reina victoria

Memorable visit

On arrival, we were upgraded to a suite. The facilities were excellent and the view from the terrace amazing. Dinner was very good, preceded by our complimentary glass of cava. The reception staff were most helpful. On arrival, we were asked the language we would like them to use. We answered Spanish, but they kept slipping back into English, their abilty in English being greater than our ability in the language of the country in which we have recently chosen to live My only criticism is that the hotel system seems incapbale of recording my name correctly. For 72 years, I have tried to ignore my second Christian name. Your system insists on ignoring my surname and using the second Christian name that I dislike as my surname. I have the same problem with my Spanish bank, which has issued a credit card for my wife that ignores her Christian anme and her surname, but displays the names of her father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Despite that, we plan tro return to Reina Victoria for a short walking holiday.

Relaxing

Excellently located right on the edge of the Tajo with breathtaking views of the Sierra de Ronda. Nice bars and restaurants located a short walk away.

Wow! What a wonderful retreat!

This hotel is close enough to town, but still feels like it's in it's own world. Views are amazing, staff is a joy to interact with.

A superb hotel!

The Catalonia Reina Victoria Hotel in Ronda, Spain is one of the very best hotels that I have encountered during my many years of worldwide travel. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the hotel is modern, clean and has all the amenities that one would wish. It is located in a quieter part of Ronda, with a spectacular outdoor patio and view.

Excellent Ronda hotel

Excellent location stunning views across the gorge, beautiful sunsets as faces west.

Unforgettable stay

Staying here was the best decision we made. It’s slightly away from the hustle & bustle of the centre of town but we loved this. A 10 min walk up the hill from the Centre and you’ll find your own oasis of paradise. We sat and looked at the view for hours.....either from the swimming pool or having a beer on the terrace. The staff were great, breakfast was delicious and the room was modern with everything you need. Ronda is delightful but it’s busy and hot. This hotel is a great balance - it’s calm, restful and peaceful. It is a great base for a perfect stay.

Negative observations . . .

We return to Ronda and the Reina Victoria as often as we can. The staff are friendly and efficient, the accommodation most comfortable and the location stunning! The restaurant also serves a superb menu. The spa and therapies offered are a delight for the senses and the staff superb (Silvia ? - sorry, her name escapes me! even remembered me from my previous stay!) and the view from the outdoor pool hard to better (too cold to use at the time of our visit in October). If we could change anything - and these are observations, not reasons not to recommend the hotel nor return - it would be the following: The black leatherette pillows are slippery and not ideal for relaxing on the bed to read etc. However, we appreciate we are given more than one pillow to start off with! We feel the bathroom arrangement could be better organised and more private if sectioned off as a single, complete bathroom unit. We managed, but it is not the most convenient arrangement. We have stayed at the hotel before the refurbishment and alteration to this design. Whilst I like the decor of the restaurant dining room - and we appreciate you cannot please all of the people all of the time, my husband felt the colour and pattern combinations stark and "oppressive". Without changing the decor completely, (we do only eat there once or twice every 2 or 3 years!!,) my husband suggested the room would benefit at least, from the addition of appropriate pictures on the back wall to fill the blank spaces - and perhaps brighten the area, depending on the subject chosen. We offer these comments only as our observations and how our experience might be improved. Like I say, I quite liked the dining room decor, but can see how it might seem a little drab as opposed to classy. We shall continue to return to this hotel as time and money allow! Thank you.

Staying at the hotel

The room was fairly nice, although the sliding glass door didn’t work easily to get out to the balcony. The information at the front desk wasn’t very helpful, because I never knew exactly where anything was in the hotel. Sometimes, the staff seemed really uninterested in helping out. I’m used to carrying my luggage, but no one offered to help. It’s a lovely place with many comfortably arranged rooms, but it didn’t have an inviting quality to the people working there. I went into the spa, and no one greeted me, because the woman there was on the phone. She didn’t even look up when I walked in. A lot of attention has been paid to the physical surroundings. Maybe some staff support would be helpful. The cleaning staff were really nice, but their cleaning equipment was so omnipresent in the hallway.

Lovely hotel

RACHEL ANN SHILLABEER22-10-19

Excellent position, brilliant staff

The hotel is set in a fabulous position on the edge of the small town overlooking the gorge and valley below. The infinity pool is stunning. The reception staff were very helpful with our questions.

BRIAN WRIGHT14-10-19

Great, unique hotel

Really loved the hotel. Historic building and that has been renovated into a very modern boutique hotel. Combined with beautiful views from our room’s balcony and from bar and breakfast room, just a great place.

JOAN BETH BERKOWITZ14-10-19

As good as ever, a fine hotel

I have stayed at La Reina Victoria for work - I am an author and journalist, often for travel including for the Financial Times and The Times - for fun, with my fiancée and our dog, and with parents. The views, the atmosphere and the staff are all top notch and the prices very reasonable for one of Spain’s most beautiful landmarks.

Didn’t want to leave!

Lovely stay, didn’t want to leave. Car parking was easy and pool excellent. Breakfast was good, I loved the orange juice machine! Our room at the front of hotel felt a little cramped but had a useful balcony. Gardens were lovely. Hotel was 15mins walk from the bridge.

Lovely stay

This is a beautiful and relaxing hotel. The location and scenery were stunning. The pool area and spa were one of the best we've been too in terms of relaxation and peace. The whole place was spotless clean and the ladies who attended our room every day kept it lovely and they were kind and helpful. Breakfast which was included was generous and delicious. All of the different areas once could sit and relax were lovely. There was a great atmosphere in the hotel. There was something truly special about staying here. However it was quite expensive to stay here with our two children age 6 and 8 and perhaps couples travelling get better value. Eating in the restaurant was also pricey and the food and service were hit and miss. Some, not all, reception staff were quite sharp when we rang downstairs once or twice with basic requests. However overall we were very happy with our stay.

Great Hotel, Beautiful Grounds

We stayed two nights at this hotel and wished we had extended our reservation. The rooms are large, nicely appointed with a bonus of a large balcony. The grounds were spectacular offering great views of Ronda. We enjoyed the terrace for a drink or light lunch. The breakfast buffet offered many options and the fresh squeezed orange juice was a must each morning. The front desk staff were efficient, friendly and, in our case, provided a quick resolution to a transportation need. Our only negatives were that the bar service seemed understaffed and, while the balcony was great, we had to contend with smokers from above who dropped ash and cigarette butts on our balcony.

Beautiful hotel

Say we only booked one night at this gorgeous hotel. Next time...
