Hotel Alavera de los Baños Ronda

The first and most pleasant accommodation on our Andalusia trip. The hosts manage to make every guest feel at home and take personal care of each one. The room was very spacious and warmly furnished while the bathroom with its large shower was also decorated in warm colors. The hosts serve a generous breakfast directly at the table. The house is located right next to the excavation site of an Arab bath, which is well worth a visit. Adjacent to it is an ancient bridge with a magnificent view of the gorge that divides the town into an old center and a newer part. In future it will be possible to walk into on a skywalk which is still in work. A short, direct path leads from the house up to the old town of Ronda, a visit to which was certainly a highlight of our trip. Caution is advised in heavy rain, as a small waterfall can sometimes flood the path. It's best to turn left just before reaching the waterfall into the old churchyard and then follow the path along the foundations of the old walls up to the town center.

You will not regret staying here. We were so happy with our decision to stay here. It was our favorite place that we stayed on our trip. The whole property felt warm, welcoming, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I have no idea how this establishment gets a 4.7 rating.
While the bedroom itself was OK the bathroom was terrible.
The shower cubicle was too small, even for my compact 78kg frame. Imagine a rhomboid shape 60cm widest and 45cm narrowest. A shower curtain that you keep getting tangled in.
We also had an issue with a pungent sewerage smell from either the shower drain or the sink drain. It was eye-watering
We had to report the issue twice. The first time their fix was to put a plug in the sink with little improvement. The 2nd time it was better but still not great.
The position at the bottom of the hill isn't great and I noticed many others struggled to walk up the hill to the town.
On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the pool and garden area very nice.
Breakfast was adequate in size and taste but nothing to get excited about.
I do not recommend unless you have a car and need the free parking.

We loved our stay at this hotel. Quiet and comfortable location at the bottom of the town with free parking! We did not mind the walk up the steps to the main road. Angela at the front desk was so kind and helped us with laundry service and booking a wine tasting in a nearby town. Christian was also very nice. We enjoyed the ‘honesty bar’ and lovely sitting area. The patio off our bedroom was great. The breakfast staff was great and we enjoyed our meals there each morning. Thanks for a wonderful visit!

This is one of the loveliest places I've ever stayed in. The room was lovely with the wood beam ceilings and dark wood decor. The outside courtyard where we had a nice glass of wine and admired the countryside was perfect. Close to the bridges and easily walkable even though there is quite a bit of climbing.

We were only here for one night and it would have been nice to stay longer. The lobby with the soft cozy furniture to sit and read was a delight.
