The location is perfect, in the old city but away from the restaurant and nightclub noises. Taxi can reach the entrance if one doesn't want to walk to the train station. Two supermarkets at doorsteps. Very close to everywhere. Beautiful courtyard reception area, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Black and white colour scheme throughout the hostel, very modern. The 6-bed dom I stayed in has decent space and a cute sunny balcony. The en-suite bathroom is very convenient, with a powerful shower. In the locker, there is a clothes hanger rail, very useful little details.

Everyone was so friendly. I really felt at home the minute I checked in. Also the rooftop is amazing!! I was able to do my morning yoga there and in the evening it is great to sit together with other guests, cook, drink and talk. Also many great activities are organised by the hostel, the pub crawl was a lot of fun, also the free walking tour was great. Would always come back :)

All hostels in Málaga

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!
