    6-beds room I stayed in doesn't have hot water so you have to go to common bathroom to take a shower. Also the door of the room is problematic that you need to push hard to open and close it. The socket I used was open so it was pretty dangerous, it needs to be fixed, I couldn't use any locker, we were 6 in the room and had 8 lockers but all of them were occupied :D?

    It was better than I expected, at least I could get a good sleep, people in my room was not problematic. It's not the cleanest place but it is not dirty.

    Awful security. My phone was stolen at the hostel and they didn't have any cameras in place. One of the staff members was quite rude when I explained my situation and apparently someone else's phone was stolen a few days earlier too. Also lots of mosquitos and ants in the room and definitely too pricey for a room without AC. Lastly, there was only one bathroom per floor which was annoying.

    Alright location and nice rooftop terrace

    No sleep all night until around 5.30am then managed to get 30 mins. Soo noisy. Would not recommend. Raised a case with booking. The only bedroom light is above the fan so acts like a strobe light when fan is on. Had to get a lamp to use. Can't close the windows and doors cos so stuffy with 6 beds but the noise is unreal, can hear the whole building. Wasn't just me that was kept up all night, room mate was the same.

    Has a lift which is unusual.

    I definitely don't recommend this accomodation. It was the only one out of the 3 weeks holiday in Spain that was not nice. We were taking to another place, not the one showed on the photo, had to walk carrying the suitcases to get there. Bedroom without air conditioning, a fan very slow, so it was so hot and impossible to sleep. Bathroom leaking water to the corridor, so we had to clean everytime we showered. Didn't have loopaper and the window of the bedroom did not close. The bed was not good as well, really thin and you could feel the springs.

    Actually the only thing I liked there was the staff. They were nice and when I asked to leave a day earlier as I could not sleep again there I was given half of the money back, so they were helpful.

    The room was in an attic where you cannot stand straight. It was extremely hot (hotter than on the street) with a small window at the floor level. The fan didn’t help at all. It was extremely uncomfortable. The floor was dirty with big dust clusters clearly visible- no one even cleaned it before you moved in. Bedding had hair. Bathroom had no mirror.

    It was the cheapest option in the area although it was not cheap at all in terms of what you got from it.

    Terrible Experience, Avoid This Hostel
    • Leisure trip

    In addition to all of these issues, the lack of security in the room was alarming. I advise against staying at this hostel if you value your safety and well-being. Frankly, sleeping on the street would have been a better option than enduring such terrible conditions. Overall, my experience at this hostel was nothing short of a nightmare. I would recommend avoiding this establishment at all costs. There are far better accommodations available in the area that prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and basic amenities. Furthermore, the location of this hotel was also a major disappointment. The neighborhood itself was in extremely poor condition, with dog feces and drug dealers. If you're considering booking a hotel in Malaga, I strongly advise steering clear of this neighborhood altogether. While I must acknowledge that the hotel clerk was friendly, it ultimately made little difference. She seemed well aware of the numerous issues plaguing the establishment, and her response to our concerns was always the same: there were no other options available in Malaga at this price point. However, I must emphasize that even if that were true, sleeping on the street would have been a vastly preferable alternative to this dreadful hostel. During checkout, we encountered yet another problem. Despite it being 9 o'clock, there was no staff member present at the front desk. We waited for a staggering 30 to 40 minutes, attempting to contact them by phone, but our calls went unanswered. In the end, we had no choice but to leave the keys in a specified (in a vase!) location and inform them via text. It was a highly unprofessional and frustrating experience. In my earnest attempt to find even one redeeming quality about this establishment, I came up empty-handed. The combination of the awful location, unresponsive staff, and the numerous issues we encountered throughout our stay left me with an overwhelmingly negative impression. I strongly advise against choosing this hotel.

    Nothing! Just try to write here, because it's not enough words for the bad situation at this hostel! I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at this hotel, and I must say it was absolutely dreadful. I spent two nights in this horrible hostel, and I can honestly say it was the worst accommodation I have ever encountered. Firstly, the hostel is split into two separate buildings, with one of them located more than a 5-minute walk away. To make matters worse, our room was initially offered in the first building, which turned out to be a conex box right next to the toilets, which were also housed in conex boxes. We had no choice but to opt for the second building. The room we were given was located on the third floor, and to our dismay, the elevator was out of order. This meant we had to climb up the stairs with our luggage, which was extremely inconvenient. To add insult to injury, the internet in the hostel was practically non-existent. When we inquired about it, the staff informed us that we could only access the internet on the first floor. This restriction was highly inconvenient and did not meet even the most basic expectations. The condition of the room was appalling. The two old metal beds were uncomfortable and the entire space was extremely dirty. It was evident that these makeshift rooms on the rooftop were far from meeting any standard of cleanliness. There were no amenities in the room, such as a mirror, internet access, or air conditioning. The shared bathroom and toilet facilities were even worse. They were shared with other rooms and were by far the dirtiest I have ever encountered. The shower was broken, unable to stay on its stand, and the water temperature was barely warm. To make matters worse, there was no fan in the bathroom or toilet area, which resulted in an unpleasant and stuffy environment.

    Guests are instructed to run the shower and wait for hot water, it took on average 20 minutes which is wasteful and inconvenient. The keys to the doors did not always work. To leave the room you need a key and the door was always getting stuck. I had to wake another guest in the room to force the door open so I could leave. This is dangerous in case of an emergency such as a fire! In my room of 6, there was a guest that was clearly very ill and/or homeless and another who the staff needed to call the police on for him to leave.

    Staff was nice and kitchen/shared facilities served their purpose.
