Look, this hotel isn’t The Ritz, it’s a budget hostal, you get what you pay for, but it’s very clean and functional, the staff are lovely and very accommodating, the location is in the very busy “fish alley” area, less than a 10 minute walk from the railway station, 200m to the beach and harbour. I didn’t use the bar or food area so I can’t comment on that. It had a sun terrace with outside seating, the water was hot and the A/C was cold. It’s everything I needed for a short 5 night stay, at the price I was happy to pay. I would definitely stay again.

Like every other Spanish hostal I’ve used over the years, it can be a bit noisy late at night with people returning to the hostal after being out on the town, this is more due to the heavy wooden doors/furniture and marble floors than the guest being deliberately noisy, I didn’t expect The Italia to be any different. I’m not criticising, I’m just stating a fact so fellow travellers are aware this is how it is..

The Hotel Italia is an extremely economical choice in Fuengirola. if we ever plan on visiting the area again we will be staying there. It puts the big hotels we have stayed in along the Costa Del Sol in the shade, staff are friendly, rooms are clean, the air conditioning actually cools the room down, breakfast is inexpensive, location is great only minutes from the beach and near bars and restaurants in town. There is a lounge area and outdoor patio for guests which we sat in to read our book or play cards.

We had to go to reception to borrow a hairdryer as there wasn't one in the room, but that is a minor issue compared to all the other great things the hotel has to offer.

I loved the staff as they were extremely friendly and the hostel is always immaculate. Great location for food and the beach. The bedroom has a comfortable bed and older furniture, but the bathroom was immaculate with a toilet, bidet, sink and powerful shower. I will definitely stay there again and I had an amazing stay.

I didn't like my bed being broken the evening I arrived but the hotel owner immediately fix it the next morning.

Great location, 5 minute walk from the train station and 100m from the beach front. It’s a budget hotel so it’s not The Ritz but it’s clean, well run, the beds are comfortable, the water is hot and the air con is cold, it’s everything I needed.

Being in the middle of “fish alley” it can get a bit noisy late at night, this isn’t a criticism of the hotel it’s self, just letting you know of its location

Don't be put off as they advertise it as a hostal, but really its a simple hotel. Where it was located (2 mins from beach/ restaurants etc.) and what you got for its cost was great. I was a solo traveller, so single small room (internal). The bed was comfortable, it had a decent bathroom and the room had aircon. It was cleaned, bed made and towels changed daily. There was a basic breakfast (coffee, juice and toast) if you wanted for €3. What most could you ask tbh. Would def stay again

Nothing really. Only thing you need to know about, it was a internal room with a window (which I kept closed & curtained because of the corridor movements), so no ouside view (streetside) or light. Totally no problem with that, and the staff did inform me of that before I arrived.

Excellent Location, Very clean, staff excellent, basic accommodation but more than met our expectations, only toast and coffee for breakfast but was excellent especially the coffee and the toast for that matter, cannot fault this place and location is second to none, if you are looking for basic cost effective accommodation look no further

This is not a complaint but Wifi is only available in the reception and not in the rooms, so be aware you have to sit in reception for Wifi but it is a pleasant comfy reception

The staff were excellent Peter was the first I meet And was so helpful and welcoming.

I was only left 2 towels. The first lady left me 4 towels every morning until another cleaning Lady removed them and left one small and one large which was a bit disappointing.

our first room wasn't well maintained, so we asked for a change. the second room was ok. The location is very central and might be noisy on weekends.

Wifi doesn't work at corner units at floors 3 and 4.

The breakfast was continental, great value for money. The location is ideal, so close to everything you need. The beach, bars and restaurants.

My only slight complaint would be the WiFi connection. It’s only available around the reception area and not in your room.

The location of this hotel is perfect for getting around Furengirola easily. It is nearby all local amenities but just far away enough to be peaceful at night. The staff are wonderful on reception and someone is there 24 hours a day should you need them, the cleaning staff do a great job and our room was always fresh and clean. Excellent value for money
