Well situated in Marbella, Hostal El Gallo offers air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar. Featuring a children's playground, this property is set a short distance from La Bajadilla Beach, El Faro Beach and Venus Beach. The accommodation features evening entertainment and luggage storage space.

At the hostel, all rooms are equipped with a desk. The units feature a private bathroom, a hairdryer and bed linen.

This is a family house that is converted into a hotel, the location is very nice and quite, the staff are super sweet, friendly and responsive. I was upgraded to a big room with a balcony that overlooks the mountains and there was a cleaning service everyday. I highly recommend this place!

Boasting a garden, shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi, Hostal San Felipe is set in Marbella, 2.1 km from San Pedro Beach and 2.4 km from Cortijo Blanco Beach. The property is around 36 km from La Duquesa Golf, 45 km from La Cala Golf and 47 km from Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor. The hostel has family rooms.

The room was very clean and included enough amenities for my entire stay. The staff was super friendly and accommodating when I unexpectedly had to stay 2 extra nights. I like that the doors have a code system so that you do not have to worry about a key. The city centre and beach are at walking distance and the roof terrace is very nice. I would definitely stay here again, great value for money.

A buffet breakfast is served daily and the hostel is within walking distance of many of Marbella’s cafés, bars and restaurants.

Great location, down hill from the bus station. Close to the main Avenue along the coast.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We had everything we needed in the apartment, it was perfectly clean and is in a very safe and quiet complex which was great for our family. Lovely view from the balcony in the morning and at sunset. Very good size with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The apartment is in a great location with a supermarket and pharmacy within a 5min walk. Loved it and it was a great holiday!!

    The hostel has a great location, very central to most spots in the old town. Entrance and exit of the main entrance was accessible with a code.
