We absolutely loved this hostel! The staff is great (took us out for tapas), the location is excellent and the view from the patio is probably one of the best in the city. Definitely recommend this hostel! It only has one shower for all 8 people (it's a small hostel), but the rest makes up for it.

It is the greatest place in Ronda and even in Andalusia! There you could find not only amazing view on the bridge ( just siting all night on the edge) but also excellent stuff and meet very nice people there. And if you will meet owner on the streets and say him that you have a problem to find smth vegetarian to eat, he will invite you to the real Andalusian bar where you will try local wine and food (of Course you are a guest and he will pay for you ) ) Babia backpackers is very clear and also there is a

The view from the terrace alone is worth a stay in this hostel: it's breathtaking, and I think there's no better point of view to admire the Ronda bridge. A downside is that there is only one bathroom in the hostel so you may have to stay on queue if the person showering before you is not very considerate (don't worry too much, though, this hostel only contains 3 rooms so it's not a big problem)

Really enjoyed my peaceful stay in Ronda here. A hidden gem of a hostel that I partly don't want to let everyone know about! The view is the best in Ronda and Mimi the owner went out of his way to make us comfortable, even made a load of tapas free for us one night with drinks. The hostel felt more like a private apartment with only 3 of us staying there and had good lounge facilities to relax. Thanks for a lovely trip in beautiful ronda.

The staff there is great. And the location is great. You can see the new bridge in the hostel directly.

One of the best hostels I've ever been! Such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere! The view and the terrace can't be described in words. There is a comfortable living room with a modern kitchen with everything you need, the stuff is very friendly and easy-going. You should arrange yourself with the other backpackers because there is only one bath room, but that wasn't a big problem. I would definitely recommend the hostel!

Clean and tidy overall, nice kitchen and common room. The view from the balcony is excellent, However there's only on bathroom to share so need to plan your shower time ahead

It is not really a Hostel, more a Guest House. It has 2 rooms with 4 bunk-beds inside. A very nice terace with an amazing view right central to the Puente Nueva. There could not be any better location! The kitchen is very nice and fully equipped. The living room is very nice with a huge table, very comfortabkle seats and an atmosphere like staying home. I would definitely come back here. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. But: it is not a party-hostel where you meet many people.

Très agréable petite auberge, familiale pour ainsi dire ! Très bien placée. Ca serait pas mal d'avoir d'autres toilettes (il n'y en a qu'une, dans la salle de bains).

the owner, Mimi, is very friendly and fun. highly recommended hostal with a breathtaking view and comfortable beds (only two 4 bed rooms though, and one bathroom). great kitchen, wifi, and real breakfast with juice, coffee, fruit, etc. -- not just the standard toast.

The hostel is small and there is a friendly atmosphere. The view from the terrace was a big selling point for me and I was not disappointed. The staff had been ill recently when I was there so the condition of the hostel was probably not at its best. As they pointed out some of this is due to guests not cleaning up after themselvest but the issue of water leaking out from around the shower curtain in the bathroom could be solved. The owner took us to the super cheap local bar which was fun.

Since there's only 1 bathroom is available for 9-10people, I asked people who relaxed at the living room if it's OK to use it. They say it's definately OK, but I heard that one of the guest says 'go back' after I left the room. landscape is amazing.

Owner Comment (Show)
the cappacity is for 8 persons ( 9 with the staff), the bathroom maybe was dirty because sometime the guess dry theirselves on the floor so the bathroom get dirty, maybe in this moment the staff can´t see it. the hostel is new and is cleaned allways you can see it in all of the commentaries. I dont know what you say about the bad smells, nobody have got wrong about it except you. This is not the only hostel where you have to pay things, in every european hostels you must to pay the extra services like heater ( this is very expensive); the towel only cost 1 euro, something symbolic because the most of times people take their own one. Is absolutely fault that you have to pay for the blackets, the staff sleep only with it

The view from the terrace is magnificent, the Parador does not have such a good view for €250- a night!

This little hostel was excellent! Our group of 4 got a room to ourselves for a really decent price. Also, the view was terrific. It was literally on the edge of the canyon and looking right at the bridge. The staff was friendly and the security was pretty good as well. The only real issue that we had was that there was only one bathroom for about 10 of us.
