Hostels aren't for me. I could not get into the bathroom, the toilet paper was not replenished all day. However, the staff were very friendly.

wonderful stay & lovely staff!
We were greeted by Natalia. She was so kind to all of us and suggested a lot of places to visit in Malaga. I think we're the only ones occupying the hostel so it was very pleasent and quiet night in the hostel. The only complaint I have is about the bathroom door on level 2 or 3 (cant recall) left us hard time opening it. Overall it was an awesome experience and I wouldnt hesitate to spend the nights here in the future.

Friendly budget option
Good location in north of old town in area with good value restaurants. Hotel has limited reception hours but makes up with helpfulness and friendluness. Shared kitchen available with free hot drinks and roof terrace. Not en suite and no air con but would not expect in this price range. Pleasant rooms with electric heating. Large window in our room not best fitting and so not great sound proofing but in reasonably quiet area.

No star hotel
This is the worst hostel you can get. As an experienced backpacker I can state that this has been a lower level place than any of the guest houses or hostels I stayed in the last 30 years of backpacking. Their advertizing on the internet is tricky and does get you wrong. There is no toilet in any of the hostel rooms. The cancellation policy is not clearly shown before you book online, so be careful if you are not sure you want to stay there.

Pleasant and welcoming
It is a simple hotel but pleasant and welcoming. The use of the kitchen, seating area and the coffee were very welcome. My bedroom did not have its own bathroom but I was only expected to share with people from one other room. The pillow was too hard and high for me and there was quite a lot of noise in the main street at night. But generally it is good for the price and well located.

Fantastic friendly hostel in the heart of Malaga
A superb hostel set in a traditional old house which is very well equipped. Lovely helpful staff. They don't take credit cards so you'll have to pay by cash when you get there. Would definitely go back!

À éviter absolument !!!!!
Au secours, les plombs sautent dès que quelqu'un allume. L'électricité est dangereuse l'hôtel est dans un état de délabrement avancé et d'une propreté plus que douteuse. La gentillesse de l'hôtesse d'accueil ne suffit pas vraiment pour dépasser tous ces inconvénients

Hotel heeft grote nood aan een stevige onderhoudsbeurt: bv: kraan hangt volledig los uit lavabo, douchekop werkt armzalig etc Gezamenlijke badkamer is best ok, maar als je die moet delen met 10 mensen én het toilet bevindt zich in die badkamer en niet apart, dat is niet evident. Gordijnen laten alle licht door waardoor je heel vroeg wakker wordt. Deuren van de kamers sluiten slecht af, waardoor heel rumoerig: je hoort héél veel van de andere kamers Zo goed als geen opbergruimte voor kleding etc maar ook geen plaats om valies te zetten, dus toch vrij onhandig om aan je spullen te geraken. Ik vond de verhouding prijs/kwaliteit dus niet zo goed.

Sehr hübsches Hostel mit schönem Zimmer
Vom Flughafen Malaga ca 20 min mit dem Taxi in's Zentrum von Malaga. Das Hostel liegt in einer Seitenstrasse und ist mitten im Zentrum der Stadt. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß innerhalb von 20 min zu erreichen wie auch der Strand. Das Team des Hostel's ist wunderbar und sehr Hilfsbereit. Volle zufriedenheit !!!!

hôtel bien placé mais bruyant
Nous avons été très bien accueillis, l'hôtel est bien placé . Cependant, nous avons "dormi" dans la chambre au dernier étage (en face de la terrasse) : la terrasse devait être fermée à 23h, or elle est restée accessible toute la nuit, des gens y sont restés une partie de la nuit, ont parlé, ri, fumé, sachant que la fenêtre de notre chambre donnait sur la terrasse l'odeur de cigarette a envahi la chambre . Ces mêmes personnes n'avaient pas éteint la lumière des escaliers comme demandé (escaliers donnant accès à notre chambre et à la terrasse), sachant qu'une deuxième fenêtre dans la chambre donnait sur ces escaliers, nous avions également droit à la lumière pour "dormir" . Nous nous levions très tôt pour nous rendre à l'aeroport et prendre la route, nous n'avons pas pu nous reposer à cause de gens irrespectueux . Il faisait très chaud aussi (chambre tout en haut) pas de clim juste des ventilateurs . Cet endroit aurait pu être bien mais nous n'en gardons pas une bonne experience .

Très bon accueil, chambres propres et spacieuses
Accueil très chaleureux, de bons conseils. L'établissement est agréable et confortable. Peut-être un bémol à cause du bruit sur la rue (manque d'isolation)

Великолепное расположение
Очень понравился этот маленький уютный, почти домашний отель. Расположение идеальное, до центра максимум 5 минут, в отеле чисто, светло, Виктор и Кристина очень отзывчивы и доброжелательны, всегда сразу откликались на любую нашу просьбу. Мы чувствовали себя как дома, и, конечно, если еще раз попадем в Малагу, выберем только этот недорогой и полюбившийся нам отель.
