Hostal Tres Soles

Ideal location and beautifully clean. Rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels. My only negative is my choice of room. I chose an inner courtyard view. My balcony faced a wall with creeping plants on it so was very dark. However i didnt go to spend time in my room so for our short stay it was ok. Room 3. If I was to return Id def choose a sea view room.

The room was small but clean and so close to all the attractions. Highly recommend

The room is nice and it’s a good location. The biggest problem I have is very poor internet in my room. The only time it works constantly is early in the morning or very late at night. I have to leave the room and stand by the stairwell or go down to the lobby to contact friends. The staff is blaming my phone but I don’t have any problems at restaurants and bars connecting to their WiFi. Also I’ve been around France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy with no problems so I’m pretty sure my phone is not the issue. I would stay away from room 24 if your thinking of staying here.

Greeted by a smiling lady at the reception who took us to the room. Nothing to much trouble for the hotel for them. Location was great, no need to walk miles to shops and bars. Never used the beach but near enough to go. Will certainly use again.

Great location in town with a large pay for car park close by. Easy booking in across the road. Very small room but very clean and comfortable with a great shower. Some noise from outside and also from fellow guests walking about upstairs at 5.30 am.

In Spain there are hostels and hostals; the latter is similar to a hotel or guest-house. A hostel (with an "e") is a youth hostel in anywhere, as I understand. Now we have that sorted-out, this review may help you to ‘get-over’ any perceived stigma or embarrassment about staying in a hostal (potentially assumed to be a cheaper and lesser standard of accommodation). Our hostal was on the Carabeo Road; a stones-throw from the cultural centre of Nerja (the Balcon de Europa). Unfortunately the hostal was also adjacent to a large open-area variously used for events, including the ‘Nerja Feria’; a festival which is held in early October. When we booked we hadn’t realized it was festival week. A few days before flying-out we were advised of the festival, and given the opportunity to cancel (much appreciated, thanks). The noise was truly horrific and lasted all afternoon, evening and all throughout the night until about 5am. It was virtually impossible to sleep at night; we had to use earplugs, or otherwise grin and bear the constant noise. This is not where you would stay during the festival unless you are extremely hard of hearing, or a heavy sleeper, or you are intending to attend the festival. That was the only seriously bad issue here, mostly it was otherwise good or very good. We booked a double room with en suite bathroom/WC. The bed (actually beds) however were two separately sheeted single beds pushed together. The Wi-Fi was inconsistent and failed at various times despite, we were told by the very kind and attentive management staff, a substantial investment in what appeared to be a Mesh or Wi-Fi booster system. The English speaking staff were in an office right next-door to our hostal, other hostals owned by Tre Soles (Three Suns) are also situated on the Carabeo Road. There are two more: one with smaller rooms ideal for shorter stays, and the other with, I understood, apartments with great sea-views. In our room the bathroom generally was great: the shower was fantastic, the plumbed-in hairdryer was excellent, but the bidet tap was a bit over-enthusiastic, the basin tap conversely was slow, and the sink plug was very difficult to remove: ideally it needs a chain (or maybe pliers should be provided). In the main room there was very efficient remotely operated air-conditioning, a remotely-operated TV with just local channels (very, very occasionally in English), a fridge (essential to keep drinking water cold; we drank 1.5 liters a day in our room), plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, there was also a desk and a bench-chair, plus bedside cabinets with table lamps, and an occasional comfortable armchair. The room was serviced every day to a high standard, but the air-conditioner, and the extractor fan in the bathroom, badly need to be cleaned. Direct access was possible from our room (No. 23) via French Windows to the back garden with patio tables, chairs and parasol provided. Other rooms had access to the back garden via a
