El Arenal Hostels

The whala! fun is located at the port of El Arenal in one of the slightly quiet streets. The hotel staff was quite friendly, premature and even speaking partly German. Although the rooms are quite small, but always clean and friendly furnished. Our personal highlight was the roof terrace that you have almost all alone at the end of September. It is perfect to spend the whole day, to be able to be disgusted by a cool drink from the bar or a small snack. The generous beds and the pool are invited to relax and even in the evening you can drink a drink and make the day cozy with a look at the beautiful port. Price-performance ratio could also convince us absolutely. Thank you!

There're hundreds of hotels in the area. Don't go to this one. It's expensive and has poor conditions. The first thing that I noticed when I arrived was that it didn't have a ramp to facilitate the access of people with mobility difficulties. The second detail was that you were CHARGED for the WIFI 4€ DAILY. I have never seen that before. Also you were given a big and a small towel per person. Not a bath math, and they were refusing to give you any edtra towel. Towels are quite old, by the way. They tried to make money in every single possible way. The dinner does not include a single drink, not even water, and you can't take your own drinks. Most nights, there weren't many options, mainly salad. Nice the first night, but fed up after a week. Food taste was meh, but not horrible. If you want a decently quiet stay, it's not a good option. The place was full of drunk people. The first night, I saw how the man next to my door fell and opened his head. He was so drunk that barely knew where he was. It's not the right place if you aren't partying 24/7. I was told that I could notify reception of what room was causing noises, but there were a few per level. Impossible mission. I had an extra problem. My room had an air conditioner that leaked. I was told that they couldn't send anyone to fix it because the maintenance staff finished their shift at 5. What about emergency maintenance? I complained lots because it was a hazard. Their answer was to put a towel, which was getting soaking wet. They didn't have other rooms available. It took them 3 days to have another room free. I didn't receive any compensation for the inconvenience. Why not just 1 star? Because the staff. THE STAFF WAS NICE, THE ONLY GOOD THING. I feel sorry for them. They face lots of abuse.

My partner and I have just returned to London after a weeks stay in Hotel Costa Mediterraneo. We had a lovely holiday on a budget. One thing we could not fault was the cleanliness. Wherever you went it smelt of nice clean soap and the bed linen/towels were fresh. Check in was quick, we arrived around 2am and had to pay the usual tourism tax, which being a 2 star hotel, it wasn’t very much at all. It obviously has been recently renovated, yes the further you go up the stairs the older the flooring becomes but come on- who goes on holiday to moan about old floors? I really didn’t mind our room, the bed was big and super comfortable, even a third bed which we used as clothes storage! Freshly painted walls and very clean. The wardrobe was nice and new with 10 hangers and there was a safe too but we did not use. The bathroom was basic but we had no problems with water temperature and enjoyed our daily showers. This hotel gave me Travelodge vibes. So, now the things we think could definitely be improved upon to gain more clientele. I really think as a hotel you need to listen to the reviews about noise and come up with a solution. It was the only thing to be honest that made us slightly unhappy with our stay! We had room 408 which was right next to the elevator and it kept me awake most nights… you could hear it going up and down, people’s conversations, and the lift door being smashed against the walls when people open it. Breakfast was raised to 9 euros during our stay, we tried it once, arriving at 9:15am. What was left of the baguette was not enough for two people and didn’t get replenished but the scrambled eggs and bacon did. I don’t think it was worth 9 euros but it was nice to enjoy the “hotel experience” and the food was nice! We thought there was a drainage problem as every morning when we flushed the loo a smell of rotten eggs filled the bathroom for around 30 mins- 1 hour. And lastly, the TV situation! I asked reception if there was any English channels as we couldn’t find any and they said there was 2 or 3 but alas we couldn’t find anything. The TV itself is super small and placed on the wall far away so if you’re blind like me it’s a little tricky!

We couldn’t have been happier with our hotel and where it was. It was busy but still a nice place. We had a warm welcome from reception with lots of info. Despite being early for check in our room was ready. Loved the balcony and big bed. Food was great, the cakes and yoghurt was so creamy. Managed to do as much sunbathing on the beach as shopping in the town, got best of both. This was just a great place for us, glad we did the research.

It didn't let me but I'd give this 3 and a half stars. I'll do the positives first. Stayed for 7 days. The staff were all brilliant and friendly. The food and drinks were nice, no issues with that. Cleanliness was fine. No issues with that at all. Cleaners go in rooms daily. Pool side, bar, restaurant area, reception and waiting area were all spotless and well maintained. Location is fabulous. Turn right, cross the road at the end and the beech is right there. I suggest using the one to the left of the little car park. Or if you fancy a couple mile walk, go to the other side of the area (you'll know when you see the seafront) and it's great that side. Sadly there's some negatives. 1. The pool is very small and very cold. Really badly located. It's surrounded by large buildings so gets no sunlight. A hotel located where this is, it should really be on the roof to get full benefits of the warm weather. The ocean is literally warmer. Didn't see anyone even use the pool. Bit gutted about this as it would have been nice to relax in and around the pool with the kids, but we just went to the sea instead. 2. The rooms were pretty small and there's no option for more than 3 people per room which we weren't told as we have a family of 4. So my partner and I had to split up and have a kid each despite booking a family room. Not the end of the world I know but should be specifically said on booking that we'd have to gave 2 rooms fitting 2 people. The shower we had was open as in no door or curtain and square so the shower literally had no choice but to spill onto the main bathroom floor right next to the toilet. My partners room had a sort of L shaped shower which was far bigger as there was a lot more wall to stop the water getting onto the floor. Very spacious. We just showered there all week. Lastly unless you had a balcony room, the view is just horrible. 3. The noise was ridiculous. I dont expect pure silence, but this was really bad. Very thin walls too, could hear very loudly when the next room went to the toilet for instance. Seems to be a hotel for young party goers, which is fine, but wish we had known as it isn't really suited for families. It's more of a base hotel for people who just want to go out and drink all day. 4. The lifts did not feel safe. The small one broke at least 3 times that I heard (the alarm is extremely loud). You can hear the lift scraping against something on about floor 3 which doesn't sound safe. That's it for the hotel. It isn't bad, but felt was slightly mislead when booking the rooms and very let down with the pool and too noisy for us. I'd say if you are planning to stay here, it's better to be used as a base for those out wanting to party a lot. In my youth, this would have been perfect. Now for some info on the area itself to be weary of(nothing to do with hotel) There's a heck of a lot (and I mean a lot) of people walking about all over the sea front and shop fronts trying to sell you cheap knoc

Dont let bad reviews put you off!!! After reading previous reviews we were apprehensive about going! But we were pleasantly surprised! The hotel itself is really nice, comfy well decorated and reception was really posh! Greeted with a lovely lady member of staff! The room was basic, really nice shower and the balcony was fine. Everything you needed. The only downside was the hairdryer. Definitely take your own. The pool area was lovely and it definitely has the sun hit it! Do not be put off! The sun was there all day! I caught a tan easily and there is a nice bar inside and even it own lifeguard. The breakfast was lovely, everything from pastry to cereal to fruit and fried breakfast and even different types of milk! The spa was definitely a highlight! The massage was incredible. I would definitely recommend this hotel it is so close to the harbour and beach but far enough not to hear noise! The only downside is occasional noise from rooms above but but to be expected . We went for a long weekend and for what we paid I would definitely return!

Firstly, we checked in, and our room for 3 was a tiny room. Couldn't even move next to the beds. I think they have just added an extra bed next to the 2 that were in the room. The room, on 6th floor, no. 639 to be avoided. You can hear literally everything. All the traffic, cars, buses, and motorbikes speeding up to climb the hill. The music is on the bar below... terrible! After 3 nights with no sleep, when we were like zombies, angry and frustrated, asking several times for a change in room... we were told to address it to the head receptionist, Diana. An absolute nightmare person! Impolite, unprofessional, rude, useless! In the end, the hotel manager, Javier, stepped in and sorted us out. Moved to no. 523 and the rest of our holiday, was without incidents. Pluses: David, from reception, a lovely and friendly gentleman. Daniel, the guy in the restaurant as well. Chef Gabriel (Italian gentleman), an amazing person. Smiley, friendly and a brilliant cook! Ana Maria, the cleaning lady, an absolute jewellery of a woman! Way mooore friendly and helpful than the head receptionist, Diana!! Delicious and very diverse food. Very clean rooms, sheets, towels. Overall a good hotel for a low budget, but definitely not 3 stars! Maybe 2? No fridge in the room, no hairdryer in the bathrooms.
