Everything was just perfect! The staff is kind and helpful, the place is clean and located in the city center. Also, the hostel proposes a lot of activities such a Wine and Paint or one day excursion to Gibraltar or Ronda. I highly recommend to everyone, especially solo travelers or digital nomads. Hope to be back one day! :)

The location is very convenient as everything is close by. There are many restaurants, pubs, and places to visit, such as the Picasso Museum, Alcazaba, and the castle. The Malagueta beach is not too far from the hostel; you can even walk there if you prefer. I had an enjoyable time.

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!
