Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from the train station. Around 20 minutes to the beach & literally minutes to the Old Town/Historic Centre. Only downside is it is very noisy, local traffic & crowds, however, when the windows & shutters are closed you don’t hear this. They offer breakfast for 5 euros & dinner each night for 5 euros, things like curry or fajitas. There’s a nice rooftop terrace where you can eat. Also you can use their kitchen to make your own meals/simple breakfast etc.

Clean, quiet, comfortable. Great location. Close to Malaga Centro. There is a sewage smell in the bathroom with both sink and shower draining slow. Management should look into it. The check-in is different as you take an elevator to the 4th floor of the Hostel, then take the elevator down to street level and go next door where you take a different elevator to your 4th floor hotel room. Again, a great location.

Spot on
My third stay and honestly don't think you can do better for the price. Location is brilliant - 2 mins walk to the centre, staff are friendly, helpful and available 24hrs.
The rooms are spotlessly clean, have great aircon and a good shower.
