Exceptionally clean, very friendly staff , location is great. And value for money. Room is serviced daily if required by good staff. 24hr reception, where quite correctly, identity is politely checked before handing over keys when returning to the hotel.

Not a lot to dislike, I had booked an economy single room, but owing to a slight mix up I ended up with a 3 bedded room with a small balcony overlooking outside of the hotel. No facilities in room for self-catering, I asked for a kettle and was provided with one, so had my tea and coffee. Breakfast ( Continental ) is provided in bar/cafe area.

The location was perfect, right on the main street, 3 mins from the train station. The hotel has been newly renovated and the lobby/bar/restaurant area was lovely - super comfy little sofa and chairs. Great fresh coffee served at breakfast (inlcuding decaf) and flexible options. They kindly allowed me to have my almond milk for the coffee and toasted my gluten free bread for breakfast. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They lent me a brand new hair dryer and knife for lemon. The bed was super comfy, pillow memory foam and amazing, the air con silent and new, the fan a great addition. The shower was excellent and the room had all you needed! Would well recommend this newly renovated hotel - great value for money, comfy nights sleep, and a lovely sanctuary to come back to between your trips out, with the friendliest of staff!

The hollow centre of the hotel carries and amplifies sounds, so you hear every time someone opens or closes their room door and the key/locks are loud. This is the only downside and can be a disturbance to light sleepers.

Very good localization in the center of Benalmadena 5 minutes away from the train station, very clean hostel, nice and helpful staff, perfect for single travellers, very good value for money.

Breakfasts could be better and more diversified, though I understand the hostel's policy of not providing warm breakfasts. Still, some fruit and vegetables for example could help a lot.

Second time I have stayed here. The location is perfect, around 250 yards from the Arroyo train station which I used many times to get to Malaga amd some days to connect to the long distance fast trains. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Helped me with my Spanish and of course they spoke fluent English too. Great little bar and well stocked.

Nothing!

Really liked it here, overall pleasant staff. Rooms were basic but really clean and comfortable, fresh towels every day. Location wise, only a few minutes from the train station but a good 20 minutes walk to the beach. However, there is a bus stop by the station that goes to the front. Stayed here for a week and was really good. Would come back here for sure.

Nothing much, it was more or less what I was expecting from other reviews.

Good location if you want to live in central Arroyo - walking distance everywhere. Good beds, clean, well maintained, friendly staff. We had a room with balcony to the pedastrian zone & morning sun which we did not expect & which was great.

They are currently renovating the bar / cafeteria, should be done in the next couple of weeks - was done at good hours, we were not disturbed by the works & there many alternatives to have a coffee around, but would of course have been better if cafeteria was available.

Very clean, quiet, and felt very safe / secure with 24hr help desk, friendly staff. Ceiling fan good when hot and heating good when cold. Powerful shower.

Had to stay in the room until I recharged my phone and powerbank which took hours because electric only worked with a key attached to the door so wasted alot of time inside or would have got lost. No cups or kettle for my regular morning coffee to wake me up.

The staff are always an absolute delight! Super friendly, helpful and lovely! The rooms are clean, modern, excellent comfy beds and memory foam pillows, rainfall shower. I loved the large terrace for morning yoga, with both a view of the sea and mountains! The triple room actually gave me a queen bed + a single. Loved having a fresh decaf express each morning and hot oat milk (which I brought and they kindly used). The location couldn't be easier!

The breakfast was good. Nice crusty bread and a range of spreads. Staff were fantastic - very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect - very close to the train station, bars, restaurants and shops and a 15 minute walk to the beach. Bar area is lovely and very relaxed.

Rooms are basic and the bathroom was a bit small but overall very clean and the views are fabulous.

The hostel is located in the downtown, close to everything. Price-value ratio is excellent. Clean room and bathroom, kind personals.

The sound isolation of the room was non existent. Could hear every steps from the corridor and from upstairs. Unfortunately the dining area in the hostel was under reconstruction so I had to have the breakfast other places. The nice place opened after 8am, food, coffee, juice was excellent. But the other place where I could have the breakfast before 8am was a cheap pub with poor food etc.
