About
Hostal Apartamentos Playa Del Palo
Hostal Apartamentos Playa Del Palo sits in a residential part of Malaga, roughly a 20-minute walk from Pedregalejo and about 25 minutes on foot from the beach. The property keeps things simple: studios come with a kitchenette, a dining table, and tea and coffee facilities, so you can handle your own breakfast or a light meal.
Guests share a garden with a swimming pool, a sun terrace, and outdoor furniture. The location suits travellers with a car — free street parking is mentioned repeatedly — and the motorway makes day trips to Nerja or into central Malaga straightforward.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- The beach is not right on the doorstep — It's a 20-25 minute walk to Pedregalejo and the beach, so plan for a stroll or a short drive.
- Overall ratings are modest — With a 6.6 aggregate and a 7.0 for 'General', expectations should be set to a practical, no-frills stay rather than a polished hotel.
- Value score is on the lower side — The 6.9 value rating suggests some guests feel the price is a touch high for what's offered, though several reviews call it good value.
- Limited reception hours — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 21:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
