Excellent first hostel experience — I will definitely be back!
As a 52-year-old solo traveler from Canada, I was honestly hesitant at first. I wondered if hostels were mostly for younger travelers and whether I would fit in. I booked a private room for two nights… and ended up extending my stay multiple times! I even returned after visiting Nerja because I enjoyed it so much. I truly would have stayed longer if I could.
What made this place so special was the amazing sense of community and how easy it was to meet people. The entire experience felt welcoming, fun, and very well organized.
Highlights of my stay:
• Perfect location — walking distance to all the main landmarks, restaurants, bars, and nightlife in Málaga.
• Incredible community atmosphere with lots of opportunities to connect with other travelers.
• Free nightly workshops and activities, plus optional paid activities. I joined a lovely painting workshop with unlimited wine and had such a memorable time.
• Complimentary amenities including coffee, tea, water, and sangria.
• Beautifully decorated, spotless, and very comfortable spaces.
• Super friendly, caring, and helpful staff who made me feel at home from day one.
• Free luggage storage, even while I traveled away for two days.
• Convenient on-site laundry facilities (€4 wash / €4 dry).
• Free access to their sister hostel with rooftop pool !
