48 EUROS FOR DOUBLE EN SUITE WITH AIR CON. Very clean & friendly, a little noisy if you are in a room overlooking the road but otherwise very good value in a fab village a stones throw from the beach with lovely sleep authentic bars & eateries a stroll away. On bus route for malaga town (1 euro) and other destinations

I arrived here at 18.00 on the day of my booking, to find a notice saying that you cannot check in after 16.00. 16.00????? What’s going on? Is that a joke? It turned out not. One of the residents told me that they would not be back until the next day. And that normally, they would contact you on the day, and if you can’t make the 16.00 deadline, they would leave a key in a key box next to the front door. So my question is…why did they not leave the key in the key box and send me the code. I actually sent a message the day before, to confirm I was coming, so it wasn’t like I might not turn up. So, from their info, you can only check in between 14.00 and 16.00. How can they run a hotel/hostel on that basis. They are clearly running it for their own benefit solely, and not for the benefit of the paying guests. They should be there when we need them to be there. It was fortunate that someone let me in, as my phone was about to die. And I managed to plug it in, inside the property. I called their number many times, texted, and emailed. They don’t answer or respond. What if there is an emergency, or a guest goes out without their key. What are they meant to do? There has to be an emergency number. So your flight is delayed, and you arrive after 16.00. Sorry, you can’t check in. Sleep in a bush or pay for somewhere else. I ended up on the phone to Expedia/Hotels, for nearly 2 hours. Even they could not contact the owners. And my call was to Arizona with them, so I dread to think what my phone bill will be. It might have been cheaper to rent a helicopter to pick me up and drop me at the most exclusive hotel in Malaga. We will see. BUT, they got me an alternative, the lovely Molina Lario, in the centre of town, which I would recommend highly. It was a nice respite from a horrific and stressful experience. There was also a girl there at the same time, who I suspect could not speak English or Spanish, in the same situation. After a girl told her the owner would not be there again until the next day (I think she could only speak French), she had to leave. Where was she going to go, if she couldn't afford to stay anywhere else? Finally, and this was the final insult, after Hotels had sorted me with an alternative, some people, who I took to be the owners, arrived and went into the reception. I introduced myself, and they completely ignored me, like I was a ghost. How ignorant. I think they are in the wrong business, and do not deserve our custom. If you want to be treated like dirt and ignored, this is the place for you.

Nos ha encantado y estamos súper contentos con nuestra elección ,la atención, la limpieza y las habitaciones muy cuidadas, repetiremos encantados, una maravilla. La zona de pedregalejo, playa, cafeterías y bares con muy buen ambiente.

Cogí este hostal por motivos de trabajo y viendo las imágenes que de él se ofrecen pensé que sería la mejor opción para pasar la noche. El hostal en si está bien pero las habitaciones dejan mucho que desear. Para nada se asemeja al encanto que se muestra por imagen. Habitación pequeñísima, para nada limpia y con un olor tremendo a humedad y cerrado. Cortinas sucias, bañera pequeña y poco limpia... y qué decir de las almohadas... puro papel. Imagino que será lo que se ajusta al precio, pero en mi opinión esperaba algo mejor, al menos cuidado.

L'Hotel e' carino, pulito, la stanza veniva riassettata ogni giorno con cambio asciugamani e molto comodo, si trova in buonissima posizione, sulla zona est, vicino alla spiaggia a 3/4 km dal centro da cui e' BEN COLLEGATO, di fronte all'Hotel passano 3 autobus diurni (11, 33 e 34) ed uno notturno (1) e tutti portano in centro in pochi minuti. Noi l'abbiamo raggiunto anche l'Hotel dal centro a piedi facendo una bellissima passeggiata sul lungomare... ad ottobre con la stupenda temperatura serale e' stato piacevole. Abbiamo anche trovato parcheggio proprio accanto all'Hotel. L'albergo ha aria condizionata, la nostra stanza al primo piano era carina e silenziosa, dava su una terrazza interna.L'Hotel ha la reception aperta dalle 09.00 alle 22.00 ed il personale e' stato molto gentile e ci ha dato tante utili indicazioni ed informazioni.Come tutti gli hotel prenotati nel nostro tour dell'Andalusia non ha frigo bar e ne colazione inclusa, ma per poco piu' di 40 euro a notte a stanza non si puo' chiedere di piu', anche se in estate magari un frigo bar sarebbe utilissimo. Appena fuori l'Hotel che si trova sulla strada principale, ci sono alcuni bar ed alle spalle , c'e' il " paseo marittimo"... pieno di ristoranti, bar e pub proprio sul mare. noi abbiamo provato un ristorantino spartano di fronte al mare dove abbiamo mangiato ottimi piatti di pesce "Ristorante el Morata" .. abbiamo provato fusolari, cotti e crudi, polipo alla gallega e gamberi pil pil.. tutti buonissimi.

Llegamos a ls 23:30. Una nota en la puerta decia entraramos con la CreditCard de la reserva. Entramos bien a recepcion pero a la habitacion IMPOSIBLE. No funcionaba. 5 llamadas al teléfono de emergencia que ponen en un letrero. Nadie responde. Pasadas las 24:00 llaman y nos abren la puerta de la habitación a distancia. Almohada incomoda, tipo "chorizo", a compartir. Al día siguiente, llamamos al hotel para pedirles nos pongan una almohada individual. Son las 19:10 h Nadie responde a pesar que en la puerta indican que la atencion en recepcion los sabados y demas dias de semana es hasta las 22:00. El domingo 29 en la mañana no había agua caliente en la ducha. El WC (hab 9) sucio, con manchas marrones. Habitacion muy ruidosa por estar orientada hacia la calle. La empleada del sabado no tiene ni idea de que el bus #3 te lleva justo al lado de la Est. Ma.Zambrano. No nos supo informar
