After a busy month racing around Europe, my girlfriend and I set up camp here for five nights, and I can honestly say it was magnificent.

We had a self-contained room on the top floor. It had a balcony with 160 degree ocean views, air-conditioning, pretty comfortable bed, decent bathroom with good water pressure.

The staff were tremendous, and handled my enquiries about the directions to laundromats/stores etc in bad Spanish with humour. They are masters of catching one or two words and knowing what you mean "Dande esta lavendaria?".

The location of the hotel is remarkable, it's among the winding streets that make up Nerja's main section, but far enough away from the bars and clubs that you could get some sleep when you needed to.

Having said that, everything you need is a two or three minute walk through some of the most beautiful streets in all of Europe.

The beaches are only a couple of minutes away as well.

The price was remarkable. We paid AU$100 a night for the room, and had a great time utilising the kitchen (well-equipped) to make Spanish feats with the chorizo, cerano jamon and monchego queso we'd found at the supermercado! Even better than going to a restaurant.

I highly recommend both hostal tres sol and Nerja itself.

We stayed for a week in a one bed apartment on the top floor. It was very well equipped and clean with plenty of towels (changes on request). Outside was a terrace big enough for breakfast which had great views over the cliff to the sea and was fabulous to sit out with a drink after getting back from the beach -just a couple of minutes stroll along the same street and down the footpath.
The hostal is walking distance to everything you will need and is attractively situated in the oldest (and best known) street in Nerja. It was also very quiet.
Reception is manned all day until about 9pm, we only saw two people the whole time, both didnt have much English, and we didnt have much Spanish, however they were perfectly helpful. If you are looking for a well priced, comfortable base, that gives you easy access to everything Nerja has to offer this is the place. Note (almost next door to the Carabeo Hotel).
