| Comments: I would definately recommend this hostel. It was 15min on the bus (1euro) from the airport and 10 min on the bus to the city centre which was all very easy. 300m from the beach and some summer bars. The area is not buzzing but u can find stuff or go to city centre. Cheap. Staff nice. And you can come and go as you please. |

| Comments: This is a great hostel to stay at because it is literally right by the beach BUT it is a little out of the city center for that reason!! Easy to get to the city tho, just a quick bus trip. Since it is outside the city it isn´t hopping with fun but it was clean, the owners were lovely so I recommend it!!! |

| Comments: 3 minute walk to a decent beach with exercise equipment beachside. Not sure if it's the location or the dorm room opening directly to an outside patio but we got eaten alive by mosquitos at night! Has kitchen and internet. Bathrooms didn't seem to be cleaned everyday but overall place was clean. |

| Comments: Para entrar en la habitacion con dos camas teníamos que pasar por una habitacón con literas para 8 personas. La habitación tenía humedades de manera que se estaba cayendo la pintura de la pared y olia a cerrado. Y para ir al centro tienes que coger autobuses ya que esta bastante alejado y no se puede ir caminando |

| Comments: ok, this is a very simple hostel. if you are ok with this, you can come here. it is kinda far from the city centre and also from nice clubs /bars (-30 min walking or taking buses), but instead it is 1min walking to the beach, so it is just up to what you want. It wasn't very clean, but it wasn't really dirty either. A plus is definitely the room upstairs for the girls. It has two huge balconies. Very nice! |

| Comments: There was nobody among the staff who could speak or understand English. It made it impossible to get help with transport for instance. Additionally it was extremely difficult to find using the instructions they gave us because of a road being repaired. |

| Comments: The people who run it don't speak english, however there's usually someone about who can translate. Good cheap hostel, however i think i may have got bed bug bites whilst staying there. It's a little warm too. But worth it if you only have a short stay. |

| Comments: The hostel was quiet and a little off the beaten track which is a warmly welcomed break from the norm. The beach is literally five minutes, if that, from the front door. Also, the hostel feels like a house, in a good way, so it´s comfortable and without pretense. |

| Comments: Very dirty hostel. The bathrooms had ants and mold. The common room is right above the rooms so if you're trying to sleep there is no possible way. Good location near a beach but not the best one. I would probably never go here again. |

| Comments: i thought that this hostel was really excellent! it was cleaned everyday, the staff were nice and it was really chilled out and you could easily relax in it which was really good too. and of course, the beach (although not as good as i expected) was just down thge road. |

| Comments: I stayed for two nights with my family and it was suitable for us. We liked very much that the beach was only few minutes walk. If I go back to Malaga, surely I choose this hostel, because cheap and not so bad:) |

| Comments: Freindly, helpful staff close to the station, bars and beach. No hidden extras, nice veranda where you can eat and drink your own food if you're on a budget. I'll stay again if I'm in malaga. |

| Comments: Great Place. Nice and Quiet.
If I was to nitpick I'd suggest the owner spends more time there so you don't get locked out.
I would highly recommend this place. |

| Comments: I would definitely stay here again. This was my first time every staying in a hostel, but I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. It was laid back, social, and felt like a home rather than a hostal. My only suggestions to the staff might be to add trash cans in the bedrooms and spruce up the patio off the kitchen. It might be a great additional selling point if the hostal had beach umbrellas for rent, since the ones on the beaches fill up fast. |

| Comments: Average hostel. Beds, showers and not much else. The hostel is a bit tricky to find (we never located the mercado de Huelin that was referenced in the directions, despite asking 15 different people from Malaga) so be sure to map it before you go. Also the hostel IS close to the beach but it is not the main beach of Malaga and it is about a 25 minute walk to the central area and beaches of the city. |
