2-Star Hotels in Andalusia, Spain

This is a stylish hostel with a very new feel to it 🤍. It's clean and you can tell they've put thought into various details. Pros: Clean, curtains on beds, ample luggage storage, rooftop, tap water/sparkling water machine. Cons: There were no female-only rooms available so I stayed in a mixed dorm, but the shower stalls were too small and my clothes got completely wet 😭. There wasn't really anywhere convenient to change. The facilities stayed consistently clean because the cleaning staff were always tidying up – early mornings, after check-out, and regularly throughout the day! It's great that there are containers and drawers to store your own food and condiments. My coke did get stolen though... 😂 But it was nice to have apples available at the front desk every morning!

The front desk staff were so kind, which I really appreciated. I was satisfied with this accommodation as it was an affordable place for me to stay alone, and the service was good too.

The location of Don Alfredo is unbeatable!!! You basically fall out of the hotel and into the old town of Marbella. That said, the hotel is not one of the newest and it's a bit rocked down, but still well kept. The room was very basic but clean, as was the bathroom. We didn't plan to spend a lot of time in the room anyways, so for our purposes it was perfect for a quite affordable price! 😀 The staff was kind and helpful and in the morning they brought coffee according to our wishes to the dining room table or also to one of the tables right outside at the entrance of the hotel. Coffee was great, but breakfast was not very impressive, so we only had a little bite, but always took some fruit from the fruit bowl 🍎🍏🍊 Parking outside the hotel was a bit difficult, but not far there was the possibility to park for free, just needed to circle a bit sometimes and get lucky with a spot getting empty right in front of us ... Altogether, we enjoyed our stay a lot ... The old Castillo de Marbella was right in front of the hotel and there was a little resto named El Rincón de la Muralla that would seat you right beside the Castle wall - very romantic at night! 💕 After dinner there, we only had a few steps to take to get into bed and enjoy a good night's sleep ... As for the pictures, only the first one is showing the hotel, the rest are pictures taken in the old town Marbella, super close to the hotel - and just to prove how great this location is! 😎

Location is good, close to the cathedral and in a nice neighbourhood, cafes and restaurants nearby. People at reception are nice and helpful. The room is ok, a bit basic, outdated and bathroom not very clean, terrace on the rooftop was closed probably because it’s winter. Overall I would just recommend for 1 night to someone looking for a central location on a budget.

Despite a slightly unpleasant incident, I still want to leave a review. The kitchen is well-stocked with cutlery and pots. I stayed in an 8-bed dorm that had a hairdryer, a desk, and a separate washbasin. There are large and small lockers for each person, but you need to bring your own lock. The bathroom is private, located inside the room, and it's tiny, really tiny. There are many extra charges; luggage storage is 5 euros, and buying a lock is also 5 euros. There's a large rooftop terrace with drying racks, and the room also has a mini balcony.

The location is fantastic, right by the main cathedral, making it easy to get to all the popular attractions. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, so finding food is convenient. The front desk staff were very helpful and arranged for me to switch to a bottom bunk. There's a small kitchen in the basement with a microwave and oven, which is fine for simple cooking. The mixed-gender dorm room is a decent size, not too cramped. The locker is huge, and the top shelf is very high. The shower stalls don't have hooks, and the sink was quite clogged. It was cleaned daily. The bedside lamp is tiny and very dim.

We arrived at an address where we were told to go elsewhere. Once there, the sound of running water greeted us and remained throughout our stay. At our first complaint, the manager asked where the noise was coming from, then heard nothing more. Opaque glass separated us from a pretty patio with dim, permanent lighting. But when someone enters, the light turns on automatically. Curtains would have improved the situation. The room was clean, but completely charmless. White tiles, white walls, two large beds, a small table with a chair, a shelf hanging from the wall, and below it, a bar with hangers. The bathroom had a walk-in shower with curtains, which splashed water into the room every time we showered.

The hotel owner was super nice - he got my friend an iron and hair dryer on her request and even drove us to El Puerto de Santa Maria when we were waiting for the bus in the rain. The beds were comfy and the rooms were cleaned daily. That being said… the hotel is in a quiet, residential area and there are only a couple of grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance, toward the Valdelagrana beach. However, we were there in March, but I’m sure more is open during the summer months. It also gets quite cold in the rooms in March, so if you’re afraid of chilly room temperatures you might want to look for some place with central heating or space heaters on site. Also, transportation comes infrequently and shuts down early - like at 10, 11 pm - so allow some time and do some research when you’re ready to leave the area ot the hotel.

It's a good hotel newly renovated and in a great location. The window is very special (perhaps inherited from the building itself) which blocks the noise from the street really well. Though i really want to love the hotel but your neighbors matter a lot. You could literally hear every word, get to know the gossip they're talking about and enjoy the music with them whole night just by lying on your bed. Also, luggage deposit will change you 3 euro.

Very new campsite. They are still finishing up some decoration and other things. Very comfortable for families with children. Everything is very new and clean.
