We have just spent an excelent week in Nerja again and stayed in this hostal and must report it is spot on for all your needs. I have stayed in the Balcon next door and apart from the lack of a pool the hostal is every bit as good in terms of cleanliness position service etc. They charge 50euros mid... more

This hostal is so nice and the location so perfect that I really don't want to tell others about it! Their "Balcony of Europe" location is the hub of Nerja. From the small balcony of our very clean, nice room with full bath, we had a partial ocean view. Excellent value. more

A pleasant suprise. We had a very nice, clean room at this small hotel right on the Balcony of Europe. We used Rick Steves' recommendation, and he was right this time. The hotel is hard to find if driving. There really is no public streets to it unless you use a hard-to-find one-way side street to drop of luggage. It... more

The Marissal is located right on the beautiful balcony of europe. The price we paid was unbeatable for the location. The rooms are sparse, but clean. The bathrooms are clean and modern. The Marissal is not a Ritz (front desk staff are off between 11pm-8am or so - they do give you a number to call in case of emergency),... more

If you are fortunate to discover this hotel, please don't tell anyone else about it. I would like to return one day and not have it be overrun by tourists. This was my favorite hotel in a ten day trip through five cities in Spain. While normally verbose, that's all I have to say. more

The Hostal Marissal is perfectly located, extremely clean and i would definately go back! The reception staff were very helpful and did everything they could for us. We thought that the Marissal would be especially good for people who cannot/don't want to walk far, as it has a lift and there were a wide variety of restaurants/cafes close by, with... more

My husband and I chose this location due to the other reviews here on tripadvisor.com. We were not disappointed. We went to Nerja to stay in a small town and be near the beach. Hostal Marissal was perfect. The location of the property is right in the plaza in Nerja on the Balcon De Europa. The public (free) parking is... more

We lucked in at the pretty Hostal Marissal. It was an absolute bargain for the price. Very clean, really comfortable with white washed walls, timber furnishings, high quality linen and soft furnishings. The bathroom was huge, gray and blue tiled with a bath, shower and bidet. It also offered a huge range of complimentary toiletries. The shower head and water... more
