I liked the fact that you get an individual pod for yourself. I thought it was shared but it’s more like a really tiny room to yourself. Really tiny, maybe 3-5m. Also the fact that you get a key to your pod so your belongings are safe.

TeutaSolo traveller - Avg. price/night: £85.818.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 3,173 reviewsAmazing staff!!!!! :) The hostel gives lots of opportunities for solo travels to enjoy the time in Malaga, meet new people, and have fun. The pods are small, but enough, they look exactly as in the pictures. Good WiFi, a great location. Soap, shower gel, and shampoo were available, which is quite unusual for hostels, so another plus. You can also leave your luggage there for €3 per day. I will definitely choose this place again when I am in Malaga.PaulinaSolo traveller
