Boutique Hostal Lorca

of all my travels around the world, i have never experienced such impeccable hosts and welcoming accommodations! hostal lorca is the perfect place to get away to the beautiful beach town of nerja, with all you need within walking distance - cafès, restaurants, grocery store, beaches, night life, shopping, etc. yet resides on a quiet street with a gentle ocean breeze. i especially loved the kitchen and patio area when having a chill day by the pool, which was in pristine condition with perfectly refreshing water temps for a hot summer day. the owners / hosts are always available to answer any questions and give great recommendations for the surrounding area and are the most incredible humans - you will love them! i will most definitely be returning as often as possible.

The Best People! We originally booked a 14-night stay in Almuñécar, but during a short visit to Nerja we completely fell in love with the area and decided to stay instead. After moving around for a little while, we finally discovered Hostal Lorca – and it instantly felt like a home away from home. Julian and Amber couldn’t have been more helpful. From recommending fantastic restaurants to arranging transfers, nothing was too much trouble. They even went out of their way to surprise my girlfriend with a thoughtful gesture for her birthday, which meant so much to us. On our final night (day 14), we had to return to our original accommodation to collect some belongings. Knowing how much we loved Nerja, Julian invited us back the next day to use the hostel’s facilities as if we were still guests. He kindly stored our luggage, giving us the freedom to explore the town one last time before leaving. Julian even arranged our airport transfer. When we came back to collect our bags we were welcomed with two cold beers. When the taxi arrived a little earlier than expected, he insisted we finish our drinks while he carried our bags out for us. Such a genuine and thoughtful touch! We’ll definitely be back – Hostal Lorca and its wonderful hosts made our trip unforgettable. Mike & Nikita

Just perfect. Very nice place. Julian was the best host. Julian helped us book table for the best Paella in town. We would recommend this for every visitor! The Hostal is very cosy . There is a basic kitchen with stuff free of use. Beds was amazing for sleeping. Thank you Julian. - see you again!

This was a perfectly balanced place for our stay in Nerja. Hostal Lorca had private, hotel-style rooms alongside relaxed communal spaces that had a lovely, comfortable vibe, especially in the evenings. The rooms were spotless and the shared areas are warm, inviting and well-kept. Excellent in terms of location too. Right round the corner from Nerja bus station (where buses from Malaga/the airport stop into and buses to nearby must-sees such as Frigiliana and the Nerja Caves can be got from there too). Truly excellent coffee, bakeries, grocers (the fruit in Nerja is absolutely fantastic; local mangoes especially), a supermarket and a lovely wine club are within 5-10 minutes. Access to Nerja's beaches and its various great viewpoints are all about a 15-25 walk away with plenty of convenience stores, great restaurants, teahouses and gelato places on the way too. Be sure to ask Hostal Lorca's host, Julien, for his fantastic recommendations on all such things! Overall, you are never more than 30 minutes away from a wealth of truly wonderful places and experiences that Nerja has to offer, especially via bus. Most notably though, Julien was a truly exceptional host—calm, personable, and intuitively attentive, offering both friendly and fascinating conversation, help when needed, and plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves. He really made us feel welcome as if we were family or long-time friends. The whole place felt gracious, well-run, and quietly uplifting. Bringing back some food and wine to relax and enjoy out the back were highlights of the whole holiday; a testament to how comfortable and relaxed we (and other guests) were made to feel. We'll cherish the memories of this place forever and cannot recommend it enough! We'd absolutely return in a heartbeat.

I came here with my family in July, and being my first time in Nerja, I would never consider staying anywhere else. The hosts, Julien and Amber, greeted me upon arrival and made sure everything was taken care of during my stay. Very clean rooms and a welcoming atmosphere, and the pool is lovely. Regular check-ins and casual conversation made me feel at home, and their expert recommendations for dining and site-seeing gave me a unique experience of Nerja. I seriously can't emphasize enough the quality of my stay. If you're visiting Nerja, you need to stay here.

I had a wonderful stay at Hostal Lorca in Nerja! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Julien, in particular, was especially kind and made sure everything went smoothly. The pool area is a lovely little oasis – perfect for a refreshing dip or relaxing with a book in the sun. The hostal is also in a great location, just a short walk from the beach and close to the charming old town. Overall, a great place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, good vibes, and a perfect base to explore Nerja. Would definitely come back!
