The receptionists were just TOP NOTCH! Having locals that can actually give you suggestions is SO important when you arrive in a new city as a traveller. they were always very attentive, remembered my name, when I had questions about ANYTHING - where to go for sunset, eat, shop, trips I wanted to attend, they could provide me with suggestions or advice. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Lots of space. Rooftop really nice when the sun is out. Pool was chilly this time a year. I imagine summer will be next level amazing. Definitely would recommend.

Finally a hostel with free towels :) This hostel is very laid-back and doesn’t demand anything of you. You can come and go, cook food, do laundry and recharge totally unbothered and there is a lovely common area where you can chill. I really recommend!

The location was great, easy access to the old town and the marina, with many great restaurants just a few minutes away. The staff was quite friendly and helpful. The room itself was small and cozy, great value for the money. Having an option to do laundry with a dryer was also very helpful.

Super nicely decorated and clean place. The rooms are very light with huge windows and a little balcony with seating and overall very cosy place. There are also a big rooftop terrace with a sea and mountains view and another one close to the kitchen. The hostel is in a calm part of the city and even though it seems further away from the center, there are at least three bus lines connected to the center going super often. There’s also a large grocery store nearby.

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!
