I recently had the pleasure of staying 2 nights at Óbal Urban Hotel - Marbella and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. I was impressed by the hotel’s sleek, modern design, warm ambiance, and exceptional hospitality. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. Nestled right in the heart of Marbella’s charming Old Town, the hotel is just steps away from the beach, the iconic Orange Square and countless shops, restaurants, and cafes. Everything was within easy reach. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. I especially appreciated the modern touches — excellent air conditioning, comfortable bedding, a spacious shower. The attention to detail in both design and cleanliness was top-notch. A highlight of my stay was the hotel’s rooftop terrace and pool, offering breathtaking views of Marbella and the sea. Customer service was exceptional. Every member of the staff was friendly, attentive and eager to help. A special thanks to the front desk team offering recommendations, arranging transport and always greeting us with a smile. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to suit every taste. I highly recommend this hotel and will absolutely return on my next visit to the Costa del Sol!
