AIRE Hotel & Ancient Bath ALMERÍA

The location is excellent, close to the Moorish fortress.||The hotel breakfast is on the top floor with good views. However the inside area for buffet and tables is cramped, and outside the floor, tables and chairs are worn. Staff eat and chat while guests are serving themselves breakfast and reception thought that was fine. The food does not get replenished promptly, the intercom system made eating breakfast like being in an airport. The menu hardly changes. The loo near the breakfast area didn't have tissues or a towel for drying your hands, and the cistern continuously filled.||The pool (nice and warm) is on the top floor and the floor is also worn. ||When I asked for more hangers in my room, they provided bent wire ones and at the second request they provided wooden ones. The lighting in my room was very dim and impossible to see oneself at the dressing table. The pillows were hard and again it took two days for them to bring soft ones. There was a mysterious thumping in my room in the early mornings - I mentioned this and the matters above to the reception but there was little interest.||When I said to reception that there was no ordinary tea or milk in my room, the response was that one is given out each day, and if you use it, then no more is provided.||I was offered a complimentary session at the Spa, but declined, as it's not my thing. I asked for some financial recompense but there has been no response. ||I do not think the hotel is customer focussed.

We spent 2 days - me and my 12 year daughter. Sadly on booking.com it didn't say she wasn't allowed in baths, but website makes it very clear so my bad. Roof top pool was sufficient thou and she spent most days there. Incredible location, view onto the square amazing, great little restaurants 2 mins walk away. Definitely be coming back. Staff super helpful and welcoming.

Great hotel, great location, the spa was amazing, we got a junior suite, not that we used the seating area but it was good value with breakfast and spa access included. The spa was amazing, we had relaxing massages €36 for 30 minutes plus the two hours of spa access meant that we arrived at our dinner at cuatro hojas next door (which was also out of this world) very relaxed and happy and had a great sleep. Shame that the square was under construction, but I'm not sure we can blame the hotel for that.

Absolutely loved this hotel. From the wonderful welcoming and helpful staff, comfortable beds, great shower with L’Occitane products, absolutely superb spa, warm rooftop swimming pool with panoramic views, generally fantastic location for sites through to the great food options nearby, this place is pretty close to a dream.||Thanks to the awesome staff for making our stay extra enjoyable. We both really want to come back asap!! :-)

We chose this hotel because of its four star status, intimate size and location. Overlooking the Plaza de la Constitución with the Alcázaba in the distance, the location is wonderful. Or it will be when the renovation work on the plaza is completed. Woken at 8am every morning by a construction site is not ideal. We deliberately booked a Junior Suite to take advantage of the view and whilst we we were offered a different (inferior) room when we pointed this out, surely the hotel should make guests aware of this when booking?|The hotel is modern/contemporary but not that practical. There was no hotel ‘directory’ to tell us the usual stuff you need to know like how to operate the safe, where are the pool towels, where and how much is breakfast, what is the towel/linen policy and of course how do we contact reception/housekeeping. We couldn’t contact them anyway, other than by calling the outside line as our room phone didn’t work.|There was no door to the bathroom itself, no problem, obviously the shower and toilet had doors. Except the mirrored glass toilet door isn’t flush to the wall so therefore any ‘activity’ in there is heard in the rest of the suite!|Being locked out (twice) and a soiled towel all addressed promptly by the reception staff, but this isn’t what you expect from four star. Probably a super spa retreat for a couple of days, any longer, not really.

Yes, accessibility is currently limited due to the noisy works on the square, which start every morning before 8 am. Breakfast is in small overcrowded area, but has good choice. The room has this special smell related to the SPA facility in the basement. And top of the bill, on Friday there was a party just next door, just as if the DJ is playing in front of the room. Overall just ok.

This was a fabulous one night stay, one night spa experience. Wish we could have stayed longer, we will be back for sure. Front of house staff were absolutely delightful and friendly, the hotel itself is steeped and embedded in ancient history. situated right off the main square the views are spectacular from the rooftop heated pool and breakfast area.|The rooms are quirky but absolutely beautifully appointed plan bathroom area with a wonderfully appointed upstairs lounge area with the bedroom in a low area however view was right onto the square and across to the beautiful statue and Castle.||This is an ancient city established around 900 AD and was not designed for big American cars. Be prepared for skinny streets and tight corners and also be prepared to park your car in a underground car park 5–8 minutes walk from the hotel, if construction is going on you cannot drop your bags prior to parking so my advice, travel light. ||The city is bustling with exciting tapas bars so be prepared to have a glass of wine or a small beer and a couple of tapas and move onto the next.||Also be prepared and learn a little bit of Spanish this is truly old Spain where English she's not the first language

Me and a friend stayed here for their birthday weekend and I can honestly say I have never stayed in a room so lovely! We were both absolutle blown away by how amazing it is! On top of that we had booked in for a Spa experience on the Saturday and whilst the experience was absolutely amazing, some loud customers detracted from the experience. I went to reception to complain and they were extremely helpful. 5/5 stars overall because the hotel is lovely, the staff are very attentive and the location is right in the centre of Almeria and very easy to explore the city from.
