“great location, great rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2011

people found this review helpful

stayed in Oct 2010 as a stop-over on our way to Gibraltar. Major construction work going on in the area but to be honest - the location of the hotel is outstanding so we didn't really mind. parking is up the road off to the right in an underground area (light switch is immediately to your left as you open up the garage by the way. took us ages to find, doh). There is a little cafe just opposite the hotel which isn't great but definitely convenient. If you're in the area for a short period of time and, like us, prefer to spend more time sightseeing & eating out than being indoors then this place is for you :-)

“Good Hostal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2011

It was a little bid hard to find this hotel since this area was underconstruction and part of building nearby was covered up.
Small basic room (single) but enough for 1 with TV, AC, Safe box, hair dryer. Clean shower room. No kettle in a room. No breakfast at hotel. Vending machine at lobby to buy softdrinks. 3min walk to Alcazaba. Many restaurants and bars are around. 5-6min walk to main shopping streets, Marques de Larios. Very kind English speaking receptionists helped me for everything.
10 min(or less without suitcase) walk to Bus stop for Airport on Paseo del Parque (line A), 10 min walk to another bus stop for Nerja area on Av. Manuel A. Heredia.

“Cheap hostel in good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

If you expect a 3-4 star hotel with nice views - this is not a hotel for you. This is a small, quiet hotel which is located right in the center of the city. Rooms are small, with tiny windows. Ours was overlooking a wall of the nearby building. Showers come with built-in jacuzzi function, which was cool (although the bathtub was tiny). TV didn't work properly, and beds were very small. I would still recommend this hotel because of its location and price.

perfect location. room ok check which they give you as the first one was smelly and backed onto a internal wall .but i complained and they sorted this out and gave me another room no problem if you want a cheap room with a perfect location which was functional and with friendly staff then this is good .the great thing about this hotel is its next to the cathedral and wherever you go you find your way back very easily .also its easy to get to the station 10 mins walk to get the train to malaga airport which only takes 15 mins .

“Very courteous and helpful staff”

This hotel is in a great location within walking distance to the top sites and great restaurants. Room was clean, quiet and front desk staff very friendly and helpful. A shout out to Matteo who helped us with maps and answered all our questions. My only concern was the poor regulation of hot water - scalding hot to icy cold made showering difficult. Overall would highly recommend this Hotel to others and would definitely stay there again. There is no breakfast offered but restaurants are within steps.
