Location is worth price vs quality. It is right next to the downtown and close to train station and metro.
For the price - this was worth it. I did just stay for 2 days. The location is great, and the rooms are really small but it was worth it for the price. The reason for 4 stars is that they only provide 1 bath towel and no hand soap; the door slamming can get a bit trying during the day but at night it was quiet.

Great place to stay. Find behind the Ibis. Good value, well connected and good price. No room service but that wasn’t critical.

Rooms are very clean and modern. Air conditioning works brilliantly, perfect for a budget place to stay for a few nights if you’re out and about. Would recommend going on the 1st floor as ground floor rooms just look out onto the alleyways so people can see in.

Good for a night or two!
It was a good short stay - the room was actually bigger than what I expected. The only downside is the outside of the area has a ton of trash everywhere - and you definitely can hear the students outside from your room - luckily they stopped being loud around midnight - but not sure how it would be like on the weekends. Otherwise, everything else was fine. Very clean room and the bed is comfy! Also very close to the center still - so a plus on that part!

Nice hostel in the center of Malaga
Great location in central Malaga! Friendly staff and they will help you if you got questions. Not everyone was talking English in the reception. I could change room towards the yard, because it was very load outside and the noise from the traffic was heavy in the morning. The only complaint is that the cleaning of the florors could be done better.

Excellent location for city centre and public transport. Room service not fantastic. Had to ask for clean towels when room hadn't been cleaned. Typical student accommodation. There was very little room around the bed so one person needs to be very agile to get in and out of bed.

Location is quite mixed depressing area.
Hard to find it.
Some sort of similar to Spanish Harlem.
Staff were all cool.
The first checked room was gas leaking smell , air conditioner or room fan was broken so kept coming out the gas leaking smell from some where, and bad rotten water smell from bathroom and moved to another room but that room was also dirty and seemed no one cleaned up, turns of Miskito and dirty prints
on the wall, shower bath room corner area were discussed also neiborhood noisy bother.
Building painting colors were bright so would clean but when you looked at closer it wasn’t
I don’t think it s reasonable price.
But the room setting was quite clever.
