Hotel Caballo de Oro

Average hotel. Clean and comfortable. OK for a long weekend. Bar was closed when we were there. Alas, the breakfast wasn't that good.

Fantastic stay bteween 30/09/2024 and 07/10/2024. Great staff and good food. Hotel was spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds. Would stay agin. Only downside was evening meal was at 8pm which is too late for us, but the Spanish eat later. In a good location as well.

Stopped here for 2 nights as a solo traveller.|Check in was quick, I was given some choice about what floor/bed I wanted (they must have had availability because I’d only paid for a single bed). |Room was dated, but it was clean and comfortable.|No English tv channels as I like to watch a bit before bed sometimes!|Lift was slow.|Felt a little out of place as this hotel was full of Spanish and they were trying to talk to me and I felt a bit rude! But I wanted a hotel in walking distance of the bars/strip which was in budget so this was ideal for me. |Would stop here again if I was looking for a similar holiday.

Considering how little i booked this hotel for, i was more than pleasantly surprised when i got to my room. It was very nice with an equally nice clean bathroom. To top it all, it included Breakfast.... I would have "No problem" recommending this hotel to others, I would certainly stay here again. 👍🏼👍🏼

The hotel is located not far from British Square and half way between the new and old town. The hotel really caters for an older Spanish clientele and would not be suitable for young families.||||The room was pleasant if a little dated. It was clean and well maintained. There were no English channels on my TV and the rooms do not have fridges - though you can hire them. There is wifi but it is somewhat slow and unreliable. The bed I found very comfortable and there was a large balcony. Breakfast did have warm and cold items - perhaps not entirely to British tastes. The dining room was rather understaffed at breakfast and finding a clean table was difficult.||||I found no problems with the bathroom and the shower was more than adequate. Towels were changed daily.||||The pool was large for the size of the hotel. I guess it was a 25 metre pool with the last 5 metre sectioned off for children. The area around the pool was large and very pleasant.||||The hotel was significantly cheaper than comparable hotels in the area.

I have just returned from a 4 night break in this hotel arrived Sunday 9th Feb, I arrived at 12.20pm and as I had emailed prior to arrival to let them know (check in is 4pm) they kindly had a room available for me. I got room 204 and check in was average, the guy on reception was friendly, so was the girl working a couple of nights, the other staff were pleasant. The room sees little sun (ask for a room facing Tommys Bar or the sea) through the day, maybe because of the time of year. It has a balcony, 2 chairs and a table, the room was very clean and the hotel enforced all the current covid measures including gloves at breakfast. Breakfast was OK, but get there before 9.45am as they will be clearing everything away by them.||There is a nice pool area, the pool was closed as it is out of season, the sunbeds were one position only and they would do better with adjustable ones. It was nice and quiet and hot enough to sunbathe, there may have been a sun terrace but the steps were chained off||The room has a safe, cost me 6 euros for the 4 nights a bargain compared to some places, although I believe all hotels should provide a digital free safe to save carrying a key out with you.||The bed was comfy and clean and I slept well, plenty blankets, air con too or temperature to adjust. The TV (small wall mounted) has one English station ( I couldn't care less, but some of you may have kids) and that was News Francais in English. No fridge which is a shame, plenty storage space for me nd would have been enough should two people be using the room. Toiletries provided, the bathroom has a hairdryer in there too, but I am bald so no idea how good it was. The shower was plenty powerful and good hot water||I believe the hotel caters mainly for the Spanish who think nothing of gathering and chatting in the restaurant at breakfast despite a queue behind them or if they are blocking access to the breakfast. There are 2 coffee, juice and toast stations but you may have to wait a while for the toaster, it seemed popular.||To get here I took the ALSA bus from Airport to Avenida Europa at 9.8 euros one way and it is a five minute walk. There are buses every hour I would expect there to be more than that in summer and the journey is approx 50 minutes. You can buy tickets I paid on the bus itself, departs from the 2nd floor far right of departures||Plenty small shops nearby and the beach and bars are a 5 minute walk.||On the front beware the potato men scamming you with the find the lady trick and their accomplices winning everytime to make it look easy (if you pick the right one they squeeze the potato and the pea sticks inside so when they lift it, it isn't there) and picking pockets or bags, the other scam is the friendship bracelet someone ties on your wrist then demands money and wont leave you till they have something from you, not seen this recently on my travels, the last time being Rome a few years ago||Room, clean, good size, comfy bed, safe, no fridge, balcony, TV||Staff, nice and friendly||Pool, nice clean area||Covid, taken very seriously||Cleaning, daily I think||Entertainment, there is a list of evens throughout the day pinned on the noticeboard||Breakfast, average, but mainly catering to continental and not the Brits||Populatiion in Hotel, mainly Spanish, think I was the only English person but please don't be put off, they were very friendly and always greeted me when passing||Value, at £35 per night it was excellent and I travel alone so for me that is a good price||Overall, great stay and would definitely use this Hotel when I next visit.||Thanks

A nice old fashioned Spanish hotel. Mostly older Spanish guests. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and quiet. Food is Spanish and of a good standard. Overall a pleasant stay. My only small issues were as follows …. Two lifts for a 10 floor 200 room hotel is inadequate. The hotel WiFi is very poor and requires attention. The wearing of gloves in the restaurant is not working. My gloves were on and off after every course. Sometimes inside out. So I do not think the gloves help and probably a bigger danger. Many Spanish people did not use the gloves and this was not enforced, so why bother. But as I say, I had a very pleasant stay and would like to thank all the staff.

We enjoyed our stay here, the location is great and had parking for our car. We only stayed for one night but found it very clean and the staff very good. The breakfast was good, we were on the 8th floor and found the lift busy at mealtimes. If I had to find a negative it was the rooms could do with modernising, we did not use the pool but it looked very nice.
