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.

Great hospitality and vibe it's a relaxed place with a nice little rooftop terrace, and a big kitchen. You can use all facilities, a shared fridge and freezer. The room is well air conditioned. The owner was friendly, and helpful, to leave my bags before check-in, asked how I slept, as I'm quite tall for the beds, and the volunteers, mostly argentinian people were friendly and chill. Location is outside of center, but that's ok because it's next to the beach.

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!
