Excellent place to stay. Minutes from the station and right in the centre of town so close to all the shops, cafes and restaurants.
The rooms are spotless and comfortable. Good WiFi. Plenty of hot water and a good powerful shower. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would certainly recommend if you want to be in the town rather than on the seafront.
I've stayed at the Sol y Miel many times. The recent refurbishment especially in reception and bar areas is very good and a nice place to sit and relax. As always the staff are very helpful and friendly which made our stay a pleasurable experience.
Hostel very clean.will definitely use again.only stayed for 2 nights, first night excellent very quiet.2nd night other customers noisy and inconsiderate.
Stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. Comfortable room in a central position for sightseeing. Staff were informative and helpful. Would recommend
Spotlessly clean room. Really nice, friendly staff, lovely little bar area. Great location in the heart of Arroya. Few minutes walk from train station/bus stops. Plenty of shops, restaurants, launderettes, supermarkets.

Just a bit pricey for a room with no real view, tea making facilities. Kettle would’ve been fine we could’ve provided our own tea. Great friendly staff though.
The staff were very welcoming, & the room was clean & comfortable. The shower was fine…just looked a little older. The location is fab & great value. Would recommend
Great location, great room for the price but the walls are so thin that if someone flushes the toilet anywhere else in the hotel you hear it. I was on the top floor and could still hear staff talking during the night on the bottom floor.
Well maintained and beautiful property. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Beds were comfortable and room was spotless. It is located in the heart of everything and walking distance to the beach and has easy access to trains and buses. The rooms are small and it can be a little noisy in the hallways when people are coming and going, but otherwise it is a great little place to stay and perfectly priced. Would happily stay in the future. Wished they had a communial microwave and coffee maker but not essential for short stays.
The location of this hostel was the best possible! It was in the heart of Benalmadena, near to railway station and bus stop.
The hostel was in quite old building, but our room was very silent and clean and there was comfortable beds and clean bedlinen. . Furniture was traditional spanish ( no Ikea!) and there was tv in the room. There was a small balcony, too wich was a nice addition. Under our balcony was walking street, so no noice in the night. Staff was friendly and price was ok, so we do not need anything more .
This is a great place to stay in the heart of Arroya within minutes of the train station. The room we had was absolutely spotless and looked like it had been recently updated. Towels were fluffy and white and changed every day. Sheets were changed every three days and were sparkling white. Wifi was good and no charge. The bathroom was lovely and clean with a good powerful shower and plenty of hot water. Toiletries were supplied every day. The staff were all very friendly and there was someone on reception 24 hours a day. Sattelite TV was provided in the room. You can have breakfast in the bar/cafe but you are very close to several excellent cafes if you prefer to eat out.

Disliked: Room comfort
Best for short stays. Crappy furniture.
Its a pretty basic room, with thin walls. Which is to be expected from a hostel. Theres a really uncomfortable wooden chair. Garden chairs would have been an upgrade. I was working my day job from the room and its internet connection. My work was interrupted after the wifi password expired. And I had to go to the reception and get a new one (it automaticly expires after 1 week. Nobody told me about this). That system is inconvenient. Make it expire on check out date.
The bed and pillow (yes 1 flat long pillow) gave me back pain if I slept for too long. I even slept on top of the duvet. It was still painful for my back.
The cleaning crew are constantly knocking on the door. And sometimes they just walk straight in, no knocking or anything. As I was working from home during the afternoon, evening and nights, I constantly had to tell them "no thank you". Please get a "do not disturb sign" It would have saved me alot of interactions.
