Hostal Kokkola

The walls are thin, so once there are more guests you can hear a lot. During my week-long off-season stay, Saturday night was the only time I woke up, because of neighbors moaning and banging. Bring sleeping pills if you're a light sleeper and someone next door snores. It was otherwise very quiet, and the neighborhood felt safe. There's plenty of parking, and you can walk to Fuengirola. The hostel is lovely, with terraces and shared facilities including a microwave, tea and coffee, and plastic cutlery for eating there. It was spotless, and the service was unbeatable. They handled my requests quickly and efficiently, and even helped with a problem in my Booking.com reservation when another place might not have. The price was very reasonable for the quality. I stayed a week for sightseeing and would recommend it for a longer visit or a stopover. I'll definitely return to Fuengirola and stay there again.

The shared areas have vending machines, coffee and tea makers, plus information about places to eat and visit. The staff were always welcoming, and they even let me bring along a cactus cutting I'd fallen in love with. The room was lovely and clean, with air-conditioning, a roomy bathroom, and a window looking onto the pool patio. It's in a very quiet neighborhood where street parking is easy to find. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is there. Thanks so much, I'd happily come back.

We've been coming to Fuengirola for the festivals since 2019, and we always stay here. The terrace is lovely for relaxing with a coffee, and I hope to return soon. As always, the rooms, cleanliness, and quiet were wonderful, and the owners are so welcoming. It feels like home. I really recommend it.

I can't reply directly to hostel reviews, so I'm responding on behalf of my travel companion, who wrote earlier. The rooms were very clean and the staff were helpful on the phone, but they weren't there in person during our stay. They're small, and the place is far from the city center and public transport. The seafront and the public transport drop-off are 1000m away, which is a long walk with luggage. Being two minutes from the neighborhood square doesn't help much either, since most services there are closed on weekends. I booked by mistake, thinking it was the same place I'd stayed at before, but it wasn't. In my opinion, it's expensive for what's offered.
