The 3 star Hotel Lloyd is situated on Avenida Carlota Allesandri, the main road out of Torremolinos to Benalmadena. The train station is about a 15-20 minute walk away.But there is a bus stop near. Busses pass here at least every 15 minutes.

As we seem not to have any reviews for this hotel perhaps on your return you could post a review in our Hotel Review section. In the meantime if you want to have a look here it will give you some indication of what to expect.

Our hotel reviews are located here I shall ask admin to add it to the list of hotels.

Folks

I stayed in a private apartment behind the Lloyd last week, but it seems to be closed. Is it a seasonal hotel?

I liked the look of it and am curious.

Thanks
Jilly

Pipefitter will correct me if I am wrong, but instinct tells me that the rail stop to get off for a shorter walk to the Lloyd Hotel would be Montemar.

Debatable whether it is a shorter walk.Thing is you have to walk through the private urbanization first,and if you cant speak spanish to ask directions? then walk back towards Torremolinos to the Lloyd once you get on to Ave Carlota Allezandri.
You and I have the advantage of knowing our way around the area.I would advise someone who didnt to get of at Torremolinos train station and catch a bus.

I'll agree with Pipefitter, Montemar Alto train station is no quicker than getting off the train at Torremolinos and walking by the side of the main road towards la Carihuela, if you look at the map, then you will see that the train track goes away from the coast after Torremolinos.

I haven't been up there for a while, but the new la bateria park is now open and may have altered the route.

The "hybrid" version of this map reveals both Bateria Park and the Lloyd Hotel. It struck me when I headed past on the train last month that walking down through the park might have been the quicker route to the main road, but am happy to bow to the dependable Pipefitter and Sanji on this one.

If this helps, here is the bus timetable. The buses are every half hour and stop just outside the hotel. Also on the Calle Casada at the side of the hotel Lloyd there is a taxi rank. I was worried there wouldnt be one there when I needed it so I asked one of the drivers and he gave me the taxi firms card and told me to ring them if necessary. Taxi fare ranged from 17-20 euros.
