I booked a 10-night stay at Tent Torremolinos (July 10–20), but I couldn’t last more than 2 nights. The experience was so bad that I had to fight with the staff to get a refund. Do NOT trust the reviews or the photos — they are completely misleading. This hotel cuts corners on EVERYTHING.
The walls are paper-thin. You’ll hear people talking from the rooms beside, above, and below you. The doors are flimsy, and every time someone opens a door nearby, your own door shakes or slams from the draft. It’s impossible to rest.
The WORST part: the air conditioning. They’ve locked the minimum temperature at 26°C — in the MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER, in southern Spain. The room was constantly hot, humid, and unbearable to sleep in.
There are only TWO ELEVATORS, for a 11 floor building with over 300 rooms, both old and sketchy. One barely fits one person, and you’ll wait at least 10 minutes every time you need to use it.
Staff seemed stressed and overwhelmed. Avoid PEPE at all costs — he made check-out unnecessarily complicated, blatantly lied about not receiving an Expedia email (I was CC’d, so I know he got it), and was rude throughout the process.
There’s no parking anywhere nearby, and frankly, Torremolinos is not car-friendly at all. One night, we spent 45 minutes driving around just to find a spot.
The only decent thing was the breakfast, but honestly, you can eat just as well (if not better) for a few euros at the cafés around.
Bottom line: staying at this hotel is *literally lik
