Comments: It\'s right across the street from the bus stop, so the location is a breeze when you arrive. The room was clean, and the free breakfast in the courtyard made for a great place. It\'s a touch far from the beach, or town center, but a solid choice none the less.

Comments: Very pleased with my stay here. The room was excellent for the price. Its location may be a bit far out for some, but I enjoyed the 10-15 minute walks to the balcon & beaches. Highly recommended, for the price you can't beat it!!

Comments: Be aware of the fact that there is no A/C so the room (which was very small)is REALLY hot at all times. Supermarkets, centre and beaches are very close. Internet access is limited and socializing is only possible during breakfast. Staff only speaks very little English and was not particulary helpfull. We still had a good stay 'though.

Comments: Having a private room and bathroom is a nice change from regular hostels. Right across the street from the bus stops, and a ten minute walk to the beach. Very nice, friendly and helpful staff (family-run), decent breakfast, free internet. For the price, nothing beats it.

Comments: The price was right and we really enjoyed our experience up until we left when we had a confrontation with the hostel owner. We politely asked for a place to keep our luggage after checkout and he got in our faces and was yelling. It was to the point we were afraid to respond because he seemed as if he would physcially hurt us. It was rude and unprofessional. A business should not treat its customers with disrepect and we felt verbally violated when we left.

Comments: Staff was unnecessarily brusque in handling our reservation, was very off-putting. The rooms are comfortable, very private, and have great rates, the location is not the best- about 10-15 minutes from the balcony of Europe. Great hostal but we were unhappy with the staff's treatment.

Comments: The guy behind the desk was very agressive from the moment we walked in and seemed to have a problem with most of the things that we did. For example booking the hostel online caused him to get quite angry, call up several people and just generally deal with the situation in an awkward and unfriendly way. Apart form the that the place was nice and the location was also really good right next to the bus stop.

Comments: I've stayed here twice now, and I will always go back! It's right next to the bus stop so it's convenient, and it's only a 10 minute walk to the beach, 15 minutes to the Balcon de Europa, and a little bit further to Plaza Tutti Frutti, where everyone goes out at night. Plus, the beds are really comfy and the breakfast isn't bad either! I think I'll always stay here when I come to Nerja!

Comments: Very clean comfortabl rooms. Long, hot showers. The russian couple that runs the place do not speak English but are very nice. We forgot out key in the room and had to wake the poor lady up at 4am. She was more than happy to open the door. "No pasanada, no pasanada." Recomended.

Comments: The hostel is 1 minute from the bus station but about 10-15 minutes from the beach. The hostel offers free internet, breakfast, and there's even a small TV in the room. Our room, double private, had it's own sink with the bathroom facilities in another room across the hall. Both of which we had keys for and were able to lock and unlock as we pleased. This hostel is a great value.

Comments: The BEST hostel breakfast ever!! 10 second walk from the bus station. Internet hours are limited but not bad. Bathroom and room were clean. Thank you for the free upgrade to a private room! If you´re in Nerja, make sure to check out the 10km hike just to to the left of the Nerja Caves parking lot. Sweeeeet views of the mountains. Watch out for snakes though...
