We had a fantastic stay at a lovely place run by very nice people. The staff made us feel like part of the family and communication was excellent. The location was convenient, with easy access to the beach and a 24-hour convenience store just across the street. The room was comfortable and clean, and we even had a private balcony with a beautiful view of the mountains. we highly recommend this hotel for its friendly atmosphere and convenient location.

When the staff are around they are very friendly and the sisters speak excellent English. It is a good value.

The mattresses and pillows are very old and not comfortable. The staff did not warn us that they take siesta from 4pm to 8pm, so it was impossible for me to get a hair dryer. I now understand why we had to pay in advance as the staff can be hard to find. It is really more of a hostel/restaurant than a hotel. Saturday night (into the late late hours) they had a huge party and I had to wear ear plugs. It is located in between a bunch of car dealerships. Beaches are within walking distance (but not the nicest ones) and there are lots of little (and yummy) fish restaurants nearby at the port. Old town is a fifteen minute walk, but to get to the nice beaches we had to take a taxi or bus. Not a bad value if you are bringing a car.

A very nice propriatress, made us feeling very welcome. Gave us a free cup of coffee even though we did not want breakfast

Though clean enough, the hotel suffered from some delapidation.

The staff were all very helpful and wonderfully friendly, and the room was fine with a bid bed. Its location was ideal and incredible on extreme outskirts of Marbella.

The setting was very very poor.

Breakfast was awesome, enjoyed the location.

Had a VERY PLEASANT stay that was planned to last a night, everything was perfect. All the staff was excellent, settled my issues. The twin room with big balcony had basic facilities you need. Central heating, multi-channel TV and a seating area were available in the room.

The hotel provided good prices. I thoroughly enjoyed this small family run property and stayed for 3 nights here. There were astonishing breakfasts with cheese and spinach and orange juice and the location was good and fantastic.

Everything was perfect, incredibly friendly hotel, the location was convenient close enough to the centre and beaches and city center. Everyone was very helpful as well as host.

The breakfast and food selection are impressive, and the location is very close to the city center, old town, and the beach.

The owner was v ery friendly and helpful and the garden/terracce very pretty. It representend excellent value for money and was simple but ahd all that was needed.. Dinner was also very good and reasonably priced.

The staff were fabulous, so friendly and welcoming and genuinely lovely people

The staff here are really friendly and have a great attitude towards guests. 😊

The atmosphere of the place was absolutely brilliant. It is a family run business and everyone was really friendly and helpful. The house is very close to the beach, at the suburbs of Marbella, but still in walking distance to the center of the town. We had a great time there!

I recently stayed at El Tio Mateo for a week and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the Playa del Cable, the only natural beach in the area. The rooms are comfortable and come with a spacious balcony. The family-owned hotel provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They even offered free parking on-site. I will definitely be returning to El Tio Mateo in the future.

100% Recommend this hotel.

The room was great! The bathroom was clean, the room had ac and a terrace.

It's a little too far away from Marbellla's city center and the buses end too early.

Spacious and modern room, with a super comfy bed! 😊
