About

The Lights City Rooms offer the perfect combination of hotel-style privacy and hostel-style atmosphere, right in the heart of Málaga. Located next to the city’s vibrant Central Market, many of our rooms feature balconies with direct views over the colorful bustle below. Each room is newly renovated and designed for maximum comfort, with high-quality beds, modern ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, and large flat-screen TVs.

What truly sets The Lights City Rooms apart is the access to all the social perks and shared facilities of our sister property, The Lights Hostel, just a few steps away. Guests can enjoy a welcoming rooftop terrace and bar, free sangria evenings, organized activities like beach volleyball, walking tours, family dinners, and pub crawls—perfect for meeting other travelers while still enjoying your own private space.

Our communal areas include a fully equipped shared kitchen, coworking and lounge zones, and laundry facilities. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a small group, you’ll have everything you need to relax, work, or socialize.

We’re located in the best possible spot to explore Málaga: walking distance to the Cathedral, Paseo del Parque, the waterfront port, Malagueta Beach, and major museums and landmarks. We’re also just 300 meters from the Alameda Central train station, making us easily accessible from the airport or surrounding cities.

We offer a variety of private room types to suit different group sizes and needs, all focused on guest comfort and convenience. Whether you're in town for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, you’ll find a home base here.

Our 24-hour reception is located at The Lights Hostel on Calle Torregorda 3, just around the corner. There, our friendly bilingual team is always available to help with check-in, local tips, and anything else you might need during your stay.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for 2 nights! The room was clean, airy and spacious. There was a fridge, plenty of charging points and even shower gel, shampoo and a great hair dryer! The views were great from the second floor. Two balconies to choose from too so you could enjoy a a coffee whilst watching Málaga in action! Fantastic, powerful shower. Really comfortable bed. Security was excellent. Every time you walked into the building you could smell the bakery too! Superb!

We stayed in a private for 3 nights really good value. The privates are in a building next door to the hostel but you can easily use the hostel facilities such as breakfast for 5 euros.

Excellent staff, geat location with many places to eat close by including the Atarazanas and close to airport connection and historic centre. Activites organised everyday if you wish to join to meet fellow travellers and rooftop dinners everynight which are always very good. You can also have breakfast in the morning for only 3e to set you up for the day. Overall an excellent stay and will choose to stay here if visiting Malaga again - 5 stars.
