Stayed with a mate 24-28 March, check in was all done over email and we were given the codes for the doors, our key was waiting in our door which had a fob for getting through the main door rather than remembering the code. Couldn't fault the service, room itself was basic but clean and tidy, for the price it was a steal. Only one bathroom to share between the rooms, but I only once encountered someone else in there. I never really met the host but my friend did one evening, and said he was great and to tell him if he reads this that Jamie does really exist as he's writing this review!
An unforgettable stay in the heart of Málaga From the moment we arrived, this place exceeded our expectations. The room itself was exactly what we needed after long days exploring the city. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the large wooden shutters on the windows were a fantastic touch. They blocked out almost all the light and most of the noise from the square outside, which meant we could sleep peacefully and wake up when we wanted without being disturbed — something that really made a difference to our stay. The bathroom was spotless every time we used it, and the basics were always taken care of. Simple things like soap and plenty of toilet roll were consistently provided, which made everything feel easy and well-managed. But the real highlight — and the reason I would recommend this place to anyone — was the people. Our hosts, Conrad and Cara, were absolutely exceptional. They made us feel genuinely welcome from the very start. One evening we returned a bit earlier than planned; one of my friends wanted to head to bed, while I was still up for a relaxed night. I went to say hello to them and instantly felt included. They introduced me to their friends, offered me a beer, and made me feel completely at home. We ended up having the kind of conversations that stay with you — the sort where you feel refreshed and uplifted even a week later. It was honestly one of the best nights of the whole trip, not because of anything extravagant, but simply because it was such a relaxed, genuine evening with people who felt like close friends. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, cleanliness, and truly warm hospitality, this is it. I would stay here again without hesitation.
