What guests think

Reviews of Hostal Larios describe a budget-friendly stay with an exceptionally central location near Calle Larios, consistently friendly staff, generally clean rooms, and a few quirks like small layouts and occasional street or hallway noise.

Several guests were assigned studios or apartments in nearby buildings, which some found convenient but made check-in and directions a bit confusing. Room comfort varies: many are compact, some share bathrooms, and a few mention weak Wi-Fi. Expect a simple, central base best for short city stays.

Booked two nights in Hostal Larios because it is at the end of the street with a Christmas light show, but got relocated to a room in a different location by the host. Had to pick up and deliver keys in the reception on the 3rd floor on Calle Larios, so got a bit of walking exercise. Struggled a bit with finding the correct entrance to our room at first due to heavy traffic and no available parking in the street. Not all staff speak/ understand English very well. The room we got, had four (!) beds, microwave and fridge. But only glasses, and no boiler, so had to buy cutlery to get use of the microwave. We were surrounded by noices from other rooms and the traffic, but we got our sleep ok. Great breakfast place (Tost) on ground floor.

We are a couple from England visiting Malaga and found this hotel good value for money. The check-in was quite confusing as you had to go into a huge building and up to the third floor and then ring on a bell to get to a check-in desk. The lady there didn't speak too much English but was extremely friendly. We had an ensuite room and had to walk 4 minutes back across the city to get there with only a piece of paper and the name of the building. It would have been great to get specific instructions on where the place is. The room was clean and spacious and had a balcony, it was on the 7th floor so had good views. When we were checking out we were permitted to leave our bags in the main hotel building and they even offered us to use their shower facilities/bathroom later that day. I would highly recommend this place for budget travellers!

Guter Standort mitten in der Stadt. Hostal befindet sich im dritten Stock. Es gibt keinen Schlüssel für den Eingang. Es muss geläutet werden, danach wird Einlass gegeben. Mein Himmer war etwas eng und Bad/WC im Gang.

Be careful not to book the room without bath, because it is next to reception and going on the loo late is going to be awkward. The place is in renovations, at least the entrance. I general the staff is super friendly and check in works good. Just book a room with bathroom. The location is very central which is nice.

Location is the best aspect of this hostal. Then, it's a small room. Depending on the room, you can hear voices from time to time. But overall, recommended if you visit Málaga a couple of days and you're on a budget.

The hotel is located in the town of Nerja, which is close both to the seashore and mountains (I also wanted to do some hiking). There is free parking either next to the hotel or 200m away. Big minus is that my stay was not very resting. First because the bed was very uncomfortable and I ended up with back pain. Then because there is poor sound insulation and some guests were very noisy. Finally, the breakfast was very basic. It was serve in an inner yard, which could be nice if it was not ruined by people smoking there.
