    The bunk bed was very wobbly and it was like trying to sleep on top of a jelly. Also some infernal machine noise started up right outside the window at 4.30am and went on for a while

    Central location

    There are no locks for the shower rooms and toilets in the bathroom, and since the toilets are attached to the shared bathroom, I have to tell other people and lock the whole bathroom before taking a shower. That was kinda of inconvenient and a bit uncomfortable honestly, especially for females.

    The host is really friendly and hospitable. I arrived pretty late around 2 but he was waiting and really helpful. The price is very nice and the bedroom is clean.

    Was very basic but you get what you pay for and it was good value.

    The bed was comfy but 1 of the room mates bed was a bit squeeky and loud when he moved around. Overall good value for money

    The bathroom is weird. It's a shared place for everything - 4 male & female showers, 2 sinks and 2 toilets with just a sliding door, all at one small little area. Entrances is without any label or anything.

    After reading all the bad reviews it could be just better and I was lucky enough that it was better than that. I found the entrance straight away thanks to the older comments. The cleanliness of the room was okay. My roommates were all fine.

    No safety whatsoever, only the outside door locked but it stayed open during the day and there were only small lockers not big ones for bags. There was noise from the bar next door but not too much. Bathroom same for all genders and not very well maintained, plase put some hangers in the shower it won't kill you... The pricetag seemed outrageous, I've stayed in amazing hostels in europe for less.

    The location is all you pay for in this place, and also it was the cheapest option for malaga when I booked... staff was nice, room was big, a/c was working

    Entrance is weird and very hard to find. Seems shady. There are some weird people staying in the hostel, but it was still like a normal hostel with a dorm.

    Very central location. I understand that it might be strange to travelling women here, but it was really clean and a good stay for very little money for one night.

    I Like a location, but, it's very hard to find!!!, With google Maps!!!, It's between two building 's, an very narrow pathway, and no any sign anywhere!!! We try to find, a place over one hour!! Then i reserve two bed on booking.com, and when we arrive, they say, no you reserve only ONE BED, and owner doesn't speak any English!!!! I communicate with google translator!!!!

    It's, a next to cathedral, and Rosario park ❤️. And marina, is 100meter's on marina ❤️ very cheap, and great location!!!

    too noisy because of nearby bar also many people in the room so not the best comfort but this is something you should expect when in a hostel so it’s not really a negative point

    some of the people who used this hostel - maybe it would be good to have a written rules i some place what we do and what we do not in common dorm, for example, we do not speak by phone after 22, we do not watch sth or listen to the music loud without headphones, we do not eat in the bedroom etc. thank you for considering
