It's a comfortable place to stay. A very small hostel only about 10 rooms accommodating varying numbers. It's a 15-20 bus ride out of Malaga. 20 mins taxi from airport. The bus is 2 mins walk from the hostel. €1.40 to Malaga. Loads to see and do there! Recommend the Alcazabar.. it's like a mini Alhambra but only €3.50! Not able to use beach due to the debris washed up by the floods. We chose the hostel because it was advertised as close to the beach. One day we had floods when we stayed but we were on the 1st floor. Great roof terrace to soak up the sun! Not a huge hostel but definitely a good way to meet new people!

You had to pay €10 to rent a locker to store bags on while waiting for a late flight. A lot of hostels have a free luggage store.

The hostel La Moraga de Poniente is pretty cool. I've felt very welcomed and safe there through my whole stay, which is great coming from a female solo traveller. The beds are comfortable and you're able to have a bit of privacy due to the curtains. The staff is amazing, especially the hostel manager Jonny, with whom you can have very great and wise conversations. Moreover, the hostel is pretty clean with a good kitchen, which has everything you need. It's a great place to socialize with like-minded people. The location in the Pedregalejo / El Palo neighborhood is pretty nice, because those are the more local neighborhoods of Málaga. Near to the hostel you can easily find a Mercadona and lots of other shops and bakeries to buy food and daily groceries. Also, the beach is pretty close to the hostel, you just have to go down the street, perfect for watching the sunset every evening. Furthermore the hostel offers a bike rental service.

It's nothing bad, but you have to know that the hostel is located a bit far off the city centre, which is why you have to take the bus using the bus lines 3, 8 or 11 for about 15-25 minutes, depending on where in the centre you want to go. Travel tip: every bus ride costs 1.40€, they accept card payment. There is room for improvement in terms of activities offered by the hostel, e.g. city walking tours to get to know the area and other hostel guests a bit more or cooking tacos or other big meals together. Also I would suggest the hostel to put up a board with information about free activities in the area, e.g. the Alcazaba is free on Sundays after 2pm. All in all the hostel has great potential!

This is a really great place to stay, you have everything you need, a comfortable bed, clean facilities and a fabulous roof terrace. This was my third time visiting, and each time I have settled in with ease. The hostel is very close to the beach front bars and restaurants of Pedregelajo, the bus stop is 1 minute down the road into the town centre, Mercadona is close by. The bathroom is shared and separate from the bedroom which I always prefer anyways and the kitchen is decent. I will absolutely be back

Great location with plenty of shops and restaurants near by. Close to the beach. Easy access to Malaga via bus or if you can walk. Clean and fresh. Room was ok, loved the balcony. Bed had own light, socket and curtain for privacy. However though the room had a mirror it was hard to use it due to poor location of one of bed units. Hair dryer in room but no spare plug sockets, and you can’t dry your hair in front of mirror due to bed being in way. Disliked: Despite the bathrooms clearly stating for which gender I was shocked to find an older male using the female bathroom. Signs stating kitchen out of use after certain hours but this was not followed. Signs need to be in a different colour as some hard to read due to colour of text. Also minor point - on ladies bathrooms would be good if you could spell ladies correctly!

I liked that everything is so convenient,the beds with curtains,the bed lights and the lockers are amazing

Lovely location by El Palo, outside of the chaos and tourist-centrism of Malaga proper. 5 min walk to the beach, several nice options for food and drinks nearby in the little centre. Bed in double room was extremely comfortable, sun terrace a wonderful addition. Make sure you get the 10-trip bus card so journeys to and from the city cost only about 0.50 each, running regularly through the day and even a few at night

Only downside was that we (2 men) had the room directly by the women’s bathroom, and the men’s was on a different floor so there was a but of running up and down the stairs in-between. Road is a bit noisy to use the individual balcony, but with the door shut we didn’t hear it at all.

This was my first experience in a hostel travelling solo and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The location is perfect for when you want to be close to town, (especially) the beach, and if you prefer to be in a more local and chill area. I felt very safe walking alone at night, and the people in the neighbourhood are so friendly. The hostel looks like the pictures, and has a very welcoming and cosy vibe. There are plenty of common spaces to hang out (including a roof terrace with an amazing view both at day and night!!!). The kitchen has good facilities and there is a washing machine to use (against a small cost). The room I stayed in was spacious enough for everyone's stuff and the bed was comfortable. The road can be noisy, but thanks to the double-glazed doors (closing them at night cancels out the noise) and some earplugs, I slept like a baby. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I arrived late and received clear instructions for the check-in. I got some nice recommendations for places to visit in the area, and I had the most amazing and interesting conversations with Johnny, the hotel manager! Thank you so much for this lovely experience, I will be back soon <3.

Everything was actually perfect! The only thing I could note is that upon arriving in my room, I didn't understand how to lock/unlock my room (probably because I was tired from travelling). But then someone else staying in the room explained it to me and it was very clear. Some instructions could be helpful, but it's also possible to figure it out by yourself.

I loved the atmosphere at La Moraga de Poniente, it was really clean and accommodating. The beds were surprisingly equipped and private. We figured we had an AC mid week 😅 And there are 2 terraces, one of which I totally forgot to look for until another guest pointed out. Lovely hostel with really friendly staff that was always available for answering any questions. Highly recommend! Because of the hostel's location I also appreciated travelling outside of city centres and exploring the neighbourhood.

It is quite a noisy street and the isolation can't do much for light sleepers, so definitely recommend you het your earplugs with you. Other than that, would suggest changing the door knobs with more easier one's to minimise inconveniences for both parties.

Jonnhy is a ray of sunshine 🌝🌞 ! Good energy and so friendly and welcoming 😁😂 ! The localisation is a perfect place (next to the beach, 2 min to Mercadona and to the beach) also to the station bus.
