Hostal Escandinavia

Greeted by Manageress, granted requested balcony room. English a bit lacking but certainly better than my Spanish. Room a tad basic but comfortable beds, good size balcony with table and chairs. Plentiful hot water for bathing or shower, decor somewhat dated as was furnishings, a fresh lick of paint wouldn't go amiss. Mask's to be worn in hotel common area's * a good thing! Staff pleasant enough, maid, Mirta, very helpful for train and bus travel advice. Regular fresh towels. At the price certainly wouldn't complain, was good enough for the 6 day break.

Property was a bit tired, needs updating. Owners were lovely

Good location to the train station and town centre.

Lovely traditional hotel. Basic but very clean with lovely staff. Great price for room only. This is our 5th time visiting this hotel.

This family run pension is brilliant value, beds changed every day and rooms cleaned everyday!

The hotel is very basic and in urgent need of redecoration. That said, the owners were lovely, it was cleaned every day and is in a good location for the nightlife. Ideal for those wanting a cheap bed to sleep in but not for those who expect a little luxury when going away.

Can not fault for the price. The staff very friendly.

Really enjoyed my stay here, I was on a budget so booked based on price. The place is very basic but clean and run by a delightful Spanish couple, my room had air con / WiFi and was cleaned daily. Would not hesitate to stay here again 👍

Rooms very basic. No where to hang shoer head. No plugs on basin or bidet. Beds hard and cold. Tv minute. Rooms run down and dirty. Very old place with a lot of work to be done. Owners elderly and tired. Lots of clutter and very smelly cats. Noisy area. Lots traffic. Doors locked at all times awkward when you go out, have to ring bell to get in at all times.fire hazard. No tea making facilities. Only good thing was near to centre of town.

Helpfull staff. Rooms are clean with good basic facilities. The hotel is well located close to the station, town centre and 0 minutes walk to the beaches. good if you are also visiting malaga and/or need to easy access to the airport.

A cheap hotel with very dated accommodation in need of complete refurbishment entrance area and gardens need a clean up.Rooms are noisy at night due to close proximity of bars and road traffic.A bar attached opens early for breakfast and drinks staff friendly and helpful.Rooms are tidied and fresh towels everyday .Small TV Spanish channels only air conditioning and free wi Fi in rooms.All staff welcoming and friendly .Overall ok if you are on a budget and don't want 5star accommodation.

Hotel was nice it's what you pay for basic. Spanish couple the own it are really nice and helpfull. Close to the beach and all night life.

I have stayed here before and certainly will again

Very old building but in a very central location with large rooms and very clean.

I just needed somewhere to sleep and shower. This hotel was perfect for this. Basic, clean and good value.

A comfortable hotel if a little dated.friendly staff and room cleaned daily.In a good position for train buses and beach some people may find its position noisy due to surrounding roads .would stay again

I could not sleep at all even after a long travel & not sleeping 2 days before , lot of traffic noise , uncomftable bedding , never go back there again.

The hostel has a selection of decent sized rooms which are large and clean but furniture is dated-having said that there were loads of hanging space and draws for storage, the bathroom was clean and huge with a piping hot shower over a bath. There was a large balcony which was sunny all day but looked out onto quite a busy road junction, although you can see the sea in the distance! The locking the customers in and out in the evening was a bit weird but kind of worked and even though I came in very late at night the hostess was always there to let me in with a ring of the doorbell, and her cats are adorable! The public areas are clean and functional but a bit haphazard! A glimpse into private quarters and these are untidy and appear chaotic but there was a certain charm to this little hostel - yes I could hear the noise of the road outside and more so the noisey Brits staying in the next door room but I did sleep reasonably well on a comfortable bed and would stay again.

The room was spotless and maintained daily. Unfortunately, because the hotel is on a main road, there was a great deal of traffic noise.
