Hostal the Monkey Room

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

Not very nice accommodation, small, dirty and unattractive. Look elswhere. I left 3 days early due to the state of the room, unhygienic, dirt everywhere. On the second day room wasn't cleaned nor the towels changed. Linen is ingrained and looks off white as where some of the towels.

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!!!

Noisy room that looks like it has not been finished. There is no light switch next to the bed or table lights. Not bad for the price but please finish decorating the room.

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.

It was central, easy and casual. Good for going out to town or the beach.

The Monkey Room oli sijainniltaan loistava, mutta muuten vähän bussin alla. Pönttö ja suihku vuosivat vettä. Hotellihuoneessa oli saapuessamme mustia hiuksia lattialla ja sängyssä. Sänky oli suoraan seitin ohuen oven edessä joten kaikki kolinat muista huoneista ja käytävältä kuuluivat sisään. TV ei toiminut koko aikana ollenkaan. Ilmaiset hygieniatarvikkeet tarkoitti tässä tapauksessa saippuapusseja, likaista hammasharjaa ja puolikasta tuubia hammastahnaa.

This was the worst place i have ever stayed at. There are no lifts the stairs have no rails and are dangerous. There was no heat in the room the first night. There was no hot water in the sink. The walls are so thin inbetween the rooms that our nrighbors could hear us even though we were whispering. There was no breakfast as promised on the site and the site doesnt tell you that there is only a parling structure across the street that you have to pay for. We stayed for two nights the first night we were too exhausted to find another place. Yet the jotel charged us for the whole ten days. There was. O one at the front when we left early in the mor ing. We told them we would only stay for two nights and yet we were charged for ten. I will take this up with my bank. Never book a room in this place.

Very attentive kind hosts, conveniently centred in town centre, our family room had everything we needed apart from some cooking essentials, plates and bowls. I would come again!
