I had a great stay at Wostel Málaga! The place is modern, clean, and very well organized. The capsules are comfortable, private, and surprisingly spacious. Everything feels new and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location is excellent — close to everything in Málaga. Perfect for travelers looking for a stylish, affordable, and comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

At first sight the hostel was nothing special, good value for the money. But in the next second it becomes so much more. It’s all about people that work there. They make u feel like you’re there family, doesn’t matter if u are staying for a night or a week. The always singing Diego takes care of the good mood, then there’s Ana always with a smile on her face, Nico … and all the others. They’re always there for all the stupid questions or just a random talk. With their warmth and positive energy they bring the best out of the guests staying there and that’s why the atmosphere in hostel is so nice❤️ And I haven’t even yet metioned my favourite spot - a terrace with an amazing view. Could stay there for hours.

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.

I don't know why this place is being rated with only 8,2 when it deserves to be rated much higher. It has everything, and it's beautiful. The beds are extremely comfortable, I slept like a baby even though we had a roommate who snored so hard. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is enough space for everyone. You can get a locker for free, you get a towel for free, you get a hair dryer for free. We need to be grateful for the fact we don't need to pay anything extra because the price is already so cheap. The check-in process was smooth, just make sure to mention your arrival time to the staff. The location is distant from the city center, but it still does not matter because there would be a bus every time I stepped outside. Also, if you want to go to Nerja, which I recommend, the bus stops nearby the accommodation. Last but not least - explore the neighborhood, it is beautiful, safe and peaceful. Also, the beach is much more beautiful than the public beach in Malaga.

All hostels in Málaga

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!
