We spent just 2 nights at the Casa Babylon, but we liked it a lot. The staff was extremely helpful, competent and very friendly. The atmosphere was great! They even organized a bbq in the court to join and socialise. One little point was that there where just 2 bathrooms for almost the whole hostel (which istn't that big) and sometimes we had to queue a bit. Also we ran out of hot water after too many people but I didn't bother (for it was warm outside).

Good hostel with nice people, located very close to the center and beach. Traveling alone, it's easy to meet fun people there.

Casa Babylon Backpackers is a cute little hostel. The staff was really friendly and helpful with directions. Over all it was nice and I would stay there again if I wanted more of a city life then beach life. Its not all that close to the "center" of Malaga but still a good location, and fairly quite at night. The beds where very comfortable and the hostel was clean. They give you a decently big locker to put your valuables in, and in general it has a nice atmosphere

The staff was nice and our overall impression was good. We stayed one night in a double room. It was very small. There was room for the bed but not for anything else. It was clean though. No air condition so pretty hot in the summer. The hostel has a nice reagge feeling to it.

This place was decent in terms of the staff; he's helpful and friendly. But the hostel itself is very dark and ominous, with green lights and dark rooms .The showers/bathrooms are spacious, but not the cleanest. The city of malaga isn't the cleanest to begin with! The kitchen has 2 very large fridges for all of your stuff, which was good, but I don't think i'd stay here again.

In the hostel there isn't the air cooling and the room was really hot and you couldn't sleep during the night. Furthermore there was a dog that walked trough the hostel all the day long and the people at the reception pass their days drinking and smoking.
