Hostal Sol Y Miel

We stayed 7 nights at Sol y Miel. Sol y Miel is brilliantly placed 2 minutes walk from the station and local transport. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars on the doorstep. A slow walk to the beach is roughly 10 minutes away through the beautiful park but a much longer walk backb up in the heat. However lots of taxis are available to take you back up for €6' ish. We have stayed at Sol y Miel 4 times now, not just for the location but also the friendly, helpful staff. There is a bar and you can have a breakfast in the morning, whatever time you rise. The rooms are clean and comfortable with newly refurbished bathrooms. The shower was always powerful and hot. We would give 5 stars if a hairdryer and fridge were in the room. However, this wouldn't prevent us staying again.

A hostel with a hotel vibe, which has been very well renovated and offers a pleasant stay in the center of Benalmádena. The beach is about 15 minutes away and, although it does not have a pool, it is a highly recommended option both for summer vacation and for getting to know the city center well. Correct and friendly service, good cleanliness and in general comfort in sleeping, although some pillows are too hard.

Despite arriving just before midnight we were greeted with a welcome smile and friendly face. Very efficient check-in (we had a reservation). I had stayed here previously and was pleasantly surprised that the bar/breakfast area had been reformed to a high standard. Despite the late hour we were still able to order a drink (nightcap) from the bar. On entering the bedroom once again I was surprised that the room had also received an element of reform from my previous visits. The room (410) however has contained within a cupboard a boiler that presumably serves other rooms as we were woken by the noise of the boiler refilling. Annoying at 7.00am but I suppose other guests get up earlier than us! Great location, good value for money. We would definitely stay again but in a room without a boiler! 😄
