Liked: The commom area was really nice, always full of peolple, everynight a different party with cheap food and drinks, is far from the center but Malaga is very small so is no problem to walk around and is very close to the train and bus station, about 10 or 15 min walking... but that is no breakfast...

Liked: Great location very close to sea front.Nice breakfast and social area.

Disliked: very basic rooms. there was no aircond and the fan wasn't working!Also the toilets and showers are mixed and only one shower on our floor working however it was always available.I remember reading breakfast was included and it wasn't but perhaps I'm wrong.Also I was traveling with my child and their policy is no children but can't remember having read that on their site.However the guy was very nice and kept us there anyway.

Disliked: bed bugs! filthy beds, imposible to sleep as was getting eaten alive! need to exterminate the place1

06 September 2010

Liked: The kitchen facilities were great, there are grocery stores and convenient shops very close by. The hang out area and fast internet were great also.

Disliked: The closest beach is awful, crowded, murky water and poor quality sand. The toilet and shower facilities at this place are horrendous but functional. I would rather stay in Torrmolinos for the beach, or Nerja (which we did), or closer to downtown for shopping and clubs. The part of Malaga where the hostal is located is drab and depresing.

25 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The atmospehere and the staff were great:D

Disliked: Its a bit far from the center, but close to the beach.

16 August 2010

Liked: Near the beach, cheap, nice place to meet people

Disliked: The hostel has very dirty and small bathrooms, is very unsafe (three people in my bethroom were robbed), they charge you 2 euros for keeping the baggage in the departure day, staff is not so helpful, the kitchen is dirty and there is not enough glasses.

12 August 2010

Liked: Not much to be honest! I guess the big couches were comfy and the living room space was rather big, albeit dingy!

Disliked: It was quite grotty and just felt a bit dirty.... the kitchen and everything was big but didnt seem clean. The staff wernt uber friendly either and this free tee and coffee and breakfast thing was a joke! The location is awful too... fine, it was 10 mins from the beach but 40 from the centre at least! The directions on the site are not correct either... EVERYONE I spoke to had problems finding the hostel which is no fun when its so hot outside and you are lugging around heavy bags!:( Also, they decided to close the kitchen at 10 in the morn to clean it which is the time when everyone needs to use it... ridiculous!
