The Hostal is just around the corner of one of the Old Town streets. Thus the location is perfect, also from the sea. As we were there in mid-May, the Hostal was just preparing for the coming summer season - the ground floor was under reconstruction, meaning also access to the kitchen and the common room was quite restricted. Still, the Owner is a really friendly English speaking man and, if wanted, you can keep your things in the fridge. Bonus - upper floor outdoors space for morning coffee :)

A little disappointed breakfast wasn't included, even though all the reviews/hostel info said it was. However, we understand the hostel is undergoing a revamp/ new ownership etc. It's a fab location and once it's been updated it should be a really social hang-out spot.

Had a great time there, and I also just love Marbella. Got to know a lot of people outside of the hostel as well as people who were staying at the hostel.
