Stayed in their 6 mixed dorm first, experienced terrible roommates who were making soo much noise all night. Next day I complained the staff about it, they not only took immediate actions but changed my rooms and gave me options to choose. They made sure I was comfortable, that is Insanely impressive. Overall, you should meet the Hostel Owner, she is amazingly friendly. Trust me, if you are a introvert like me, you gonna thank them for those curtains in the bed.

A clean and friendly hostel. A big plus was that they provide you with a spacious locker and a key to it for no special fee; also a towel is included. You are also free to leave and return at night (they give you a key to the frond door), and the check out at night is no problem. Another huge plus is location - it is only 15 minutes by foot from the bus station/RENFE. So you can travel to neighbouring cities from there on a bus. Also, because I was staying during the Semana Santa, I got to experience the processions every evening near my hostel.

The location is very centric, the bed was very comfortable, and with curtains to have more privacy. The room is very spacious and clean, with a big private bathroom. The common areas, most of all the terrace, were incredible for meeting new people, hanging out, and planning activities. It was the best hostel experience. Soundproof works, if used properly (you need to close all windows).

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!
