A very good and high-quality hostel; the rooms are quite comfortable and very clean. The bathroom and toilet are shared, but despite that, the stalls close properly, so there’s no discomfort at all. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Romina, who quickly resolved a small issue with the air conditioner in my room — she’s very friendly and courteous overall. I also liked the breakfast and coffee available in the shared kitchen. I’ll definitely stay here again next time.

Really sweet family-run hostel, they're new but they have a good operation going. Facilities are still being improved but were very functional by the time I was there. Location was great by the beach, but farther out from the city.

I had a very nice stay at Hotel Literal! Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the beds were super comfy — perfect after long days exploring the city. The location is amazing: very close to the city center, walking distance to the beach, and only about 2 minutes from the train station, which made it easy to travel and check out other beautiful coastal towns nearby. What made the stay even better was the people I met — so many interesting conversations and connections. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Definitely a great base for anyone visiting 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.

I stayed here for the 2nd time on my trip - and the staff went beyond expectations to help me! As a solo traveller, I was made to feel safe - when some things had gone wrong (nothing to do with the hotel!). It’s definitely the best hostel in Malaga - and those views are just beautiful. Thankyou so much to the staff - so won’t forget what you did for me!
