Everything was very clean, the bed was very soft and comfortable, I got two nice pillows, the walls to close your bed-space is awesome, there is light in your space that doesn’t really affect the other people in your room, the common space is nice and the breakfast is very delicious!

I had to last-minute book something as my original plans fell through, and this hostel was just so much above expectations. This is the first time I have stayed in a hostel instead of a hotel, but I wasn’t disappointed. I had my own little pod, which was perfectly fine to just sleep and leave my things at. I could only get a top bunk (booking super late) which is a little more difficult compared to a lower one, but still it was nice and comfortable. The cleaning staff were constantly around, everything was always clean and stocked. There’s an abundance of programs organized by the hostel, so you can be sure to meet some people and have some fun while you’re there. I had some issues with the ventilation and temperature in my room but the receptionist lady immediately helped out and resolved the problem! Thank you coeo for making my stay comfortable, fun and great!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Amazing staff!!!!! :) The hostel gives lots of opportunities for solo travels to enjoy the time in Malaga, meet new people, and have fun. The pods are small, but enough, they look exactly as in the pictures. Good WiFi, a great location. Soap, shower gel, and shampoo were available, which is quite unusual for hostels, so another plus. You can also leave your luggage there for €3 per day. I will definitely choose this place again when I am in Malaga.

    I stayed here for the 2nd time on my trip - and the staff went beyond expectations to help me! As a solo traveller, I was made to feel safe - when some things had gone wrong (nothing to do with the hotel!). It’s definitely the best hostel in Malaga - and those views are just beautiful. Thankyou so much to the staff - so won’t forget what you did for me!
