Hostal Castillo is cheap, but charming and clean, still very Spanish, which is rare in Marbella. The fact that the staff doesn't speak a word of English probably has something to do with that. Especially good for young couples looking for a romantic place that doesn't cost them too much. There are also disadvantages (there's a school at the square opposite the hotel), but then again, each and every place in Spain will be noisy at times, won't it? Bas.
