They common areas were cleaned multiple times a day. The rooms seem small, but are comfortable even with a medium sized luggage taking up space. The AC was on during most of the day, so the rooms had a comfortable temperature during higher outside temperatures too. The hostel is conveniantly located in the city centre so everything is max 15 minutes on foot.

Located close to the main things to see in Malaga. The staff is super nice and always willing to help. You get a free shot on the check-in, the terrace is super nice and the kitchen is probably one of the cleanest ones I've ever seen in an hostel. Also the toilettes were very clean and comfortable. Beds have curtains so you can have privacy. Super good vibes. I totally recommend it

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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!
