Hablé con ellos para decir que no podía ir por temas personales, me han cobrado la estancia alegando que no aparecí, cuando les llamé para comentarles.

Incompetence with a big price tag. Booked for a late check-in, paid extra, emailed twice to confirm. Yet the night staff had no idea I was coming, and it looks like they had cancelled my booking. Took over an hour to organise and didn’t get to bed until 4am after a delayed flight.

Ostello posizionato a 10 minuti dal centro di Malaga ma in uno zona non molto sicura. Le camere da 6 ( almeno la mia) non hanno finestre, ho prenotato una camerata mista ma mi sono ritrovata a dormire solo con uomini adulti, non viaggiatori e dall’aspetto un po’ losco. Poi per carità, non ho avuto problemi ma non mi sono sentita tranquilla a dormire in quel contesto. Pulizia scarsa, nel bagno delle donne c’era un’odore un po’ strano. Mi spiace ma non mi sono trovata bene.

the location didn't feel safe, especially at night. There aren't a lot of young people.

The location doesn’t feel save, wouldn’t recommend for a solo traveller! Also the hostel isn’t social at all and had a weird vibe

In our dorm rooms, only one of the five air conditioning vents worked, making it uncomfortably hot for sleeping. Several lights were not fully installed, the shower didn't get hot enough and required constant pressing of a button for water, and the kitchen lacked facilities and was dirty. Additionally, there was no atmosphere or activities to engage in. We also had to ask for hand soap in our room as there wasn’t any originally.

There was a strange, musty smell in the room. The room was poorly ventilated and had no windows (other than a window on the ceiling).

Owner/management doesn't run a safe hostel, no rules for large groups of men blind drunk causing havoc at all hours, very imtimidating, scared to get up during the night to go to toilet, kitchen has only microwaves and an old portable hotplate, showers were only cleaned once in the 5 nights i was there ... so disappointing when your trip is spoilt cause the owner wouldnt step up and take contol of the situation

Non ci sono finestre nelle camerate nè nella zona cucina . è un capannone in una zona degradata . il proprietario è stato corretto ma la dipendente la domenica svogliata e scortese. i servizi igienici sono pochi in rapporto al numero delle persone in camerata ed ovvio la pulizia ne risente. mi associo ad altro commento uscire la sera impossibile visto il degrado della zona, una mattina c'erano 3 auto della polizia e relativi poliziotti, questo non dipende dall'ostello ma dalla zona .

Málaga Stop Hostel is a beast of a place—entire ground floor block size, dorms are narrow and tight, especially in the tiny "Lisboa" room (6 beds). Still, it’s clean, showers are decent, and surprisingly quiet. The kitchen’s always buzzing with backpackers. Fifteen minutes to the nearest train station, twenty to the bus. Fridge for the drinks, no rooftop. Backpacker vibe in the heart of Malaga, and it works.

The staff was very friendly. The location isn't bad, it's nice and quiet. Couldn't say the same for my room though; I had many roommates that snore very loudly. Luckily the staff didn't mind moving me to another room.The only major downside was the showers. They had drain fly larvae and a lot of drain flies. Also, there's a weird giant window near the top left corner of the bathroom that connects to the other genders bathroom. It's up high towards the ceiling, so you wouldn't be able see anyone.

Thank you so much! Great place, and they hold your luggage. Only request would be more blankets, as it was a little chilly at night for me. But with the weather improving soon, that will not be a problem. Cheers!

The hostel is located in an area that did not seem safe at night. The bathrooms are located in a common area and not ensuite. The hostel seemed like an apartment type of vibe not short term hostel.

Even though there weren’t many people at the hostel, and it didn’t seem like a place to socialize — just to sleep and maybe cook if needed, the staff were really sweet with us and everything was tidy and clean.

Die Zimmer waren sauber aber leider war die Küche nicht gut ausgestattet und der Kühlschrank defekt. Außerdem war es sehr hellhörig und die Atmosphäre nicht besonders gut. Die Lage war in Ordnung und man kann entspannt in die Stadt laufen.
