Staff was very unhelpful when we were struggling to locate the hotel. We are not from the area and apple google maps has us in circles but when we called for help the staff hung up on us. the shower leaked water everywhere and ended up burning me bc the water got too hot to quickly.

Great location but noisy
The hostel is in a great location and it clean and tidy, however it was incredibly hard to make contact with the hostel to confirm check in. The room was also incredibly loud with the bars outside and as a result we got very little sleep.

A good value, well presented and clean. Rooms are a little small, but light. Air conditioning worked well. A good central location, lots to see and plenty of places to eat including the cafe in the hotel.

Nice boutique hostel near everything. The service and the staff were friendly. The only downside is there are no air conditioning in the room and it gets very hot. The fan is not sufficient and if you open the door to have air from outside, you will hear a lot of noise from the bar nearby all night.

Nice clean room in the center of everything. 15-20 minute walk to the beach and main bus/train station. Dozens of restaurants and bars nearby. Air conditioning worked well in our room (read some mixed reviews before coming). I would stay here again!

Noisy and hot room, bad value for money.
Very noisy and without air conditioning. We could not sleep the entire night. Moisture bathroom with poor ventilation. Not worth the 144€ we paid for the night. We don’t recommend this place and will not be back for sure.

Room was basic but clean. Main complaint was that the bed was rock hard. I should have heeded other’s warnings. My room was quiet but i also stayed on a Sunday night. Was too expensive for what I got. Shower leaked water all over floor as door didn’t have a proper seal. No soap provided for shower so used hand soap pump which wasn’t very sudsy. A/C barely worked so was warmer than I would have liked. Kept it on all night but room would only cool to a point. No elevator so keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage and on 3rd floor.

Perfect for sightseeing in Malaga.
I loved it here. My room was perfect for me, and the food in the café downstairs is delicious. The location is very central and Malaga is awake all night long so don’t expect silence. I will definitely book here again.

I loved the friendly staff, and the great little cafe was perfect for breakfast or lunch. Location is good for walking to restaurants, shopping and the sights. However it is noisy at night from loud talking, especially with patrons from the nightclub across the street outside smoking. You can't fix that, but if the windows fit more tightly the noise might be reduced. Sleep Sounds on my phone helped mask it.

Great Little Boutique hotel in the Heart of Malaga
Great little boutique hotel in the center of Malaga. They have special rate deal with a garage near by, but you cannot drive up to the hotel. It's located in very small pedestrian street. Caffe is the entrance and the check in. Hotel is located above the bakery/cafe. No elevator / lift, for those who used to luxury travel, it's not for you. Carry your own bags.

Unique because it is charming and in the center of Malaga. If you are looking for a quiet and not noisy place, then don't go there. People are walking and partying down the hotel.

Almost perfect .....
This is a lovely hostel. The accommodation and food is fabulous. The only thing that spoiled it was the noise from a nearby bar/night club which did not stop until 5 am - so we did not get a lot of sleep. I am not sure what can be done about that. Otherwise a lovely stay.

Great staff, clean and spacious room
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious and clean - top quality for a hostel. I would highly recommend staying here. The only negatives are the lack of elevator (but that's typical), and lack of 24h reception (which I think is due to the fact that it is also a cafe).

Great B&B - Central, warm & bright rooms
I absolutely loved my room. Clean, comfortable, an adorable little balcony. The room itself was excellent. Great Wi-Fi. The bathrooms seemed to be cleaned only once a day, so could have been cleaner. The tough thing about this B&B - it is right next door to a club that is open until 7 am 7 days a week. So - bring earplugs. People are on the street making noise all night, especially on the weekends. Also, the B&B is attached to a very lively cafe. A fantastic spot - however, again, quite lively/noisy. I would stay here again, despite the noise, as the room really was lovely and the staff were also very welcoming. Location is central and very convenient.

Hostel of dreams.
Great stay, definitely a hostel of dreams. Staff were very friendly. Stayed in a dpuble room with my partner. Lovely look to the room, could do with a lick of paint, but it's a hostel, who cares. Bed linen soft and cofy bed. Our room had a little balcony which was nice. Checked out the communal wash facilities on the way past and they are pretty awesome.

Amazing value at this boutique "hostel". So happy with our choice of stay. Room was everything we could ask for - simple, clean, great atmosphere. The staff along with the main floor cafe was super inviting. And we were a quick couple minute walk into the main areas. Definitely recommend this for my no frills travelers whk appreciate that cherry on top!

Nice place but incredibly noisy!
The place was nice and clean. No A/C, be prepared for it to be warm. I'm not sure what was going on but from 2:30am until almost 6am every night there were lots of people right outside making a LOT of noise.

Apparently the church steps just a few steps from the front door and the balconies of the rooms is the local hangout for at least 15 teens who were out there talking loud until 4:00 AM. The hallway had a slight sewage smell but the shared bathrooms were nice and clean. The room is a very small square, no mirror, no glasses, no sink, no drawers, no closet. Nice little balcony but hard to have window open because of the close proximity of people walking by and talking on the narrow walkway. You can’t stand to get dressed on the window side of the bed on second floor without being seen from street. Ok place if it wasn’t about $70.00 US felt more like $40 even for Malaga.

Great location, nice people, efficient check-in, clean room. plain but comfortable and nice to have a small table in the room. Not great mattress and v noisy street. Just about ok with windows closed and Aircon. Very convenient so probably fine if you are going to bed late anyway

We very enjoyed our 2 night stay there. As other have noted the rooms are spartan but totally functional. Breakfast was delighfut and the staff go above and beyond to make you comfortable. The street is a bit noisy at night with people chattering away but that is all part of the experience in our opinion. If you are a light sleeper invest in good qualify earplugs. We would certainly go back the next time we go to Malaga!
