Reviews for Hostal Esperanza

Review 1：Nothing much. Maybe not much sound insulation between the rooms but I've slept in much much worse

Review 2：Warm welcome of the staff. Small family run business made you feel like a person and not just number. Rooms are basic but comfortable. WIFI- in rooms if near main building otherwise in public areas including the pool area. Location near to beach and restaurants. Good bus service to go along the coast inc. Malaga. Restaurants attached is very good cheapest around, which is why the local people use it. I ate here nearly every night. Mountains behind on your doorstep. Yes I will return!

Review 3：The hotel bar is great, friendly, helpful staff, great food, prices better than the rest of the bars along this stretch. Having tried a few bars along the front, we kept heading back.

Review 4：We ended up with a family room (nothing else was left) and the bed was a bit small. There was also quite a lot of noise from the other guests coming and going - the bedroom backed onto the car park, but the other room (the kids room) was facing the pool. An upstairs room would have suited us better, but nothing available!

Review 5：The nice lady running the place was very helpful. The pool is really nice, with a bar/restaurant next to it, and the location opposite the beach is great, although it's a bit of a walk to town.

Review 6：Wasn't able to connect to the wifi at all from my room or the balcony, not even on my laptop. Walls are way too thin. I could hear the people next door to me having sex and I could basically hear every little detail which was disgusting.

Review 7：Location was good. Right next to the beach. There were loads of different restaurants to choose from plus the hotel had a restaurant right downstairs.

Review 8：Should have stayed longer the last time.

Review 9：Very polite staff and great food in the restaurant. That was really the reason of my second stay at Hostal Esperanza. Can only recommend the Hostal Esperanza!

Review 10：Cosy, individual Spanish Hostal with spotlessly clean rooms and superbly located across the road from the Sea. Easy parking and great facilities with a large Swimming Pool. We had a room (33) with Sea Views. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Review 11：Wifi was for common areas only, not available in the room. The bed a bit small for two, mini bar would be great in the room.

Review 12：Basic accommodation, but neat and clean. Just across the beach, the swimming pool is also a big plus.

Review 13：Nothing we would book this hotel again in an instant. In fact we tried but it was booked up.

Review 14：Great location right on the beach. This area is a hidden gem. From want we could see every room had a sea view

Review 15：Didn't have a fridge in the room but they let us use one somewhere else. Not much English spoken in the restaurant, but nothing to worry about. Wifi was a bit weak.

Review 16：Awesome location just across the road from the beach. Free parking. Nice pool. Reasonably priced restaurant. Nice beach.

Review 17：Nothing.

Review 18：Went to be located on the coast for some triathlon training. Great location right on the beach. Very clean & tidy. Helpful staff. Decent pool area. Good restaurant. Safe and secure for parking.

Review 19：couldn't pick up wi-fi in the room or on the terrace . could have done with another pillow.

Review 20：nice pool, restaurant,very helpful young receptionist, close to the beach, private parking. very reasonably priced.

Review 21：The basic room didn't have a phone or refrigerator. The TV and shower were tiny. We couldn't find the WiFi connection. I guessed that it was unplugged or something. We didn't need it but it would have been nice to have.

Review 22：The location was great. Very close to places to eat. Just across from a quiet beach. Free Parking in the back that was only full once in the mid afternoon but there was a place to park just across the street. We took our two Yorkshires and they were very welcomed there. The housekeeper even made friends with them. She was so nice and even said goodbye to them when we were leaving. We had a room with a balcony with a view of the ocean. It was a great room, a little basic but we managed. The pool was nice too.

Review 23：The pillow was one long one which we shared.

Review 24：The location was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the meals were excellent value. There is no fridge in the room but the prices of drinks from the bar are so cheap that we didn't need a fridge.

Review 25：Staff were so friendly and helpful , the room was good and the showers great , although the weather let us down the children even managed a swim in the pool ! Just opposite the sea the location is good too .

Review 26：No hot water available in our first rooms. In the second rooms the heating didn't work, and lights didn't work. Balcony door didn't lock. Grounds run down and unkept. Trash floating in the pool

Review 27：The kind young woman employee who made our stay tolerable

Review 28：Some local activity noise - but having said that, it was noce to watch the 'locals' go about their daily business.

Review 29：Clean simple accommodation in good location - right across the road from the beach.

Review 30：the only problem was a waterproof matress cover and as it was hot was not that comfortable the second night we took it off

Review 31：most things the food in the restaurant was good big helpings had a sea view with a balcony so could see the sun rise beautifull

Review 32：A shelf in the shower would useful.

Review 33：Quiet area & close to the sea. The hostel has a very good bar/cafe serving a wide selection of tapas & raciones. There is a good sized pool and terraces plus parking.

Review 34：Nothing

Review 35：Cleanliness of the rooms, friendliness of the staff,location across the road from the beach, quiet location in a small Spanish resort, basic room and only a one star hotel but ideal for the price

Review 36：very simple hotel, no services beyond clean room + swimming pool, but that can be enough for some days at the beach with small children

Review 37：swimming pool, proximity to the beach, restaurant at the hotel

Review 38：Shabby sun loungers and umbrellas at pool. Minimal comforts. Very 1970s feel to upholstery. Very few attractions or eating establishments in area.

Review 39：Easy access to beach. Clean room. Nice pool.

Review 40：I chose this based on other reviews but I do not like the town. It wasfull of people mainly locals who were not friendly, hardly anyone spokeEnglish and when I did they just looked at me strangely. The beach wascrowded not as much as down at Malaga but still crowded. Also the hotelrestaurant does not have a meal of the day any more in fact the smallbowl of soup I had was 5.50 euros and it was not good - no breadprovided with it either. The bed was very hard, no hot water one morningand no reception person speaking English to assist. I heard the personnext door snoring loudly all night!

Review 41：The pool was clean and quite large with sun beds and umbrellas. Thebreakfast in the restaurant was good and one waitress was quite friendlyand helpful.

Review 42：Language barrier at Reception.

Review 43：Our flight was a night flight and therefore we had to get out of the villa we had been staying in, so I booked a room for the night to store luggage for 10 people so that we could also shower and change before leaving Spaing. Very good value for money. Excellent location.

Review 44：Loved this place wanted a quite relaxed holiday and it ticked every box. We had booked to stay 7 days and arrived a day earlier they never said anything untill we were checking out. We were staying 8 days but they were fine about it. Had a few problems as neither of us spoke spanish and staff spoke very little english. We still had a great time

Review 45：Until we figured out the air-conditioning, the room was a little warm ... Look for the remote to adjust temperature and you'll be fine.

Review 46：Very sweet hotel ... Across the street from an almost empty beach (in July!!!), great restaurant in front, beautiful ocean view from our balcony. Parrots in the trees, lovely helpful staff (although little English spoken), secure parking behind a closed gate, or on street ... What's not to like?

Review 47：The only negative is we could have done with another pillow !

Review 48：Great location, helpful staff, good food . Our flight was at night and they were happy for us to stay until 8 pm for no extra charge.

Review 49：The sliding door to balcony couldn't be locked (lock broken) but it has shutters. Front door shuts but I couldn't lock. Otherwise place feels safe and keeps good security.

Review 79：WiFi is quite weak, so access to the Internet sometimes may be a problem. It would be better if rooms were equipped with at least small refrigerator. Only one lady from the reception staff speaks English.

Review 80：Cosy hotel in a nice quiet place on the beach. Friendly staff. Free parking for the guests. Cafe-reustarant is open from early morning until late night without siesta. Nice swimming pool on the territory equipped with sun-beds and parasols.

Review 81：We enjoyed the nice swimming pool, local atmosphere and the beautiful beach right next to the hostel. Staff was friendly - Which helped as both our skills in Spanish language, and theirs in English, were very limited. The restaurant was good, as demonstrated by the number of locals present at the bar.

Review 82：The stuff was very friendly. We had a problem with our rented car and they helped us to manage the situation with our provider (none of us speaks Spanish fluently). Apart from that, the place is very clear, there's a private parking (free of charge) and it's 2 minutes walk from the beach.

Review 84：Easy to find coming from Malaga airport. Good size (family) room. Free parking space behind closed fence. Friendly staff. Good location near the beach. Very nice hot shower.

Review 85：There was obviously NO soundproofing between rooms when building was constructed. It would be very noisy in peak season, but as very few staying whilst we were there it was not too bad.

Review 86：Location was good on the seafront. It also had private parking. A good typical Spanish bar/restaurant was attached to the hotel, full of locals and provided a traditional Spanish menu. Good as a stopover.

Review 87：The sprig box mattress was old and we slided to the center. Next time I will ask for two separated beds

Review 88：Good restaurant good room good balcony good swimming pool

Review 90：Perfect kitchen in the restaurant in the hotel. Cheap and very good food.

Review 91：There was no air conditioning in the second bedroom which was very uncomfortable. The double bed only had one oversized pillow which was difficult to share between 2 people. The bed was uncomfortable.

Review 92：Very clean. Nice location. Pool was perfect. Great restaurant. Cleaning staff very friendly.

Review 93：Very good location close to the beach. Friendly staff. The room is equipped by all necessary facilities. Free private parking. Swimming pool. Many cafes close by.

Review 94：No fridge in room but not a problem drinks are so cheap (2 Euro for a pint), small TV, also not a problem we were not there to sit in the room watching TV! Busy at weekends, but still relatively quiet.

Review 95：Booked 3 nights and stayed 5 it was so enjoyable, lovely pool area plenty of lounge chairs, friendly staff who were very patient with us as non Spanish speaking, great restaurant (cheap drinks, great meals - go for the meal of the day a bargain at 7.50 Euro for 3 courses!), bargain priced rooms, a wonderful relaxing stay. A fabulous vacation!

Review 96：If your room faces to the see and located above the restaurant (pub) belongs to the hotel be prepared to noise till around midnight and from 7am in the morning.

Review 97：It is very close to the beach. Only 30 meters. The staff is very friendly. Free parking belongs to the hotel. It has a private swimming pool as well.

Review 98：Benajarafe and Hostal is a weekend favourite with the Spanish, busy but, surprisingly, not too noisy. Language skills would be an advantage.

Review 100：The stuff doesn't speak English. There were some problems with paying by credit card.

Review 101：Very good hostal in a quite town Benajarafe. Double rooms are rather big and facing the sea. Single room is small. Wi-fi works in the main corpus and at the balconies of the second building. There is a good cafe also called Esperanza near the hostal.
