Liked: I am very happy I stayed at this particular hostel. The staff is wonderful. The owners are so friendly, helpful, and genuine. The hostel itself is very nice and has hot water for showers! My friend and I recommend it to anyone travelling to Marbella, Spain. It is situated a 10 minute walk from the beautiful Meditterian sea. Not to mention only a 10 minute walk away from the bus station and only about a 20 second walk away from a popular bar with delicious tapas.

Disliked: There was nothing I disliked about this property

Liked: OK LISTEN UP TRAVELLERS...firstly: Every thing i say is 100% Fact from personal experience... Ok......so, If your thinking about a trip,holiday,break,stay in Marbella this is the hostel for you! Not only is this place in the heart of Marbella's old town it is a stones throw from beautiful spanish resturants, the beach, historic shops, bars, supermarkets, banks, money exchange the list goes on & on situated in Marbellas idilic old town its hard to find superlatives to describe this hostel. it has EVERYTHING you could need... the hostel is run by 2 genuine, friendly, generous scots who will do anything to make sure your stay is to complete satisfaction. They pride themself alot on customer satisfaction (well thats the opinion i got - 1st class) everyone i met in this hostel was friendly and we spent many a nights down in the reception bar discussing our plans, ideas and main objectives of our trip. The owners helped me alot with there extensive knowledge of Marbella having lived there 20years + I will be going back to Marbella in 1 months time and i have already booked my next stay at this hostel. Believe you me, i am an honest lad and if there was anything not up to scratch i would certainly tell you - this is the place to stay and everybody in and around Marbella knows this! obviously your in the process of booking a hostel - trust me! book this hostel, you wont be dissapointed!

Disliked: Don't really have anything bad to say or anything i dislike about the property... ermm i would just be nit-picking if i had to say anything cos there really isnt nothing bad about it, , , , TRUST ME - you will be the same if you stay here, you will literally find nothing you dislike about this property. Its perfect to suit every travellers needs!

Liked: If you wish to stay in Marbella Old Town location is spot on. Friendly Scottish couple running the place and everything is clean. As long as you understand what can be had for this price it should be just fine.

Disliked: I think strange smell was some cleaning detergent they use. Needed to keep windows open most of the time. Wouldn't really bring girlfriend here unless I knew that she does really like this kind of places.

Liked: Mike is the nicest hostel owner I have EVER met. I changed my reservation 290275 times and he still gave me a discount. He made my first few lonely days here a whole lot better. They remembered who I was and always greeted me when I came in and made time for conversation. I would and will recommend this hostel to ANYONE coming to visit Marbella. Also, on the map it looked far from the beach, but it's literally 5 minutes away. Best location, best staff, best everything.
