Location
Boutique Princesa enjoys an exceptional and strategic location in the heart of Marbella's historic center. Guests frequently highlight the hotel's proximity to key sites, including beautiful old town streets, vibrant bars and excellent restaurants, as well as its short walk to the beach and promenade. Despite being centrally situated, the area remains quiet and picturesque, adding to its charm. The accommodation is described as both cozy and clean with some rooms offering balconies and terraces, enhancing the overall comfort. Additionally, the warm and friendly welcome from staff, coupled with easy check-in/check-out processes, have been appreciated by many guests. The accessibility and convenience of being able to wander the city on foot and the availability of nearby public parking, further contribute to the hotel's appeal. All in all, the location of Boutique Princesa is repeatedly identified as one of its strongest assets, making it an ideal base for exploring and enjoying everything Marbella has to offer.

Rooms
Boutique Princesa occupies a charming spot in Marbella's old town, a convenient location with easy access to local attractions. While there are certain positive remarks about spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchens and helpful reception staff, overall feedback on the rooms suggests several areas needing significant improvement.

Many guests have commented on the relatively small size of the rooms and bathrooms, which can feel cramped and claustrophobic. Ventilation is a common issue with some rooms having no windows or only facing internal corridors, resulting in poor air circulation and a musty smell. Hygiene has been noted as inconsistent with reports of dirty floors, peeling wallpaper, mold and poorly maintained furniture.

Despite the appeal of certain rooms equipped with terraces, mini kitchens and flat-screen TVs, issues with fixtures such as broken blinds, loose toilet seats and malfunctioning air conditioning have also been highlighted. Noise insulation remains inadequate, as sounds from neighbors and the reception area frequently drift into guest rooms, leading to disturbed sleep.

Rooms with more natural light and better upkeep could enhance the guest experience at Boutique Princesa. Improvements in room cleanliness and maintenance, as well as addressing humidity and noise issues, could go a long way in elevating the overall stay for future visitors.

Beds
The beds at Boutique Princesa have garnered mixed feedback from guests. Many visitors praise the beds for being comfortable, noting the clean and modern rooms which add to their pleasant stay. Descriptions such as "very comfortable" and "comfy" appear frequently, highlighting a generally positive perception regarding the comfort of the beds. However, some reviews point out significant issues, mentioning mattresses that are excessively soft, sometimes described as feeling like a trampoline or an air mattress.

Guests also expressed concerns about the bedding, citing instances of thin sheets and dirty blankets, which detracted from their overall comfort. The pillows also received mixed reviews with some guests finding them low and lacking proper padding, contributing to a less ideal sleeping experience. There were several mentions of stained and unsuitable sheets, particularly for the summer season and bedding that was not sufficiently warm.

Overall, while the beds at Boutique Princesa often emerge as comfortable in many reviews, consistency seems to be lacking with a notable number of guests experiencing discomfort due to the condition and softness of the mattresses, along with cleanliness issues with the bedding. The contrasting opinions suggest variability in the maintenance and quality of the beds across different rooms.

Cleanliness
Boutique Princesa's cleanliness is a point of contention among its guests with reviews providing a mixed bag of experiences. While some praise the property for being very clean and tidy, noting clean facilities, clean bedding and regularly maintained rooms, these positives are sharply contrasted by more frequent reports of dust, dirt and significant maintenance issues.

A recurring theme in the feedback is the presence of a musty smell with many guests commenting on dampness and mold. Shared bathroom facilities and rooms have often been cited as not well-cleaned with specific complaints about hair, dirty floors and unclean surfaces, including moldy fridges and old, stained bed linens.

The cleaning frequency also seems to be inadequate for many guests with some pointing out that rooms aren't cleaned daily and cleanliness overall being described as subpar. Instances of neglected cleanliness were highlighted, including dirty shower trays, soiled towels and leftover items from previous guests.

Despite these issues, the warm and friendly staff, along with the hotel's central location, are often mentioned as redeeming factors. However, potential guests should be aware of the varying cleanliness standards when considering a stay at Boutique Princesa.

Staff
Guest reviews of Boutique Princesa predominantly highlight the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. The words "kind," "attentive," and "accommodating" appear frequently, demonstrating the staff's positive demeanor and willingness to assist guests. Tony and Jona receive specific commendation for their professionalism, warmth and prompt service. Efficient communication, particularly via WhatsApp, is noted with many guests mentioning easy check-ins facilitated by codes and good contact with the owner.

However, there are criticisms regarding the intermittent presence of reception staff. Some guests report issues with response times and an overall lack of physical staff presence, stating that assistance is mainly virtual. A few also mention unprofessional or unfriendly experiences with specific staff members. Despite these concerns, the majority opinion on staff interactions remains positive, emphasizing their courtesy and effectiveness in addressing needs.

Wi-Fi
Guests have had mixed experiences with the WiFi at Boutique Princesa. While there have been mentions of a very good WiFi connection from some visitors, others have faced significant challenges. Issues such as slow internet, router problems and unavailable WiFi were reported. Some guests found the WiFi adequate for basic browsing but encountered difficulties with more demanding tasks. A recurring problem seemed to be the WiFi password not working or not being provided at all. However, the registration process was noted as convenient with an easy key pickup and detailed instructions sent via email.

Beach
Boutique Princesa boasts an enviable location with numerous reviews highlighting its close proximity to the beach. Guests repeatedly emphasize how the hotel is just a few minutes away from the shoreline with some specifying it's about a 10-minute walk. This convenience allows easy access to the beautiful Venus Beach and places it right in the heart of the old town, making it ideal for those looking to explore both the beach and local attractions.

In addition to its stellar location, guests commend the hotel's superb rooms, noting features such as big bathrooms and spacious patios. Reviews also point out the convenience of free parking nearby, making it easier for those traveling by car. While there were occasional mentions of facilities not meeting expectations post-beach visit, the overwhelming sentiment remains positive regarding Boutique Princesa's proximity to everything one might need, from restaurants to the beach.

Family
Boutique Princesa appears to cater well to families, functioning as a family accommodation space. Guests frequently highlight the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff with remarks indicating consistently good treatment. Specific commendations include a notably kind and helpful receptionist named Jona. The rooms themselves are described as spacious and clean, contributing to a positive overall experience. However, there are no specific comments about activities designed for kids, suggesting this might not be a focal point of the hotel's offerings.
