Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Latvia 23rd October 2008 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: Location is ideal - very center of the town - old town and narrow streets with pubs and cafes, small shops on the same street as hotel, yet the sounds of the street does not come in the building. Everything is just a few minutes walking distance away - beach - just 10 mins, bus station - 15 mins. rooms simple but clean. downside - not all rooms have windows to outside world - ours went to the garden - feels safe, but does not feel like can get enough fresh air.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 20th August 2008 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: Very good location, accessing all the main areas of downtown Marbella, and within reach of all the places I needed to go to. Beware of room 3, as the bathroom door wasn't working...and I got locked in!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 6th August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: good location, would have been easier if they spoke english but otherwise was cool. not a party hostel, more like a budget hotel

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 12th August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: I can honestly say that although the staff are very helpful the hostel is rubbish. There is no A/C at all.. in 34 degrees heat this was pretty unbearable. I checked in stayed a couple of hours and checked straight back out. If you dont fancy a decent nights sleep or enjoy a few bugs this is defo the place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 4th May 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: Great location and only a 20min walk from the bus depot (carrying your pack). It's a motel/budget hotel and not a hostel

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 30th June 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: There was a few of us (7)foe a 3 night weekend and we loved the place, cheap, clean and great location for the beach, cafes & bars!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 8th June 2008 Mixed Group 41+ 3/5 Comments: The main receptionist was helpful and friendly but the other staff were quite unfriendly. The Hostal was pleasant and also clean, the shower didn't work well in one room. Overall, good for the price.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 6th May 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Just brilliant. Basic yes, but the staff were very nice, the rooms were clean, and very open. Old Marbella is a lovely and charming place to visit. Definitely would recommend a stay at Hostal Paco but make sure YOU DON'T FOLLOW the Trav map as it goes to another road called Peral that is 16km away in San Pedro!!! DO NOT make that mistake as we did. It is in Old town MARBELLA!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th May 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: It was just a cheap hotel basically. For all intensive purposes it was perfect for what I wanted. It is not a hostel where there is a common room and a bar.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 16th July 2007 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Hostel was in a great place and considerably cheaper than if you stayed in Puerto Banus. Only about a eu12 cab ride which definitely makes it worth it. Amazing cafe across the street with great salads and cocktails. Only downfall is that the staff spoke absolutely NO english. However, given that everything was taken care of, it wasn't really an issue.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 10th September 2007 Female 41+ 4/5 Comments: I would like to recommend Hostel Paco for all those who wish to have pleasent days in Marbella. In the heart of the ancient town, very close to the beach. Simply perfect. Giulia (Trieste, Italy)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 2nd September 2007 - - 3/5 Comments: Overall our experience at the hostal was not bad. However, there was an issue with our AC not working (we stayed in room 4) and the staff has not repaired it though we ve made several complaints about it. Other than that, it was pretty good and pretty clean.
