Molina Lario

Fab, perfectly central city hotel

I booked the Hotel Molina Lario online with Hotel Bookers. I was staying 1 night on route from Granada with the motorcyclist and the teenagers. We had been renting a villa in Almunecar and fancied a bit of comfort in a central position so any of us could come and go as we pleased and we were not dissappointed.

It was easy to find the hotel on the sat nav. The motorcyclist hovered outside while I popped in to find out about parking and was told 'don't worry. bring your bags in and we'll do it for you' - Great. In reception, there was a lady complaining about parking costs, but really, it's positioned right bang in the middle of the city, it was Aug feria week and the hotel states quite clearly there is a parking fee (as most hotels in city centers these days), and we were happy to let them take care of the car and put it in a secure spot. (Later in Marbella, we had a smash and grab after parking on the street, so it's worth it).

The room wasn't ready as we were early and they took and labelled our luggage until 2pm. Once in, the room was delightful. Clean, modern, huge bed, full of nice toiletries, a free bottle of liquer of some description (fire water?!) and free soft drinks and water for the teenagers. We had booked a delux family room for four. The best thing about the room was the little tradional enclosed balcony which looked over the street, so you were practically in the feria without having to even leave your room.

Room service was fast, efficient and reasonably priced. A request for an iron and ironing board the same. The maid was charming and (our only complaint) brough extra fluffy bathrobes for the teenagers with a smile. As I say, we booked a delux family room for 4, but there were only supplies for 2 people, but all corrected right away. The bathroom was full of towels, hairdyyer and they even supplied an umbrella should you need it . The teenagers loved the hi fi.

Rooftop pool was small but perfectly adequate and there was a fab views of the harbour and cathedral. You could order drinks via telephone and at weekends there is a staffed bar with music events.

We didn't eat breakfast, but had a look and it all looked spotless and fresh. The staff were efficient, unassuming and helpful and I would highly recommend this hotel for a city break. No doubt we will return, the teenagers loved it.

Unique Quality: Location location. Efficient friendly staff. Cleanliness and comfort. Family rooms.
