Find the Cheap Archidona Hotels

The rooms are quite nice and the food is excellent. Maybe a duvet wouldn't go amiss but overall we were very happy with the service and had our best meal in a week in Spain. The breakfast is generous and varied and was a mix of hot and cold dishes. Dinner was sublime - the scallop and fruit salad was excellent, while the sage and butter and ricotta and spinach ravioli was very tasty. The pork steak was mouth watering. I definitely will eat here and visit again.

My wife and I stayed at La Bobadilla for 6 nights (4th to 9th Sep) and treated my son and his new wife to join us for a honeymoon vacation (4th to 8th Sep). During this period the hotel grounds including the entire pool area and outdoor eating spaces were plagued by wasps. As a result, what was meant to be a relaxing week was turned into a nightmare particularly for my son and his wife. On one occasion they even had to call members of staff to have a hornet removed from their room. After that they kept the doors to their patio closed for the rest of the stay. On a number of occasions, we were made aware by members of staff that the area around the hotel was suffering the same increase of wasp infestation and despite professional services to remove them from the hotel grounds they were not being very successful. Apparently, and more disconcerting, we were informed that this is an annual problem and that this year was particularly bad since there had been little rain in the area. After we left, I wrote to the hotel and received what was clearly a template response as they even apologised for us being ‘inconvenienced by the event we held at the hotel’ during our stay when I hadn’t made comment about that. Another party obviously had! Now the good. The hotel is magnificent and the staff polite and extremely helpful and were it not for the wasps this would have been a delightful stay. However, we spent a lot of money and had we been informed prior to our stay that there was such a problem we could have made alternative arrangements. Clearly, from a commercial perspective, that is not what the hotel would have wanted but surely it would have been the right thing to have done?

Picked up hire car in Malaga and used this hotel as base for trips to Ronda, Cordoba and Granada as it was central for them all and near to main motorway network. Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely big room (121) with balcony and an excellent breakfast. Hotel is on edge of town and taxi will cost 10 Euros each way...town is beautiful too and well worth a visit. I would recommend this hotel and would certainly stay there again if I was touring Andalucia.

If you have read my previous reviews you will note that we booked the Parador Antequera on the basis of our good experience in Parador Cordoba. The plus side of Antequera (unlike Parador) is you can easily walk into town. The Antequera is very different in style a much more modern approach which works equally as well. Smaller rooms but adequate, no tea or coffee facilities but there is a small minibar fridge. Bathrooms are well designed shower over bath, his and hers basins, toilet and bidet. Breakfast is also a much smaller affair than Cordoba but equally as good, worth noting you do have to specify what time slot you will attend. Free parking onsite. Easy walk into town. Market close by on a Tuesday. Unfortunately no showers or changing area so this might be problematic if you have a later flight. Point worth noting is that the pool is very deep starting at about 1.5 and going up to over 2m so it is certainly more of a swimming pool than standing / relaxing pool. Water temp was good and whole area spotlessly clean. Pool towel were collected and returned to reception area. I would stay again.
