    The rating did not match. While I loved the common areas, the room was very tired. There were hols and tears in the sheets and the curtains. The textiles on the bed had stains in it. You should not get this in a four-star hotel. The room felt like a budget hotel. How much would it cost to replace sheets with proper ones? Not a big investment. We didn’t use the pool, but it is good to be award that it is in the shade most of the day. The hotel seemed to be staffed by mutes, ie the staff were not very outgoing, you could barely tell they were there. No smiles or hellos. Breakfast was adequate, but with limited selection.

    The architecture was amazing and the place was beautiful. The location was great.

    the thin net curtain at the window was a bit worn and ripped in places. we have stayed here about 4 times and have always thought it would be nice if there was a small bar open where, if the weather nice, you could purchase a glass of wine and sit outside and enjoy the view

    very good breakfast. lovely view from terrace. spacious room

    We didn't have a lounge that we could sit in for drinks. Bars that were in the hotel were closed most likely due to being off season.

    Fantastic location, lovely comfortable hotel. Great for an out of season stay.

    Can NOT change heating off to cooling. Air condition is locked to heating. Church bells ring every sharp hour, every 15 past, every half an hours and even 15 to next full hours (like 01:45, 11:45:112.45 etc..)

    Breakfast is a very basic but OK. There are many small restaurants within 50-100 m proving breakfast from 10-15 e / person should you wish to elsewhere. Location in the old city. Restaurants and shops near. Nice small spa (20 e/1,5hours)

    La Fonda Hotel, an excellent location.

    Shower had low pressure so more of a trickle than a flow and difficult to get the temperature right. This was the only grouse, everything else was good.

    Location was good. Hotel was traditional with good breakfasts. The evening restaurant was one of the best around if not the best, pity it only opens on a few days. Rooms were very clean, although the beds had seen some wear so not the most comfortable. Quiet location very close to a pretty square, with cafes and the other good restaurant. The plaza square is the main attraction to the pueblo and gets lots of visitors. The Bus service covered main towns etc and was very cheap. If you want a change from the beach, this is the place to stay.

    Long and complicated trek from the garage to reception, up a steep hill and with no lift between the two made tansporting luggage to and from the car a real pain

    Clean comfortable room and pleasant Andalusian atmosphere of the hotel.

    Everything was great!

    The hotel is beautiful and exactly as in the photos. We had a room on the ground floor which overlooked the restaurant. Unfortunately, the pool was closed and maintenance was being carried out but it didn't disturb us. The breakfast was great and even better for the amazing sunrise and panoramic views over the coast. We treated ourselves to a spa experience and highly recommend it. We didn't have treatments but as it was 11 am we had the whole place to ourselves. The lady explained everything and left us to enjoy the peace, wonderful! She even bought mint tea and water. The location is perfect and close to shops, bars, and restaurants. As we were there between Christmas and New Year, not everything was open, but we still had plenty of choice. The bus stop is a 5-minute walk and will take you to the newer part of town and the coat and marina in 20 minutes. It's a pleasant if long walk down, but coming back is uphill so it was great to have the option of public transport.

    My wife and I love this small elegant hotel and have been here many times. It's a beautiful quiet setting for a romantic getaway and it's in a great location for visiting the many beautiful areas around it. Staff are pleasant, accommodation is comfortable and food on offer is very good. Just a great place to get away to relax and chill.

    The breakfast was ok but the "hot" food was cold unfortunately. I would recommend ordering the fresh eggs from the kitchen as they come out hot. The toaster is very slow.

    The view was amazing. We had a room with a private terrace which I would highly recommend.

    My wife and I had made a special choice to stay at the La Fonda after spending a week there five years ago. One of the things we were looking forward to was the restaurant and also the option of having a drink in the hotel after supper. I was more than surprised when told neither the bar or the restaurant were open. I was rather taken aback, as it should have been pointed out to us at the time of the booking. We were most disappointed.

    Helpfulness of the staff. Location within the pueblo. Views from the bedroom. General ambience and character of the hotel.
