Hostal the Monkey Room

Great service, amazing location, good price too considering we arrived during the festival. Bed very comfy. The shower was slightly broken but that was fine, we didn’t mind. Only main issue was the air con was very poor and did not really work. But overall, enjoyed the stay.

A great place to stay in the most central area in Marbella. The location is perfect and myself and my sister felt very safe here. The hotel itself is great value for money and had everything we needed for our 2 nights stay including a balcony overlooking the windy streets below. Great place would stay again and lovely sun deck on the top floor. Very cool atmosphere with boho theme throughout

Other than the location which is great, I cannot stress how grim the room was. Dirty bathroom, hairs everywhere In it plus the fact it has two showers physically in the shower - 1 was not plumbed in and was just hanging off the wall, the 2nd was the hand held which you had to hold as no working bracket. Towels not changed at all in our 5 day stay. The pillow was a lump of foam covered solely by a single ply sheet that had rips all the rough it. Room smelt musty. Toilet had a constant drip on it which is annoying as walls paper thin, tap in sink hanging off. Dirt on all the skirting board and generally looked very tired. I complained on first day to the lady who could not have looked any less bothered, I said I wasn’t happy and wanted our money back, she just kept grinning and saying it’s all paid for. (Don’t I know it!) it is cheap yes but unless you really aren’t bothered about hygeine etc stay away!!!

Well after sending multiple messages via WhatsApp to the owner and being ignored I think it's time to leave a review,I thought it fair to give the owners time to respond to my requests before leaving feedback. I got a late check in on a Thursday so key was left on reception for me which was fine and that's where the positive part of the review ends. Upon entering the room first thing I was hit with was the incredible bad smell,damp and musty smell,the bedding and pillows were damp to the touch,thought I'd pop the aircon on to warn the place through but only cold air so spent the night freezing cold and breathing in damp air just the worst night sleep ever. I know it was cheap but I couldn't actually stay there and had to get up and leave early in the morning (there is far better accommodation locally for same money),nobody on reception to complain to,so only form of contact was WhatsApp,tried emailing and telephoning but just no reply....completely ignored on every front......honestly look elsewhere it appalling.
