Location was perfect, facilities very clean considering I was worried about a shared bathroom, spacious room and bathroom and felt very safe

Daisy, United Kingdom

The location was perfect. very central! you can reach many attractions by foot if you wish to endeavour in such activity. Many bars and cafés nearby also. Perfect for that morning coffee or evening pint!

Carlos, Ireland

The area The staff on reception Beautiful building

Katharine, United Kingdom

Great location, 1 block from Cathedral, right in City Center within walking distance to every tourist

Iago, Spain

The location was very central. Close to bus access and in the center part of Malaga. 20min walk to beach. Near all restaurant. Cathedral and museums.

Barbara, Canada

The residence seems to own several, quite different style houses and rooms. The ones on the pictures look very clean, modern and simple. The one we received was in a beautiful but worn old building, spacious, only 4 rooms around a patio and small sitting room and with an elementary kitchen and a toilet and bathroom. All good for the price.

Marianne, Belgium

The location was fantastic. right in the heart of Malaga city and perfect for sightseeing and close by bars and retaurants.

Trevor, Ireland

Really central and affordable with the city sights on your doorstep. Basic accomodation but good value for money.

Laura, United Kingdom

Location is perfect! Right in the center, walking distance from historical sights and public transport. Staff was welcoming and comprehensive and apartment was clean and as advertised. Shared bathroom on floor with 3 other residences, nice and clean. Beds are less comfy but if you like hard mattresses, you are in for a treat!

Francesca, Canada

Very Nice people at the place and good service from all. Good location

What Travelers Love About This Location

“the price was great, the location was ideal, though we were expecting to stay in an actual university so it took a while to find as the residence is tucked away down a tiny passageway! Clean and bright with a glimpse over the rooftops of the Alcazaba from our room”

Rhona

United Kingdom

“Its very near to palaya beach, picaso museum and so many places.”

눉The shower never had hot water. It was almost always cold. The internet did not reach our room. We had to sit outside on the stairs. The beds were really hard. Which I can deal with, but when we complained about the water and Internet. We were told this was the economy room. So this was it. The picture do not represent what you end up getting.
눇The location was very central. Close to bus access and in the center part of Malaga. 20min walk to beach. Near all restaurant. Cathedral and museums.

눉The location was perfect,centrally in the city center. The beach could be reached by 10-15 minutes walking. In the room there were 2 twin beds,wardrobe (totally broken),desk and a chair.Small fan was trying to cool the room. The room was quite dirty when we moved in and don't expect quite night and good sleep there. The taxi stop is just in front of your window. I am very dissapointed with the hostel.
