Hotel Convento la Magdalena By Checkin

Fantastic luxury castle with good facilities like restaurant, swimming pool and gardens. The restaurant had good food and the view to outside was verry nice. Located in a quiet environment with a lot of nature and a golf resort. Breakfast served with attention for quality. Friendly staff. We were lucky to get an upgrade to a suite, this was a big and nice suite. Almost everything was perfect, except some possibilities to have a drink with a small bite in the bar.

We booked another hotel from same chain in Antequera and were transferred to this place due to covid. It’s 15 minutes drive outside of Antequera, but totally worth it. It’s a very quiet, isolated, beautiful place, surrounded by mountains and with its own long history. We loved exploring buildings in the evening, it was like traveling into the past or visiting a museum. Classic music is playing everywhere and it gives even more relaxing feeling to it. Breakfast was good. Even though spa was closed we had great time in the pool and jacuzzi. Room on the ground floor have access to gardens where you can find fruits and vegetables growing. It was a pleasant change and we would definitely recommend it.

Lovely hotel “in the middle of nowhere” as one might say as it is located in the old convent building. If not for the road signs I would have turned around thinking I am lost in the mountains… No idea why the hotel is ranked 5*… Rooms are big but have no robes and even when I asked for one at the reception I was told I could not get any as I am not staying in their junior-suite. They do have a spa but it is very small and very outdated. The sauna looked so bad that I had to put a towel in the bench. It then got so duty that I had to look for a spare towel but unfortunately they only proved you with one towel per day… Our room (#205) had a terrible canalization smell in it. I could actually only sleep with the toilet door shut and the windows wide open… Breakfast was good though and the lady that serves is it charming and inviting. All in all would probably be decent for just an overnight stay but not for the price they charge. We paid €522 for 3 nights for two people (rate with breakfast) Btw we also had dinner there as the hotel is so far from the town you do not dance to go anywhere. Food was beautifully presented but really mediocre tasting to say the least and the service extremely slow… I am not coming back for sure!
