Great hostel/hotel with really clean rooms, a great shower en suite and in a fantastic location right on the beach. Welcomed by amazing staff who went into detail showing us a map of local areas of interest and they were always on hand to help, whether it be to recommend a restaurant or book us a taxi. Can not fault this place at all and I would easily return! Thanks!

Great affordable place to experience Mijas Pueblo. The hostel was very comfortable and clean more like a hotel with air conditioning and all the facilities like a hotel, just no restaurant and breakfast for food but ideal to go out and experience the area. Food is expensive in the old village area but if you venture (less than 10 min walk) just outside of the main village area to the local Spanish tapas bars it's an experience you will truly treasure.

The studio apartment was just perfect for what we needed, a double bed, a sofa bed, a kitchenette and the cutest little balcony. We felt safe as two women travelling and valued having the hostel and 24 hour reception next door. The view was cute, the night time was quiet, there was plenty of space. Excellent location, easy to access all of the public transport. Would 100% stay again!

The Hostal Italia is great for all visitors. It's centrally located behind the port. Near to the train station & bus station. It is family run & extremely clean & tidy. The staff don 't all speak English, but then why shud they?? They are all happy to help with enquiries about the town & facilities. My room was very small, but had everything I needed. I was in Rm 206 which is a single, no balcony. It is compact, but clean & for what I paid was more than adequate.

Had a fantastic stay at the Hostel Duran.
Lovely place in the heart of the old town, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep.
We had beautiful views from our terrace to the castle, I suggest booking a room with a balcony/terrace.
Rooms are basic (it's a Hostel) but clean, spacious and beds very comfortable.
The room was also cleaned daily, the whole property is spotlessly clean.
Can't wait to return.
