Good value & clean accommodation. Quiet street 5 mins from main shops & bars. 20 mins from Playa Burriana. Staff friendly & helpful. Would definitely stay again.

This was such amazing value for money- we had a great room, with lots of space, lovely furniture, a fridge in the room and a great bathroom too. It was quiet and felt very safe. It was very close to the bus stop we got off at from the airport too, which made our trip simple and much less stressful! It is also just a very short walk down to the main streets and seafront.

Altogether lovely! I think we got free wi-fi in the lobby too and were welcome to sit on the sofa there when we needed to.

I was in Nerja at the beginning of April, so not in the peak season. Nerja was quite full of people anyway, so i guess in August could get a little bit stressy. April was OK.
We got a studio on the second floor, in a separated building about 200m away from the Hostal Abril itself. This second building was in a bit smaller street, called Calle del Almirante Ferrandiz, and this is maybe an advantage. However, the location in the Calle de la Pintada has a nice internal garden and most of the rooms have a balcony. In our building we had no garden and no balcony.
The room was quite simple, recently renewed, very clean and quite confortable.
The problem is that in this part of nerja you have to deal with a lot of noise from cars and motorbikes till late in the night. And to find a parking place can get tricky. At the end i always found a small spot where i could park my car, but sometimes i had to drive around the hostal for 20 minutes and more.
There is a large public parking lot in nerja where of course you always find a place, this is howevere about 15 minutes by feet to the hostal and i was too lazy to park there :-)
The family running the hostal was very nice. But don´t expect to speak English with them, try to learn a couple of spanish words! The manager specially cannot speak any English but if you talk in English with him, he seems to understand but he replies in Spanish. The sister of the manager can speak English sufficiently to help you with your needs. The woman taking care of the second building (where we were) does not speak and understand any word in English.
The price of this hostal was honestly amazing considering how clean was the studio we got. We had also WiFi and a good LCD television.

All in all, it was a good choice, specially if you don´t get nervous from the traffic on the street and you don´t get mad if you don´t find immediately a parking place right in front of the door.

We stayed three nights in a double room and were very pleased. The room was rather small (with two suitcases, there was not many space left to walk around), but nonetheless it was ok. We were not there to spend the day in the room, but on the beach and in the sea, so it did not really bother us. The location is very great: a few minutes walk from the bus stop and a few more minutes from Balcon de Europa and beaches. It is quiet (even in rooms on street side) and spotless. The staff is very courteous and helpful.
