Very simple place but exactly what I wanted. Quiet but in the very centre of Mijas..the instructions to get there could be better (not everyone arrives by car!) and it was a bit disconcerting that there were no staff on duty but it was easy to understand how to get in but

Loved our stay here, ideal location just off one of the small squares of Mijas with an abundance of bars and restaurants on your doorstep and spectacular views all around!
On arrival we had a friendly check in and our room was really spacious with a Juliet balcony, twin beds and a large day bed and it was absolutely spotless. The style and decor is very spanish and traditional which matches the village perfectly.
Bathroom was spacious too and again spotlessly clean. We only stayed two nights which was enough to explore Mijas and we'd highly recommend.

Fabulous location walkable to everything, but be prepared to carry your luggage up hill and many steps. And once you get there, the building does not have a lift. If you are able to do the stairs, we did have a nice balcony with a view of the Mediterranean. Room quite small, but okay for one or two nights. We would stay here again.

Hidden Gem - in several ways

We were delighted with this little hotel and would consider it a true hidden treasure - in several respects: as other reviews have mentioned, it is a bit tricky to find. Park in the main municipal, multi-level garage (for a bargain price of 1E per day) and then make your way up the hill. As soon as the narrowing street opens up, look to your left for the blue H sign. Follow it around the corner and there you are! Simple rooms, strong wi-fi, fine beds and pillows, and a spotlessly clean bathroom with a great shower. Our room (#8) had both town and sea views off the balcony. Loved our stay. Excellent value for the money.

It was tricky to find and if you have heavy luggage there are many stairs to climb. In a great location. We stayed one night on the way back to the airport and it was perfect for this.

Comfort and cleanliness

I loved staying here (once I found it). I had lovely room, room 6, with a sea view and a comfortable double bed. There was a small mini bar, very reasonably priced, the staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is located at the end of a little street off the square and when I eventually found it I realised that there are blue hostel signs pointing out it's location. Hope to stay again.

We have stayed at Escudo on a number of occasions and it has always suited us perfectly. It is really well priced and you can get some good deals on rooms. It is right in the heart of Mijas and is a 2 minute walk to the nearest little square with loads of restaurants and bars nearby.

El Escudo de Mijas is a somewhat-hidden gem in a fascinating part of a fascinating town. It's just behind (and around the corner) from a beautiful plaza with a graceful fountain, ringed by restaurants with excellent and moderately-priced food, and a lively-yet-relaxed atmosphere. For me, the only part of the experience that was difficult was finding it - I recommend frequently asking local folks how to get there. Near the tourist office, take the elevator that rises from the main square to the top, then go to the Plaza de la Constitucion - on it's left, follow a sidewalk in front of some businesses, then go up and around on some stairs (but getting there is easier said than done). Nonetheless, having the hotel tucked away like that means it's very quiet. The service was very friendly, the interior has comforting colors and attractive art, our room was large and comfy, and the terrace - wow! A few glasses of wine on that terrace at sunset led to a memorable experience that will bring big smiles to my face for years to come.

Lovely hostel/hotel Mijas pueblo

Great affordable place to experience Mijas Pueblo. The hostel was very comfortable and clean more like a hotel with air conditioning and all the facilities like a hotel, just no restaurant and breakfast for food but ideal to go out and experience the area. Food is expensive in the old village area but if you venture (less than 10 min walk) just outside of the main village area to the local Spanish tapas bars it's an experience you will truly treasure.

Pleasant central location

The establishment was broadly as described in the brochures. It is not a hotel, it is a Hostel. There are no meals, the advertised coffee machine has a charge (not mentioned in brochures) and is prone to jamming. There are no resident staff which is a significant safety risk. Some of the reception staff have almost no English. The room was comfortable, efficiently air conditioned and with a balcony. Lower rooms do not have balconies. The bathroom was very clean, daily serviced and well equipped. There is no lift which could be difficult for elderly visitors yet the brochure does not mention this.

Do not plan to check out early

A great location right in the middle of this very quaint village. The views are wonderful, especially on the roof. Rooms are nice size and very clean. Yes the parking is a bit of a walk but the price is right. No elevator so plan on not being in a hurry. The town doesn't come to life until 9:00 AM so if you want breakfast or coffee before then your choices are very limited. Other than that, you are in the middle of all the restaurants and shopping. If you plan on leaving before 10:30 in the morning be sure to pay the night before as there is no one there to check you out. Would come back again.
