    Good
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Bed in Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Aeration of the rooms wasn't really good, the bathroom was a bit dirty (but let's face it, it was a dorm of 10 beds, can get messy pretty quickly), and didn't like that they had no curtains in the beds. All the rest was good :)

    That's a nice hostel, I chose it because I really need to have curtains when I travel and stay in dorms. Unfortunately, there wasn't curtains in the beds, but it was really comfy and clean. The host is very nice and accommodating. The food there is REALLY good! So even if you're not staying there, I highly recommend you go eat there, very clean, homemade and healthy stuff :)

    Breakfast was disappointing and less expensive paid on day than through booking.com. so never reserve breakfast on booking.com.

    Very quiet room in the centre of Malaga. Room was very comfortable. Booked for double bed but landed up with twin beds.

    It was extremely loud in the evening, even though we booked on purpose a hostel that is not directly in the city centre. The bathroom is very small. Towels were a bit dirty

    The location is very good, just a short walk from the centre. Bed was comfy and the service friendly

    For those with ears sensitive…the place is great located in old town normal to have some noise from the streets in the night. Fine for me .

    Very good location, few min walking from several tapas bars/ restaurants & some highlights like Picasso’s house , Alcazaba and 15 min walking to the beach!

    - the room looks worse than on the photos, - there is no kitchen - you have microwave and boiling pot in the room directly, - very small space between your head and upper bed when you are sleeping, - string doors in the toilet give 0 privacy.

    - great location, - very nice staff, - very clean, - downstairs you have a cool coffee place with delicious coffee, - nice idea with baskets to put your things

    Had multiple people try to unlock my room door while I was inside. Kind of off-putting and didn't make me feel super safe. Lots of noise at night in the hallway as well.

    Great location and cute cafe downstairs!

    Friendly helpful staff, felt very safe and room was really quiet. Only drawback was the bed (bottom of a bunk) felt a little bit rickety, and the external bathroom, although private, was a walk down the corridor past other rooms. We were only there for one night so didn’t mar our experience. Excellent location. Definitely buy the breakfast! Delicious :)

    The place for the showers is very very tiny, you don’t have anywhere to put your towel or clothes, almost claustrophobic

    It’s in the centre, with a very cute coffee bar, the place is cleand and the stuff is easygoing

    Everything was fine.

    The Picnic Dreams was overbooked that is why they sent us to the other hostel of them called Dulces Dreams Boutique Hostel. The area was really good. All of the sightseeing were so close to it.

    It is a hostel, so don’t expect luxury, it just all good.

    We had the private room with Terras. That room and especially the big Terras is amazing. Is like having your own studio in center of Malaga.

    Location: in old town with lovely squares, small streets with lots of places to eat. The hostel was very clean, light, modern. Good choice for breakfast and very nice cakes! Staff were very friendly. Cheap for Malaga.

    We really enjoyed our stay but as we were packing up we realised that the double bed we had slept on was broken and explained why we kept on rolling into the middle of it. Not a huge problem but something to fix. Would still highly recommend staying here!

    Best part for us was the cafe attached to the hotel! We hadn't realised that the hostal served it's own food or that it would be so delicious!! Genuinely recommend eating here whilst in Malaga even if you don't stay there. The staff are very kind and attentive. We had a room for 4 which served us well as it was well priced and excellent location to get into Málaga city centre. It was clean and well decorated, we definitely enjoyed our stay.
