Cepsa "el Pilairillo" station…read more All Cepsa stations we visited while driving through Spain, were well-kept and service was great. But at this one, the owner came out and talked to us in Spanish, and was so amazingly friendly and happy. He even gave us a promo calendar and lollipops! So cute! Service was fast and helpful; prices were good. Conversation was very fun. It pays to learn Spanish, kids. Access to a whole new world! This guy is lovin' life! He has dog food for sale on the side. He lives in an in-law suite in the station building. He works every single day of the week. And he is one of the happiest souls I've ever met. That's a picture of him, waving his arm in the air, in the calendar photo I provided. He said he could not ask for a better set-up. His view from the station is the second breath-taking view we've seen at a Cepsa; definitely worth stopping to see. I never had so much fun at a gas station in my life!

We took a bus from Malaga to Ronda for a daytrip to this beautiful old Spanish town…read more The bus was clean and air conditioned. The one going did not have WiFi but the one coming back did. The drivers were very focused and very nice as they greeted people. I liked this company. Very professional and very timely.

This is a wine museum that gives lots of info on the wine making history of the area around Ronda…read more After the museum visit, they have different wine tasting options. The tasting and museum visit are included in one price. The basic one for 5€ is 6 tastings, including two wines from a faucet on a wall! We had the upgraded tasting with 6 different types of sherry and the two faucet wines for 12€ each. It was GREAT. Our docent/wine host was very informative and very friendly. They include reds and whites and are generally very young. Heads up though, don't plan to get two different types of tastings and share with companions. They don't allow sharing. Hot tip: Ronda has lots of tour busses bringing visitors in from some bigger cities. Wait until they leave to get in and you'll have a better experience. Less crowded, less pressure to buy wine as you leave. We showed up around 2:45pm as they all moved out. We had our run of the place and they were a bit more lax with the tastings...

Wonderful hotel in the wonderful town of Ronda. The proprietor, whose name I didn't get…read moreunfortunately, was an absolute professional and was unfazed by anything we asked of him. The building is gorgeous and location is right on the road next to the famous Puente Nuevo bridge. Can't imagine that there is a nicer hotel anywhere near Ronda. Highly recommended.

I stayed here after finding a reference in Rick Steves's guide to Spain. The location was…read moreconvenient to both the train station and city center, and they had inexpensive rooms available without advance notice. I found the hotel to be small and cluttered feeling, and my room was clean but shabby (very uncomfortable bed & tiny shower stall with a shower door that didn't shut properly, getting water all over the bathroom). But I suppose I shouldn't complain about a room with a private bath that was around 30 Euro!

Amazing Views! Great location right between old and new…read moreronda. Expectations: hotel room may need to include hotel sandals, improved blow dryer for her, and cleaner drinking glass. Breakfast time: looks like lots of tour groups , during breakfast time & it is understaffed, because "pandemic" right? 500 euros per night for a decent room. Thanks for reading and happy travels!

Expectations crushed to the rock bottom... This was one of the best hotels we booked for our entire…read moreSpain trip. However, falls extremely short compared to its price and the name. CUSTOMER SERVICE: - This is VERY important when it comes to hotels. I expect to be taken care of to their capability with whatever needs the guests have. - Well, here is my experience & first impression here: We finally arrive at the hotel after a ~2hr drive looking forward to checking in & resting a bit in our rooms. There was no clear sign to the parking lot and the (tiny) front of the hotel seemed to be crowded with other cars. I told my dad I'll run in to ask where the parking lot is. While I went inside to seek help, our car was on standby on a street. The front desk (2 ppl helping) was quite busy helping guests check in. When I saw a pause, I tried to jump in to ask ONE SIMPLE QUESTION about parking. She didn't even bother to look at me and I know she heard me say "excuse me" about 3 times. The guests that were being helped felt sorry for me looking super desperate and tried to get her attention FOR me - how nice of them! But they had a conversation in Spanish that I didn't understand. But from body language I can tell that she was saying that she is going to give them her full attention at the moment. And then again, doesn't even look or recognize me being there at all treating me like a nobody. What in the world??? Like sure, you should give them your full service then, but you can't even tell me that? She could've at least let me know "I'm sorry, I will be right with you after I help these guests." AM I CRAZY? How can she KNOW that I am there and just straight up ignore me? WTF Never have I been treated this way at a 4-star hotel. - She disappeared after helping them so I approached the other desk who answered my question. I hate being humiliated (perhaps for my gender, age, race) so I was still shaking. I told him about my frustration and he apologized for her but I needed to hear it from her. I saw him to talk to his manager about my situation but she did NOTHING. ROOMS: - Feels like a cabin with old wooden furnitures... ew - Apparently hotel view is all up to your luck. You get the bridge view or not. Of course we got the unlucky view because they just hate me for some reason the moment I walked in lol great - Bathrooms are pretty nice with full amenities BREAKFAST: - Complimentary breakfast was included and this added to my list of disappointments here - Coffee was super watered down - Nothing served to your order; all buffet style (not fresh) - Best thing I had this morning was the orange juice ETC: - Parking costs about 8€ - Anyone can come see the bridge from the side of the hotel through a walkway around it - Prime location close to the bridge and all the shops/restaurants - Hotel charges € per phone use I blame myself for setting my expectations too high for this 4-star hotel. I would NOT RECOMMEND staying here for anyone else. As mentioned earlier, the walkway next to the hotel to see the bridge is open to EVERYONE. Simply no need to stay at this specific hotel for its price. Nothing exceptional here whether its the rooms, service, or food - so ask yourselves, why?!
