    This review only refers to their 65m² large top floor flat, but if the theme I am describing here is anything to go by, then I doubt you will be better off with their other offerings. Great location, with amazing views over the gorge of el Puente Nuevo from the terrace. That's it! There are no other redeeming features! The terrace is very exposed and in serious need of some shade. The apartment itself is shabby and dingy with a tiny lounge, uncomfortable seating, and ugly, outdated furniture. It is let down by a complete lack of any loving attention to detail! There are 6 sleeping places in 3 bedrooms, a triple, double, and a single. Only the triple bedroom, which is next to the lounge, has views onto the bridge. The double bedroom overlooks a lightwell with a washing machine, and so does the dark dining area. The single bedroom faces the quiet street at the back. The layout is long and narrow. The best indicator of how little the host cares about their guests is the neglected lighting with hodgepodge lightbulbs, most of them blown out. If you stay with others, it becomes quickly overcrowded and even more expensive! I couldn't wait to leave and do not recommend booking here!

    We arrived around 8pm and waited for 20 minutes for check-in. The view from this room was very nice. However, the faucet in the bathroom was broke, and the sink table felt like it would fall off accidentally. One of the bathroom doors was missing so water splashed all over the floor while showering. There was no power for the two air conditioners.

    Be aware that there are several rooms downstaird with common livingroom, kitchen and bathroom, and they are not looking good at all!! Instead, the apartment on ground floor is very roomy and confortable. It has one big living with kitchen, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a great balcony! We enjoyed it. At first, we booked one room downstairs, because we did’t pay attencion to details, so we didn’t know that the living and bathroom were common. Also when we have seen the room, we have asked for cancellation of the booking. They told us that there is this apartment above so when we have seen it, we tought is it nice and agreed to pay 50€ instead of 37€ to stay comfortable. The view is perfect

    The hostel is perfectly located: right in the city centre with a wonderful view on the “Puente Nuevo”, the most famous sight of Ronda. No matter which room you get – there are decks and big windows on every level of the house. You are able to walk through the entire city from Casa Duende del Tajo. In less than 3 minutes walking distance you get to every kind of shops, pharmacies, restaurants/bars/cafés and all different sights of Ronda. The hostel is run by a small family which is probably why you will feel very welcome straight away. They are always there for you and very friendly, if you have any problems you just contact them. Besides you get a lot of time by yourself because there are not many rooms that share one area. Bathroom, kitchen and rooms are clean and looked after each day. I can only recommend this hostel, waking up with that view every morning is making your holiday unique!!!

    This is of course a cheap accommodation so bathroom and kitchen is shared between all inhabitants on the first and second floor. However, the owner has been lovely to communicate with, and the views are probably one of the best in the city. Aside from the furniture in our room being a bit bare and ugly, the whole place is immaculately clean thanks to the owner's hard work and there's even a washer.

    Best views in all Ronda. The terraces with view on the bridge are fantastic. Christina was very helpful and helped a lot for parking. Will definitely come back

    My advice is do not stay here We had booked a private apartment but were given a room with shared facilities. It was very cold, dark and damp. Lots of things were broken and generally in poor condition - an upgrade is seriously needed. Now they are refusing to issue a refund despite not delivering what we paid for, and we left 20 minutes after check in. Stay elsewhere, there are much nicer apartments in Ronda with better customer service.

    The view over the bridge (Puente Nuevo) and the gorge (Tajo de Ronda) is fantastic and there is a terrace to enjoy it (photos). Good location in relation to the main places to visit, underground paid parking nearby (Plaza del Socorro) Shared bathroom, kitchen area and lounge. To improve: The extremely soft mattress (photo), which did not allow for a peaceful night's rest after a day of walking around the city, as well as the inoperative air conditioning system.

    We had an amazing time. The views are beyond spectacular. The owner is lovely and helpful although she speaks very little English - she was kind enough to help with our laundry. The room was warm and cozy despite the cold as the air units in the room allow you to control the temperature. The shared bathroom can get messy if other guests do not respect cleanliness, but it did not take away from our overall fantastic experience. Highly recommend.

    Amazing hotel. Awesome view. You gotta definetly take this spot for a night!!!!!!!!! You can have beautiful view of Nuevo bridge whole night! It is the best romantic place for couples. I drank a local wine bought in liquor store on the street of Ronda while I was watching the Nuevo. It was pretty amazing. You can see the people on the other side of hotel trying to take the picture of the Nuevo. But if you choose this hotel for your night, you can just take a seat on the balcony and enjoy the view with nice wine with your gorgeous partner. There are two floor for this hotel. If you take the upstairs just like I did, you can use whole apartment with two rooms, a big living room, and a huge bathroom. Of course it is gonna be more expensive than down stairs, but it is worth it. Trust me.

    Simple hotel but THOSE VIEWS. Highly recommend. The balcony is a great place to enjoy some wine and admire the incredible view. The shared bathroom was clean, the kitchen not so much.

    I'd say that rooms are not really "wonderful", but you'll definitely choose this place because of the terrace with gorgeous view (photos attached).

    Wonderful position, amazing views, really low price, but really difficult and poor communication with the host and also the ambient wasn't so good. It depends on what you are looking for in your holiday.

    I arrived on Christmas Eve with my partener. Very cold inside and everything old! Only in the bedroom you can heat with an air conditioner that made noise all night, there is also an air heater but it is not silent so you can leave it on. A very grumpy host who kept repeating to us: "You know that today is a special day, she probably forgot to inform us that he wants to go home early". He yelled on the phone to come faster because he doesn't care where we park, he just wanted to give us the key and that's it, it's a special day. We knew that we are gone arrived on Christmas Eve, the host never answered to us on booking, even if we send the arrival hour. I booked a studio on booking, but when I arrived I discovered that it was a bedroom that was entered from another room, from a hallway you enter the bathroom and further into the kitchen. from the same hall, you can enter 2 other rooms (luckily there were no guests there as we would have had to share the bathroom and the kitchen). The bath towels were awaful and did not look clean either. There was no longer a door to the shower cabine. In the kitchen there was a very dirty towel, there were no napkins, salt, pepper, oil, all the dishes were very old and dirty, there was no dishwasher. Without a sponge for washing dishes, there was detergent hidden in a cupboard behind a basket. In the bedroom, there is only one long pillow, the bed is really uncomfortable. You can see through the old sheets, there is no special sheet for the pilow just a simple one and a stack of sheets in a closet, I don't know how clean they were. The smell everywhere was of old objects. The bedroom door locks automatically when you go to the bathroom, if you leave your keys and phone in the bedroom you are locked out. The sofa was dirty and very old, untidy, you can see it in the picture how it looks, without us sitting on it, not how you expect to be. An outdated location, it's just a business that doesn't offer support and doesn't even remotely advertise online. On booking they say that there is almost a parking lot for 10 euros per day, lies, it is a private parking lot for 14 euros. Not recommended, I slept in the cold. Just for a view and nothing more, It's not worth it at all.
