Reviews
We stayed in the 10 bed dorm, and it was good enough. There were some cleanliness concerns if that’s important to you. The bathroom trash was overflowing, crumbs on the ground for days, and it didn’t seem like anyone stopped in to clean more than every few days, if that. The bathroom also frequently smelled of sewage, so they may have some issues with their pipes. The mattress was probably the worst hostel mattress I’ve ever slept on. BUT the staff was very friendly, your towel is free, and the location is excellent. Just so-so, but it works fine enough.
Amazing experience when I came I got to leave my baggage before checking in (went to Plaza Mayor some hours) nice rooms but wish there were no water pipes straight over my bed😬 made noise…. But I have ear plugs with me✌️nice people working here and such nice cafeteria! I took some pictures of the cafe downstairs and Laura who worked here🌸🌸
The hostel is honestly super basic. If I’m not wrong, there’s no actual kitchen to cook in—just a microwave. There is only one window for the entire dormitory, so even though it’s somewhat spacious, it feels really crowded at the same time. There’s shared bathroom for 10 people, which is a bit of a struggle! On the plus side, the location is great and the staff working here are really nice. They do give you a towel, though, which is a plus! it is so noisy at night. Since the hostel is right on the street where there is bars so you hear everything…
We visited this hostel/cafe/hotel two years ago. It is in the heart of this beautiful and fantastic city. Overall it was a amazing experience. Clean, good looking cheesecakes, breakfast, coffee and service. Friendly staff etc. The bar next to the hostel was a piece of art. Yes it was a little loud but, we managed this very smoothly and we took advantage of that bar, and we purchased variety of beers every night to enjoy the amazing atmosphere of Malaga in this beautiful hostel. Also every night we ordered 20 inch burritos from Glovo and we ate that burritos in the bed while we were drinking our beers. I wonder why people critisize this place, it is a hostel and not a 5 STAR COMPLEX! We will definitely visit again. Peace out ✌🏼✌🏼
