Cozy place very close to the sea. The beds are comfy and have their curtains, so you may get your personal space. The living area is quiet and calm - good for working if you need. Hot shower worked perfectly. Laundry for €7. Free coffee in the morning. The staff is welcoming and always happy to help. Highly recommend.

Location is great, walking distance to all the main attractions in the city center. The place is in perfect conditions, the decoration in the lobby is lovely with all the flowers and the chairs to sit. They also have a bar there where you can order a glass of wine or beer and have a relaxing time just chilling in a couch. Not that much of a social place to hang out and meet new people but rather a comfortable space to have a good night sleep. Beds are comfortable and overall pretty clean spaces. Alejandro at the lobby was awesome!

Located close to the main things to see in Malaga. The staff is super nice and always willing to help. You get a free shot on the check-in, the terrace is super nice and the kitchen is probably one of the cleanest ones I've ever seen in an hostel. Also the toilettes were very clean and comfortable. Beds have curtains so you can have privacy. Super good vibes. I totally recommend it

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!
