I had to leave at 9 am to get to the airport. No-one was about so I left my keys at the desk and let myself out. However, I couldn't get out of the garden gate, so ended up trapped in the garden! Repeated attempts to get help ( by the bell) failed, so I ended uP climbing over the precarious 2.5 metre gate. (I am aged 60). Apart from this, it was great!

Easy to get to by bus from train/bus station. Very nice people, good location (15 mins walk to the most of the museums and sights). A nice kitchen with cheap supermarkets near by. Free internet and skype too. There are lockers in the dorms and i was given a padlock but they weren't big enough to store my backpack (lockers a little bigger than 0.5 metres square) so i just put my valuables away and left my bag out. I felt welcome and safe as a lone female traveller. A party hostel! Thankyou!

Thanks to Guillermo (the boy at reception)! he was willing to help a lot and so kind!!! it's, probably, the best hostel I've ever been... atmosphere is incredible (an old renovated house) and rooms are fine! the pity was not to enjoy the chillout area due to winter... For sure, I'll return with friends in summer to have some beers to Guillermo!

It was a cool place, kind of empty in November, but that's because of the off season. I felt like I had the place to myself which is awesome, because it's a very big house. It was also clean and the staff was efficient. Breakfast wasn't bad either. They set out a few different things to choose from and it was available late in the morning.

Just a 10 minute walk to the city centre. A small but clean private room. Lockers to keep our small backpack in our room. Good shower in the shared bathroom. Always someone at the front door/desk makes you feel save and welcome

The staff is amazing! Beds so comfy! the hostel itself is so nice colors everywhere very clean and homey! Malaga isnt that big of a city so you can walk everywhere the beach is about a 15 minute walk away, you can stop at tavernas on your way and shopping is close as well!! I came here for 3 days and stayed for 10 I loved it so much! Nice to have a full kitchen as well and you can hang out with the staff at night by the bar in the back where they play awesome music!!! Will def be coming back

this is an old style cosy hostel with three terraces to drink a beer and relax on the sofas. It´s clean well equipped and the staff are lovely. great music too.

The hostel say they have breakfast, and they do but it´s very minimal. If you wake up a bit later, which in our case is around ten, there is a bit of milk and cornflakes, and some bread left. The room was good, although we we´re above the patio where everybody stayed drinking in the night so it was a bit noisy. The staff is really friendly and help you wherever it´s necaissary.

This house seems more like a big flat share. Relaxed and helpfull staff makes you feel like a part of the family. The room and bath were clean. But the best were the the 2 chill-areas and the bar.
