Hotel El Mirador

Very good solution . Excellent hotel

Used this hotel as a base for property hunting near Montefrio and surrounding area. For £65 a night including breakfast, this was an exceptional hotel for the price. I have stayed in many similar hotels for a lot more money. Staff were great, very helpful considering we spoke no Spanish and some of the staff spoke no English. The rooms were very modern and the beds comfortable. The location has fantastic views over Loja and is close enough to the motorway to make this a great stop between Granada and Malaga. Prices in the bar for food and drinks were very reasonable, we paid €42 for 3 meals and a round of drinks. The terrace in the Summer would be fantastic to chill out and enjoy the views. Loja is a small spanish town, so it is not reasonable to believe there will be lots of choice for restaurants and bars. Out of season it is quiet, ideal for relaxing. We tried the Spa facilities for €18 each and again the facilities were exceptional for the price. I would highly recommend this hotel for a few nights stop over, providing you have a car.

A very modern hotel with good facilities except on a Sunday when the spa closes at midday and check in is not until 2pm Lovely views from the terrace and clean and reasonably spacious rooms. This is my second visit and unfortunately the restaurant did not meet expectations this time with the Pork Shoulder Risotto presenting the Pork undercooked to the point of being so chewy that it was impossible to eat and the risotto overcooked to the point of it being almost porridge - the bread roll was good though - I am assuming that the chef was having an off day as on a previous visit the food was very good - it’s all about consistency in the hospitality arena and I hope this is just a one off glitch - I will certainly try the Hotel Mirador again as it suits my purpose but next time I will eat in the village

Hotel is very Modern, Outdoor area if sun is shining is very nice, although sunbed area on top floor was locked to sit up there, dining/breakfast staff very helpful and friendly, Breakfast was Nice, I was happy enough with what i ate, Dinner not so much but i didnt starve, Deserts are extremely disappointing with the same desert every single day( 3 in total, cold custard, rice pudding and same bitesize cheesecake every day), actually nicer cakes at breakfast, Bedrooms Rooms are Spacious, not alot of space in bathroom for putting your own toiletries when you arrive(no Shelves anywhere), 4 hangers in wardrobe, hairdryer in bathroom(what woman wants a hairdyer in the bathroom after a steam shower ????) Location of Hotel is a huge Minus with nothing beside it and you need to be very fit as its on the top of a huge hill coming from both directions but view of Mountain is lovely from hotel and its very quiet location, but bear this in mind if you plan to go down at least 3 levels of steps alongside hotel to go to supermarket or pharmacy, their is a few little Tapas bars down that direction if you fancy the walk and dont mind steepHills or Steep steps. Drinks price wise not to bad in hotel bar but a little slow perhaps at dinnertime due to lack of staff, hallway to rooms is lovely upstairs and fridge empty in rooms was a plus to put stuff into in your room, rooms were cosy and warm

Terrible hotel, awful breakfast with soggy bacon and eggs soaked in grease! Tinned fruit and Coco pops and cornflakes the only cereal choices! Dinner menu is just as bad and food was bland. Staff are clearly not trained in customer service and we were very aware from the outset we weren't their priority and we felt more of a hindrance. They decor is clinical and lighting is awful, so bright. No mood or atmosphere. We stayed 2 nights and wanted to check out after one! We decided not to as we would lose money having already paid! Otherwise we'd have moved on as quickly as possible. Awful spot with no decent restaurants nearby and both to really see apart from the view which is not worth it considering everything.

Excellent modern hotel, we only stayed for one night on route to Algarinejo and would definitely use it again. We stayed in a suite, which was fantastic, large bathroom, king size bed with an additional seating area with 2nd tv. We checked in late evening and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Buffet breakfast for 10 euros was good value for money, there were two cereals, bacon, potato tortilla, fried and scrambled eggs, fresh tomatoes, selection of meats and fruit, pasties, yoghurts etc. Fresh orange juice and the usual tea coffees. Served 07:30 to 10:30, we were a little late however the staff cooked up more eggs and bacon for us once we asked. Overall excellent hotel, definitely will be staying again.
