All hostels in Marbella
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Centrally located in Cabopino, it was a lovely apartment & perfect for the 9 nights we were there. The description of the apt says oceanfront which it is not however this did not impact me or my sister as it is about a 3-5min walk to the beach & 2 beach clubs. Great location overall & extremely safe. Facilities were great and plenty of space & storage you could easily have a family staying here.

    There were 6 of us and it was very spacious. Great location, we got taxi everywhere but splitting the cost made it affordable. It’s a really nice villa and give traditional Spanish villa vibes which was nice. We felt safe there and easy for taxis to find. We used Uber & Bolt mostly. Kitchen is equipped.

    The property is in a great location, only a 2-minute walk to the beach and some of the best beach bars and restaurants. It was also a very quick walk to Puerto Banus. It was very nice to have a private garden where we could lay out and enjoy the sun. The apartment was very clean with beautiful furniture and decorations. I really felt safe with the 24-hour-a-day security. We will book this again on our next trip to Marbella. Stunning Gardens with pools both indoors and outdoors.

    Breakfast was OK, Room was as expected to be in a youth hostel, bathroom needs few repairs, the location is ok. Few steps from centre and the beach but not much. Parking *** Mister who work at the time of staying there was the best!

    Great location, spacious and well equipped. Common areas very clean and building sound proofed throughout. A largely private residential property where everyone I met was friendly
