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!
