Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 26th August 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 2/5 Comments: This was not a hostel, more of a hotel. The breakfast was poor, the 'kitchen' non-existant. No atmosphere whatsoever. Stay here if you're not looking to meet anyone. I won't stay here again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 26th August 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: not actually in Malaga. For super-touristy-beach-ville packed full of english toursists its a good location, but malaga 1/2hr away. the hostel (or converted dodgy hotel) was awful. the bathroom gave me nightmares and i sank so low in the top bunk that i was scared i would fall thru. wouldnt suggest staying there. the common room is in a damp smelling basement and the internet always drops out. AWFUL!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 19th August 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: It was hard to find when I arrived in the town on the train late at night. It's just hard to find the street signs sometimes but once I found it the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are pretty average and very very hot. The location is actually pretty good once you know where you're going. Also, it was nice and quiet at night for sleeping.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 21st August 2008 Mixed Group 41+ 3/5 Comments: Very happy to find cheap accommodation during Malaga Ferria week. This was a hostel and not a five star hotel, but everything worked perfectly for me, great location, 24hr reception, hot water, toilets, sink in room, fan on wall (needed), breakfast included though I was usually coming in and going to bed as it started =) so never tried it 10/10 definitely stay there again

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 18th August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Cetsit a Torremolinos donc bus obligatoire pour aller a Malaga.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 16th August 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: Je deconseille fortement cet hostal! Mis a part le staff qui est assez gentil, c est un hotel a eviter! Tres sale, toilettes bouchees, portes de douche cassees, pas d eau chaude, bruyant, notamment a cause des murs extra fins! Ce fut un soulagement de quitter cet hostal!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Slovakia 5th August 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Clean, TV in the room, breakfest- bread (butter, jam), muffins, coffie, tea. Microwave. Good place to stay, when you can visit Torremolinos. It is 10 min. from sea.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 10th August 2008 Male 25-30 1/5 Comments: He estado en muchos hostales, pero nunca imagine que pudiese existir un sitio tan horrible como el Hostal Castilla. Limpieza mal. Trato de los empleados peor. Los cables sueltos por las paredes de las habitaciones. El techo de las habitaciones desconchado. Un calor inhumano. Los armarios astillados. Los enchufes pelados, a riesgo de poder quedarte electrocutado. El peor hostal en que jamás haya estado

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 27th July 2008 Couple 31-40 2/5 Comments: everything was dirty, and broken

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 14th July 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: First of all, why Torremolinos??? Second of all, this hostel is probably the worst I´ve been to. Most of the facilities they say they have, they actually don´t! The common room is at the basement, neon light, tv but doesn´t work, one computer with internet but about to collapse, no air-con, etc... Oh yeah, and the breakfast is a joke!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 1st July 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Windows in my room didn't really close all the way so it was kinda loud at night. Internet was pretty shaky. Over all, a decent place to stay. Nice and close to the train station in Torremolinas.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Dominican Republic 14th July 2008 Male 41+ 2/5 Comments: I would never stay here or recommend it. 2 days they did not clean my room. The hostal is not well maintained. Horrible

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 10th July 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: The food could be better. Maybe a selection of jams? Marmite even?

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 22nd March 2008 Couple 25-30 2/5 Comments: Rooms, as it turns out, are also rented by the hour, which seems sketchy. Quaint town (Torremolinos) but better to just find a place in Malaga - lots of budget options apparently not on the internet, cause we didn't find any online but found plenty affordable and available during Semana Santa!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 15th June 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Kinda far from Malaga and the city life there, so it's hard if you are trying to meet up with people. Other than that, nice place to stay... simple, has the necessities, but not much else...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 14th June 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: This hostal was very clean and comfortable. The showers were cold, that might have been because the hot water ran out or something.It is very far from Malaga...However, if you need to go to the airport it will work out for you. There is not a whole lot to do in the town that it's in, and it's a long bus ride away from the capital so don't expect to party it up here. Half the staff was absolutely great, the other half was completely annoying. Decent breakfast.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 6th June 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This place is great. It´s maybe like 15-20 minutes away from the beach. And they have a fridge and microwave. The staff were all very kind, and very helpful. There isn´t a commons area, so you won´t meet a lot of people, but I would definately recommend this place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 21st May 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: The staff was really polite and helpful--I appreciated their efforts!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Greece 4th May 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: The personnel in the hostel was,sincerely,very gentle and eager to serve,however the hostel had many disadvantages such as its cleanlines and the maintainance of its equipment in the room. Overrall, I would say that it is worth it´s price.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 13th April 2008 - - 1/5 Comments: Didn't end up staying their, was abused by the owner when i tried to cancel. I think you should avoid this hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 1st April 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Average, good value for money. Don't get discouraged by first looks...the old guy that works there is not that nice, hes just ok, but the other two guys that work there are really friendly.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 30th March 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Breakfast was good, plain but filling, friendly staff, good location to a market and to the beach, as well as the mountains behind the city. Free internet is also great. Generally pretty good, good value for money, plus a bit I think. Been traveling for 8 months, in general a average hostel, but not so great for meeting an extremelylarge amount of people, but still good. I had a good stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 14th March 2008 Male 18-24 1/5 Comments: Worst hostel i have ever stayed in...manager is insane seriously.. bad location about 20mins from the beach... one of the receptonist gave our key to someone else..lucky i was there to see it.. overall it sucked

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 19th March 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 1/5 Comments: Very dirty, and no way like the Information in the Website.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 13th March 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: They don't check to whom they give the keys, once you've got the room and have left the keys if you go out for a while. The two night-lights in the room had no bulb! The light in the room didn't work fine. Sometimes the warm water did not arrive at the 3rd floor. The breakfast is really poor and there's only one computer, albeit internet is for free. The personnel is really friendly. The price that you pay is what you get.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 2nd March 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: the hostel owner is INSANE and started a fist fight with his employee right in front of us!! The employee, however, who he was fighting with was very helpful and friendly. The owner... not so much.
