The receptionists were just TOP NOTCH! Having locals that can actually give you suggestions is SO important when you arrive in a new city as a traveller. they were always very attentive, remembered my name, when I had questions about ANYTHING - where to go for sunset, eat, shop, trips I wanted to attend, they could provide me with suggestions or advice. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Lots of space. Rooftop really nice when the sun is out. Pool was chilly this time a year. I imagine summer will be next level amazing. Definitely would recommend.

Really sweet family-run hostel, they're new but they have a good operation going. Facilities are still being improved but were very functional by the time I was there. Location was great by the beach, but farther out from the city.

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!

    Amazing Hostel! Apart from the great location, always clean and organized common spaces and rooms, the social environment promoted by the employees is superb! The cheap and tasty dinner at the rooftop is a great way to finish a sunny day in malaga, while getting to know people!
