Almost everything about this hostel was perfect. The only negatives I can think of concern the functionality of the computers. Sometimes there were 1 or 2 computers that weren't working. The French hostess was veeeery nice and easy on the eyes

Overall a good hostel. Very secure, clean, and had comfortable beds. Downsides were no internet above the first floor or so, and not being allowed to bring drinks or food up to the nice but overpriced bar on the roof. Consequently very few people staying in the hostel actually used the bar, and this made it more difficult to socialise with travellers alike. The staff were great, especially those running the tours (Michael was a champ).

Only stayed for one night but it's quite centrally located and it has all the important amenities though the breakfast could have been a little bit better. The beds were quite short though but the bar was really cool.

Great hostel considering the price. It would have been nice to have the air conditioning run longer instead of restarting every half an hour for a couple minutes, not having much effect. Easy walking distance from the historic area.

It´s good hostel. It´s in the city center so you can go every where by walk. And the staff are really friendly. It´s good place to meet new people but at night it little bit noisy.

Lovely hostel right in the heart of the old part of the city with good facilities such as the rooftop bar, kitchen and chill out areas and free internet. The rooms were well fitted out and bathroom was clean and there was a sturdy draw to lock your things in. Highly recommend using the draws to lock up belongings as petty crime seems quite high in the city. I stayed mid-week so the hostel wasn’t noisy, however I think lots of hen and stag parties tend to stay here on the weekend. Overall a good

I enjoyed staying at this hostel because I met cool people, it was in the center, they had a cool terrace, and there was Muesli at breakfast. Other than that, my experience here wasn't the best. Breakfast was really disorganized with people everywhere and the kitchen was very messy. It was very noisy at night, with people coming in an out, and every time someone used their key card to enter the hall it made a lot of noise. This hostel would be better staying in a room with fewer people.

It's a above average hostel. But I was some disappointed because I expected a terrace. Ther is a bar with a terrace on top open for the neighbourhood and the inhabitens of the hostel. But before 6pm it is closed so the terrace. I had chosen a different hostel if I had known that before. For it wasn't cheap. A terrace is a must have.

Our first experiences in Morroco weren't that great and the hostel was a great relief!!! The guys working there were great!!! They taught us how to behave, what to do and what not to do! That made everything a lot easier and the hostel was a safe place to hang out with other backpackers. They served us a delicious pancake-breakfast every morning!!! And all that for such little money! The beds are kinda small but even though being very tall I found them to be very comfortable!

This is a great hostel in a great location- just of la plaza de la constitution, one of the main squares in Malaga. We had really good time and decided to spend more time there because we enjoyed it so much. The rooms are modern and comfortable and there a lift which is great if you've got loads of bags. The rooftop bar is really nice and the free internet is useful too. Breakfast was pretty basic and there wasn't many cups or bowls around but other than that it was great.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, sorting me out with maps and bus timetables. The facilities in the room were great - having a fridge was useful, the bathroom was clean with a good shower and the locker drawers beneath the bunkbeds were brilliant - I could fit all of my stuff in there and be sure it was safe. Having several computers for internet use was great. Only thing to work on might be the communal feel of the hostel, though paella night etc was working that way.

Awesome hostel! Great location near a main shopping area, lots of lounging areas for socializing, the staff is great and always accommodating, rooms are spacious and the furniture is nice. Only thing that I can think to "complain" about is that the bathroom hadn't been cleaned the day I got there, and my room was mostly guys, so using it wasn't the most pleasant thing. And there's no wifi in the rooms (not sure if that's intentional, or if the signal was weak). But everything else was great!
