Hostal Escandinavia, Torremolinos Overview
Hostal Escandinavia is a 2-star hotel in Torremolinos, Spain. Rated 7.2 out of 10 based on 50 guest reviews.
Hostal Escandinavia is a 2-star base in Torremolinos, Spain, set on Avenida Palma de Mallorca 43, a practical address for travelers who want the coast within reach without paying for extra frills. The hotel’s appeal shows up in guest feedback: with a 7.2/10 score from 50 reviews, many visitors describe it as a straightforward, budget-friendly stop that works well for short stays and quick beach days. Rooms are supported by free WiFi, and the 24-hour front desk helps when arrival times run late or plans change. There’s also a terrace and garden for downtime, plus luggage storage so you can make the most of your day even if you’re not checking in or out exactly on schedule.
For area context, Playa de La Carihuela is about 1 km away, making it easy to return for a shower and a rest between strolls. If you’re traveling with kids or just want a dose of action, Aqualand Torremolinos is around 2 km from the property. Parque La Batería, roughly 2 km away, is a good option for a quieter walk with greenery. Reviews also point to the convenience of having a snack bar/deli on site, and breakfast is available for a surcharge when you’d rather not start the day searching for a café.
Hostal Escandinavia is best for solo travelers and couples who prioritize location and basic comfort, and for anyone planning a mostly out-and-about itinerary along the Torremolinos seafront.

Should You Book Hostal Escandinavia?
Worth considering if you want a simple, budget-friendly base in Torremolinos with consistently decent guest feedback (7.2/10 from 50 reviews). It’s a practical choice for beach and attraction access, but it’s not positioned for travelers seeking higher-end comfort or amenities.
Best For

Not Ideal For
