    The bed was very uncomfortable ,

    The property is on the seafront at Benajarafe next to a busy main road. There is a car park behind the hostal- no charge and easy to access. The room was spotlessly clean with a good en-suite and a powerful shower. I stayed for a night on my way to the airport - absolutely fine for this, but not for a week's holiday. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming.

    Accommodation has nice balcony with sea view, superb swimming pool and it's close to the beach. It's calm location, close to Málaga but less crowded with plenty of restaurants nearby. Restaurant Esperanza is also very good so you don't need to go anywhere. Highly recommended.

    Really like on the pictures, nice swimming pool and on the beach front. Close to restaurants. Happy that we found a pet friendly place.

    Ideal beachfront Hostal
    • Business trip

    Nothing - although the parakeets out the back were quite noisy at times 😛

    Everything you could wish for from a beachfront Hostal. Clean spacious room, comfy bed, balcony with sea view, attractive pool, good bathroom, helpful staff, ample parking - and an excellent restaurant (separate business) for breakfast & lunch (until 6pm). Just an overnight stop for us: good choice of walkable beachfront restaurants for dinner - very welcome after long day’s travel. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful & very cheap: fresh orange, tasty coffee, plus choice of lightly toasted pitufos (medium) or Viena (large) baguettes with huge selection of fillings - chopped tomato & oil (like bruschetta) is recommended,, which we shared with ‘mixed’ ie warm ham/cheese & a toasted pitufo with jam to follow. We noted a few negative reviews here about staff. But In our experience all the staff we met were very friendly & helpful. Maybe language barriers & not keeping to the clear advice checkin/out times are to blame?

    1st time staying here and have just rebooked for later in the year. Basic very clean little hotel. Parking. Overlooking beach. Location is wonderful. Bedrooms got everything you need including telly and air conditioning. Little balcony with sea view. Bathroom totally functional and very clean. The hotel has a restaurant right by it. Very good Spanish food. Good prices. Just 2 minutes walk more restaurants which makes it just a great location. Pool wasn’t open but looks so inviting. For the price I totally recommend

    Small shower, no fridge in the room in case you travel in the period when it is hot. Room in quite small, so there's no space to put down the suitcase (wardrobe is in the room).

    Location next to the beach. Restaurant next to the building, possibility for breakfast and dinner. Free parking for the car. Kind staff which was available all the time during our stay. View from the balcony to the pool and sea was great. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Clean room and bathroom.
