This hotel has everything you need, it¿¿¿s clean, breakfast was included in out package and was more than adequate considering it was so inexpensive. The pool was large enough that we didn¿¿¿t even bother going to the beach while we were there. The area itself is just beautiful, the views are breath-taking, the restaurants in the area are lovely the locals are friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Mijas and our stay in this hotel, will definitely be back!

The Hotel is pleasant and relaxed, the location wonderful, but sadly the food and restaurant in general is abysmal. Consider staying on a B and B basis only as the breakfast is just about acceptable. Midas is delightful and just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

The rooms were okay. The bathroom was nice and big and the TV had options for Spanish, English and German networks. I wasn't impressed with the bed - one sad pillow and various holes in the bedsheet. The welcome pack with writing material was a little frayed and half-hearted, and of course there was no pen. I don't recall an alarm clock, glasses or kettle, or anything to add a nice little touch. Really not what I expect from what is allegedly four-star accomodation. I've lived in Spain for a few years and travelled around the country, and this is more what I would expect from a two or three-star hotel at best. The food is my biggest bugbear. I went half board so that I could get most of the expense and effort of eating out sorted before I got to Mijas. Unfortunately, it's a big let down. I stayed for three nights and I am convinced the salad bar consisted of the same food each night, with more added to depleted trays. The ensalada rusa, for example, got more and more watery-looking. The buffet had the feel of someone clearing out their freezer. You'll see from the photos accompanying this review that it was a bizarre mix - one night's dinner options consisted of sausages in breadcrumbs, hash browns, creamed spinach and sprouts. There were never any good meat options, with a chicken curry that looked and tasted like that which I used to be served at school, thin slices of pork in a boring gravy one night and a paella with very little seafood on another night. You can't even have a pitcher of tap water on your table, so you are forced to pay a few euros for a small bottle of water or get yourself an overpriced glass of house wine to go with your food. There are warnings everywhere about not taking anything from the canteen (it's certainly not a restaurant, so I won't call it as such). Drinks are expensive, with a glass of Baileys coming in at ¿¿¿5,30 - the highest I have seen in all Spain, and pretty unacceptable.The pool bar was just as disappointing. I had a cana - a very small plastic glass of beer - and a small packet of ready-salted crisps which set me back ¿¿¿4,50. The food just seemed to take the joy out of eating on holiday, so I'm glad I didn't go all inclusive! The breakfasts were however okay, with typical English and German breakfast options, as well as a fresh fruit counter (although still reusing food from the day before). The hotel didn't have many people staying there - I presume because of the time of year - so I'm at a loss as to why I was put in a room in a wing right out of the way, just above the tennis court (which was maddening, because my time in my room was punctuated by the sounds of a ball being hit and people shouting as they did so). I was annoyed to see that the nicer area around the pool, overlooking the sea, obviously had lots of empty rooms. The pool area is pretty nice, though I will echo previous comments here and say the pool is unacceptably cold. I mean, it was freezing to the point where my legs and feet were in pain. The sea never gets that cold! I tried to swim in it after attempting to acclimatise to the water for some time, but it was just too painful and I'm at a loss to understand how it was that cold when the sun was shining directly overhead. All in all, it's a big, coldly efficient and not very memorable hotel. It's certainly not four stars by any European standards and I wouldn't stay there again. Disappointing.

The TRH Mijas Hotel is built on the mountain side in the village of Mijas. Its close proximity to Malaga airport is great being only about a half hour drive at the very most.The good points are the staff are extremely friendly and very helpful at all times, the breakfasts are superb with a huge variety of both hot and cold foods and drinks to suit everyone, the decor of the hotel is lovely and it has several areas for relaxing in such as lounges and the bar. I have never ever seen such a clean spotless hotel in all the hotels I have ever stayed throughout the world. The cleaners were even taking the wall lights to bits to clean them.The bedrooms are comfortable although maybe a little on the small side. The views from the hotel are fantastic looking away across the sea in the distance.The poor points are having to pay for car parking at the hotel which I dont agree with at all and it is 10 euros per day which is very expensive.The beds iare a bit firm to say the least but did allow a good nights sleep however. The sun loungers at the pool are plastic and have no cushions which makes them extremely uncomfortable. There are no facilities in the bedrooms for making tea or coffee which I think in an hotel of this standard is very poor.. The sauna and hot tub is again chargeable and there is no free access to the gym. I wouldnt recommend paying for the sauna but the massage was fantastic and extremely relaxing and good value.This hotel is no way a four star hotel but it is a very good three star. If they could just stop the car parking charges and put tea/coffee facilities in all the rooms what a difference it would make. Someone in another review wrote the carpets are thread bare, well I wouldnt agree with that but if i were the mangement I would lift the carpets in the hallways are they are getting a bit tired. Would I recommend a stay at this hotel.... YES I definately would and I will return at some point. You will find the bars in the village much cheaper for coffees and drinks and its not far to walk from the hotel into the village square..

I booked this a part of a larger group and found it to be really good value, with good sized, clean rooms and a great buffet style breakfast. Staff were courteous if not overly friendly but that was fine. Would stay again as a great location close to village centre & buses to fuengirola.
