It's a very nice hostel. First of all, amazing friendly people working there. They checked cancellations and sent me a message when my plan changed and I needed an extra night in the fully booked hostel. They also helped with a bus timetable without any request, that was very touching :) Muchas gracias a todos 🌹 One will definitely feel welcome there. Other advantages: clean rooms, comfortable madresses, a terrace with a view and many bathrooms (super important for a hostel!). The sea is 5 min away, the city centre - 30 min walking max. Calm area. Recommended!

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.

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!
