The girl in the reception was not friendly at all and didn’t answer to our questions. Also the bathroom was always really dirty
I liked the location and the fact that the room had a balcony

“Fantastic for the price and location, but 100% basic.”

- • Solo traveler

Someone described the vibe as "Spartan-like" and I think that sums it up perfectly. This place has zero decor and the rooms have skeletons of furniture - come only expecting a bed to sleep at night. It's perfect if you plan to spend the whole day and night outside. The bed was super clean and comfortable, I felt very relaxed there. However it is noisy from the outside and you can hear people in other rooms too - light sleepers should avoid. My room/building had NO wifi, and the kitchen was not usable (super old and basic, with no silverware, plates etc). I would not cook or store food there. Shared bathroom was clean and nice enough.
This is a perfect place for solo travelers looking for a budget stay in a super-central location. Right in the middle of the old town, with a short and beautiful stroll to the beach. Super, super basic place (do not expect wifi or a usable kitchen), but it is very clean!!

It’s a really basic room. But if you only sleep there is totally fine.
Location is insane.

The shower didn't have a holder. So you had to hold it with one hand. But for 1 night we didn't mind that much.
Everything was as described. The late check in worked, it was clean and in the center. The best option if to u want to sleep low budget!

It's in the old and beautiful center of Malaga and therefore somewhat noisy because it's in a crowded small alley where sounds resonates....
Easy access and fine bed! Clean and centrally located.

Staff was so rude to me and my wifey I felt really bad about the whole stay in this place. See, I was sick and feverish when we got to hostel and I asked for help from the desk but staff kept being rude to me and he left us to be the last who got the key tho we were first in the line. It took more than half an hour to get to my room. I have never been treated this bad anywhere. Sorry. I had to say. ...also the room smelled like old cigarette smoke and pesticides. :(
Temperature was ok

“Great location, value for money, but NO luxury”

Check in difficult as the desk is only manned between 2pm and 8pm. We arrived the first time at 8:30 pm and the second time at noon. Granted the information did tell us the check in times, but it was not convenient. We stayed here at the beginning of our holiday in Spain and again at the end. Both times we were in the same building, same floor ( they have 3 buildings) the building was quite dilapidated with broken steps, a weak bannister, torn and tattered curtains, doors missing from wardrobes; a broken loose tile right where you get out of bed barefoot... The bathroom was the biggest problem. One bathroom for 4 double bedrooms. Toilet in with the shower. No wall bracket for the shower hose and no screen or curtain so impossible not to flood the bathroom when attempting to shower. 'kitchen facilities' a fridge, a microwave, 3 plates, 1 fork, one spoon and a bottle opener. Still, we were grateful for the fridge.
Good value for money as it was a great location, it was clean and the beds and pillows comfortable. Probably the most important criteria.

“Its passable if your just drinking all night and using it as only a bed. In general dont stay here.”
- • Leisure trip

The cleaner is a monster. She is the rudest person I've ever met. That alone would make me never stay here again. Its so loud, its like you sleep on the street. There was a weak door between my room and other guests, i could hear them perfectly like they were in the room with me. Shower and toilet looked grim.
I had an ok bed in the centre of the city. The balcony was nice. There was the use of a toilet.

Like others have mentioned before, this place needs better signage. I only found this place because of another tourist who took pity on me. Other guests in the place love to slam doors at all hours of the night. Reception staff aren't very nice or helpful
At least the cleaning staff were cheerful. Small but comfortable room. Great location in the middle of Centro Historico near everything and lots of bars and restaurants around. Cheap price but overall, worth the money
