Casa Babylon Backpackers Reviews

Casa Babylon is a very nice place to stay. After 12 hostels I've been to this is the first one that really felt like a home. A very cosy atmosphere, several common places in the open air and inside, remarkable interior and exterior and an adorable fluffy dog. Supermarket is only 3 min walk and not far away is beautiful Placa de la Merced with many very nice cafes and Picasso Birthplace Museum. I'd also recommend Pancho walking tours as a nice way to get the first impression of Malaga.

great hostel, nice staff, good atmosphere , very helpful staff!

Had a very pleasant stay here. We found it clean and well looked after .. staff very helpful and felt right at home. Will definitely come back of ever in malaga again. Location is good too!away from the hustle and bustle but within walking distance to some great spots

The man on desk can not speak English. Mosquito were there at night made difficult to sleep. If u come late night then the person can cause problem for you.

Interesting place. Kind of out of the way in the city -- a bit hard to get to. The staff never seemed to be there. Some rooms have their own bathrooms, others don't so you have to share one bathroom on the floor. That was sort of frustrating waiting for people to get done with it. It has a kitchen, out door "chill out" area, and bar -- so it's pretty cool. It was just sort of a normal stay for me. Nothing special.

Staff very friendly. The hostel seems a former mansion, a little in the maroccan style. I loved the look of it. The only downside was the only bathroom avaliable

Free atmosphere,very nice saff with nice dog,clean spacious bathrom,inexpensive bar,siting on back garden and rooftop,beautiful area close Gibralfaro castle.

I have spend only one night in this hostel and, I would not recommend it ! When I arrived in Malaga (about 23:00 because my flight landed at 22:00), and crushed down here, I felt like I was disturbing the guy at the reception. He just forgot to give me a key for going out, and when I came back and asking him for it, he seemed to be so bored of it ! Thanks !

Staff was limited to one person but available when needed. Met a bunch of cool people. Lots of cool places to chill inside the hostel.

Love the dog!!! :D

The hostel does not have its own parking space so you have to leave car on the street if there's enough space.

Very good intimate atmosphere, super-nice terrace, excellent music in the chill-out area. I felt even better than home and would definitely recommend it to everyone who is open to meet people and is willing to set aside the need for a calm, silent room in a regular hotel where he/she can spend the evenings alone.

A lovely Hostel. It felt like we were staying in a family home which made it very relaxed and sociable. A comfortable bed, a great breakfast and very friendly...all makes up for the 5 minutes extra walk from the centre.

Good place to stay, bit to relax for me but everything was fine, friendly guy around, good breakfast too

One of the best hostels ever! This is a place to relax. I remember my first visit two years ago. When we arrived to the hostel to check if they had any availible beds, there were some people in the living room making music. They told us to trow our bags on the floor en join them to finish a big plate of delicious food. It was a party and we checked in the next morning.

Loved the hostel. It was a great place to hang out and get to know people. Thanks!

The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

I really enjonyed so much CASA BABYLON. It was my second time in malaga. You must to visied this hostal i you ever benn in malaga. See you again Matias and Willy...

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!

Great place to stay in malaga.
