämmintä, mutta öisin oli silti kylmä ohuiden vilttien alla. Aamiainen oli runsas ja sillä pärjäsi pitkään iltapäivään. Tuoremehut olivat oudon vahamaisen makuisia, niitä emme juoneet. Muuten ok. Huoneeseen ei kuulunut hotellista mitään häiritseviä ääniä, ei edes tanssiravintolasta. Siellä soi iltaisin musiikki melko kovallla volyymilla. Ainoa ääni joka kuului ulkoa, oli junan äänet. Hotellin yläpuolelta kulkee juna, jonka pysäkki on aivan vieressä, se oli kätevää. Hotelli oli kaiken kaikkiaan ihan ok, hinta laatu suhde, parempi kuin odotimme, Voisimme mennä uudestaankin.

Mycket nöjd med vår vistelse på Torreblanca. Ingen störande biltrafik men bekvämt avstånd till stranden och till tågstationen. Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam. Trevliga gräsytor vid hotellet med gott om solstolar och 2 pooler om man inte ville gå till stranden och betala 40 kr/st för solstolar. Det enda som drog ner omdömet var att sängarna var […] onödigt hårda och frukostutbudet blev lite enahanda om man inte älskar bacon, korv och friterat som huvudsaklig starter på dagen.

Das Hotel liegt wenige Fußminuten zum Strand und alle Zimmer haben Meerblick. Innerhalb von 3 Auotminuten ist man auch auf der Schnellstraße in alle Richtungen. Das Hotel ist nicht mehr ganz neu, das kann man an manchen Stellen sehen, aber frische Farbe gabs vor einiger Zeit schon. Das Türkartenleser war defekt, der Repairservice war aber binnen 2 Minuten […] da. Leider war die Klimaanlage nicht gereinigt, deshalb haben wir sie nicht genutzt. Die nächtlichen Temparaturen ließen aber ein gutes Schlafen mit offenener Balkontür zu. Das Essen war reichlich und vielseitig. Ein fantastsicher Blick aufs Meer und Richtung Malaga von der Ostseite des Hauses. Der große Pool ist bei täglicher Pflege sehr sauber, die Liegestühle sind aber offenbar noch aus der Erstausstattung. Wir haben für 2 Kinder aufbetten lassen, trotzdem hatten wir genug Platz im Zimmer ohne uns im Weg zu stehen. LCD-TV vorhanden, Wanne mit klappbarer Duschscheibe ist OK. tägl. Zimmerservice auch. An den starken Reinigungsgerucht bei der Anreise gewöhnt man sich offenbar schnell oder er ist nur am ersten Tag von der Grundreinigung vorhanden. Lesa meira
