The youth hostel offers low-cost Wi-Fi access in its public areas and has a TV room. Guests can enjoy views of the Mediterranean from the Albergue’s terrace.

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

The staff was very polite and helpful. Location is very good. We had a room with a view at the sea even at a distance, it was great. Breakfast is quite enough for ordinary tourists (except Italians who prefer more protein stuff and fruits😉). Bear in mind before booking that you will have to pay small amount of 2 euro per person for international traveler card (can be mistaken naming this card) in case you don’t have it. Or you will be proposed to buy the card. And actually its not mentioned in the booking hostel policy. On the whole it was a good value for a day stay for us. Thank you.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
