    One could hear the unpleasant sound of sewages and toilets of the people in the adjacent rooms. The fan switch was connected to the room light. If you wanted the ceiling fan working, the light must be on too.

    There was 2 main things that I would highlight here, otherwise the hostal would me amazing. Room: the window was looking on somekind of gap between houses. So there was not much fresh air. Mold: there was mold in the bathroom, and you could smell it strongly everytime when you entered to the room.

    The hostal would be great, our main problem was with the mold. (details in the "negative" part) Location: was great, just 1 minute walk from one the main streets. 5 minutes walk from the beach. Communication: was good, they always answered me. The english communication in live was not the best, but we understanded each other :) Room: the room was like in the pictures, beside two things. (details in the below part) Services: they was very nice, when I ask for an extra blanket beacuse it was cold, they did not hesitate to give one.

    The room had a strange smell because it didn't have any windows connected to the outside. The bathroom also didnt have any privacy as the doors didnt close properly.

    The location was really nice and close to the center, we easily found restaurantes and other places near by. The employes were also really nice.

    Apparently after 20:00 there is no one at the property, so the keys have been left at the room and there was a entrance code sent it, which is fine, but when we arrived we saw that there is construction undergoing from early morning and room was very very cold, no heater or AC, just a couple of blankets. I don’t mind late check in notice and the noise (for some though might be an issue), but it was freezing in February

    Hotel right in an old town of Marbella, arrived late at night and were surprised by the little streets, where you can wonder around and enjoy the old town vibe.

    There was a slight mouldy smell. I had the room right by the main door, so was slightly noisy.

    The room was clean but the bathroom was rather tired.

    The Monkey Room is a budget hotel, and although the staff are friendly and the hotel has a good location, the building is extremely tired

    The shower was blocked/ clogged and leaking. Putting that asid it was fine.

    Great location, very accessible and extremely comfortable bed. For the price it was good for value as we spent most of the time outside and when we were there we slept solidly. The walls are very thin though so you could hear every conversation.
