Vesci Faventia ★★★

"Somewhere in the middle of nowhere between Granada and Malaga, I chose this ☆☆☆ hotel for price reasons. The hotel met my expectations with one caveat. I received a friendly welcome late in the evening, although the lady at reception didn't really understand the booking system. There was also a can of beer for the thirsty guest. The breakfast was praiseworthy, lovingly prepared for only €8. The beautiful veranda with seating will probably only reveal its charm in the spring. There are free parking spaces on the main road. Now for the caveat: the room smelled really bad. So much so that I got a headache. Even leaving the window open all night at 1°C didn't help. The hotel urgently needs to do something about this."

Hotel Abades Manzanil ★★★

Hotel El Mirador ★★★★

"Used this hotel as a base for property hunting near Montefrio and surrounding area. For £65 a night including breakfast, this was an exceptional hotel for the price. I have stayed in many similar hotels for a lot more money. Staff were great, very helpful considering we spoke no Spanish and some of the staff spoke no English. The rooms were very modern and the beds comfortable. The location has fantastic views over Loja and is close enough to the motorway to make this a great stop between Granada and Malaga. Prices in the bar for food and drinks were very reasonable, we paid €42 for 3 meals and a round of drinks. The terrace in the Summer would be fantastic to chill out and enjoy the views. Loja is a small spanish town, so it is not reasonable to believe there will be lots of choice for restaurants and bars. Out of season it is quiet, ideal for relaxing. We tried the Spa facilities for €18 each and again the facilities were exceptional for the price. I would highly recommend this hotel for a few nights stop over, providing you have a car."

Hotel Abades Loja ★★★

"Great price, clean, big room, comfy bed, hot water, free parking, friendly staff and close to restaurant"

Hotel Rural Llano Piña ★★

"We stayed her for one night and appeared to be the only guests. Staff did not speak English but this allowed us to practice or basic Spanish. Room was large but simply designed. There is a large pool out back but we did not use it. Restaurant and adjacent bar are also part of the complex. Hotel was in a quiet location just outside of Loja and would be nice to stay for a few days. Recommended!"
