Excellent Hostal in San Jose, Nijar, Spain

We did only stay the 1 x night as we were en-route from Alicante Airport to Fuengirola. We didn’t arrive until 18:45 but had received, by WhatsApp, clear and precise instructions on how to gain access to our room. The room was comfortable with a very nice sea view terrace. The shower was hot with a steady flow of water. Overall the room was great and the staff, that we met, were very friendly. We will certainly stay here again
The view from our terrace. Apologies for the poor quality pic but the sun was very strong

Dejligt ophold i godt hostal med fantastisk udsigt

Ligger blot 8 minutters gang fra stranden. Parkering lige uden for døren. Skøn udsigt fra hyggelig lille terrasse. Fin lille pool, som desværre først åbner kl. 10.

Bonitas vistas desde la terraza. La habitación es pequeña pero suficiente para pasar unos días en la zona. Hay muchas escaleras para acceder a algunas habitaciones, eso le da mucho encanto pero puede ser un inconveniente para personas con movilidad reducida . En general es un hostal muy acogedor.
