The lack of a desk is now a problem. I have stayed twice but I cannot repeat without some sort of desk or work bench to do my computer and papers.

The room was lovely and the staff was helpful and great. It is in the Malaga old city. The shopping area very close to it. Also, it is close to the Alcazaba, which is one of the main attraction in Malaga.

The loacation was fantastic. Everything from bars restaurants museums and beach all within easy walking distance. Victor was great. Really helpful and knowledgeable. They’re doing roadworks all along the street that the hotel is on but they don’t cause a problem. My only suggestion would be a safe in the room. Malaga is a beautiful safe city. I’d definitely be visiting again.

Very large room renovated completely in late 2022. Receptionist Victor was very helpful, charming and cheerful. I was thinking to stay again but NO the wifi is so slow- not movies -just Facebook and websites. Come on . You spent a pile of money on a beautiful renovation, and then buy crappy, limited wifi routers.

Really nice place! They're currently doing the hostel up to turn it into a hotel, and our room had been completed. The room was really modern and comfortable with lovely decor. Also a great location. The only issue was the shower overflowed when we used the bigger showerhead.

Positive: Helpful and friendly personnel. Central location Kitchen fairly equipped Negative: No heating in the room or any other heating option provided except second blanket, and taking into account that the windows (and the place in general) is super old, it's very cold in the winter. Rooms have very thin walls and you can hear every single noise from outside like there are no doors at all. No hot water in the kitchen to clean the dishes, which in combination with the lack of heating in the hostel it's a very negative sign. The showers are not very clean. There is only one for woman and one for men placed in different floors, but no one is respecting the rules and it might happened that men are way too bored to get one floor down and use the women showers (zero control from property's side), therefore is not very safe to have a shower in a women's showers. The water pressure in the showers is super low and not working properly. Some of the shower phones are damaged and seems that are not replaced for several years now. You need to wait for several minutes until the hot water runs. The light is with sensors and it's switching off every 4 min, therefore if you are in the shower and didn't have time to have a shower in the specific amount of time the light will simply switch off and you need to get out of the shower, walk towards the door to enable the sensors and the light (remember, no heating and men are using same showers). Very disappointing.

not good
Barely any water came from the shower, there were hairs everywhere, the bed was not comfy at all and the air conditioning didn't work and the ceiling fan made no impact. also, they need a plug-in device to prevent mosquitoes.

The staff are very friendly. There were two helpful males and a very nice lady. However, the hostel is not ideal for someone who is travelling alone and hopes to connect with others. The bathrooms are very small, so if you're nervous in tiny spaces, probably not the hostel for you. I think what the hostel has going for them is the staff and its location. It's conveniently located near everything that matters. They do try to keep the place clean and require a one euro deposit for the key. The deposit is returned to you once you leave. There is no hang out or commons area.

This was a pretty bad hostel, the girl's dorm had 4 bunk beds and no lock on the door, extremely noisy all throughout the night with shouting from the street and the lobby. The beds were very low quality, shakey and creaky. Location was good, late check in was good and the guy on the desk was very helpful.

A place to stay if you need to
Situated at the skirt of old downtown, so it is noisy. Old bunk beds that is difficult to sit up to. I even bend with my head out when sitting down to chat with others. Door of either room and bathroom does not close. Bathroom is clean but very little room for manoeuvre. No plug for phone recharge bu my bed. Building is old.

Great location but too noisy
Quite a slow check in but the staff were very helpful. Strong smell of tobacco and foist in the reception however the room was ok. Big spacious room, but was very noisy with local building work, cars beeping and people coming out of bars. Helpful with a small shop across the road, along with constant taxies awaiting over the road. centre of Malaga literally a few minutes walk.

Nice hotel near everything!
The hotel is very close of the center and close to the airport buses, a must if you are like me, walking with my overweight pack-sack! I loved it.

Buenas tardes Oliva,eso no es cierto.En la habitación detrás de la puerta hay un cartel que pone "por favor, hágame la habitación". Cuando este se deja fuera, se hace la habitación. Sin permiso no entramos a habitaciones de clientes.Habiendo estado 3 noches, era tan fácil como comentarlo al segundo día y se le explica.Que tenga buen día y gracias por la reseña

Estancia corta para conocer Malaga
Fue un viaje corto de disfrute y nos quedamos solo una noche. La chica de la recepción muy amable . La habitación estuvo bien. No sentí ruido a pasar de estar cerca de una calle concurrida durante la noche. El baño un poco incómodo queda en un piso diferente , pero bien. El estacionamiento pensé que estaba incluido porque no dice qué hay que pagarlo ni tampoco las condiciones , solo cubre 10 horas con un precio especial, segun dicen. La cama y la almohada me parecieron suaves.

Pésimo
Para nada es como se ve en las fotos, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba y muchas habitaciones tenian un ventilador y sin ventanas, sin tv en las habitaciones, y el baño de mujeres se comunica con las ventanas de algunas habitaciones. Vaya que te estas duchando y te estan viendo. Reclamamos y la contestación fue que no habia solución.
