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

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!!!

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.

No sé le puede dar ni un punto. Pedimos que nos devolvieran el dinero, al menos nos lo devolvieron, nos vimos en la calle y sin un lugar donde quedarnos pero mejor en la calle que allí. Todos los comentarios se quedan cortos. Es más que cutre. Es un lugar de mala muerte, sin reformas, viejo, mal decorado, sucio, ninguna higiene.... Si pasara un inspector de sanidad por allí lo cerraría sin duda.

Les draps n'étaient pas très propres (taches), il n'y a pas de rideaux occultants, on entend les personnes dans le couloirs comme s'ils étaient dans la chambre. la décoration est vieillotte. seul point positif l'hôtel est très bien situé dans la vieille ville

No hay palabras para describir semejante horror, empezando por decir que debería estar clausurado es deprimente la sorpresa nada más llegar al hostal fueron angustiosas impotencia de no poder actuar en ese momento quedamos en shock no podíamos dar crédito a lo que veíamos y nos ofrecían, llegar a la habitación es toda una odisea subir por una escalera tortuosa para volver a quedar shock cuando abrimos la puerta no podíamos dar crédito a lo que estábamos viendo , "una pocilga asquerosa maloliente a humedad falta de limpieza y salubridad". Dormimos vestidos encima la cama por cierto asquerosas al igual que paredes, baño y aseo. La instalación eléctrica imposible describir tercermundista ......... Abandonos la habitación con las primeras horas del amanecer. Esta es la experiencia de nuestra estancia en semejante antro.

Das einzig positive ist die Lage direkt in der Altstadt. Das Hostal ist in einem desolaten Zustand, im Nassraum (Bad) hängen die Kabel von der Decke herunter - statt der Lampen. Die Toilette hat kein Licht, nur einen Bewegungsmelder. Die Dusche hatte kaum warmes Wasser und war dreckig. Das Zimmer ging Richtung Innenhof, man hat alles gehört. Es gab keinerlei Ablage, weder im Bad noch im Zimmer. Ich musste um wenigstens etwas Ablage bitten. Die Aussage war, dass das Hostal in Reparatur sei, es sieht aber so aus, als sei schon seit Jahren nichts gemacht worden. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen.
