Hostal Duran

Business trip. Better not to drive there and leave car at public park. If no big luggage it works Basi simple But super service Owners very kind

This is a fabulous hostal in the heart of beautiful Alora. My room was quiet & comfortable with a lovely view of the Arabic Castle. There is a bus stop very close, providing easy access to the fabulous Caminito del Rey. Excellent value for money.

The staff were very friendly and helpful - and my room had an excellent view! See pictures! I felt very safe, travelling alone. My room had a fridge and a great powerful shower! Very comfortable bed and towels provided. The location is in the old part of town, on a a beautiful street - perfect for exploring. Thankyou Hostal Duran!

Second visit to the Hostal Duran this year and as good as the first time. Anyone looking for basic, clean accommodation can't go wrong with the Hostal Duran. The Centre of town is minutes away with an excellent choice of bars and restaurants. It's also an ideal place to stay if you plan on walking the "El Caminito del Rey", the train station station is around 10 mins walk from the Hostal where you can take the now more frequent trains to El Chorro thanks to Renfe adding extra trains.

What a gem, lovely clean hostal comfortable beds and private bathroom everything was really great. Even had a fridge in the room. Cold drinks available at reception which believe me you will need after the walk up if you come by train, it's only 1km but it's a steep walk. Close to everything and view of Arab castle from Juliette balcony. breakfast 5 e lovely coffee croissant and bread and preserves and fresh juice can have in the dining room or your room well worth it. Paco and Monica are lovely hosts would highly recommend to anyone staying in Alora .

We had to extend our stay a number of times (as our flat in Malaga was being refurbished) and Monica and her husband were so accommodating each time. Super clean rooms, great air-conditioning and fantastic views from the terraces. Highly recommend and great value-for-money.

Had a fantastic stay at the Hostel Duran. Lovely place in the heart of the old town, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. We had beautiful views from our terrace to the castle, I suggest booking a room with a balcony/terrace. Rooms are basic (it's a Hostel) but clean, spacious and beds very comfortable. The room was also cleaned daily, the whole property is spotlessly clean. Can't wait to return.

A great stay at the beautiful Duran in the hill-top town of Alora. Monica and Paco are excellent hosts who were friendly and helpful. My room lived up to all the good reviews and the view from the balcony spectacular. I would definitely recommend

Hostal Duran is in a great location-if you are arriving by train, the local minibus (€1.55) takes you to the main square which is just steps away from the Hostal. Alternatively, the caminito to the station is very close by and a nice walk down the hill. Dia supermarket (and Mercadona) are in easy walking distance as are many bars and restaurants. Strolling round the castle is a real highlight. Paco and Monica were very welcoming to the quaint hostal set in a 200 year old building. The whole place is immaculately clean with comfortable beds, great WiFi, a/c and even a fridge. Check in and check out times were also great. We asked for a top floor room and the view was AMAZING. The only disappointment was that pigeons were roosting on the roof and despite the terrace being cleaned every day, we felt we couldn’t use it as the bird poo (including broken eggs) was awful.
