    We had room 208 which is on the front of the hotel overlooking a street which is fine during the day but the come night-time bars open and you will not sleep!! We arrived back at the hotel at 11pm, didn't sleep until 5.30am because of the noise coming from the street!!! No wonder this room had two sets of earplugs provided which were discovered in the morning

    The hotel is in a good location, clean modern rooms. Nice little bar and coffee room for drinks, pool table for a bit of fun and I think there was a small kitchen on the ground floor for you to cook or prepare your own food

    Very noisy if you are on the street side of the hotel, there were people our chatting on the street until gone 6am (i think there is a club opposite or nearby and it was a Friday) the hotel room did have ear plugs which did help.

    Location was great, general decor and style of the hotel was good and as shown in the pictures.

    I didnt like the small space in the room and linen didnt smell fresh, rather the opposite. In the morning i wanted to make my breakfast and coffee and lady in the kitchen was preparing something for a group and told me if i am not part of the group i cant use the kitchen at this moment. The guy at the reception let me do my breakfast but she was not happy about it and rude waiting for me to finish fast so she can close the door, and i had to eat outside the kitchen.

    The hostel's location is good. Everything is within walking distance, including shops and restaurants. The staff was the best there, very kind and very helpful. The common spaces are good.

    It has a few major flaws. The biggest one of all is that there are no curtains or anything to close off the cubicles... total lack of privacy. Second, the electric outlets are right next to the pillow (assuming you're sleeping with the pillow on the side that is harder to see from outside for privacy, since there are no curtains), so the charger hits your face (I've attached a photo). Third is that the stairs to go up the bunk beds are super loud and squeaky. Fourth is that the bathroom has no lock and no place to put your towel/clothes while you shower. One would think anyone designing the room would immediately see the problem: where do I keep my clothes? And my towel? Unless you want to go outside to undress and get your towel (which is unlocked so anyone can go inside at any time!!) and anyone can see you naked, forget showering. They don't even have a hook attached to the wall (which would cost them 2€ per room) to help a little with the situation. The bedsheets are quite warm so I would usually sleep without them. Problem: there are no curtains, so unless I want 5 other people staring at my legs and underwear, I have to endure the heat. It has the potential to be nearly perfect... if it had nice curtains, (which would also fix the electrical outlet problem), non squeaky stairs, and a lock in the bathroom or somewhere to hang your clothes that doesn't get wet.

    Reception is nice, room itself looks modern and clean.

    There were no curtains or something like that for the beds, would have been nice for some privacy. And I didn't appreciate that the toilet & shower are only within the dorm rooms, no additional bathrooms are available outside of the dorms.

    The common areas and dorm rooms were kept very clean. The beds were comfortable and staff was friendly. Location of the hostel was great as well, very central and everything can be reached by foot.

    There are no curtains - these days, all (nice) hostels have curtains so guests can enjoy a bit more privacy. Since there was no female dorm (left?) I booked a regular one and I was put in one room with 5 men (that had never happened to me before and normally the hostel tries to mix it with females/males). In the morning, I woke up and basically had to look at the butts of 5 men (it was really hot and apparently, most preferred to sleep almost naked with no sheet). There aren’t even hooks etc to put on an own curtain, reason enough not to book again. Unfortunately, because otherwise it seems to be a nice hostel. Minor thing: at the reception I was told buses to Marbella go from the harbor close by and there isn’t a need to go to the big bus station - turned out to be wrong information.

    Great location, beautiful design and friendly staff. It also seems to have been renovated recently.

    On the Friday, given a price of €57 to extend my stay for one night on the Monday. On the Monday told price of bed was now double that, because it was 1. the last bed, 2 it was the Feria. I was told the best offer was €99 for a bed in a x 4 person room. I declined. 12 hours later I’m notified via Booking that the same bed is available for circa €65. The naked greed creates a bad impression. No “my word is my bond” in terms of price, simply price gouging on the fly. No one was prepared to pay a ridiculous €99 to share a room with 3 other people. I was in the bed already, prepared to pay €57 to stay, but TOC wanted to earn a few more euros….Was an additional €8 (assuming the bed was even taken) worth it? Distasteful

    1) Better cleaning service in the rooms is needed. 2) Drunk people were allowed in the hostel reserving a bed for just 4 hours, making an insane amount of noise and messing up everyone's sleep in the room. Felt unsafe.

    Breakfast was okay. Not a lot of options, and the breakfast room is doubling as a commercial coffee shop. So there's a rush getting people out of there when the clock hits 11:00.
