The stuff at the TOC Hostel Malaga was fantastic. Great attitude, very helpful and always available... The exceptional customer service and care for their guests is not very common for the hostel environment. From the moment I arrived at the TOC Hostel Malaga I received first - class ( 5 star) service from Christina until the moment I left. Christina will be a great candidate for much HIGHER positions!! It should be simply created for her if not available at the moment. Christina represents her company ( TOC Hostel Malaga) in the BEST possible light and every company in this world will be thrilled to have her! Christina thank you again for everything ( changing room/ lockers, giving me lower bunk bed , printing my boarding pass etc... You're the BEST! 🙏 Now few words about hostel: The prime location of the Hostel is a big plus (close to all major attractions) Facilities were top-notch. Clean , safe & secure environment. Beds are very comfy also.. I didn't have a chance to try their breakfast this time, but from what I heard it is definitely worth trying...so next time for sure! Overall I had the best experience at the TOC Hostel Malaga. Thank you guys so much for making my trip memorable! ❤️ I can't wait to be back.

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!
