The rooms have been recently up graded, they are comfortable and very well presented. The owner Raul is very accommodating and the staff are very good.
I enjoyed my stay at the Hostal Alhambra. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cleanliness of my room was excellent. The location is fantastic as the hostal is in that centre of town and less than 10 minutes to walk to the nearest beach. My room overlooked the Main street, but was very quiet inside. I will definitely be staying here again.

The accommodation in this place was exactly what we expected concerning its value for the given price. What definitely was a pleasant add-on, was the host's immense care and support. Thanks a lot!

The room was nice and with everything I needed during my stay. Air co was working, there was a balcony door with a very small balcony. Fridge included which was very nice too. The staff are nice and helpful.

Thank you very much, Jessica, for sending us your comments. We are glad to know that you have enjoyed your stay with us.
We liked everything mainly because it is very central, and just had to decide weather or not to turn left or right to go to restaurants or sites of interest. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Recommend the Alhambra.
Yours
Anne Bowers.

Dear Anna, we are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at our facilities.
We hope to see you again.
A little hard to find, it's in a business looking building. The hotel was decently clean and check-out was good. It's fine for a no-frills and safe stay. Pretty convenient location.
Near to town, room kept clean. Had efficient, quiet air con
Room was very small with balcony too small to sit on. There was a lot of noise outside on a couple of nights.
Hi this was our second time staying at hotel , the first was better but only because we had kingsize bed so next time woukd request a kingsize . Lovely hotel spotless , great value for money .

Dear Mr., C.P. You booked a double room with Courtyard View, this is the smallest room and with the cheapest price in our catalog, much requested to stay a few days.
Before your arrival, you made a balcony request in a message. We replied that the room you reserved DOES NOT HAVE A BALCONY, you also have the detailed description in the previous information for your reservation. The view is to the Andalusian style courtyard. However, he did offer a change to the room to "Superior with balcony or terrace" with exterior views, for the payment a small price difference, but you do not accept it, you wanted it for free, but do not recognize this! you hide in anonymity, but obviously we know perfectly well who you are "sir."
You don't tell the truth, when you state that you heard noise from a niteclub´s; this is a great contradiction because in the inner courtyard the silence is absolute, it is isolated from the outside. However, other guests have not complained about this and they paid for the rooms with beautiful exterior balconies. But yes some clients complained about you when you returned a few nights at 6 a.m., we also complained about you because you smoked in the room despite the ban.
We do not appreciate your visit. It is horrible sometimes to tolerate some behaviors, however we are happy to serve all our guests.
Greetings.
Dear David, we want to thank you for choosing our establishment for your holidays and for to take your time to answer the survey. For all employees, it is a pleasure to be able to receive your notification and this one encourage us to continue striving every day
Lovely Hotel, friendly, well presented and very clean. I would definitely stay again. There were communal tea and coffee making facilities. But the only thing I would have liked is a kettle in the room to make tea/coffee (I drink non-diary milk so buy my own anyway). :)

Dear Lauren, thank you very much for your comment and we take note of your suggestion. We want to inform you that we have kettle available under petition in our reception.We hope your visit again.
I had a realy nice stay at Hostal Alhambra. I stayed there for 6 nights and the room had everything I needed during my stay. Perfect area to have breakfast, lunch or dinner and to go out at night and have some fun! You can also easily walk to any spot in Nerja and price/quality wise it was my best option!

A lovely team make Alhambra a great place to stay, everyone smiled all day everyday. Don’t be put off by “hostel” the only thing that lacked was a pool however the beach was only 200m. I will definitely stay again when I pass that way.
Pleasant staff.comfortable room. Great shower. Brilliant coffee machine. Excellent cleanliness. No worries about any thing.

Convenient and comfortable budget hotel
We stayed for 5 nights. The hotel is located very conveniently in the heart of Nerja with some sea views down the road. On first impression outside it looks tired but once inside it's clean and smart. Reception and all staff very friendly. We booked a Superior double room with balcony, this gave us a view to the sea. The room was spotlessly clean but was not really as shown in photos. The bathroom is extremely small and with no ventilation smelt damp albeit decoratively it was fine. It also was advertised as soundproof, it was to outside but you could hear anyone at reception which is on the 1st floor and those in other rooms. We did find the single beds very comfy with spotless linen and we slept really well.
Towels replaced daily and room cleaned thoroughly every day.
This was a budget priced hotel, for what we paid the negatives have to be acceptable albeit maybe considered by the management. Would we use it and stay again? YES, which really says it all!!
Clean, comfortable, good position and great value.
Shows what quality you CAN get from a two star hotel. The room had a fridge, small balcony and was exceptionally clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and helpful. No complaints - would stay here again.
Moved from a five star rated hotel to a two star hostel, but do not let that put you off, great value for money, so clean, staff great, lovely room with balcony, small fridge and toiletries and clean towels each day. No restaurant or bar, but plenty within yards, and good cheap tapas bars within yards. Will go there again.
Just stayed here room 110, great sized room with balcony and sea view. Room was immaculate, bed really comfy, good quality bed linen. Free electronic room safe and fridge. Bathroom with bath and shower. Could not fault this accommodation and would definitely stay there again.
Close to balcony and beaches
A short break to a lovely town. Alhambra is a simple and straightforward hotel close to the town centre. Comfortable and clean. Great service from the staff. Will definately stay again.
Lovely staff very kind and helpful. English spoken. I strongly suggest springing the extra 10 bucks for a bigger and better room. The cheapies are small and can be depressing depending on the room you are offered. Also excellent location but avoid the restaurant downstairs unless it’s for drinks only.
Alojamiento cómodo, bien situado. El personal fue muy amable. Había aparcamiento en la calle. Convenientemente situado cerca de restaurantes y muy céntrico.
