I stayed here for two nights and everything was great. I was in a 4-bed room and it was comfortable. The building is safe and close to both the center and the beach, which I could easily reach on foot. The staff were nice and easy to contact. The facilities are excellent, I had my meeting in the working room and everything went well.

The room was pretty clean and tidy, but yes tiny , anyway it is you space with door, you can sleep and relax alone not like in hostel 8/10 people crowding and coming and going any time. The are is amazing, exactly city center. Shower, toilets are always empty. One more time CLEARING is amazing. Nice staff, friendly and helpful. Common area is big, you have space where to lay down, to seat and have a lunch or read the book. Inside is nice modern style with paining. I really like it.

The staff was very nice and explained everything to us - starting from the need-to-know about the booking and also relevant information about surroundings. The breakfast is really good and varied. Very good value for money. We also had dinner there in one evening and it was really tasty and came in big portions.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Amazing staff!!!!! :) The hostel gives lots of opportunities for solo travels to enjoy the time in Malaga, meet new people, and have fun. The pods are small, but enough, they look exactly as in the pictures. Good WiFi, a great location. Soap, shower gel, and shampoo were available, which is quite unusual for hostels, so another plus. You can also leave your luggage there for €3 per day. I will definitely choose this place again when I am in Malaga.

    I stayed here for the 2nd time on my trip - and the staff went beyond expectations to help me! As a solo traveller, I was made to feel safe - when some things had gone wrong (nothing to do with the hotel!). It’s definitely the best hostel in Malaga - and those views are just beautiful. Thankyou so much to the staff - so won’t forget what you did for me!
