What Are the Best Cheap Hotels in Marbella?
Cheap hotels in Marbella may sound like a contradiction: when you think of the smart Spanish resort of Marbella, it’s probably not budget-friendly accommodation that first springs to mind. Yet hidden spots for cost-conscious travellers still exist amid the superyachts – and they’re bookable on Culture Trip.
With its glitzy Golden Mile, flashy yacht-studded marina and more luxury shops than you can shake a credit card at, this famous town in southern Spain is hardly known as the most budget-friendly of destinations. But that doesn’t mean visiting this buzzing Costa del Sol resort has to cost a kidney, as there are plenty of affordable places to stay that go easy on your wallet.
1. NH Marbella
Hotel
The NH brand is known for giving good bang for your buck, and the Marbella outpost is no different. Located halfway between the city centre and Puerto Banús, its Golden Mile setting puts it within easy reach of the resort’s swankier spots. The hotel’s centrepiece is a fab freeform pool surrounded by manicured gardens and with a poolside bar. All 163 rooms are smart and modern, reaching onto balconies with many featuring shimmering sea views to the front, or to the sculpted Sierra Blanca to the back.

4. H10 Andalucía Plaza
Hotel
There’s more than a touch of Las Vegas about the H10 Andalucía Plaza, with its palatial Andalusian architecture and sumptuous interiors. The lobby alone is vast, and extends to several restaurants, a deluxe spa and a central sun terrace with a huge freeform pool. Rooms blend old and new elements to eye-pleasing effect, with sleek modern bathrooms and walk-in showers. Free access to the adjoining casino adds to the Vegas vibe.
5. Vasari Resort
Hotel
This self-contained resort comprises numerous impressive terracotta-toned buildings set amid lush Mediterranean gardens. You can get lost among the forest of palms and cacti, and find your own secluded shade-dappled spot to unwind in. Accommodation is spacious and apartment-style, with anything from one to three bedrooms. There’s a multi-sectioned pool, too, with a jacuzzi and kid-friendly areas, plus an all-important poolside bar.
6. La Morada Mas Hermosa

7. Pensión Aduar
Budget Hotel
This budget pension can be found in the heart of Marbella’s Moorish-influenced Old Town. The highlight is the central Andalusian patio, where you can enjoy your breakfast or just sit and relax. They offer single, double, triple and even quadruple rooms, so it’s ideal for a family or a group of friends who want to stay together.
8. Selin Star Light PB
Budget Hotel
Located right along the main road in Marbella – Avenida Severo Ochoa – one block from the beach, the Selin Star Light offers visitors a collection of budget apartments perfect for those who want the added benefit of basic cooking facilities. The studio apartments are stylish, light and bright, decorated in tones of white, cream and beige and with attached marble bathrooms and kitchenettes within the room.
9. Bluebelle by Pillow
Budget Hotel
Bluebelle by Pillow is a budget Marbella hotel situated in the picturesque Old Town. The rooms are dressed in tones of pastel blue and mint green, and boast all the amenities you’d expect, from flat-screen TVs to air conditioning. As well as private doubles, there are family rooms and suites with terraces for even more space. There’s no cafe or restaurant on- site, but you’ll find plenty of places to dine nearby, and the beach is just 600m (1,970ft) away.
