Opinions about Hostels in Salobreña
Hostel Hayma
It is located right in the heart of Salobrena, so everything is just a short walk away. The staff was incredibly attentive, and they made sure I felt comfortable by taking care of every little detail.
The place has a beautiful Andalusian-style terrace with an amazing view of the castle, and the rooms are really well-equipped. I especially appreciated having a mini fridge and a coffee machine in the room, they were super handy!
There's also a convenient spot right outside the entrance where you can park to unload your suitcases, which made things so much easier.
Tranquility and comfort without luxuries
Hostal San Juan is a good choice if you're looking for a peaceful stay right in the center of town. It's tucked away on a quiet street, so you won't have to worry about any noise or traffic keeping you up at night.
The hostel is very clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with beds that ensure a good night's sleep.
I also loved the decor, it's done in a charming Andalusian style, with rooms arranged around a bright, central courtyard. There are also cozy little corners with sofas and books where you can relax and unwind.
The value for money is quite reasonable. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a restful stay.
