The Melting Pot Beach Hostel Malaga Reviews

Loved the proximity to the beach. The blue room smells like mold and I did not like that we didn't have a lock on our door.

Perfect location for those interested in the beach, and a short bus ride from the city center. (You can also walk.) The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, the staff was great, and the kitchen was big! If I come back to Malaga, this is where I'll stay.

Nice hostel. Staff was really friendly. Spoke english well. the bathroom smelled funny, like maybe there was mold. across the street from an unimpressive beach, but a beach non the less. within walking distance from the city center and the bus/train station.

I really enjoyed staying at the Melting Pot. The rooms and bathrooms are quite clean, the vibe is relaxed and friendly, the staff are friendly and helpful. There's a BBQ dinner every night, good way to meet people. There is a nice terrace out back for chilling in the sun. There isn't a pool though, I don't know why the have a picture of that in the photos. There are many buses to take you downtown cheap and easy. At only 10 euros a night, it's great value for money.

What an incredible place. Quite far from the ciy centre but...right by the beach so perfect for chiling. The room was a spacious and the hostel staff really wanted people to have a good time. Not a party hostel like some but not dull and it was great to chill out on the terrace with drinks and the BBQ.

We had a great time staying in this hostel. Staff was really friendly and helpful, the pub crawls are amazing, in the evening they prepare all sorts of food so u r never hungry, beach is literally 10 m away... Heaven on earth for party and chillax souls:)

Stayed for 8 nights and had a great time at the hostel. Staff are greatvand everyone I met was sociable and friendly. Pub crawl starts at 12 and the 7 euro meal is a feast

had a great holiday, the hostel was run by some very nice and helpful people a good location to enjoy th rest of malaga without being right in the center of the city

I had a very pleasant stay at The Melting Pot Beach Hostel Malaga. I definitively recommend it.

The melting pot is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff are so friendly and happy, they can't do enough to help you. It has such a great vibe and a fantastic outdoor area that you can soak up the sun in and meet others. They have a bbq every night and for 7 euros you get the biggest plate of food imaginable! The beach is directly across the road and its only a 20 min walk into town. I absolutely loved my stay here and would reccomend it to anyone visiting Malaga.

This hostel was absolutely perfect! Mickey is a wonderful owner and you can really tell his family puts there all into the place. It was always clean, full stocked with blankets and kitchen supplies. Wonderfully friendly guests and truly the social life they promise. But certainly not an overwhelming party hostel, a very good balance. Only cons are that you have to take a bus to get to the center of the city and the beach could be a bit nicer. But all in all FANTASTIC stay, highly recommend

perfect location if you want to stay on the beach. A little bit out of the historic centre but still walkable. staff friendly and helpful. perhaps a little bit dirty late in the evening, however sparkling clean the next day. just one suggestion - install some lockers for valuables.

A pleasurable experience staying here. I was dissapointed to have only stayed one night.

My friends and I had an amazing time at the melting pot, staff was very helpful and the beach is across the street. Little far from the center, about 25-30 min walk to the main square but we had a great time making dinner and sitting on the patio and then drinking wine on the beach. I felt very safe the whole time. The best hostel experience I've had so far.

Fantastic hostel! The owner was extremely nice and friendly, while all of the staff members were really helpful. Plus it was an awesome location, being right next to the beach. I'd definitely recommend it to friends.

The staff was very accommodating and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner cooks dinner every night, it's very charming. Right across the street from the beach but you have to walk 10-15 minutes to get to the more popular area with beach chairs and restaurants. Only wish could be that the hostel was closer to the center and had more bathrooms. Great place for the price!

Though the staff did seem friendly, one of the members decided that while cleaning out the room for the new hostel guests he'd put my bag outside where anyone had access to it. It ended up sitting in the hot sun until I got back for the day. When I walked into my room looking for it, I had to ask two different people before I could actually locate it. Not only that, but because of this my jacket was stolen and who knows what else.

They keep playing loud, bad pop music in the common area that kind of ruins the chance of good vibes. And it's located right next to a busy road between the beach and the hostel. Other than that, the owner is very nice and also a good cook. You get a lot of food for a good price.

I would only recommend this hostel if you're in college and like to party. I was in a four bed room in the basement, right below the kitchen and common area, and it was super noisy until 2 a.m., and again at 6 a.m. when the bars closed. Since the room was in the basement, it was cold, dark, and smelled a bit mildewed. The positives are that the staff members were all very nice and it's near to the beach. It's not very close to the city but there's a bus stop out front with frequent service.

This hostel was really nice and cozy, with everyone hanging out together on the back patio. The rooms were nice and the showers clean, although it did run out of hot water quite fast. The staff is the nicest you can get and the dinners are really good!
