Right in the Heart of Ronda

We spent two nights as the Catalonia Ronda. A modern hotel in a historic setting. Julio on reception was very welcoming and professional in the check-in process. Our room was very well appointed and comfortable, with a special treat, overlooking the bull ring! The roof-top swimming pool is also a wonderful setting however places are limited so get there early! The bar balcony overlooks the bull ring and the sunset is spectacular so well worth seeing. Where the hotel does not meet expectations is that the restaurant is particularly claustrophobic, more of a breakfast set up rather than a fine dining experience. Also there is no communal area where you can sit down and have coffees/drinks, you have to go to the bar upstairs. Nevertheless we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. Ronda is a special place.

Nice hotel

The hotel was very nice and the staff were great and helpful. It was only a shame that COVID caused so much to be closed and so we struggled for a restaurant. We will stay at the hotel again when we return to Ronda!

Great Hotel

Fantastic stay, lovely room and Julio is an excellent Ambassador for the company. My husband and I had a great mini break, thank you.

Reg

One disappointment was the delivery truck that arrived at 6.30am and spent a long time unloading very noisily in the decarga area by plaza de toros

Very pleasant stay

- friendly and very helpful staff - comfy and spacious rooms (even the standard ones) - very well situated - parking, even if public and a couple hundred meters away, is safe which is great

A pleasant stay

The hotel is central in location. It is fairly new and very clean and well maintained. The décor is modern and well thought out. We were there at a time when Ronda was nearly empty of tourists and the pool was lovely with no one there but us. The small pool and the area surrounding it would have been inadequate had the hotel been full or nearly full. The hotel is on the road opposite the bull ring. We would have liked to leave the doors to the balcony open at night but it was quite noisy. All in all a very nice hotel with friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely hotel but flawed

The hotel is in a wonderful location just 50 yards across the road from Spain’s oldest bullring. But the service at the hotel was disappointing. A one hour massage lasted 40 minutes, when I asked whether we could have room service I was told: “It’s 4pm!” I think I was supposed to guess that meant no room service at 4pm!! There was also confusion over which lift went to which floor and anger aimed at us when we got stuck in the lift. There was no drinks service by the pool. But lovely town!

Nice refurb inside

first impressions are good, it was during a COVID-19 time so things a little different. The down the road parking isn't ideal, but OK. Inside hotel clean and fresh feeling. the pool /hot tub sad looking needs rust & repairs fixing and looking better. The surrounding are by pool OK. The breakfast (buffet) was not on due to C-19, so a little dissapointed that there was no real alternative, i.e. menu & was slow to come & not really worth the money for breakfast at this time. If I had thought ahead I would not book breakfast during C-19.

Junior Suite stay

It’s hard to give a full review in these times as the way of working for everyone is new. Giving current times everything was very good, check in was seemless, It would have been great to have service by the pool instead of having to go to the bar to find someone to serve me. And also having to use my door card for every door you go through the card also didn’t work in the lift and once the door closed it would not open or go anywhere I had to wait until someone came to the alarm to open it from outside, I was told then it was a staff lift but there was no sighs to say it was a staff only lift, I then wouldn’t use any lifts and walked down the stairs from the 3rd floor and had to leave through the exit door to the street at street level and re enter the hotel as my key card would not open any doors on the way down the exit stairs, other than this the hotel is modern, comfortable, room was amazing location perfect.
