Reviews for Mena Plaza

Review 1:The hotel is in a great location just a minutes walk from the Balcon . The staff are very friendly and helpful,rooms are spotless and the beds are super comfy.

Review 2:Did not have a bad experience but thought the hotel would have benefitted from having restaurant rather than a cafe

Review 3:Nice modern attractive building,ideally placed close to restaurants,bars and shops.Extremely good value place to stay.Iwill be returning there with friends soon.

Review 4:Just maybe tea and coffee making facility would add to the already excellent facilitys.

Review 5:Location was fantastic. All the staff were lovely always had a smile when you passed by, nothing was to ,much trouble, excellent at their job a great asset to the hotel. Rooms were lovely warm and comfy.Towels changed every day. 10 out of 10.

Review 6:Pool was a little small on the rooftop but the view from the roof top was anazing

Review 7:Exceptionally clean hotel, welcoming staff and the location was right in the centre of nerja, with a beautiful Cobh beach just minutes away. The food in hotel was very cheap and very nice. I would stay here again.

Review 8:Not much. If I had to nitpick, the only thing I would say is the bedspread had a hole repaired with contrasting thread color. Not a big deal.

Review 9:The staff were friendly, helpful, and most spoke English or were able to find someone who did. Roof top pool (unheated, cold in early November) nice option. Own parking space in a secure part of the municipal parking garage for Balcon de Europe. We parked in the municipal garage in order to check in. (0.80 euro). They will give you a garage door opener for the Mena Plaza section of the garage. Room balcony nice, facing plaza and east so pleasant morning sun. Lots of children in plaza during late afternoon which was pleasant. Usually quieted down by 7-8.

Review 10:The first nights stay was already charged to my credit card a month before we arrived! Not usual policy with booking.com.

Review 11:Friendly staff and great location.comfortable clean rooms.

Review 12:Tiny pool and not very kid friendly, no proper restaurant in hotel but plenty nearby. Poor breakfast.

Review 13:Lovely modern hotel, great location and value for money.

Review 14:Nothing not to like.

Review 15:The location was perfect! Staff excellent---friendly and could not do enough for their guests... Lovely rooftop pool with spectacular views Very clean property, throughout.. Nice café/bar on premises with good food!

Review 16:Bath Towels are small and not the softest but that is really nit picking and certainly didn't spoil our experience or put us off coming back

Review 17:Gorgeous hotel just off the main drag. Great staff, rooms and public areas very clean, breakfasts good.

Review 18:It can be a little noisy at times when people are returning late, the corridors tend to amplify the sound somewhat. This is more a problem with inconsiderate guests than an inherent problem with the hotel.

Review 19:The location is great, close to everything in Nerja, yet away from the crowds. The staff in Mena Plaza are fabulous, very friendly and always very helpful.

Review 20:The property is 1 minute walk away from the balcon de europe, with plenty of bars and restaurants in the area. The hotel is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Review 21:The staff was superb! Accomodation very clean, restaurant served good, basic food. All in all, a fabulous hotel and would definitely stay here again!

Review 22:We were not aware that on the week we stayed there was a local festival for five days. A marque was set up outside our hotel and concerts performed they started at midnight and the music was very loud. This was not something the hotel could control but if I had known I would not have stayed that week as the music did not stop until 2am. I was looking for a quiet holiday which I got once the festival ended. The staff were very apologetic but unable to stop the event as it was held by the local government in that location for the first time. Hopefully it will be held somewhere else next year.

Review 23:The staff were really friendly and helpful

Review 24:Nothing really bad, just the pool area very quiet and a sterile feel.

Review 25:The location is excellent for Nerja Centre, bars, shops and also close to a lovely small coved beach.

Review 26:There was a festival during our stay and the hotel failed to inform me of this, as a result there was significant noise up until 2am in the morning which meant we were unable to sleep and for 4 nights we had a very bad nights sleep. Being 5 months pregnant it took away the purpose of our break which was to relax

Review 27:Location, cafe

Review 28:There was quite a lot of noise in the corridors from other guests arriving back at 3am which you could hear.

Review 29:We had an excellent room on the top floor with great views. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was excellent.

Review 30:Nothing

Review 31:I loved the central location of the hotel, the staff were excellent, my room was very comfortable and clean and the breakfast choice was great. Would definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends and family.

Review 32:Not the easiest place to find! Also, located on a fairly new square and there isn't a lot else on the square.

Review 33:Excellent hotel, more like a 4 star than a two star. Staff were very helpful

Review 34:Hotel isn't signposted and was difficult to find when travelling by car.

Review 35:Well located for town centre restaurants and sea front. Fairly quiet location. Room was a fair size, clean and tidy, and regularly serviced.

Review 36:Although the room was clean and comfortable it was a little cramped. Plenty wardrobe space but no drawers.

Review 37:Very central, close to all amenities including the bus station which was a 10-15 minute walk.

Review 38:We stayed for 7 nights and our bed linen wasn't changed for the duration of our stay. Also the area behind the room door in front of the wardrobe was not swept some days.

Review 39:The location of the hotel and the friendly staff.We were always acknowledge at reception and the young lady at breakfast was so pleasant every morning.

Review 40:Very difficult to find when arriving by car. Rooms too hot.. AC could not be turned cooler than 23. If Balcony doors opened, AC turned off. Maids left balcony doors open every day so room was Like an oven when we returned...we couldn't turn AC on an go on balcony to wait for cool down because there was no way to open from outside

Review 41:No mirrors in the bedrooms! Could do with a decent full length mirror. Apartment was not cleaned during our 7 night stay.

Review 42:Reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious. Bright and airy. Great balcony. Pleasant views. Well equipped. Air conditioning was super.

Review 43:We booked a family room in September, price was expensive and not according to what we paid for. Cleanliness was also an issue (for ex. hair on bathroom floor). Plenty of nice looking and well located hotels in Nerja, will try another one at our next visit.

Review 44:Good location, nice pool and views. Breakfast was tasty and plenty of options. The receptionist at the front desk was very kind.

Review 45:This was the 4th hotel we stayed at during our 3 week trip to Spain so are comparing the standard to the other hotels we stayed - would have liked that the sheets were changed once (we stayed there for a week, using the same bedding), also towels were not always changed, although we placed them in the shower (as advised). Having said that, I am looking for faults, as we do love this hotel.

Review 46:Having stayed at this hotel before, we love the location and the helpful staff

Review 47:No English speaking channels on TV but with free wifi not a problem.

Review 48:Location, Near to main area of town yet quiet. Rooftop pool great views with a short swim. Staff friendly and helpful. Free Wifi

Review 49:Beds were very comfortable but the mattresses seemed to be covered in noisy plastic covers and I woke up every time my partner moved - not great for light sleepers. Wifi signal was next to useless in the apartment so had to sit in the hotel foyer to get enough signal.

Review 50:We stayed in a lovely spacious two bedroom apartment, clean and tastefully decorated with lots of modern conveniences. Plenty of hot water and less than a 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. Away from main road so overall very quiet and relaxing.

Review 51:tea/coffee making facilities in room would be a bonus. Room was basic but this is reflected in the price.

Review 52:Excellent customer service from reception and snack bar. Location is great. Roof top pool is also great.

Review 53:On arrival from airport we walked into the foyer of hotel and could just smell clean, the hotel was spotless, that was a very good start. The staff were excellent, very helpful and always smiling. The rooms were cleaned every day with towels changed daily. Pool area was very quiet and relaxing. Mena Plaza was so near to the Balcon de Europe but still on a lovely quiet plaza so no noise at night time. Overall I thought this hotel was just fabulous for being right in the centre of Nerja. I would definitely stay there again.

Review 54:The only thing I didn't like was the was no tea making facilities as I like a cup of tea before I go to bed & first thing in the morning

Review 55:I found the the food lovely

Review 56:Great hotel in the perfect location in Nerja. We were able to get around with ease-- could be at the beach or restaurants in a matter of minutes. The family room we had was very large and had two bathrooms which was great. Loved the pool on the roof-- used it every day. Staff were great and took the time to explain and help us with anything we needed.

Review 57:We loved this very spacious and very clean 2 bed apartment, mattresses very comfy ,air condition brilliant ,location excellent! The interior was really beautifully decorated ,also lots of kitchenware if like to self cater,I highly recommend this apartment to any family or couple!!

Review 58:This hotel was a great find for us. The location is excellent, staff are very friendly and helpful and bar/cafe was a lovely place to eat or have a drink in day or night. The pool is small but never too busy so very adequate. We had a family room which was like an apartment...two bedrooms,two bathrooms, large balcony and spacious entrance area...plenty of room for us and our 16 and 17 year old teenagers.

Review 59:The view from the room wasn't great but the only time we where really in it was while ether sleeping or getting ready. But the view from the pool more than made up for this

Review 60:The roof top pool was amazing. The 360 degree view of nerja and the mountains was really beautiful. Location was perfect only 2 minute walk to the main area .

Review 61:Apartment could have done with more kitchen crockery.

Review 62:We had one of the apartments. Fantastic location within a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Nerja. Very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle. Friendly staff.

Review 63:A lot of reviews were concerned about the noise in the bedrooms/corridors but it wasn't that bad. So if you're not a light sleeper the hotel is just super. If you are a very light sleeper you may have to rethink. However it really wasn't bad at all

Review 64:THe pillows were a little flat, but hotel provided two extra ones the next day. Be careful not to close the balcony door when outside as it locks behind you!! luckily we had friends staying nearby to rescue us :)

Review 65:HOtel was really clean, rooftop pool and area clean and spacious-plenty of beds to lie out. Room was clean and modern with great aircon, staff were very helpful and friendly-we asked for extra pillows and helped with bus transfers.

Review 66:The hotel is in a dead square. Lots of the other units are derelict which is a real shame as this would add to the atmosphere. The room was fine but noise travelled very easily between rooms and along corridors.

Review 67:Central location only a couple of minutes walk from the Balcon de Europa. Very friendly staff. Rooftop pool is a good feature though we did not use it.

Review 68:Found the staff a little too pedantic on occasion. e.g.. would not allow access to room until the car had been parked in the underground car park The car only required one of us to drive it!

Review 69:Good value, well located hotel.

Review 70:I have nothing bad to say about this lovely hotel.

Review 71:Our room was spotless,the staff were very welcoming and friendly and it was a 2 minute walk from many restaurants and shops.Although it is close to all the hustle and bustle you are unable to hear it from the hotel. We were in Nerja for a wedding and the church was literally 1 minute away. Would definitely return :D

Review 72:The hotel only has 1 iron to use, so would recommend taking a travel iron as it's not always available to use.

Review 73:Lovely friendly hotel, great location with a small cafe/bar attached that serves breakfast, pizza, burgers etc. Very clean, although basic we would definitely use it again if returning to Nerja.

Review 74:Brilliant place to stay in nerja! A 30 second walk to the main squarewith all the bars and restaurants you could imagine! Mena plaza staffwere incredibly friendly and hospitable, and the bar staff (didnt manageto get any names unfortunately) were second to none! Will be visitingagain for sure :)

Review 75:Beds a tad uncomfortable and the kitchen lacked utensils. Apart from that everything was first class and would definitely return.

Review 76:Friendly staff and the hotel was spotless. Great location and worth every penny.

Review 77:We were disappointed that the apartment was never cleaned during our weeks stay. For example bins were not empty or sheets were not changed at all.

Review 78:The staff were very friendly and courteous at all times.

Review 79:i didn't have my phone,and when i asked reception could i use their phone to ring my husband who i couldn't find in the square,they said it wasn't possible.so i had to go up in elevator to my room and try to ring him which i couldn't because i grid 4 times and a spanish voice just coming on.I would have been happy to pay for the call in reception,so it would have been nice to be allowed.

Review 80:The location was fabulous

Review 81:Breakfast was not hot - cold fried eggs,sausages and bacon. Small cold plates didn't help. Resorted to having cold meats and cheese because of this.

Review 82:Location perfect. Everything on your doorstep. Friendly efficient staff - Melanie and Anna on reception. Melanie in particular helped us with our requests always with a smile.

Review 83:Nothing!

Review 84:Great location close to the centre of Nerja, but still very quiet even in high season. Superb staff, all very friendly and helpful, from those on reception to cleaning staff. Will definitely stay again next time we visit Nerja.

Review 85:Towels were a bit thin and scratchy!

Review 86:Location- very central Pooland roof terrace- always immaculate Relaxing bar area- quiet considering central location.

Review 87:The pool was filthy. The rate we paid was not explained properly. We were charge €9 per day but no one informed us there was a parking charge until we checked out and then they refused to waive it. Found staff generally unhelpful and customer service was very low standard.

Review 88:The apartment we stayed in was spacious.

Review 89:Can't pick any fault and will definaty stay here agai.

Review 90:Loved this hotel . Spotlessly clean, lovely rooftop terrace and pool which was never too busy , spacious clean rooms and a great cafe/bar downstairs. All staff throughout the hotel were very friendly and helpful and the location was ideal , 50 yards from the main square but nice and quiet at the same time

Review 91:The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful, when we had to change our booking the hotel couldn't have been more accommodating, great stay.

Review 92:The breakfast area. Basement location did not appeal to us.Would like an outdoor area for breakfast!

Review 93:It is obviously well run, bright, clean and modern. Brilliant location and meets all requirements. Staff really helpful and friendly.

Review 94:Loved everything. Had breakfast at the cafeteria downstairs each morn as breakfast wasn't included in our booking,and it was lovely and frat value. We were only minutes from the Balcon. And the beach a few minutes further. The choice of restaurants in Nerja is amazing. Our favourite was Scarlettas, where we dined on the roof terrace. Will definitely go back.

Review 95:Great location & facilities including the pool. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel is very modern and spotless. I look forward to staying at the Mena Plaza again. Highly recommended!

Review 96:Friend was in 211 which had no balcony go sit in.

Review 97:friendly efficient staff who made you feel welcome and special right from word go. Spacious rooms and good sized balcony (depending on room no.)

Review 98:Excellent location, relaxing but only few minutes from Balcon de Europa. Friendly, helpful staff, always smiling. Safe environment with lots of nearby shops and restaurants.

Review 99:No Coffee or Tea Making facilities in Room. Air con minimum set to 23 Centrigrade (cannot lower)?

Review 100:Roof top Pool - Fab Hotel tucked away behind the warren of narrow streets with numerous bars, shops and restaraunts.

Review 101:Me and my partner didn't get a double as requested on our booking form, we has to sleep in seperate beds.

Review 102:Location fantastic Staff friendly and helpful Modern and clean Efficient cleaning staff

Review 103:Could have done with tea/coffee making facilities in the room

Review 104:Clean, fresh & comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Location was very good.

Review 105:I thought it was very noisy in the street below. There wasn't a lot of foot traffic but maybe s private party or restaurant. Then after midnight sounded like delivery carts or something scraping along sidewalk. I thought the continental breakfast was bad. Tasted like powdered OJ and bread which came from s wrapper. If you want pastry and juice coffee walk to town.

Review 106:Good location. Parking convenient but cost 12 euros per day. Room was very clean with no frills which is fine for me.

Review 107:Receptionist was really helpful and friendly. I requested to change room and the way it was dealt with was with ease and no stress. Very professional.

Review 108:From the point of booking, Mena Plaza was brilliant. I messed up on the dates, but a quick call meant I could change it at no extra cost. The hotel was perfect for us in all aspects. The room was clean and modern with comfy beds, a handy fridge and a great bathroom (very powerful shower). The breakfast was varied and tasty - just what you need to set you up for the day. And served later at weekends! The staff even arranged a special breakfast when we had to leave early on our last day. And the rooftop pool! Amazing! A nice size and with stunning views. Location wise, you couldn't be in a better place. Just a stone's throw to the Balcon de Europa and lots of nice bars and restaurants. Highly recommend Oliva, a fab restaurant across from the hotel. All in all, you can't go wrong at Mena Plaza. Great value. Don't be put off by the two stars - it deserves more for sure! I'll definitely return to Nerja and choose the Mena Plaza again.

Review 120:The mattress protectors made us sweat and feel uncomfortably hot.

Review 121:The helpful staff. the ambience of the hotel, the comprehensive breakfast which varied slightly from day to day. The location couldn't be better, the parking is secure and cool! We had to return home earlier than planned and the hotel and Booking.com made it so easy to cancel 2 nights stay.
