Great hostel! The interior is very stylish, lobby looks like a place where you want to hang out all day, instead of going out)) But if you step outside, there is another temptation - bar/coffee place where most of the hostel people chill. You can have your welcome drink there, which is also pretty cool. I had a single room, with double bed just for myself. It was superclean as well as common area (showers and toilets). Mattress and a two pillows were comfortable, the room had hangers and a big mirror. Ladies at the reception helped me with upgrade and check it and in general the staff was very friendly.

People are very open and the hostel is clean. It’s next to the beach and also close to supermarkets and an outdoor workout park that I really enjoyed. Beds were comfortable. It was a great stay for me as a solo traveler.

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I was quite apprehensive to the idea at first. I was relieved when I realized that I would have my own “room” since I would be traveling by myself, and I was so pleased upon arriving. The staff was very friendly, and the facilities WERE SO CLEAN. I couldn't even tell there were other people staying there because everything was spotless. I felt super safe and taken care of knowing that there would be 24hr staff. Bathroom facilities were incredible, and the location was right in the middle of all of the popular spots.

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.

    I stayed here for the 2nd time on my trip - and the staff went beyond expectations to help me! As a solo traveller, I was made to feel safe - when some things had gone wrong (nothing to do with the hotel!). It’s definitely the best hostel in Malaga - and those views are just beautiful. Thankyou so much to the staff - so won’t forget what you did for me!
