What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We stumbled into the restaurant by chance. It was an amazing experience! The view and location is stunning. The menu consisted exklusivly of intriguing dishes. The food was delicious. The best thing of all was probably the service. Clara is amazing at her job and made us feel at home!! :) we would travel to Ronda again just to stay at this Hotel!”
“What a charming hotel, I really enjoyed my stay. The service was great, really close to centre (5min walking). Rooms were clean and spacious and they have a beautiful terrace & café to relax in. Breakfast buffet was also very good. The only issue was dropping off suitcases in the car. The hotel is situated inside the city wall, the hotel communication suggests you drive up to drop off bags, but getting through the opening in the wall and driving up a very narrow street in a hire car was too much of a squeeze. The good news is that there are a few free parking areas close by.”
“Stayed here for one night. I Loved it! The Boutique Hotel was a wonderful place to stay and not too far from the main sightseeing areas of Ronda. The Hotel itself is beautiful with tiered verandas at the back and the bottom tier has a beautiful swimming pool. Staff were very attentive and friendly and helpful. The resident cat is called Duchess.”
“This 9 room hotel in old town Ronda, beside the ancient city gate, is absolutely charming. Isabela, the guest concierge, is possibly one of the kindest hotel staff I have met. We have stayed here for 4 days and have only encountered friendly, helpful staff from the cleaners to the lovely terrace restaurant staff. The hotel, grounds and rooms are spotless and charming. Suitcases can be dropped off then park your car for free a 100 meters away. Lots of hills! Directions from staff are very clear. I would highly recommend this hotel.”
