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.

    Comfortable beds great location. Easy check in - cheap parking nearby. Late noise from the streets at night, but in such a beautiful location in the centre, this was only a minor point.

    This is one of the best hostels we have stayed in. The area was quiet, the whole accommodation was superb and the breakfast offering was amazing. The bikes were an added bonus. When in Nerja this is where we will be staying.

    Everything was just more than great, I'd had the best time there, even came back after 2 weeks for a few night again, the best sleep I had in hostels, 12 13 euros is so cheap, great location, there's a book store just in front wich is really good, I recommend for book lovers, the owner is lovely and the people that come there are good energy, recommending for everyone 10/10 and will go back if I'll ever be there

Really ? how’s that hostel ? it’s luxury, well located and clean. -Jacuzzi in the top of the roof with a great view practically private as no other guests were there on the time of our stay. -Well equipped free of charge mini bar, bootle of bubbles and coffee machine in the room. -Bakery next door makes your breakfast amazing. -Great location. Near to balcony the europa. -Fantastic staff. cheerful receptionist and housekeeping. Room clean well daily. -For the price you get much more to competition within same budget.
