Hotel Rural Los Jarales  

The very nice and cozy Hotel is located about 14 km north of Marbella. It takes about 20 min by car over a pretty but very winding road. The Hotel is surrounded by hills and thus very quiet. The house and its garden with the terrace look typically spanish, well-kept and verry beautiful. The view is stunning. The only village around is Istán, which is about 700 metres from the Hotel. The breakfast in the Hotel is quite simple, but enough for its 3 euros. It´s recommandable to take the breakfast, because the next possibility is in Marbella. The hotel staff also lives in the building. Everybody is absolutely nice and friendly. Although nobody really speaks english, we were always able to understand each other and ask for some information. The room was large and clean and typically furnished for a rural Hotel. We enjoyed our stay very much and will probably come back next year.

Very quiet and a really nice Hotel if you need to get away from it all for a few days and need peace and quiet and time to relax this is the hotel for you. Staff were friendly, views of mountains were breath taking. Pool clean and very nice. Would defintley stop there again. Village 5 mins by car and worth a visit it has few bars, with food at good prices. Hotel food was OK, Breakfast 3.50 but tiny, you get what you pay for.

Breakfast could of been better, would of thought a small choice would of been a good idea, ie tomatoes, meats and cheeses. Instead of cake and toast with jam and butter. Would of liked a mirrow in the bedroom.

Excellent value for the price. It is very near a lot sites and hiking. The staff is very attentive without being too much like a helicopter or shallow. Excellent place

The view was amazing, the bedrom was really big and confortable. The swimming pool was small but really refreshing and cute ! the laday was really friendly, a lovely place to go to !!

It's a shame the restaurant is not opened every night. There are a few restaurants in town, but we preferred the hotel restaurant were we had a nice and cheap dinner on Sunday. Maybe it vwould be nice to have a fridge in the room since the bar and restaurant are closed in the evening.

The hotel is set in a stunning location and the staff at the hotel were extremely friendly. The food was the best we had during our 2 week trip.

I'd never been to Spain before but wanted someplace away from the crowds, but not too far. This was one of a few I'd narrowed it down to and I chose it in the end because of the location, price, and especially because of the other reviews - which were not wrong! My husband loved it as well. The room was clean & comfortable, with a big private bathroom. It had an amazing view over the countryside that we had not expected. It was just a short walk from a small idyllic white village with some great restaurants that were much cheaper than in the city centre. And the manager was extremely helpful and friendly. My husband and I both agreed we'd like to return someday for another relaxing getaway, in fact, I for one was already pining away for it the very next weekend.

Great staff, clean and cozy facilities. The private spa (with sauna and jacuzzi) can be booked per hour.

I've been there only for one night. The location was very well situated on the mountains, with a very beautiful landscape. The price for the room was fair but the services were very poor. We arrived in the evening and we asked for a small meal in the restaurant, but the answer of the lady was that they don't serve meal in the evening. In the morning, the breakfast consisted in only one cofee, one glass of natural juice and one slice of bred with butter. I asked for two more slices of bread, and they cost me another 3 EURO. Incredible, no? I belived that when you go to a pension in the mountains, in a small countrvillage you should find there more hospitality and especially correct prices for all services.

Buena ubicación, tranquilo a mas no poder. Ideal para descansar. La atención fue excelente, especialmente de Paqui. Repetiremos sin duda. Algun comentario habla sobre la peligrosidad de la carretera. Para los que acostumbramos a hacer rutas por la sierra..... Sin problema. El pueblo y el entorno muy agradable. La piscina magnifica y la sauna / jacuzzi perfecto

Nada de particular para el que le guste las "incomodidades" de la estancia en la sierra.

Läget ! Vackert ,litet , personligt trevligt när det drivs som ett familjehotel. Vacker pool. Bra helt enkelt !

En general muy agradable, un entorno maravilloso y una buena relación calidad precio, tratándose de un pequeño y familar hotel rural, pero sin ninguna duda lo mejor es el personal que lo atiende y en especial la chica encargada, Paqui, dispuesta siempre a facilitar todo lo que pueda, informarte, con un trato entrañable y familiar pero exquisitamente cortés. Una experiencia muy agradable.

Tratandose de un hotel pequeño, con el bar y el restaurante cerrado por la tarde-noche y con pocas opciones para cenar o alternar, creemos que sería una buena idea que las habitaciones dispusieran de un pequeño frigorífico.

Mi marido y yo íbamos de aniversario de boda y además necesítábamos relajarnos, ha sido perfecto, hemos disfrutado de un entorno precioso y el trato en el hotel ha sido excelente, su encargada a parte de ser muy agradable es una todo terreno, vuelvo a felicitarla por la ilusión y el esfuerzo que hace para que sus huespedes se encuentren como en casa.
