I stayed at this hostel with 3 of my friends, we lived in a 4-bed room and shortly said, we thought this place was nice! The price was very cheap, 15 euros each, the room was very nice and the bathroom was excellent. The staff was helpful and very friendly, i would definetively recomend this hostel!

Staf were great very helpful and a good welcome,Hostel is in a good spot just a walk from the train station and near the centre. But the hostel itself i did not like there were only 3 other people there,i had booked for two nights but left after one.The hostel is clean just not a good vibe would not recommend .

We arrived late in the dark and there was no lights outdoors and it was kinda a shifty neighbourhood. The building was clean however in need of alot of repairs and the linens and pillows although clean were way past their prime. We went somewhere else for the second night. The person working at the desk was friendly and helpful

The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were very spacious and the bathrooms were well equiped!!! There was still plenty to do and we were just a few minutes from awesome bars, restaurants and shopping!!! The walking tour they offered was awesome!!! Great value for money.

I originally intented to stay just 3 night at the hostel. Tomorrow i´ll have my last night and i´ve been here now voor 6 days. The reason why I extended, wasn´t only because of the beautiful city of Malaga, but also because of the perfect location of the hostel and the nice people inside. It was the first time travelling on my own, so it was great that it was very easy to meet other people.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, cheap Cons: We stayed in the 4 person dorm on the first floor and it really smelt like mold. I could see some mold on the ceilings as well. We were there for 2 nights and the bathrooms were not very clean and were not cleaned for the two nights that we were there. I did not read anybody else say this in their reviews so maybe it was a one off thing due to Semana Santa. Either way, for these two reasons I would not recommend this hostel to my friends.

The hostel has a good location. A great balcony off the dorm room from which I was able to watch the Semana Santa processions.

James was very friendly and welcoming - Unfortunately for me, the hostel was very quiet at the time so the atmosphere and party was lacking due to the time of arrival. The room was a decent size and fairly good value for money.

Good: Clean, comfy beds and blankets, nicely located, helpful staff, awesome common room so easy to meet people, relatively cheap. Bad: Broken shower, broken floor tiles (room 5), staff cleaned room at 9am in the morning which is much earlier than the stated time and was unnecessary, nothing much of a breakfast, internet is extremely slow

If you don't have any other place in Malaga, if the weather is terrible and outside is dangerous, ok. Otherwise, no, thanks. Humid, dirty and dark place.
