10/10. The best hotel I stayed at during the family trip we took through Andalusia. The location was the best in Ronda: right in front of the bullring and on the corner of the city’s main street, where the best restaurants are located. The hotel is also just a few meters from the famous Puente Nuevo, which gives access to the historic part of the city. The room was spacious and extremely comfortable. The blackout curtains guaranteed a wonderful night’s sleep. The shower was excellent (although the bathroom having a glass door was… a somewhat questionable design choice). There were two TVs with perfect-quality streaming service available. The internet also worked very well. The breakfast restaurant was a spectacle on its own: the view overlooking the bullring is sensational, and there were several gluten-free bread options available. The only minor issue is the parking lot, which is about 200 meters away, but the hotel offers valet service for guests with physical limitations. I stayed only two nights, and it honestly felt like too little time… this place deserved more.

The location was superb overlooking the bullring close to the bridge, many shops and eateries. We had a wonderful welcome from Ismael at reception who helped us get our car parked and provided recommendations for restaurants and things to do which was so helpful. The room was nicely presented and very clean.We had dinner and drinks on the rooftop one evening which was a great experience. The breakfast was very good too.

We had a fantastic stay at Catalonia Ronda. The hotel is in a perfect location, directly opposite the historic bullring, with the church and old town just a short walk away. The rooftop terrace is superb—having a drink there in the evening while looking over the illuminated bullring is a real highlight. In fact, the view is so good you could arguably skip paying to go inside the bullring and still appreciate one of Ronda’s most iconic landmarks. Our suite was spacious, comfortable and excellent value for money. The rooftop bar is a wonderful place to relax after a day exploring, and the restaurant served excellent food with great service. Every member of staff we met was friendly, professional and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. We also made good use of the compact but well-equipped gym, which had everything needed for a holiday workout. Ronda itself is beautiful, with plenty of excellent restaurants and charming side streets to explore. Make sure you visit the church at the top of the old town and take time to wander away from the main tourist routes—you’ll find some fantastic places to eat and drink. For us, two days was the perfect amount of time to experience everything without feeling rushed. A superb hotel in one of Spain’s most beautiful towns. We’d happily stay here again.

Wow!. What a lovely hotel with great staff and wonderful views & amenities. We stayed here with some friends and I am truly impressed with the hotel and personally I would rate it as a 5* hotel. The amenities including the rooftop pool plus the bar & restaurant is a joy. The views from the pool & bar area is stunning with views of the bullring. The staff here are truly exceptional and go over and above to help you and they helped me when I left luggage at the hotel by error (my mistake!). I would truly recommend this hotel and cant wait to go back! Martin

​We stayed at the hotel for two nights in a junior suite overlooking the main square and bull ring. The room itself was very spacious, clean and fully equipped. Unfortunately, a music festival was happening right outside our window and veey loud music lasted until 2:00 AM, making it impossible to sleep. However, the staff handled the situation brilliantly the next morning, they moved us to a quieter room for the second night concert, gave us complimentary breakfast, and included a gift. Overall, this is a wonderful hotel right in the heart of Ronda, featuring incredible views from the bar and rooftop pool.

We had a lovely one-night stay at Catalonia Ronda. The location is excellent, directly opposite the bullring and within easy walking distance of the famous Puente Nuevo bridge, restaurants, and cafés. It was wonderful to explore Ronda in the evening and enjoy the atmosphere of the town. We had a lovely corner room, which was comfortable and a nice touch for a short stay. The highlight of the hotel is definitely the rooftop pool and terrace, with beautiful views overlooking the bullring. This was one of the main reasons I chose the hotel, and the setting is fantastic. The only downside is that the pool water was extremely cold and is not heated, making it almost impossible to enjoy. A heated pool would make this rooftop area a much better experience. Overall, Catalonia Ronda is a very good choice for a short stay in Ronda — the location is excellent, the views are beautiful, and it is a great base for exploring this charming town.

#peelcliftvacay|Our 6th stay at this fantastic hotel in wonderful Ronda – city of dreams! As soon as we arrived and started unloading our hire car at the drop-off point opposite the hotel, Andres came straight over, took our luggage into reception and even offered our 6-year-old daughter a sweet! He then offered to park our car for us – great service. Andres also brought the car back to the hotel for us at check-out. The hotel uses a nearby car park for around €17 per day. We received a lovely warm welcome from Ines and Nieve at reception, who recognised us and were delighted to welcome us back. As Catalonia Rewards members, we were kindly upgraded to a Junior Suite, which was much appreciated. We also received complimentary drinks vouchers for the 4th-floor Panoramico restaurant and wine bar, with its stunning views. We’ve now stayed at this hotel six times, five as a family of three – two dads and our darling daughter. On this occasion, we stayed for two nights in August. We always book breakfast, and it is superb! While we’ve noticed many hotels have reduced their breakfast offerings in recent years, Catalonia Ronda continues to provide an excellent choice of high-quality food. It really is outstanding. On our first morning, the lovely Rocia welcomed us back and, along with her colleague, worked hard to make breakfast such a pleasant experience. The cook also makes a fantastic omelette! The rooftop pool is amazing, with views over the traditional bullring opposite. The water is always wonderfully cold – perfect for hot Spanish summer days! There isn’t a huge amount of space, though, so getting a sunbed or shade can sometimes be tricky. Our Junior Suite was spacious, spotlessly clean and had plenty of storage. As Rewards members, we received a complimentary bottle of still water each day. The room also included a coffee machine, safe, iron and ironing board, dressing gowns and slippers, minibar, and a fantastic bathroom with bath, separate shower and toilet. We particularly love the hotel’s Neroli & Wood bathroom products. There are also useful vanity items including a toothbrush, comb, shoehorn and shower cap. There’s a small gym and spa too, so the hotel really does have everything you could want. A huge thank you to all the staff for another incredible stay. Ronda is such a beautiful, historic place – we never tire of returning. We 100% recommend Catalonia Ronda and will definitely be back!
