Hotel El Pilar Andalucia

This elegant and traditional decor hotel is in an excellent location just a short walk to the beach and plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. The setting in the Plaza de Flores is lovely and the hotel restaurant has outside space into the square so a very nice place to eat and drink and watch the world go by. Our room was comfortable and clean with a spacious and modern bathroom. A decent size safe is also provided which takes iPads comfortably unlike in some hotels. Overall the hotel has a comfortable relaxed but understated atmosphere, a peaceful and elegant haven. What makes this hotel a cut above the rest though is the staff, who are truly excellent, in particular in reception. We were greeted at checkin with a glass of cava and a nice personal touch, much appreciated. Nothing seems too much trouble and the staff give off a vibe of excellent service in an unobtrusive way. We ate in the hotel’s Casafina and Makako restaurants and in both cases we had excellent food. Casafina is more Spanish and Makako is Japanese fusion which seems very popular and is best to book. The rooftop bar is lovely for a cocktail with a view. We were sorry to leave but will certainly be back.

Really beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of old town Estepona. Located in a very pretty square where you can sit out for any meal and enjoy the comings and goings. Stunning views from the rooftop bar and restaurant. Lourdes and her fabulous team including Sandra and Celia couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. All of the staff at this hotel are exceptionally helpful and friendly. It’s not often you come across somewhere so delightful and uplifting. The whole place has a serene and peaceful aura, the rooms are spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfortable which is so important. We cannot fault Hotel El Pilar. We will recommend it without any doubt to friends and will definitely visit again… hopefully many times!! Thank you to all the staff - you made our stay extremely memorable 💛

Our room was fantastic, we were made very welcome as soon as as we arrived , we were met by William who took our luggage ., then we were checked in at reception, all staff from reception to the restaurant and roof top bar staff were exceptionally. Anne at the Sarah also he were always happy to help Reception staff Anne Lourdes and William were a fab team , everyone couldn’t do enough to make our stay complete. Thank you all .

High quality upmarket experience. The accommodation itself could not have a better location, being situated on Plaza de las Flores, Estepona. The room we had overlooked the beautiful square itself and had a 'Juliet' balcony. The staff were friendly, helpful, efficient and were eager to assist, whatever the request. The food and drink 'offer' at the hotel was superb, and was provided through a range of bars/restaurants including a wine bar, a bistro, a breakfast room, an Asian/Fusion restaurant, a rooftop bar, a breakfast room and a pub. The quality of the food and drink was very high. The ambience of the hotel was also positively influenced by the standard of the materials used in the building itself, as well in the furnishings, fittings and sympathetic colour-schemes used.

Great location in the centre of the town. The staff were exceedingly helpful and friendly. The roof top bar was excellent although busy so you need to be either early or late in the evening to get a seat. Sadly the best restaurant in the hotel was fully booked at the time of our stay.
