Hotel El Mirador

Very good solution . Excellent hotel

This is a good transitionary hotel as you move from one location in Andalucia to another. The area is in the countryside and the town itself seemed to be limited in selection of restaurants. Great view from the outside patio overlooking the town It is also quite hilly so a challenge for some people to walk. We stayed here as part of a New Year Travel Dept holiday. Hotel is modern, clean with friendly staff for the most part. Buffet Breakfast is exceptional poor, with very limited choice and not replenished. Maybe that was because we were in a package group Breakfast staff waiter was less than friendly. Bar food had a good choice for light lunch and bar staff were very friendly and helpful. Reception and house keeping were lovely. New Year Banquet was great and disco/bar afterwards was good fun. Would I stay here again? Only for a night passing through.

This hotel is absolutely fabulous. The location is great for visiting Saville, Granada and Cordoba. The rooms are great and a great view of Loja village. Great if you have a car as public transport is not the best here. But its so central that you can use it as a base to see Southern Spain.

very average hotel. breakfast choice very poor. sorry we would not stay again. location is quite remote. staff were quite rude. to far from city centre. poor choice at breakfast shower did not work bar swimming pool was closed

Stayed at this hotel on a Travel Department "Highlights of Andalucia" Tour. Would recommend they seek somewhere else as there are significant issues especially with the food. The offerings gave the impression that the hotel was working on a low budget, the food was of a poor quality and limited choice. Once it was gone, it was gone! There was little evidence of food being replenished and some of the dishes were inedible: a stringy beef stew one evening and a revolting pumpkin soup another. Very, very disappointing, the worst food I have tasted on a Travel Department tour. Surly woman on reception who rarely smiled; a real shame as the hotel itself is spotless and comfortable. Too remote, would suggest Travel Department look at alternative locations in future.

A beautiful modern hotel with comfortable beds, spacious rooms and a fabulous terrace to sit out on in the summer evenings. I can't comment on the food as we were part of a visiting coach party and we didn't experience the a la carte menu.

Apparently this hotel has a Michelin chef, we didn’t see this reflected in the food prepared for our group. It was tasteless and boring. Nobody pairs chips with a grisly beef stew that could have done with another 12 hours slow cooking. Turkey curry, another unusual dish paired with bland rice garnished with currants. The fish was overdone and sinewy and tough. What a waste of produce. No variety in breads either. Choice of desert was yoghurt which the rest of the world eat for breakfast. Fruit which eventually appeared on our second night after we asked for it and an unidentifiable soft pudding which many mistook for an omelette. The buffet tray is set out wrong, it ought to flow from right to left as most people are right handed. There was no solid evidence of someone checking and replenishing empty dishes on the pass. Training is an issue. One good waiter is worth ten bad ones. There was an unbelievable incident in the dining room at breakfast time. I witnessed the whole thing. A lady buttered a roll wrapped it in a tissue and was about to leave the room. One of the waitresses, long hair in a plait spoke to her very loudly in a language that the lady didn’t understand. Totally overacted in quite an aggressive way. The lady was embarrassed and so was I. And by the way Management, there was no notice in the dining area stating that FOOD WAS NOT TO LEAVE THE DINING ROOM. This hotel is in the middle of nowhere and you need transport. There is no shuttle bus to the town. There is no pool. There are no loungers to sit out and relax Reception/ Management take heed of this one. I went down to collect my passport to find that it wasn’t there. It had been handed out to another woman. I would strongly advise that you appoint a responsible person for this job. Match the signature and photo in the passport. Rooms super clean, bed comfortable, if walk in shower, some had baths. The kitchen and dining area let the hotel down.

Amazing hotel, great room with lots of space and GREAT view of the area. The bar served great food and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. All around great surprise of a hotel. Spa and pool are not yet open. Gated parking for a fee. Will stay again, for sure. Also, Loja is a very charming town.

Myself and my wife were in Loja for a few days in March and we stayed at this hotel. It is certainly worth its 4 stars. The hotel is just great, food is good and the scenery is just magnificent. It overlooks the small town of Loja which is great to explore. I would definitely return here.
