Comments: The place is nice and the people are friendly. If you stay in a double room -> do not take the one on the 1st floor. It is very small.

Comments: Don't worry about the comments aboout the double shower room - yes it´s an odd layout but there is another lovely bathroom (with bath!) on the same floor. The room smelled clean, I dropped my contact lense case under the bed, had to search for it. Exceptionally clean under the bed. Excellent staff. Great atmosphere. Free internet, and breakfast. I would definitely go back. 5*

Comments: the door handles of the dorms should be oiled because they make so much noise. and the shower holders should be replaced. there should be a toilet seat in the bath room at the 3rd floor. and maybe the other bath room on the 3rd floor needs a door that is not see-through. on the other end i loved the hospitality of fabio and the french girl that just started. they were really making an effort to have me feel at home!

Comments: Great hostel, friendly helpful staff and comfy low key common area, good for meeting other travellers. Yummy paella, thanks Fabio! Great central location. Very clean. The double shower and double toilet room on the 3rd floor is a bit odd as has practically no privacy for showering tho. Enjoyed my stay, thank you.

Comments: Nice hostel in the scenic part of Malaga. The staff make the hostel great. Anna, Fabio and Sasha were great. Everything hostel staff should be. The cooked meals were also the closest thing one will get to home cooked food on the road. Oh, and the mojitos were fantastic as well.

Comments: Worse hostel ever!!! Room was so small thatt only bed fitted in. There was no place to put your clothes in, no cupboard. bed was awfully noisy, even breathing made it make loud noises! The view from window was demolished wall of other building. The bleach smell from bathroom was so strong that came even to the room and spending more than 2 minues in the bathroom made your eyes go red!!! Worse ever-you could hear EVERY word from the room next door!!! No privacy at all! the hostel is located near dangerous square where some people sell hash at night. NOT RECCOMENDED!!! THE WORST HOSTEL EVER!!! We moved after 2 nights to another hostal in Malaga. They returned the money.

Comments: Great `place - right in the centre, nice rooms, and the night I was there the staff made a paella and sangria (very yummy they were too!) for only 6 euros. Only complaint is that it was a bit noisy.

Comments: Is the bathroom on the 3rd floor (near Las Reinas room) supposed to be unisex? If not, you should label the door. My friends and I are women, so it was kind of hard to bath in a shower with glass doors when men were walking in and out to use the toilette.

Comments: Very nice and friendly hostel, located in the very inner city of Malaga. Dinky little bar in the hostel. One bathroom could not be locked from inside, but that\'s the only negative thing to mention. Thumbs up!

Comments: the directions to get there were a bit confusing...if your taking the bus from the airport, get off at the end of paseo del parque and follow the sign to Plaza del Merced, through the tunnel, past the run down old theatre (Victoria St is perpendicular) and cross Plaza del Merced. You may not be as confused as I was, but yeah. only had one mix up with accomodation, but most of the staff are great :)
