Reviews of Residencia Malaga Backpackers

06 April 2010

Liked: quite far away from the center. with buss it take about 15-20 min. 5-10 min walk to the beach which was nice and reason why i pick this hostel to stay. nice "living room" with every night partys what were quite loud.

05 April 2010

Liked: Nothing. While we were sleeping in the bedroom, others came and smoked inside the room at 3 am in the morning while everybody was sleeping. i was with my friend and they only gave us one locker for our bags, and they do not have the right blankets and we were really cold. I do not recommend this place for anyone.

30 March 2010 Borislav would recommend this property

Liked: Absolutely clean, close to the centrum and even more to the beach, secure and totally satisfying for the money.The Wi-fi connection was good and the internet fast enough. A free public parking with many spaces in less than 150 metres. Still, have in mind that the bathrooms and toilets are shared, but were clean and cosy. The bar in the hostel is open from mondey to saturday and the drinks are cheap but good. Possibility for meeting with young people. Last but not least, the staff was friendly and really helpful.

28 February 2010

Liked: Although difficult to locate (the directions are not correct, you must turn AT the petrol station, if you pass it you have gone too far), once inside the hostel has a nice common area, kitchen, and the rooms are average. I had a peaceful stay, although it was during the holidays, and the hostel is extremely close to a bus stop which is along the line to the airport. Not much around the hostel besides a supermarket, but it is within a decent walk to Malaga's center. The office needed exact change (small coins) for my booking.

12 February 2010

Liked: I didn't like the property. The bathrooms are in a horrible conditions. The rooms are clean but the conditions are not great. For the same price comparing with another backpackers hostel I would not recommend staying in this one.

Liked: The rooms are freezing, you need a lighter to turn the stove on and don´t even get me started on the condition of the showers! just avoid them all together

16 December 2009 Rainer would recommend this property

Liked: The chinese (?) guy in the reception is quite unfriendly, and NOT serviceminded at all! He should better be a bookkeeper!!! There was no heating in the room so it was rather cold and humid, and they didn´t provide any heatingsource.

05 December 2009

Liked: The kitchen area was the one redeeming quality of this hostal. The room was freezing and blankets were not provided. The heater was missing two of its four wheels, thus it did not stand up. The man at the front was unable to count and not very friendly. The hostal smelt of cigarettes and is located right next to a gas station. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

30 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The only real downside to this hostel was the location, especially with all of the construction going on in Malaga for the building of the new metro, getting downtown via bus took a very long time. Very nice and helpful staff, great place to meet people, and comfortable quarters.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

28 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I spent only one night there so I don't have too much experience, but I got there exactly that I previously expected. The hostel is of good atmosphere with full of fun people, the staff is helpful and friendly, the prices at the bar are absolutely friendly and the wifi is also free. Although the hostel is a little bit off from the city center, it is located along the most important bus lines which run directly to the city center or to the airport. Going to the beach is about ten minutes on foot that I can call a piece of cake. All in all, I can recommend this hostel for those looking for a low-cost yet safe and nice place to stay in Malaga.
