Reviews for Hostal Rural Atalaya
Review 1：No furniture in the room except 2 beds. Dark room - no proper window. The window was oriented to a dark corridor inside the building, so if you opened it, people could look directly into your bed. Wifi did not reach to the room (1st floor).
Review 2：Hostel just opposite the parking place and tourist bus stop to Mirador de Trevelez, Mulhacen.
Review 3：Request a room with shower not bath if have physical difficulty. Bath was very difficult to get into for someone not 100% agile (my friend has had a hip replacement and there was not a lot of manouvering space for getting in - was a short bath and 1/3 of it was a built in seat), bottom of bath very slippy - had non slip stickers but these moved and she fell and her tooth went through her lip and hse has badly bruised her shoulder.
Review 4：Location excellent, very very clean and comfortable, excellent value for money, was very nervous because of price but didnt need to be - would definitely stay again.
Review 5：If anything, the covers on the bed were too warm!
Review 6：Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, brilliant location, comfortable and warm (nights get cold!), amazing views
Review 7：No good comunication with owner, no help No reception No cooking facilities (even hot water) Heating only from late afternoon time No TV
Review 8：Great localization (view on mountains, by main road) Clean room, every day service
Review 9：Perfect for a walking holiday. Although they don't do food, there is a great place for breakfast about one minute away. The weather closed in and we had to abandon our last night, but were only charged for the nights we stayed. Free WiFi that worked!
Review 10：I think because it was late in the season it was difficult at times to find a member of staff as reception wasn't always manned. There is always a phone number you can call and they arrive promptly. If you need to call you use the pay phone. It is free of charge but you have to put money in the phone first and then it is refunded. Also it would be nice to see more information about local travel services provided at the hostel only because the opening hours at the tourist information are very short.
Review 11：As the title said it.
Review 12：There is no public area but bars and cafes are very nearby. The view was blocked by a walnut tree, but was still lovely.
Review 13：The room is very clean as were the sheets and towels. The manager / owner? is friendly and helpful and although my room was on the roadside, it was quiet at night because the door sealed well. I extended my stay to three nights.
