    The lift was only really there for the customers of the rooftop bar. One of the sockets next to my bed was broken and despite reporting it, nothing done. Staff disinterested, functional but brusque.

    The location was great, very central.

    There's nothing else but the beds. Not even chairs or a waiting area, nothing. Also, if you get the upper bed it's so uncomfortable to climb to, ladders have missing steps.

    Location is so good. Close to many attractions, food and transport. Personel is super helpful and kind.

    Very nice hostel, perfectly located in the beating heart of Malaga. The room was very clean, I booked a 4 beds female room, but ended up having the room for myself 😊, the room was very well furnished, blanket and towels available. The bathroom was clean and also had a hair dryer which is very useful. The greatest thing about this place is the terrace, with an amazing view of the cathedral which I could also see from my room.

    As I am a senior citizen I had asked for lower bunk if possible and found it extremely difficult to climb up as others had arrived before me, not asked for lower bunks but were given them.

    Really central location and especially great over the Christmas period with the illuminations. Nice rooftop bar. Pleasant staff. Lovely bakery next door.

    Things i didn't like we're the beds are not comfortable and the windows are not sound proof so being in the city centre there's always noise around. The bathroom for 4 sharing dorm has no system to close so better be prepared before coming.

    The location is right in the middle of the city so everything is just at a walking distance. The staff was also nice and helpful.

    lovely hostel with super friendly staff - right in the heart of old malaga.

    that we didn't get a key for the lift as we were staying on the first floor. The guests on the second floor had a lift key (we noticed) as the exit from the lift to the second floor is in the kitchen area. This meant that we had to climb to the second floor if we came from the supermarket to use the kitchen whilst others could freely avoid climbing the stairs. The showers were also a little grubby some days (but bareable) and were on a timer switch.

    I liked that the hostel was right in the heart of the historical city centre- near to all of the attractions. There is also a roof top terrace that you can use as a paying guest (The bar was closed when we stayed). and there are lovely views of the old city. I also liked the free wifi and that there was a small kitchen area with a kettle, coffee machine, microwave and toaster. This came in very handy when we were tired after visiting the nearby Arab baths and didn't want to go back out. It also saved us a few euros on eating out. The staff at reception were also super friendly and happy to help with everything.

    People outside yelling in the early hours Booked and paid 60 euros for what is described as a double room. A message came through later asking if I wished to upgrade in order to have a double bed instead of 2 bunk beds. 18 euros extra. The original booking is misleading.

    Location is 10 metres off the main square

    It was extremely loud on the street outside because of the central location. The kitchen is not really a kitchen, there is no stove, no sink and no plates, cuttlery etc. So don't count on cooking there, it only has a fridge really.

    The location was great, staff was friendly, easy procedures.

    Very noisy, like sleeping inside the parties. And the bathroom is not safe for girls, because it shared by men and women and the door can’t locked, it should be renovated and rearranged.

    Good location and price.
