The reception staff were very friendly & helpful. We were lucky enough to get one of their few underground parking spaces and they helped us organise that.
We chose a room overlooking the interior courtyard as it was quieter than one facing the street.
The room was spacious, clean & with a good shower.
The air conditioning worked well & was much needed as we stayed during a heatwave.
The hotel is perfectly placed for the beach and for the numerous restaurants around the Fish Alley area.
We would recommend this hotel as it is as good as some of the more expensive hotels nearby.

Sinon, pour tout le reste, parfait pour un séjour de 4 nuits. Le stationnement privé à côté de l’hôtel pour 9 euro par nuit c’est un plus. A 150 mts de la plage.

A cell

The room was dark, the sheets didn’t fit the bed, and no outside window. No English TV and the battery had run out in the remote.
It was like being in a cell.

I tried to get moved but they said they were full. Not helpful at all.

The breakfast was not worth €3. One bread roll, one orange juice, one coffee.

Reception supposed to be open 24 hours but was still in shutdown mode even after 6 a.m.

It's a great place. very welcoming, lovely bed, great shower, nice people. They do a simple breakfast for only 3Euro. It's 50 yards from the restaurants.
The only downside is a bit of noise late at night, from people going home. But we thought that was worth being in the middle of town.
I would really recommend it as a place to stay, and would certainly re-book there when we go back.

Good location

Good check in and check out. Friendly staff. Room kept very clean and towels changed regularly. Location very good and central. My only problem was the sound proofing within the hotel. I think my room was next to owners rooms therefore I was woken up every morning at about 6.30am when the person got up to presumably prepare breakfast and also when night porter? came up at around 1.30am. I could hear furniture being moved nearby at these times too. That was my only issue as I had come for a quiet break and sadly that wasn't achieved on this trip.

The hotel room was simply furnished but clean. The location is great, within a short walk to the beach, shops and some excellent restaurants and lots of bars. The staff were very friendly and helpful and reception staff spoke quite a bit of English. They have allocated parking spaces in an underground car park next door which is much cheaper than the main public car parks. The only negative comment I have is that there were people smoking in the reception/entrance/bar area at times which I found very unpleasant.

Excellent Location - Central Fuengirola -Great B&B

The Hostal Italia is great for all visitors. It's centrally located behind the port. Near to the train station & bus station. It is family run & extremely clean & tidy. The staff don 't all speak English, but then why shud they?? They are all happy to help with enquiries about the town & facilities. My room was very small, but had everything I needed. I was in Rm 206 which is a single, no balcony. It is compact, but clean & for what I paid was more than adequate.
There is a roof terrace on the 4th floor for drying laundry & beach towels - so not having a balcony is no problem.
Free Wifi is available in the public areas of the Hostal & it is a good connection.
I would recommend this B & B to anyone wanting a spotless, central guest house. DON'T be put 0ff by the 'Hostal' title as in Spain this simply means B & B.
