Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 2nd September 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: Its a bit out of town centre, but the bus to there is really good and you can eat at some good places nearby until pretty late in the evening. Being out of town centre means its quiet enough for a good sleep. Also, breakfast is normally included in the price, as are towels. Great place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 23rd December 2007 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: Overall, no complaints. Breakfast was very little.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 26th August 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Breakfast included, Expensive

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 30th August 2008 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: no special charm or fun, room ok, just the necessary cleanliness in bath. But direct at motorway, very easy to go to the airport, and the staff present 24h/d is nice and helpfull.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 26th August 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: very old staff, very old bathrooms, It isn´t in the center of the city.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 16th August 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Great for late check in and access to the motorway

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 20th August 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: be easy

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 5th June 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Jacinto Benavente is a safe, clean place to get your head down at night. it is about 15-20 minute bus ride away from the centre of malaga. The rooms are very basic, but that is reflected in the price. I would advise you to get a spanish phrasebook as malaga is not like many other spanish resorts,they all speak spanish!! If you are looking for cheap n cheerfull and you dont mind the short bus ride into town every day, i would reccomend Jacinto Benavente to anyone.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 2nd June 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: The people at the reception were very friendly!!! Detailed Info's have been given to us. Thank you!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 8th May 2008 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: I wanted a place near the Motorways, with easy access to Malaga City, and to be near the Airport. There is also free parking on the street. and free wi-fi. A lot of friendly students live here during term. People on reception were fantastic. Would stay here again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 4th May 2008 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: The place was ok, a bit noise with old doors and not very well comunicated specially at night, no buses at night. It was clean and good staff.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th May 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Res.Univ. Jacinto Benavente is fairly far from the main attractions in Malaga, but the bus system is good so getting to and from isn't much of a problem. The breakfast is extremly bread heavy. In fact, all they served was bread, cookies, and muffins. The staff spoke varying amounts of English, but everyone was nice and very helpful. The room and bathrooms I used were all very clean. I would stay here again for sure.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 2nd May 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: This hostel was a great place to sleep - but not a great location. We had to catch a bus and ride about 15 minutes in and out of town, but we knew that ahead of time. Breakfast in the morning was good - and the staff was great. Very clean, too!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 3rd April 2008 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: Hi!! I don´t write very good in english, but I can´t went to Res. Univ. Jacinto Benavemte, then I cancel the reservation. Thank´s But the people when I call is very friendly.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 20th March 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Basically a college dorm, so kept pretty clean. 24 hour staff and strong wooden doors with bolt locks to each room, so security was not an issue.Staff was mostly helpful and free maps of the city are provided but if you only speak English well, some of the staff members basically can't speak English. Location is far from airport if you travel by bus (over 1 hour travel- so I recommend taxi to and from airport if you have a lot of luggage) but it's only about 10-15 minutes from the old city center by bus (1 euro) and in a seemingly safe area. If you are visiting during Semana Santa, note there are bus diversions for the processions, so you may have to take taxis or walk farther to the bus. 4 bathrooms in our hallway so the bathrooms with extremely small showers can be avoided. Water temperature a little tough to regulate and shower heads not great. Towels provided for free if needed. Not really a place to meet people but there were no policies on having alcohol on the premises. You could fill up on breakfast but it was mostly bread. Protein options were milk, colakan, and lard spreads. Jam and butter also provided. Overall, not a bad place at a good price.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 22nd March 2008 Couple 18-24 2/5 Comments: good hostel if you have a car, but too quiet. there isn't any room to meet some other people but the staff is nice!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 16th March 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: we arrived by car and later went to the city center by bus. if you dont plan to stay out late at night the distance is fine. breakfast included, all you can eat

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 22nd January 2008 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: Good price/quality Maybe something more for breakfast.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 18th November 2007 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: everything would be good only if they had been recevied my reservation. Because i don't know but when i came friday night so late in the evening they didn't find my name on the reservation list! Without that room are good and breakfast too.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 4th September 2007 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: It is way north of the city. Although it may look like its in Malaga, you have to take a bus to the end of the line to get to the hostel. Not really worth it

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 18th August 2007 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: The worsest hostel of ever

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 19th August 2007 Male 18-24 1/5 Comments: staff impreparato, e la pulizia lascia molto a desiderare.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 8th August 2007 Male 18-24 2/5 Comments: non molto pulito, lontanissimo dal centro, poco collegato, ma personale molto disponibile e tranquillo

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 29th July 2007 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: This place is quite a long way out of town which means you have to catch a bus or a taxi to get anywhere. This is OK if you are aware of this but based on the description on the website we expected it to be closer to things, especially the beach. Similar to one of the other reviews, we also experienced being unable to get in to the building since the reception was unattended. It was about 20 mins before someone came back to the desk. This was when we first arrived - not a great start!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 26th July 2007 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: I stayed in my own room at Jacinto... and actually ended up having 2 beds. The room itself was tiny, but I wasn't in Malaga to stay in the room. It was perfect for my needs and quite private. Though it is not located right in the city, the bus situation is relatively easy and dependable. I would stay there again. Thumbs up.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Hungary 1st July 2007 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: The hostel is very clean, secure, nice people! Definitely worth the price!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 7th August 2005 - - 2/5 Comments: clean. reasonably ok

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 21st February 2007 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: If there is noone at reception, then we cannot get back in the building ourselves. This happened once after breakfast and is a bit inconvienient.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 6th February 2007 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: The staff were most helpful. Little english spoken. It was quite cold but Malaga has had a very bad winter. Overall I enjoed my stay and would stay there again.
