I misread previous reviews and was surprised to find a hostel not hotel, location was across the street to an empty beach, lovely people, very clean rooms, booked a private room, beds could be a little more comfortable, overall great experience.
I liked staying here. Felt like staying at someone's home. Clean and quiet room, comfortable bed, hot shower. Very nice and friendly staff, good homestyle reasonably priced breakfast.
Convenient and easy free private parking in front of hotel. 20 minutes brisk walk to Marbella center.
I would stay here again.

La propriétaire personne très accueillante,serviable,par contre le ménage des chambres pose problème,lit juste recouvert,poussière jamais faite,salle de bain très bâclé
Accueil parfait. Chambre impeccable et hôtel très bien situé proche a pied du port et de la vielle ville. Parking gratuit et ombragé devant l'hôtel. La Tia est très sympa, bon contact avec les clients. Petit déjeuner très correcte. Je le recommande vivement et espère pouvoir y retourner.
Ik kwam laat aan en ging toen douchen. Er werd aan de deur geklopt dat er mensen gingen klagen. Nooit meer een hostel voor mij. Ik wil kunnen douchen wanneer ik dat wil. Personeel wel heel aardig en gastvrij
Parking inclus, literie confortable, chambre avec balcon.. excellent rapport qualité prix !
Plage de sable fin à 3 mn, resto de plage bounty beach sympa et raisonnable.
Super pied à terre pour visiter les alentours !
Accueil chaleureux et familial, nous y reviendrons avec plaisir.
Super Unterkunft, sauber, freundliches Personal und günstige Lage. 1-2 min. zu Fuß zum Strand! Mit eigenem kleinen Gartenrestaurant, Super leckeres Essen. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Super séjour d'une semaine en août 2018. Gentillesse du personnel. Dans les chambres, tous les équipements indispensables sont présents. Parking disponible et plage à 2 min à pied. Je recommande.
está bien ubicado respecto a la playa, un poco alejado del centro, muy tranquilo y muy amables y serviciales en la atención,,buena limpieza y excelente trato.
Heel fijn en gezellig familiehostal. Warm, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Mooie uitgangspositie om dingen te ondernemen. Veel is lopend te doen. Beetje druk verkeer, dus vraag kamer aan de achterzijde. Enigszins verouderd, maar de familie, netheid en compleetheid maakt alles goed.

Gemütliches, persönliches Hotel
Gemütliches, kleines Hotel am Ortseingang von Marbella, nur 1 Minute zu Fuß zum Strand. Wir hatten ein 2-Bett-Zimmer nach hinten gelegen, so dass man nichts von der Straße gehört hat. Die Einrichtung ist zwar alt, aber das hatte Charme. Alles war sehr sauber. Die Bequemlichkeit der Betten war in Ordnung, man darf aber kein "Himmelbett" erwarten. Vom Balkon hatte man einen skurrilen Ausblick, da das Hotel am Rande eines Gewerbegebiert liegt, sah man viele Hallen und Hinterhöfe, allerdings ragten im Hintergrund die nahe gelegenen Berge auf. Direkter Fußweg in die Altstadt ca. 20 Minuten, schöner aber auch etwas länger ist der Weg über die Promenade (beginnt ein paar hundert Meter vom Hotel entfernt. Parken gratis vorm Hotel.

Märkligt läge i industriområde men superfint när man kommer över den hårt trafikerade vägen och ner på stranden. Fin strand med väldigt bra restauranger. Hotellet litet och familjärt där man gör sitt yttersta för trivseln.
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights as we were going to a wedding about 20 mins from the place and we were really pleased with the hotel especially with how cheap it was. The family that run the place we're so friendly and welcoming, we strongly advise to try their barbecue on an evening as it was absolutely beautiful, the room we stayed in was clean and cool and beds were comfy. They let me borrow a hair dryer and iron free of charge and they were really helpful in telling us where places were. Marbella town is a 5 minute taxi drive and is such a beautiful place. We will definitely be going back!!
The staff is friendly and the hotel is in a good location....I found the bed a little old....could feel the springs.....Although this is quite common at this price point in my experience, premium beds come at premium prices. We had two single beds, even though we are a couple..this seems quite common in Spain as well.
Week end prolongé perturbé par météo défavorable. Hôtel éloigné du centre et dans un quartier industriel. Potentiel non mis en valeur, mais accueil cordial.

Für Kurzurlaub zu empfehlen
Letzter Stopp auf unserer Andalusien Rundreise in Marbella. Wichtig war das unser Auto sicher untergestellt ist und eine gute Verkehrsanbindung mit Bus besteht. Trifft voll zu. Das Hotel liegt am einer Hauptstraße, die Zimmer sind jedoch ruhig. Die Altstadt ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Für ein paar Nächte ok, länger würden wir dort nicht bleiben wollen.
Tres bon accueil, petite terrasse privative par chambre, parking gratuit, terrasse sympa. Le seul bémol est que la salle de bain a besoin d'un bon coup de jeune.

Hotel El Tío Mateo i Marbella
Trevlig familj som driver hotellet. Du beställer vad du vill äta till frukost och middag och de tillagar en gudomlig mat för dig för inga pengar alls. De talar engelska och italienska, vilket var perfekt för mig som talar italienska.
Es un hotel acojedor. Muy positivo que tiene parking privado incluido en el precio. Es sencillo aunque comodo y mas que suficiente para un fin de semana, si no buscas grandes lujos.
