23 October 2011 frances would recommend this property

Liked: stayed here for the last night of my holiday and thanks to the adorable staff I had good times right to the end. Many thanks to James, Pierre, Daniel and especially Emmanuel (calm efficiency personified) without whom I would not have made my flight! Muchas gracias amigos

07 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The bar and living room

Disliked: the staff weren't very helpful. You have to make your own bed and bring the sheets down in the morning. The sheets were old and a bit dirty.

30 September 2011

Liked: It's cheap and has a huge common area. The kitchen is well-equipped.

Disliked: The location isn't that much, there are hostels just as cheap closer to the city centre. Also, one of the staff members gave me the creeps

25 September 2011

Liked: Great place to meet new people and get new friends to enjoy the travel. They usually organize party in the evening, where many people enjoy the big sofas in the even bigger living room, besides a nice bar self-managed by the hostel staff.

Disliked: Really far from the city centre. Bathrooms in the last floor are worse, and 10 beds per room is a bit exaggerated, even if the price is very cheap

21 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I stayed in a female dorm and there was a really good atmosphere there. Everything was always very clean, bathrooms were cleaned very often a day.

Disliked: It is very far away from everything. The common rooms could be way nicer if the owner put some effort in it. They are not very cozy rooms and you don't want to stay there longer than necessary.

20 September 2011

Liked: It was cheap, and had the best stovetop I've seen at a hostel.

Disliked: it was super unorganized (the kitchen) and honestly just felt gross. I made myself coffee one day and when I tried to pour the milk it came out chunky.,..was very old. Showers always had sand/dirt in them. NO A/C Coffee was instant. easy fix. huge improvement.

16 September 2011 Zoltan would recommend this property

Liked: amazing staff, very friendly and super helpful!!! Emmanuel and James definitely went out of their way to help my friends and I feel welcome. I checked out one morning, thought to myself how great the place was and ended up checking back in and staying for a few more nights! I love this place!

Disliked: it was really hot at night, a proper working fan in the rooms would be a great addition. other than that I have no complaints.

22 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Close to the beach

Disliked: A long way from town and confusing finding the correct bus and bus stop into town.

11 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Sufficient for my needs, I.e. Cheap accommodation for a night in Malaga. Could have been worse, considering it is the cheapest thing I saw...people were nice. Kitchen is well stocked and a supermarket with good hours is right around the corner.

Disliked: the room was deathly hot. The property should absolutely provide fans in the rooms. I have no idea why they don't. It makes the rooms into little hot boxes of death. Relly random location, but access with bus.
