First of all the staff are super friendly and young. They welcome you with a big and warm smile. Then they should how things work and where you’ll be sleeping etc. The hostel itself is very clean and well managed. There’s a kitchen and fridges where you can store and cook your own food. There’s a passcode to enter the hostel which makes things a lot easier if you’re a night owl that likes getting “home” late.

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.

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!
