This place was awesome! I was only able to stay a night, just passing through. Wish I could've stayed longer- great, friendly staff and an awesome facility!

Everything was fine. The hostel is right in the center, very clean and the breakfast (with pancakes!) was awesome :)

A great hostel! Clean, secure, lockers, WiFi works in the bedrooms. Walking tours and pub crawls are great, I highly recommend them - enjoyable and great value for money. If I'm back in Malaga, I will definitely stay at this hostel again :)

Everything at the hostel was pretty good. The chairs and benches they have are pretty uncomfortable to sit on but that's not too big of a deal. I rated their staff lower because one of the receptionists was incredibly rude, she actuall cursed at me in Spanish. All I did was show her that one of the flyers in the room stating the towel cost was lower than what she was trying to charge me. Apparently that meant I was a pain and she could cuss at me. Other than that, everything was good.

Oasis Malaga is a great hostel! I came to Malaga alone and I hoped to meet a lot of new people. Thanks to pub crawls with Andrea and tapas nights (also with him) I met many nice people with whom I spent a great time! I recommend also walking tour with Brian - it is a great opportunity to see the whole city :) Recepcionists are also really nice, especially Andrea who helped me and my room mates many times and was really nice for hostel guests. It is the best hostel I have ever been to!

Of all the 3 oasis hostels I stayed in (Seville, Granada & Malaga) the service here was by far the best. Super helpful & friendly. Exceptional customer service really. The first guy helped my friends who didn't have a reservation find an alternative (as oasis was full), and the second guy helped me get & find the cab to airport at 5am. Thank you both!

Everything was great, the lockers are drawers under the bed which are massive and really easy to access stuff in. The only problem was there was only one bathroom for 12 people, and the shower and toilet were in the same room, leaving a long wait in the morning. The bathroom also smelled a bit mouldy.

Very cool hostel with a fancy rooftop bar. The atmosphere was great, lots of opportunities to connect with other people (dinner, beer pong, free walking tour, pub crawl). The staff was really nice but a bit disorganized sometimes, but this did not ruin the mood at all! Breakfast as somewhat dissapointing since you have to grab it in the kitchen yourself. The room are very big and clean, with ensuite bathrooms. Great location in the city center and good prices. I would definitely go there again!

Brian's walking tour was awesome, a lot of stories/historical background without being boring at all, it was fun.

This place was awesome. The rooms were very nice! The one we stayed in had high ceilings, very spacious, en room suite with bathroom, very clean, nice floors. The people and vibe of this place were honestly the best (I have traveled a lot and stayed in a many hostels and this by far one of the best). The staff was so friendly and brought everyone together. They had free walking tours, pubs crawls and tapas tours. I miss it.

We were only there one night so we decided to take the tapas tour, the guide was really nice and it helped to meet some of the other people at the hostel, but it wasnt really worth the 10€. The hostel itself was super clean and big, and in a good location for walking around. We didn´t check out the bar unfortunately

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. This hostel has amazingly great staff that are good at advising for places to go and take their time to organize things to entertain their guests. Also loved the breakfast, there's an option to make your own pancakes. The beds were really comfortable and there was always hot water in the showers. The only negative aspect of my stay there was the noise, mainly caused by some inconsiderate guests and slightly less by the rooftop terrace bar.

It was ok. But the staff seemed bored and disinterested. They guy at the counter was more interested in talking to his girlfriend than checking me in. Stupid cow in my room bought a guy home and kept the whole room awake even though we kept on asking her to have some consideration. Told front counter in the morning but again, disinterested...

Great place probably the best hostel i have ever stayed at, some people didn't like the fact that the upstairs bar is open to the public as some of the patrons are a bit older but i thought it was a great opportunity to talk to some locals. Will definately stay here again next time i'm in Malaga

The location and hostel itself were excellent. We took a4 bed dorm, and the room was massive. Strongly recommend the hostel. Wished the prices were a bit lower!
