Halpa ja keskeisellä paikalla

Tämä hostelli on hinta-laatusuhteeltaan hyvä. Hostelli tarjoaa halvan ja erittäin keskeisellä paikalla sijaitsevan yöpaikan, lähellä mm.ostoskatua ja katedraalia. Ei sovi henkilöille, jotka eivät voi nukkua pienessä melussa (äänet kadulta kuuluvat hyvin huoneeseen). Hostellissa on jaettu kylpyhuone, jonka siisteys on ok. Suosittelen hostellia yksin tai kavereiden kanssa matkustaville, joille hostellin keskeinen sijainti ja halpa hinta ovat tärkeämpiä kuin hieno huone ja oma kylpyhuone.

Alloggio in centro a Malaga

L'alloggio è in una posizione ottima, ottimo anche il costo per notte. Deludente la pulizia e il comfort della camera, la colazione inclusa prevedeva solamente caffè o the come bevande e panini da imburrare o da mangiare con marmellata, il personale è stato gentile e cordiale. Consiglio vivamente di dotarsi di tappi per orecchie per riuscire a dormire.

Loistava sijainti,kohtalainen palvelu

Hotellin sijainti on loistava-aivan vanhan kaupungin keskustassa.Henkilökunta osaa asiansa kohtuullisesti.Huoneet ovat huonossa kunnossa-ei ilmastointia.Aamupala on hirveä.Mutta hostelli on hintaansa nähden hyvä valinta jos haluaa majoittua aivan kaikkien nähtävyyksien lähellä.

Good location in the city centre

I got amazing experience in this hotel because it was SEMANA SANTA period when I visited Malaga. I watched awesome parade in the first floor and it was fantastic. The hotel was in the center of the city and festival. Although the outside was noisy over mid night it was also memorable experience. Staffs are very kind and informative.

In need of full makeover

Location good. Hostel is 'Dilapidated and dungeon-like'. Everything broken, ceiling hanging off and buckets placed to catch water dripping from above.... Unloved and not decorated for years. Could be a fantastic facility with money invested. Breakfast very limited in dark, depressing room so we went out to local eateries instead. Thankfully no issues with security as this was a worry. Cheap option if you know what to expect.

一泊寝るだけ

鉄道駅・バスターミナルから徒歩２０分程で繁華街の中にあるので、夜遅目に着いて、朝早目に出発する為に使うには良いです。設備・サービスは全く期待いない方が良いです。ユースホステルと思って泊まると間違いないです。

A night at Santa Paula

The hotel should work on both the service from the personal, and the rooms were poor, with just a bed, a table and a stonefloor without any carpet. No AC, that when it went down to 8 degrees in the night it was frezzing. The prize of 25 euro is too much, it should rather be 15 euros if you look at the rooms and service.

Perfekte Citylage; schöne große Zimmer

War nur eine Nacht da. Für Kurzaufenthalte perfekt. Man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen. Kneipen und Barviertel zuhauf in der Nähe, Sehenswürdigkeiten und Shopping ebenfalls. Nur Parken im Parkhaus ist teuer.

Der var lige morgenmaden, det var et meget spartansk måltid. Spisestuen kunne også godt have været indrettet mere hyggeligt. Men ellers var der en udmærket TV stue. Mvh. Hanne Falk. Dinamarca.

Convenient but extremely nosy

I was first given a room which was poorly decorated and very round down. I asked for another room and luckly there was another one available. I stayed just for one night in a well decorated and comfortable single room. The location is fantastic, right in the centre of Malaga, in the old town. However, the noise from the street and restaurants was unbearable, it went on till 1 in the morning.

Basic acco in a great location for the bars

For a budget over-night stay in a hostel, this suits the purpose. It is centrally located in the pedestrian district of Malaga on a street a few minutes away from the bars and night-life whilst away from the throbbing centre. It was noisy however all night-long, as though the bars are a short distance away, the bins are removed and the streets are washed overnight... In fact, the receptionist who showed me to the room did recommend that I keep the door blinds closed to keep out the noise. It's not ideal, but then again, it would be the same with any non-air con hotel in this part of the city. The shared toilets were clean, there was a water cooler to fill up the water bottle with cold drinking water; however the fridge was rather scary as the lack of shelves meant lodgers' food was piled on top of the other.

Bra boende för ngn enstaka natt

Mycket för pengarna! Vackert gammalt hus m bra läge i malaga, i centrum! Trevligt bemötande från såväl reception som frukostpersonal. Vi hade inte förstått att det ingick frukost i priset, kaffe och smörgås, helt ok. Jag har inget att klaga på undantaget att jag tyckte det var svårt sova pga att jag under natten hörde mycket ljud från gatan utanför samt andra gäster. Ta m öronproppar. Om inte är kinkig m ljus är det mycket prisvärt men enkelt. Passar yngre personer som vill spendera den mesta tiden i malaga stad och inte på rummet. Flygbussen går och stannar nära tillhands.

Hyvä sijainti, vaikea löytää

Hotelli oli hinta-laatusuhteeltaan ok. Ainoa heikkous oli hotelin löytäminen. Edes taksi ei tiennyt missä hotelli sijaitsi. Paikallinen herrasmies opasti väsyneet matkalaukunraahaajat oikeaan porttigongiin. Kartalla hotellin sijainti löytyi, muttei maastossa.Hotellin seinät olivat myös "paperista", joten ulkoa ja käytävästä äänet kaikuivat hyvin nukkuvan korviin. Mutta hinnasta senkin voi päätellä, ettei kyse ole superhienosta hotellista. Joten ok.
