It was my first time in a hostel, and I can say it was great! Although the price is much higher than most hostels, it is truly worth it. The beds were extremely comfortable and clean. The area also has amazing nightlife. Activities are also really fun, this Hostel is perfect for solo travelers without plans. If you aren’t into the hostel life, I definitely recommend looking for a hotel, as the price is about the same.

The receptionist was incredibly kind and even gave me a little tour, as if I had walked into a proper hotel. The idea that, although this is a hostel, everyone can still have their own private room is absolutely fantastic! Especially at such a good price — and the room itself is modern and spotless. The whole place feels like the inside of a Star Wars spaceship. As for the room, it has a touch-screen mirror with lighting, a modern temperature control panel that I can adjust myself, and even the door has a button where I can select “I’m sleeping,” which then appears on a display outside. The whole place is incredibly modern! When I was leaving in the morning, even though I hadn’t booked breakfast, the lovely receptionist kindly offered me a complimentary freshly squeezed orange juice and even offered to make me a coffee if I wanted. So yes, I am extremely satisfied with this hostel — it’s a fantastic place! It’s also very close to the airport, and getting to and from the airport is very easy. I will definitely stay here again during my future work trips. Thank you for this high-tech, professional experience, guys! Some hotels don’t even offer the level of service that you do!

I gotta say that I love the location, you have everything nearby and only 15 min by bus to the city center (or you can even get there walking!) The beach is also super close! You can do your laundry and cook in the kitchen! Beds (with curtains) and the shared bathroom are indeed comfy! Staff is great! 😊

All hostels in Málaga

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Amazing 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.

I stayed here for the 2nd time on my trip - and the staff went beyond expectations to help me! As a solo traveller, I was made to feel safe - when some things had gone wrong (nothing to do with the hotel!). It’s definitely the best hostel in Malaga - and those views are just beautiful. Thankyou so much to the staff - so won’t forget what you did for me!
