The location is very central, and the hostel facilities, especially the toilets and showers, are exceptionally clean. The beds and pillows are comfortable. Plenty of space to move around the room. They also host a variety of social events, which is important for me as a solo traveler, allowing me to meet many people. The staff are friendly, and the rooftop area is a great spot to relax and socialize.

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.
