    100% satisfied with this place! The value for money is incredible. It’s located right in the heart of Marbella’s Old Town, just a 10-minute walk to the promenade and the beach. The owners are very friendly, and the room was very clean. For this price in Marbella, it’s an amazing deal. We originally booked for two nights but ended up staying for four. Highly recommended! -

    Location, staff and comfortable. Kitchen was so so.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Great, quiet location. There's a very tasty restaurant downstairs. I loved my stay here. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The room was modern and stylish, with a nice bathroom, and everything was very clean. The air conditioning worked very well, and there was daily cleaning service. The room had a fridge and a coffee and tea set. We are rather short, so the bed size was fine for us, but it might be too short for very tall people. The location was excellent — in a quiet and peaceful part of the old town. We requested a quiet room, and it had a window facing the courtyard, covered with light-permeable film. We didn’t mind the lack of a view at all — it made the room nice and quiet. Communication with the property manager was excellent.

    Clean. Room was tiny but it was the problem because we were at the three days wedding so we had just too many things. Otherwise it’s okay. Small but very okay.

    Excellent in every way! Water doesn't stay hot for long so you'll need to get on with your shower and not dillydally ?

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    + Very convenient location in the centre of Marbella, on a quiet picturesque street. + Good bed, efficient air conditioning, good shower, a kettle and a fridge in the room. Clean and comfortable. + Friendly staff + The restaurant belonging to the same owners offers tasty dishes at very reasonable prices. + Value for money. Generally, it's a very good hostal for a couple of nights, especially if you're interested in the city, not in the sea. - In the bathroom, I missed a heated towel rail: would be convenient to dry towels and fight humidity. I came to Marbella not for the sea, but if your aim is a beach holiday, there's nowhere to dry towels.

    This accommodation was exceptional. Nice room, friendly staff, great location, and quiet.

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    This is a little gem of a hotel. It's quiet on an adorable street very close to the centre of the old town. The rooms are very comfortable and functional. Aircon works a treat. The staff looked after me and regularly cleaned my room. There is also a lovely Spanish restaurant below which is amazing value for money. I will definitely stay here again.

    Really cosy quiet place in the old town. Lovely restaurant attached. The pillows were a little high for me

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    Fantastic location and really clean and modern. Exceeded all expectations.

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    The location of this property was ideal for enjoying the Historic District, Plazas and Water Front. The staff was extremely professional and the room exceeded my expectations. Nothing

  • Engine customer Jan 2025

    Old Town Marbella is small yet quite nice. El Gallo is in that OldTow, perhaps a half block from various plazas and church squares where you’ll find food and drink. No breakfast served however again, you’re just a half block from various opportunities. One thing, the restaurant in El Gallo is Lunch/Dinner type, Don’t miss going there, it’s a locals place with very Very good food. Cheers !

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    It's situated on the most adorable picturesque typical little street, the rooms which are all upstairs have just been recently refurbished the photos don't do them justice, even although I booked a single I had a double bed which was extremely comfortable, excellent quality bedding and towels and the bathroom was in beautiful cream marble, it was way above my expectations, the owners are lovely and even let me keep my room on until 4pm at no extra cost as I had a late flight, nice touch. I will definitely return, be sure to find the tiny little courtyard on the street in front with a little church and a couple of little restaurants.

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    Nice room and probably newly renovated to very good standard A waste basket in the room

  • Engine customer Nov 2024

    As always, very high standards and run by excellent staff. Nothing

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Clean, light and spacious room with balcony terrace. All the plumbing was high quality, a rarity on this trip! Good location next to the old town, and a 20 minute walk from the Marbella bus station. Kettle and fridge also very useful. The hotel restaurant also serves very good food at reasonable prices. Occasionally noise coming from other guests in the stairwell.
