The staff and host are really nice people, The staff lady was really kind person she speaks many languages too, she helped me on my request to provide a separate area with silence so that I can attend my important call, also the towel and blanket and cleanliness was really good , I liked their strong wifi too

In my Dorm , people were playing videos on youtube on loudspeakers , talking on calls on loudspeakers when others are sleeping , someone interrupted my sleep thinking i was snoring but it was not me it was someone else , I did not have proper sleep due to these reasons , people visiting hostels should know how to be respectful with people. They can make 4 dorms room too, Rooms were not very spacious,

Female dorm so less snoring. Bathroom was outside the room but dedicated to my dorm and right next to it. It was an inside room so there was no noise from the street.

No counter space or place to lay anything on, which is often typical of hostels. They should at least provide soap and shampoo in the showers. Bunk beds are metal so occasionally they would squeak but not badly. I didn’t see much of a common area where people could hang out and socialize - just a few chairs at reception. If you need to do office work, try TOC, it is very spacious and lovely.

A clean and friendly hostel. A big plus was that they provide you with a spacious locker and a key to it for no special fee; also a towel is included. You are also free to leave and return at night (they give you a key to the frond door), and the check out at night is no problem. Another huge plus is location - it is only 15 minutes by foot from the bus station/RENFE. So you can travel to neighbouring cities from there on a bus. Also, because I was staying during the Semana Santa, I got to experience the processions every evening near my hostel.

The location is ok, not too far walking to the bus station. not far from downtown. facilities looks new and clean. bed was comfortable and had curtains.

the shower room doesn’t provide privacy and not enough hooks and bench to put clothes and toiletries. The fridge was a bit confusing. shelves were labeled with rooms, but some shelves always full and some shelves always empty. the shelf for my room was full, I put on the empty shelf, someone moved my food to the bottom shelf, which had no label. I left my food at the bottom shelf, the second morning when I wanted to have it for breakfast, they were gone, a yogurt, some blueberries and some tortilla. Someone told me the bottom shelf was for free food, but I did not see any label saying that. And why would someone moved my food to the bottom shelf when I put them on the empty middle shelf? hope little things like this can be better organized.

Because of the high ceilings in the room it didn't feel small...they need to do something about the squeeking beds...and updating the rooms to card entry instead of 🗝️ key....to the management, I suggest you depict something to represent each dorm as the name implies...eg.Paris room should have art of the Eiffel tower....London of the Bridge etc. Host Maria is very wonderful and helpful..the place is always clean and smells fresh... The location is close to everything.. I will definitely stay there again...

Warm, friendly and helpful staff, from the receptionist to the cleaning ladies. Safe environment. Comfortable mattresses. Female dorms. Option to leave luggage before and after check in. There is a small shop next door and supermarkets nearby.

Not a dislike, just would be nice if there were a larger, more comfortable social space to hang out in. Unfortunately, the hostel is small so this isn't possible. There is however, a few sofas, bar type stools and tables and a dining table where you can sit.

The beds had privacy curtains which was great. The rooms were clean, as were the bathrooms. The reception lady was exceptionally kind and helped us to store our bags at a weird time (we needed to store the bags at 5am and retrieve the bags at 11pm). We appreciated her efforts especially since she didn’t speak English and we didn’t speak much Spanish. It was reasonable for the price.

Location could have been slightly better - there were some sketchy people outside the hostel late at night. One of the dodgy guys tried to follow us into the hostel but he got chased out by one of the guests. The reception hours are also quite short, and they only usually offer luggage storage during reception hours. Outside of these times you have to ask them if they will kindly hold on to the luggage. The dorm room is also kind of cramped, and the door doesn’t automatically lock.

Everything, the staff was very friendly, the beds are of good quality, the kitchen is well equipped, the bathrooms are separated for men and women and very nice looking. We checked out in the morning and went to the airport very late at night. We were able to store our luggage in the room and when we came back in the middle of the day from our trip to Nerja, they let us use the bathroom and cook dinner.

The rooms were VERY cold. I know that sometimes the cold room during summer is hard to come by, but this was kind of extreme. Even if we turned off the air conditioning the temperature somehow still fell to 16 degrees celsius. And one more thing was only that the beach was about 25 minute walk from the hostel, but it is located right next to the main street so you were able to go for a late night walk and feel completely safe even if you had to walk for some time.

Nice little hostel where it is very easy to chat to new people as there is a big communal kitchen that you have to place through to get to the rooms. As such, it's a great place if you're looking to socialise. There is a fridge to store food and facilities to cook your own food. The room was clean and had comfortable beds with a curtain to add a bit of privacy. The communal bathrooms were clean and there were enough that you weren't waiting long for showers. The location is pretty good though it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the main area of Malaga. However, it is a good location if you are doing excursions as the pick-up points tend to be closer to the hostel. All in all it was really good value for money.

Nothing I can think of.
