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

Nikolaj, Denmark

The location is excellent. I wasn't expecting luxury as it is a University Residence and was lucky to hav a bathroom next door. A bit noisy, lifts and clanging doors but adequate for my needs and would return. As a single woman I found it comfortingly secure.

Juliet, United Kingdom

Good central location, not expensive. Very basic. OK for a couple of nights.

Jonathan, United Kingdom

VERY FRIENDLY AND -HELPFULL- STAFF!! GOOD IN RELATION TO THE LOW PRICE.

Margarita, Sweden

This was very noisy and you pay extra if you arrive after a certain time.

Audrey, United Kingdom

Simple accomodation, obviously student accomodation during term time, basic, but quiet, a kitchen all to yourself which is great. Some washing up liquid would be good so you could clean up after yourself. Great location, good price. What's not to like. Oh and a good fan to keep the heat down.

Neil, United Kingdom

I liked the location and when I arrived at the reception, it striked me as modern, simple and clean. Plus receptionist knew English, which is quite a rarity in Spain.

“Big room Clean Great location Had microwave good for someone who stays many days ”

“I arrived late but had no problem contacting the staff to meet me at the property. Check-in was quick and simple and apart from that I had no other contact with the staff. The property was generally clean and the wifi was decent. The beds and towels were changed everyday which I didn't expect for such a short stay. The location is the best thing about this property as it is right in the centre and close to some of the best restaurants/bars such as El Pimpi or Casa Lola.”

눉Did not get wifi password but tolerated as it was just for one day. 4th floor, no lift. ¨Leave the shared bathroom clean¨ but nothing to clean with unless you use your towel to mop it up.
눇The location right in the centre.

“Very centrally located - with all pros and cons”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Economy Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The area where the hotel is located is really loud, and if you happen to have windows facing the street, be prepared for high levels of noice basically all night long. Windows are necessary to be kept open, as there is no A/C in the premises. The location basically next door to the Malaga cathedral was however also a huge advantage.

눉Very noisy at night especially Saturday night till 6am. Fine if you're out partying Spanish style, not so good if you want an early night to get up and do some touristy things in the morning.
눇Good central location, not expensive. Very basic. OK for a couple of nights.
