Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The studio apartment was just perfect for what we needed, a double bed, a sofa bed, a kitchenette and the cutest little balcony. We felt safe as two women travelling and valued having the hostel and 24 hour reception next door. The view was cute, the night time was quiet, there was plenty of space. Excellent location, easy to access all of the public transport. Would 100% stay again!

Clean, quiet, comfortable. Great location. Close to Malaga Centro. There is a sewage smell in the bathroom with both sink and shower draining slow. Management should look into it. The check-in is different as you take an elevator to the 4th floor of the Hostel, then take the elevator down to street level and go next door where you take a different elevator to your 4th floor hotel room. Again, a great location.

Spot on

My third stay and honestly don't think you can do better for the price. Location is brilliant - 2 mins walk to the centre, staff are friendly, helpful and available 24hrs. The rooms are spotlessly clean, have great aircon and a good shower.
