Had a great stay at this hostel! The place is clean, well located, and has a friendly atmosphere. A special shoutout to Samir, who works there he’s incredibly helpful, kind, and always makes sure guests feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a welcoming and affordable place to stay, I’d definitely recommend it!

It was a block away from the beach - easy access. The street it’s located in was very safe. There are restaurants and grocery store that’s walking distance. I also like how they provide containers to store your food in the kitchen. Overall a great experience.

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!
