Firstly, I would like to applaud Hector. He was working when I really needed support with something. I was impressed by his humanity, his capacity to listen, to empathize and take the necessary steps to provide assistance. Thank you so much Hector for a job extremely well done!!! I actually re-booked for an additional stay due to Hector's superior customer service skills - I felt listened and understood by the personnel. I also connected with Patricia. I saw her working at the Front Desk almost every day - she patiently answered all my questions. They say a place it's made by its people (employees). You are one of these, RESA. I will always remember my experience and would visit with you again, in a heartbeat and a smile on my face. Muchas gracias!

Nice place, felt more like a hotel then a Hostel. The room had an own bathroom. Comfy beds and my room was really silent. Saturday night there was a Sangria invite in the lobby, it was great to get to know people.

The location is very central, and the hostel facilities, especially the toilets and showers, are exceptionally clean. The beds and pillows are comfortable. Plenty of space to move around the room. They also host a variety of social events, which is important for me as a solo traveler, allowing me to meet many people. The staff are friendly, and the rooftop area is a great spot to relax and socialize.

All hostels in Málaga

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Amazing staff!!!!! :) The hostel gives lots of opportunities for solo travels to enjoy the time in Malaga, meet new people, and have fun. The pods are small, but enough, they look exactly as in the pictures. Good WiFi, a great location. Soap, shower gel, and shampoo were available, which is quite unusual for hostels, so another plus. You can also leave your luggage there for €3 per day. I will definitely choose this place again when I am in Malaga.
