Matalascanas, Spain hotel rooms at the Independent

"Rafa,at the front desk was wonderful!"

"We arrived to find the front door locked and no one there. A key pad was beside the door. I had been sent a check in confirmation but it was in Spanish. This seemed to say that entry was to use the key pad numbers preceded by the room number....but we had no room number as we hadn't checked in! After many attempts we got the door to open. Next was to find a room. The reception was unattended and we had to search the hotel's paperwork to find that we expected and had been allocated rooms. We located keys and found our rooms - which were very nice and as expected. We saw no one until breakfast and when we checked out there was again no one there. In the end our stay was ok, but it was disconcerting to say the least."

"Lovely friendly knowledgeable staff, great restaurant recommendations, easy 10-15 min walk from bus station, only couple minutes from the beach. Comfortable room, lovely terrace and best of all a bath in Spain that fits a 6ft+ chap. My stay was very quiet, didn’t hear a sound. I think the fact is away from the main plaza may be off putting for some but I think mean quieter stay "

"Good overall view of hotel and would stay again. Only real criticism would be the bar as poor selection of drinks available"

"Close to the beach and night life "
