Hotels Near JD Sports in Marbella

Fabulous hotel in a great location. Downside was the poolside music and afternoon DJs who had the same boom boom music on a loop - all day! One exception was the DJ who was accompanied by a musician playing an electric guitar. He was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I doubt the people responsible for the choice looked at the demographic of their clientele. Having stayed at both hotels this year (Ibiza & Marbella) I accept the younger residents in Ibiza would enjoy this genre of music but it now the crowd in Marbella. It certainly is SO repetitive that after 5 days I wanted to scream 'turn it off!' Apart from that we had a fabulous time!!

We stayed a week in Obal urban Hotel and we had 10/10 experience. The staff were so helpful and pleasant and the housekeeping deserve a huge shoutout! The room we got was well appointed with plenty of hotel toiletries and towels. We had the most fantastic balcony overlooking orange square. We stayed for 7 nights half board. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of selection. Maybe we wouldn’t do half board if staying for a week again as there was lots of restaurants to chose from on Marbella. The 360 bar and pool was a great addition and the cocktails were delicious! The beach was a hop skip and jump away with the beds being 18€ a day for 2 beds and umbrella! We will return for sure! Room 502 10/10!

The location of the hotel is right next to the beach. The location is first-rate, the service is warm, the rooms are large, the facilities are complete, there are many restaurants near the hotel, and the public parking lot next to it is very convenient and highly recommended.

First the negs; There were some poor electrics one socket was with wires showing and the balcony the same without light. The balcony was half fixed still no working light but no bare wires, the socket was fixed. So no balcony light. The sheets are thick and rough not light or soft and it was not nice as it was hot and I don't like to use air con but like a sheet on me. The lefts are unreliable. You can wait 5 minutes for one to take you up or down they just pass you though called and as I was on the 3rd floor and there are 7 (actually 8 as the breakfast floor is an extra floor between 0 and 1 called E) so I did not want to talk to roof terrace for pool area nor down for breakfast. My room was noisy as had a connecting door between me and the people next door no insulation from speaking at all. No coffee making facilities as no kettle or cups milk coffee tea in room. Safe needed money if wanted not self set code it was the key type and 3 euro per day which I did not want to spend so locked stuff in my case. The toilet seat moved when sat on. The shower was over bath and in the middle of the length of the bath not at the end yet they only provided a shower panel/screen to half way so you either got loads of water on floor or had to hold the shower and not have it on the holder really strange. The hand soap was horrid smelling. Breakfast was hot and miss with the eggs they usually were old. The melon likewise some days was soft on edges like out for hours or cut the day or two before. The sweet pastries were mostly mediocre and cheap tasting. I cannot comment on the meat I don't eat it. Now the pros: Location. Absolutely wonderful for beach and the old town centre and all the parks all on foot and good supermarket nearby Carrefour so no need for car. The balcony was nice for 2 people and looks down on the street with trees and birds and lovely sky at night. There are 4 free electricity sockets in the room. The reception staff are really nice and helpful and spoke good English. The roof terrace though had small pool was nice as the pool was covered and would be good off peak though unheated and there were plenty of umbrellas and loungers for use. No bar but you can buy from the bar on the floor E and take up. Wonderful sea view. They have included a long curved sloped entryway for pushchairs and wheelchair users to enter the building. The cleaning is of a high standard in the main. You get a floor clean once a week and daily bedmaking or towel changes as needed you just leave towel on floor if dirty. Plumbing very good and shower pressure and temperature hot or cold as wanted very good. I hope you find this helpful if so please vote so!

My wife and I spent two nights at this hotel on September 1st and September 2nd. And our experience was way better than we expected. Among all the hotels in the area, this is one of the most affordable ones, and yet, they have the quality of service that most of the luxury hotels have. First, they have a parking lot, next to the hotel and it's pretty affordable per day. The hotel location is excellent, next to one of their main avenues and a few blocks away from the beach. Customer Service employees at the front desk were always nice and helpful, especially, Mr. Beltran. Regarding it's cleanliness, no complaint at all, the room was super clean and we enjoyed our stay.

This is both on the main road near the old town are and short walk in from beach.So lots of transportation options and nice walk along the beach. It is a large lobby with shop, patio, bar and restaurant. My room was very large and the bathroom was huge. Great mattress. The TV program choices were great for Spanish speakers but almost nothing in English or French. No CNN, no BCC not Euro news. Good value and I would stay again.

Everything perfect, very friendly and helpful receptionist, to repeat

Plus points: Room large, shower huge although water temperature varied greatly, 2 sinks, quiet location (we were in the back section). Staff are lovely and helpful and have a great command of English and various other languages. Pool big and very quiet in April! There were people swimming in it but I didn’t try it. Close proximity to beach (if you are on holiday) it’s a short walk across the road and through the very expensive Porto Romano resort. Negative points: No alcohol served anywhere in the hotel. Hotel is Halal friendly but doesn’t offer alternatives, not a huge issue as I eat it but my partner wanted pork sausages and bacon and it isn’t offered. Breakfast does offer a good variety of choices though so no one went hungry! Huge negative is the proximity to the local Mosque in terms of the chanting several times a day for long periods, probably should be mentioned on the website - along with the no alcohol - so guests can make an informed decision. The hotel is very minimalistic and I wouldn’t say it is 5 star but in line with other southern European countries the stars are often exaggerated. I think 4 star is a more suitable rating. It does have a gym but it’s a very basic gym. Also has a spa open from 10-6 but I didn’t visit this. The biggest problem for me was the poor WiFi. They offer two types WIFI_Alanda and ALAND_PRO and both were absolutely dire. I ended up streaming off my mobile device. I tried it in several locations and eventually popped across the road to the Porto Romano resort as their WiFi is amazing. This is probably the main reason for the 3 star review as it cannot be a business hotel if it doesn’t have the services to support it. Lovely stay but the stress of not being able to connect to WiFi that could support a teams call was really negative.

It should be a better five-star hotel in Marbella, but the experience is average and will not stay again. The picture of the Ctrip suite does not match the actual situation. It is actually a sofa in an ordinary hotel room, and the room has a musty smell. Ctrip indicated that it will open in 2020. I thought it was a new hotel. The actual decoration is relatively old. I don't understand why it is a hotel opened in 2020. The front desk service does not meet the five-star standard. The procedures are completed in the morning and the room card is picked up in the afternoon. There is a person at the front desk, very slow, and waited for a long time. The advantage of the hotel is that there are many restaurants, it feels good to eat at night, the location is by the sea, and the walk is very comfortable.
