My experience at Costa Marbella Starlight was incredibly disappointing. Firstly, the lack of an outside window meant there was no natural daylight, and the curtains couldn't be opened as they faced the corridor, depriving the room of fresh air. The non-functioning air conditioning only compounded the issue. It's absurd for a hotel in Spain to lack such a basic amenity. The hotel room looked NOTHING like the pictures absolutely catfish photos. There was photos of a room with a balcony!!! (The hostel was 4 rooms based on a ground floor….) Secondly, the cleanliness standards were abysmal. There was a dead fly in one of the cups provided, and the rest were dirty, rendering the kitchen unusable. Additionally, we were only given one towel each for a three-night stay and a single roll of toilet paper, which was inconveniently locked away. The absence of hand soap was particularly unsanitary. The bathroom tap fell off in my hand so no water from the bathroom tap which is just disgusting. The bathroom door was punched in so guessing that person felt the same as me. The behavior of the staff further detracted from the experience. They were loud, leaving the front door open on a busy road and taking personal calls in the corridor, disrupting guests. Bringing a toddler to work only added to the noise pollution. I know you don’t tend to stay in the hotel when you’re on holiday but when you’ve had a full day of sightseeing and partying in Marbella you just want some peace now and again. Feeling unsafe reached its peak when I returned one night to find the front door broken, leaving the premises vulnerable to intruders to just walk in and break in. My room had a window in the corridor so anyone could have smashed it and stole anything.I felt compelled to barricade my door with the mini fridge and my suitcase. I ended not sleeping I was that worried since the hostel was located on a loud main road. Finally, the invasion of privacy was epitomized by an early room entry before checkout time, luckily I was fully clothed. This series of disappointments culminated in a profoundly unsatisfactory stay. I am not one to write reviews but this one I had to.

We stayed here for a wedding, the location is great and a 5min walk to the beach and old town. The room was clean, spacious, with a full length mirror. Fresh towels and sheets provide over our three days. Will definitely be back to stay again.

We had an absolute terrible experience with this hotel. The service we have received is the worst I have had in my years of travelling and would urge you not to stay here. We stayed during the heat wave of this summer and unfortunately our air conditioning didn’t work from day one. We couldn’t sleep and even had to have showers through out the night. Numerous times we tried to contact the hotel, we finally found someone there who promised it would be fixed and if not move us to another room. Neither happened we tried numerous times to contact someone all with empty promises. They also promised a 15% refund again this has never happened and since returning I’ve tried numerous times to contact them. Whilst there other guests had problems and again nothing was solved. I don’t like writing bad reviews but this hotel fully deserves this review and I would recommend not staying there. I have given the hotel plenty of opportunity to reply however they have chosen not to I feel this says it all.

i knew it was a cheap hostal but i expected that it would be CLEAN. but it was not! the shower was full of hair , toilet was nasty, the walls had spots of liquid, there was no heat ( there was an aircondition but no controller ) they had no winter blankets so we slept under a summer blanket so it was freezing cold! very sad and waist of money, i just wanted to sleep in my car...

Just got back from a 4 night stay here, the rooms are lovely, minimal & perfect location if you are wanting a quick visit to Marbella. They don't have any ironing boards and no kettles, so if you're super British like me, and need a cuppa tea, beware, or if you need to iron you'll have to makeshift a board :) what we didn't know until day 3 was there is a small roof terrace which is perfect for bathing and relaxing. There are lots of shops nearby and Costa Marbella Starlight is just on the side of the most wonderful Old Town in Marbella. You cannot get a better location at this price. The beach is actually so close, it is over the road, and down by the Amare hotel. It is perfect location, I cannot stress that enough.
