Hotel Fuerte Grazalema

“Great hotel, especially for cyclists (locked bikes, tools, great dinner and breakfast)”

We stayed at this hotel as part of a bike tour. Not only do they provide a locked space fror the bikes, they also have a set of tools to do basic repairs. The rooms are basic, facing the village of Grazalema with small terraces and a drying rack, very useful for point to point cyclists. We ha… more

The rooms are basic, facing the village of Grazalema with small terraces and a drying rack, very useful for point to point cyclists. We had dinner there: it is a buffet with a very wide set of options, and freshly grilled meats and fish that you order. It takes a little while to get served, but the food is very good (I had a salad with 2 kinds of fish well cooked but not too much) Breakfast also has plenty of options. The staff is friendly and helpful

“Visiting & walking in Sierra de Grazalema”

All the staff here are brilliant: cheerful, friendly, helpful. Food is very good too, not expensive & plentiful. Only complaint is the endless shrieking of children who dominated the hotel, pool, restaurant & jacuzzi all weekend. Parents let young kids run riot until well after midnight. Very noisy… more

Only complaint is the endless shrieking of children who dominated the hotel, pool, restaurant & jacuzzi all weekend. Parents let young kids run riot until well after midnight. Very noisy but a different, calm place once they’d left. Otherwise comfortable & clean & quiet.

“Stunning location”

A beautiful relaxed hotel in a stunning countryside location with views of Grazalema. A chance to relax after city visits and possibly do some local hikes. Small improvements would be tap water provided free on tables and tea making in rooms.

“A Real Escape”

Absolutely stunning setting. The hotel, situated over various floors, looks down across the valley to the picturesque town of Grazelema, about a 10 minute drive. You are surrounded by towering mountains. Absolute peace and quiet. A real escape. The pool area was immaculate and has the added bonus of a Jacuzzi tub. Pool opened at 10am and both mornings all the guests were respectful of the rules. The bedrooms were comfortable, albeit a little small. AC, and a small balcony with good views. For environmental reasons the AC only works with the balcony door closed. A mini fridge and TV. We were comfortable but always like tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast buffet was included in the room rate, a good selection of breads and pastries (the butter was no where near by), lovely fruit but the hot selection was cooked to order. I understand this stops waste but too many people lining up for eggs and bacon etc. Hot drinks were from a machine, again many people waiting. If you like tea, bring your own t bags. We could get hot water from the machine but no fresh milk, not that I could find. Plenty of oat, almond, lactose free milk. Dinner buffet again was disappointing, lots of salads and other options but too many people in line waiting for fish or meat to be cooked. The second night we ordered from the bar menu which suited us better. All the staff we came across were super lovely, helpful and professional. This is a hotel we have wanted to stay at for many years, since I had a customer (back in my travel agent days) that I booked a weeks holiday and they raved about. We loved out stay and will certainly return. The location, staff and comfort outweighed the negative thoughts of the buffet.
