I suppose the kindest thing to say is that The Monkey Room is a "work in progress". The hotel/hostal is right in the centre of Marbella Old Town and although it sets out in adverts to be "chic" and "cool" it has a long way to go. While I was there a workman was on site preparing another cubby hole as a bedroom and I think my room was only half-finished. The nights were cold and only a single sheet covered the bed and, after moving my room to the one in the photo (instead of on the roof) I found the aircon not up to heating the room and a washbasin without any hot water plumbed in. It rained for part of the time and it was almost impossible to get my clothes dry. The photos make it look good but "buyer beware".

This place is cheap so we weren’t expecting The Ritz. The location is good, right in old town Marbella so you can walk everywhere. Parking as you would expect in Marbella is expensive but there are plenty of local options. Check in was simple, steep steps to the room. Room is definitely basic, TV (no English channels) small fridge which was warmer than our oven at home and no balcony or terrace. The bathroom is dated and the shower has one of those curtains that stick to you so we avoided that. There is a coffee machine but the best bit no coffee pods, milk or even a cup or glass in the room. We won’t be back.

It was a very nice and covenient place to stay, but too noisy at night, there was a loud noise coming from the building very wird pipe noise it would go on and off. If you're a heavy sleeper or don't mind the noise it's a good place. Very conveniently located, close to all the shops and nice place to stay. The staff was great, very friendly Mr. Rafael. Even gave us something to snack on.

You get what you pay for.

Noisy room that looks like it has not been finished. There is no light switch next to the bed or table lights. Not bad for the price but please finish decorating the room.

This was the worst place i have ever stayed at. There are no lifts the stairs have no rails and are dangerous. There was no heat in the room the first night. There was no hot water in the sink. The walls are so thin inbetween the rooms that our nrighbors could hear us even though we were whispering. There was no breakfast as promised on the site and the site doesnt tell you that there is only a parling structure across the street that you have to pay for. We stayed for two nights the first night we were too exhausted to find another place. Yet the jotel charged us for the whole ten days. There was. O one at the front when we left early in the mor ing. We told them we would only stay for two nights and yet we were charged for ten. I will take this up with my bank. Never book a room in this place.

Für eine Nacht in Ordnung, mehr aber auch nicht. Das Zimmer hatte einen ganz eigenartig unangenehmen Geruch. Die Toilettenspülung hat nicht gut funktioniert und die Klimaanlage hat getropft, sodass der direkt daneben gelegene Vorhang komplett nass wurde (stört nicht bei einer Nacht Aufenthalt, sollte unserer Meinung jedoch nicht vorkommen). Die Sauberkeit im Bad wäre unserer Meinung auch verbesserungswürdig. Die Lage der Unterkunft war das einzig Hervorragende. Von einer erneuten Buchung würden wir eher absehen.
