The property is nice but a lot of ppl were coming in late and drunk or high ,if you want a social pick I’d go with another

I really liked my stay in The Lights. It was neither my best nor my worst hostel experience, but it is definitely on the site of the better hostels. It has a nice coworking space and a very nice hostel to socialize. It is all very chill tho. I loved the dinner and free sangria on the rooftop, even though on the rooftop it is not too easy to socialize (plus it closes at 10pm). They offer a lot of city tours and pub crawls, but i didnt attend one.

Ein super tolles Hostel! Alles ist sehr sauber, die Küche hat alles, was das Herz begehrt. Es gibt jeden Tag tolle Aktivitäten: Morgens Free Walking Tours, abends Free Sangria auf der tollen Dachterasse und extrem günstige Drinks, bei Happy Hour sogar Halber Preis. Jeden Abend leckeres Abendessen für nur 5€. Das Personal ist super nett und toll. Und es gibt immer gratis Tee und Kaffe.

Bellissimo ostello forse non è tra i più moderni della città ma il rooftop è la sangria gratis alle 7.30 sono il vero punto di forza ti permettono di conoscere tantissime persone con le quali ho passato delle serate davvero piacevoli in ostello adoro l’organizzazione familiare che c’è e la colazione per 5 euro è un affarone

Perfect place for a stay in Malaga , right next to the markets. Quiet at night. Great family vibe, dinners, roof bar and social. Rooms are good, everything clean, lockers large, staff aplenty, food and drink great value. Top bunks are not easy to get into. Great!! Thanks for the welcome and help! X

Everything that i would've wanted from a hostel in this price range and more. Everything was always clean, the people are nice and the rooftop was an awesome place to chill and relax. Also, free coffee! 24/7! The reception is also 24/7, which is awesome.

I’d definitely recommend this hostel! It’s pretty social, they have free walking tours and organized dinner. Plenty of other activities. The rooms were clean, had curtains and lockers. The rooftop is a bit small but you can still hang out with people.

Very professionally run and fun hostel. Pretty sure they own the whole building. Reception is on L4 with a rooftop bar and seating area. Rooms are on the other floors with a lift, and bathrooms on every level, including women's only. They organise activities every day and evening, and have a great happy hour. Staff are so friendly and speak fluent English, as well as Spanish of course. Hostel is always being cleaned. Nice big kitchen for cooking. 100% would return.

Amazing location. Right next to the market, close to city centrum and central station. Room were a bit small and dark, but beds were comfortable. Decent size lockers, did not have a problem storing my backpack. Stayed on 2nd floor, men’s bathroom and showers were on 1st or 3rd floor but that was not a problem for me. They were clean, water was hot. Reception and meeting room is on 4th floor. The hostel is a bit smaller with fewer facilities, but quite social. Breakfast selection was great for ...

La situación es inmejorable, aunque necesita una reforma, o, al menos, algo de mimo. Las cortinas de las literas dan auténtica pena

Great basic hostel for the price. Safe, clean, pretty quiet. Our room had great airflow from the balcony doors and it was very comfortable in the daytime and at night. Though we didn't use them, they had a couple common spaces as well as breakfast and dinner available for an extra small cost. Bath towels included with the price!! Keep in mind that it is about a 20-25 min walk to the beach, even though it looks much closer on the map
