Babia Hostel Centro Reviews

The location is good, nice bar in downstairs, and breakfast was included in the price. The door lock was little bit weak, but i guess it was just temporary solution for locking the door.

The owner was very accommodating and allowed me into the flat even through I could not pay him immediately because my wallet had been stolen but managed to obtain money to pay him later that day. Facility to hold shower rose in place was broken and therefore had to hold handset to shower. Would like to have proper cups or mugs to make tea or coffee in also a kettle jug would be nice to use instead of boiling water in big saucepans (Risk of scalding making tea). Excellent breakfast in the bar.

The staff were abrupt and quite cold. The hostel is above a night-club and the noise was deafening until 6am.

Nice location to the centre,but pretty noisy at night. Nice guy there while they were busy with the restaurant things...It can be better.

I'm weird about hostels but this one completely changed my mind. Amazing location, i mean literally minutes walking from transportation, bars, restaurants, shops, really nice and attentive staff nice rooms, some with little balconies and a very nice community room so you can cook, play Foosball or just lay low. I completely recommend this hostel and when I go back to Malaga I am definitely staying here again!

I would have liked to stay longer. But if you offer DVDs and music you should try to get a new dvd-player!

Everythig was really good-location,condition,staff(really helpful and nice).The only one thing which I didn't like was cleanliness of bathroom.It could be better but exept this everything good.

No Radiators, apart from that, good Hostel

Good location and very clean, but the locker I had in the room would not lock. Sometime pretty loud from the nightlife in the street and the bar downstairs.

Just the way it is ..

the hostel is really good, the people and the company amazing !!!

everything was perfect as I was hoping to be. a nice place with nice people specily MIMI and CHEMA . everything is close , the bars , restaurants and museum . is cheap and its clean and they have a nice bar down stairs... next time I will go to Malaga definytli i will stay in Babia.. its a nice place...

This is an awesome hostel, the staff were friendly and helpful, the bar downstairs is a great place to start (and finish) the night, there are plenty of places to go in and around the area including clubs, restaurants and the beach and most importantly the rooms are clean and comfortable and the bathrooms have plent of space to get ready!

The directions need some serious updating - it is not a 3 minute walk from the bus stop, and you don´t just ´turn left´. Would be great to add some more detail to the directions - it took me a long time to find the hostel. When I did, the room was very old, no blanket on the bed (luckily I had my own sleeping bag), and the staff seemed like they´d rather be somewhere else. Fine for a quick, cheap stay, but I wouldn´t recommend it.

A great place to stay. It's a bit loud at night, but that's the price of sleeping in the old town.

A nice little hostel in a good location. However, at the ground floor there is a bar/pub with very loud (techno) music going on until very late in the night.. and when this stops, you got a lot of shouting from the place out front: I think there is a club or something similar just opposite. So: if you are there to do some hard partying until the mornig comes, good choice. If you want to get some sleep, forget it! (That was on a Saturday night in November.. I can't imagine how it gets in summer!)

Room and bathroom dirty, the door of our room couldn't close (neither lock then). SO noisy at night, unbelievable. Staff great, Mimi is lovely, but the day staff isn't helpful at all. They don't know much about what's around. 11euros for a room, well, I'd rather pay more and not stay there.

This is a great hostel;the staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful stay. Dr Edward Winters

Great hostel located right in the city center and just a 15 minute walk from the beach. Our room (8-bed) was spacious and had big lockers. There is a lot of space to just hang out (terrace, lounge room, and bar downstairs). Breakfast was one of the best, for hostels. Definitely recommend staying here!

Generally speaking the main problem has been the cleanliness. The apartment was not clean, the bed blankets were very old. Even if they were clean, the impression was not that. In the same way, the bar where the breakfast is served is not clean at all.
