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.

The hostel is very clean, and the beds are comfortable. Clean and nice sheets. Great staff, great location. We had a room with just one bunk bed, which was great.

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.

Ideal youth hostel for backpackers. Very friendly staff. Felt safe the whole stay. 5min from the beach. Supermarket close by. Hostel has a big kitchen with all the things you need. Perfect terrace on the roof for sunbathing or sunset watching:)

Amazing Hostel! Apart from the great location, always clean and organized common spaces and rooms, the social environment promoted by the employees is superb! The cheap and tasty dinner at the rooftop is a great way to finish a sunny day in malaga, while getting to know people!
