Great hostel, very friendly staff and nice bar downstairs. Electronic lockers in rooms are very safe and easy to use.

It was a average hostel. It needs some renovation in building. However, the staff was nice, and it has facilities you need. But the noise is really loud from outside at night, so if you are not a easy sleeper, I don´t recommend here.

It is a non modern hostel, so don't expect to much. But the beds are comfy and after a while you like it. The kitchen is some hidden. No shild and only a unclear description of the personell. It is in the 2. floor (1. is the half floor and the second with room numbers 100+). For saving money recommendable. Else better Feel good hostel or Oasis.

The hostel was in a great area of Malaga. It was really welcoming how they wrote the names of the people checking in for that day up on the board. Breakfast was good, with cereal, bread, jam and fruit. The staff was also really friendly and relaxed. The rooms were a little small, but cosy at the same time. When going back to Malaga, I would go back to this hostel!

Sweet hostel, lovely and helpful staff, great location. Fairly noisy at night, if guests choose to party in the kitchen – earplugs are a must.

Lovely staff had a great evening. Although the paella was really delicious 5euro seems a bit much when you consider the price of food on the square....but good opportunity to meet other guests if you re sick of your travel partner or alone

The room was littlebit small for me. There were not enough place to put my luggage. Also, Wifi was not able in the room, and unstable at the lounge. Except it, location, staff and other things were good!

Our spring vacation was one of those last minute planning projects that started looking pretty grim as far as accomodation. We literally booked the place without glancing at photos or location so our expectations were questionable at best. However, we were both shocked at surprised and pleased. You can just tell that this hostel put a lot of effort into making a cheap place to stay into something comfortable and friendly. Also, take the daily free tour with Michael if you get the chance!!!!!!!!!

Hostel staff was really nice and atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Only bad thing was the noise from the street and bars close by.

Claim to have lockers in the rooms, but actually only have tiny safety-deposit-like safes that fit very little (didn't even fit my laptop!). The shower had poor pressure and kept changing from freezing to boiling temperatures. Wifi does not connect in the rooms and there is a very poor connection in the common area; it kept cutting in and out. Decent location. Different dinner available every night for a fee, walking tours, etc.

The hostel was in a great location, central to all the sites you want to see. The room I was in was a little small, but I didn't have much stuff so that wasn't a problem. Great lounge area and near great restaurants.

I stayed just for a night because I had a flight to catch in the morning. The atmosphere was really nice and I would certainly recommend this hostel to people who are of an artistic nature. I stayed in a room for 8, it was a bit small and crowded but who would really spend the whole day in the room? The location is really good, just in the centre and not far from the bus going to the airport.

The free guided tour with Cathrin (I hope that was her name-I´ve got a bad memory;) ) was very very good! :)
