Occidental Torremolinos Playa Hotel, Torremolinos

The hotel rooms would give easy access but were worn down and smelled of mold. The service, especially from Joseph in the bar, was amazing, although a bit overwhelmed at times. The location was excellent for couples looking for a vacation but a bit of a walk to the main concentration of bars and restaurants. The dining experience was tasty but lacked variety and ran out of certain items. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience overall. The rooms were in need of renovation, but some had nice balconies. The service catered mainly to French guests, and there were some nice amenities like room service and tours. The location was in a largely residential area close to Malaga airport, which was convenient for me. The dining experience was a bit underwhelming with repetitive options, but the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

I had a great stay at this hotel situated in a largely residential area close to Malaga airport. The rooms were of a medium size on the third floor, nicely furnished, and with a small terrace, but the air conditioning could have been better. The service was excellent, with hard-working staff who seemed genuinely interested in their customers. The location was convenient, just in front of the beach with many beach bars and restaurants to choose from, although there weren't many options within walking distance outside the hotel. The dining experience left something to be desired, especially the cold breakfast, yet the themes for dinner were a nice touch. Overall, a decent value for the money.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The room provided was not what I expected as a solo traveler, with inconvenience in the TV charging situation and a persistent bad smell from the bathroom drainage. The bed sheets were old and uncomfortable, and the so-called pillows were more like neck rolls. There was also a lack of basic amenities like a coffee machine or kettle. On the positive side, the hotel felt safe, was close to the beach, and within walking distance of the paseo. However, the service was lacking, particularly when it came to assisting with car parking and an untimely housekeeping visit. The dining experience was subpar, with standard offerings and an unpleasant ambiance resembling a piggery. Despite these drawbacks, the location was convenient, being just 10 minutes away from the airport and situated right across the road from the beach.
