The location is very good! Very close to the Cathedral

Jackie, Canada

Great location, right in the centre of the old town with loads of bars and restaurants right on the doorstep but the fact it was up an alleyway meant there wasn't a lot of noise when trying to sleep which was great. The housekeepers did a good job keeping it clean and the bed was comfy.

Caoimhe, United Kingdom

The location was excellent. The bedroom and bedsheets were all scrupulous clean. the receptionist was very nice and kind; she did not laugh at us when we couldn't the door. Very near the fortress! Even if you take the wrong turn, nothing is far away. Special mention to Malaga's Christmas light show nearby, it was awesome!

Jazmin, Belgium

Very comfortable beds, hotel is in the city centre, staff is friendly.

Witold, Poland

Silvia, Argentina

Perfect location in downtown. I was able to walk to the cathedral, museum, alcazaba, and magalueta beach. Lots of restaurants, banks, shops all within walking distance.

Nadia, Morocco

The room was perfectly nice and matched the description given on booking.com. Everything was cleaned every day by the staff at the hostel and there was a small kitchen with a fridge. The location was fantastic. Really right in the center of things. It was our first time in Málaga and so it was nice to be close to everything in the center of town.

Expat, United States of America

The location is perfect - in the center, two steps away from numerous bars, cafes, not to forget the Old City, Picasso Museum and the beach. The amenities are pretty basic.

A melting pot of Islamic and Catholic influences, Malaga's old town features the colossal Moorish ruins of the Alcazaba, as well as a strangely "one-towered" cathedral.

It’s not a hotel or even hostel. Room is more prison cell. Tiny, No windows, very dirty. If you travel at winter time be ready that there is just freezing inside - no hitting. They probably will give you a tiny electro hitter, which doesn’t help actually WiFi doesn’t work. There is only one bathroom and toilet (which are not separated) on the floor for 4 or 5 rooms. Extremely old and dirty. It isn’t worth its price, definitely Be ready that you can’t check in or even leave your luggage before 2pm, coz reception is closed. But they are even late for that time. Be ready to wait and call them few times. I wouldn’t recommend this place. For those price you could find some more nice and comfortable rooms in this area.
Nothing, except location. Right in the center.

“Most friendly people!”
- • Leisure trip

We spent our New Year’s Eve having a gala dinner in one of top Malaga’s restaurants and afterwards in a bar we got robbed, everything was gone - all of our credit cards, our passports, our IDs and all the money. We were left with a single one euro in the pocket. Almost not being able to go home, since we didn't have our documents and only a copy of passports, police report and flight tickets are not enough, after the words of embassy, a wonder happened. Malaga's police officers, all the people we met helped us and manager of Residencia Universitaria San Jose came to pick us up to the police station, took us for a late breakfast churros con chocolate (we were starving, since we had only one euro) and encouraged us with his Mexican positivity. The story ended perfect, at the end of the day documents were found (we lost everything and money, but at least the thief was good enough to throw away the documets, so we could go home)! This is not a luxurious hotel, but it's clean and you have a bed, but they are the most friendly people we ever met.

Bathroom looked quite bad and was mouldy, would need refurbishment. There is noise from the street. Room is cold, so take your warm socks and jumper :) We had a bad experience with guests in the room next to us who were shouting and screeming (either were drunk or took some drugs).
The most I liked the view from our window (top floor room). Straight from our bed we could see a catedhral and it was particularly stunning in the evening. Location was very good, everything in the accommodation was okay for a backpacker/ young travellers who are not very picky and do not mind the absence of lift. Overall, the room and bathroom were clean.

More precise information about the room facilities is needed. Room has NO its own kitchenette, fridge, cooker, microwave as it is in the room description. All these are shared along with the bathroom (the latter is noted in description). At the same time room (Room 4) has a cable TV which is not mentioned again. I don't understand why it is so difficult to put exact info about what you are paying for and not. Also more pictures of the room would be an advantage (or disadvantage, depends how you view it)). Location is excellent which compensates (for some guests, like me) all those little things. But again, people need to be sure in what they are looking and booking. And on the main picture is not a hotel actually). Anyway.
Location,location, location. In a heart of the old town. Literally 1 min to Picasso museum, 5 min to cathedral, 8 min to the bus stop to airport (bus A, runs 24h on a schedule, 3 Eur one way, pay to the driver, he gives change). Fully surrounded by little shops and restaurants.

Liked the location, the big downside was that we were not the annexe which was opposite a very noisy bar. I would stay again for we were in the actual halls as it was a quieter street. Apart from that, it was good value, plenty of hot water, clean towels, very clean.
