Hotel Balcon de Europa

Sara Silverstein

I’ve never been more torn about a hotel review… what I will say is, the location of this hotel is absolute perfection! You’re right in the town center so everything is accessible. The hotel beach access starts at 10a (but you can easily access it earlier from the public entrance). They provide beach chairs and umbrellas so you can stay all day! The restaurants food is fine and definitely overpriced. I paid 8€ for a mocktail. 🫠 We had the paella which was fairly flavorless but the fish was good. The service was GREAT and they were very kind! The room… left a lot to be desired. Air conditioning being one of them. It was very hot in Nerja so we didn’t expected the room to be cold but it sat at a solid 27°C the whole time. Which made sleeping challenging and the bed was as hard as the floor. We had multiple service people in to help but the room never got to a tolerable temperature. The bathroom also didn’t have good ventilation so it smelled a bit moldy. Keeping rooms dry by the ocean has to be an impossible task but my allergies were definitely activated. The morning breakfast is designed for Americans and UK folks - a plethora of options which were all fine. The breakfast view was the true treat! The parking is also odd - you have to take a key back and forth from the front desk to let you in and out. There is certainly some sort of technology that they could implement to make this easier for the guest. We decided to check out a day early to find somewhere else to rest our very warm heads as we continued our Spain road trip.

I was a single traveller and found this hotel perfect. Location brilliant. I had a junior suite so had a balcony overlooking the sea. Room and bathroom large and spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly. Very quiet

Beautiful views of the sea. Front of house staff very helpful and friendly. Balcony view excellent. Hotel centrally situated and all restaurants within easy reach of the hotel. We are coming back next year and looking forward to seeing the town.

Nice hotel. Great location. Friendly staff, especially in the restaurant. If you can afford it, pay extra for a room overlooking the Med. One negative - the hotel says that it has British TV channels - it doesn't.
