Good, basic hostel. Nice kitchen and bathrooms, not many rooms so it won't feel crowded. However, walls are very thin and it was incredibly noisy due to loud neighbors and doors slamming throughout the building. No wifi. Breakfast was bread, jam, and coffee.

We've spent several days in this hostel, we don't have anything bad to say about it. Owner was helpful and knew when asked for help. Breakfast included --> tous with marmelade (nothing special but at least something small). Kitchen quite good and equiped. Showers were not so nice, looks like in military - 3 showers next to each other, water pressure nothing special. In general nice staying here, but house quite scary when entered for first time ;-)

We enjoyed our stay, but there's a big lack of security there... It's an apartment, so there are locals living in the same building. The front door remains all the time opened and one night a hobo enteredat the apartment and didn't want to leave. But apart from that it was great!

the price makes it worthwhile. good staff and very good location. One thing that made my stay in the hostel bad is my new neighbor, homeless crazy man, that made a conflict with us and stole my food in the fridge!

We had a great stay at this ideally situated hostel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The price was very cheap as well, so definitely a great place to stay in Malaga.

It's clean and out of season there are no problems with a bathroom. The owner gave us a map and explained everything about the city and he also has very good english level.

Pillows and blankets smelled by sweat, but sheets were clean, new and smelled fresh, what makes really mixed feelings to me. Bathrooms were not that great either, comparing to many other hostels around, but it was not bad, overall, it is probably worth the money. At least staff is nice...

We wash pillows and blankets very often, every two or three weks. How often you clean your own pillows and blanquets at home?

Not a typical youth hostel atmosphere, but definitely a great value--Ilan was really helpful, and everything was clean and comfortable.Good location, within easy walking distance of everything you want to do. We would stay here again.

This hostel was cheap during a busy period, and I now know why! Not clean, bathroom was 1 room with 3 showers and a toilet with nothing separating them. I would avoid staying here when there are other options, but during busy periods it's ok for a cheap option for a couple of days.

It is perfect for just a stand-by night, very cheap. But atmosphere is kind of weird, so I would no stay if I were a girl.

I would really recommend this hostel. It has grat an tiny rooms and beautiful big kitchen with everything you need in it. It´s as well quite close to the citycenter and we really enjoyed to stay there.

It's great to find a hostel with personality, one that's like a house and not some faceless hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful too. Only problem : the bathroom, 1 room : 3 communal showers with only a curtain to hide from the door but not from each other, and a toilet with not privacy at all (not even a curtain). As it was the low season, it was manageable, but it hight season it could be Horrible. A bit of refurbishment (or at least more curtains) is needed.
