Good quality dorm
Though it was a little run down, the dorms were clean and safe, with clean communal bathrooms. There were also lounge and tv communal areas and the staff were friendly.

In need of full makeover
Location good. Hostel is 'Dilapidated and dungeon-like'. Everything broken, ceiling hanging off and buckets placed to catch water dripping from above.... Unloved and not decorated for years. Could be a fantastic facility with money invested. Breakfast very limited in dark, depressing room so we went out to local eateries instead. Thankfully no issues with security as this was a worry. Cheap option if you know what to expect.

Convenient but extremely nosy
I was first given a room which was poorly decorated and very round down. I asked for another room and luckly there was another one available. I stayed just for one night in a well decorated and comfortable single room. The location is fantastic, right in the centre of Malaga, in the old town. However, the noise from the street and restaurants was unbearable, it went on till 1 in the morning.

Basic acco in a great location for the bars
For a budget over-night stay in a hostel, this suits the purpose. It is centrally located in the pedestrian district of Malaga on a street a few minutes away from the bars and night-life whilst away from the throbbing centre. It was noisy however all night-long, as though the bars are a short distance away, the bins are removed and the streets are washed overnight... In fact, the receptionist who showed me to the room did recommend that I keep the door blinds closed to keep out the noise. It's not ideal, but then again, it would be the same with any non-air con hotel in this part of the city. The shared toilets were clean, there was a water cooler to fill up the water bottle with cold drinking water; however the fridge was rather scary as the lack of shelves meant lodgers' food was piled on top of the other.

Basic room for a fair price
No extras included here but that wasn't an issue for me. Be sure to look out for the number of the premises as the frontage doesn't give much away. Location is perfect for exploring the historic centre of Malaga. Free wifi and some vending machines in the foyer. Breakfast is fine for grabbing a roll and some coffee but nothing more. Again, the price reflects this.

Quite possibly the worst hotel experience ever
DO NOT DRIVE TO THIS HOTEL. I spent hours trying to find a way in to the maze of streets most going one way. Later realized you couldn't get near the hotel until after 10pm or so bcuz the blocked the roads. Finally parked in a garage 5 or more blocks away. When I arrived, I was treated very rudely by the manager. The room was average at best and the bathrooms were not very clean. The breakfast was good, but that was about it. Stay at the IBIS down the street for a little more you get much better conditions and a place to park

Résidence universitaire avec chambres d'étudiant, idéal pour passer deux nuit pour profiter pleinement du centre ville ( en plein centre!). Salles de bains communes propres, pas de climatisation mais ventilateurs suffisants! Nous recommandons!

Halpa ja keskeisellä paikalla
Tämä hostelli on hinta-laatusuhteeltaan hyvä. Hostelli tarjoaa halvan ja erittäin keskeisellä paikalla sijaitsevan yöpaikan, lähellä mm.ostoskatua ja katedraalia. Ei sovi henkilöille, jotka eivät voi nukkua pienessä melussa (äänet kadulta kuuluvat hyvin huoneeseen). Hostellissa on jaettu kylpyhuone, jonka siisteys on ok. Suosittelen hostellia yksin tai kavereiden kanssa matkustaville, joille hostellin keskeinen sijainti ja halpa hinta ovat tärkeämpiä kuin hieno huone ja oma kylpyhuone.

Alloggio in centro a Malaga
L'alloggio è in una posizione ottima, ottimo anche il costo per notte. Deludente la pulizia e il comfort della camera, la colazione inclusa prevedeva solamente caffè o the come bevande e panini da imburrare o da mangiare con marmellata, il personale è stato gentile e cordiale. Consiglio vivamente di dotarsi di tappi per orecchie per riuscire a dormire.

Loistava sijainti,kohtalainen palvelu
Hotellin sijainti on loistava-aivan vanhan kaupungin keskustassa.Henkilökunta osaa asiansa kohtuullisesti.Huoneet ovat huonossa kunnossa-ei ilmastointia.Aamupala on hirveä.Mutta hostelli on hintaansa nähden hyvä valinta jos haluaa majoittua aivan kaikkien nähtävyyksien lähellä.

Good location in the city centre
I got amazing experience in this hotel because it was SEMANA SANTA period when I visited Malaga. I watched awesome parade in the first floor and it was fantastic. The hotel was in the center of the city and festival. Although the outside was noisy over mid night it was also memorable experience. Staffs are very kind and informative.

一泊寝るだけ
鉄道駅・バスターミナルから徒歩20分程で繁華街の中にあるので、夜遅目に着いて、朝早目に出発する為に使うには良いです。設備・サービスは全く期待いない方が良いです。ユースホステルと思って泊まると間違いないです。

A night at Santa Paula
The hotel should work on both the service from the personal, and the rooms were poor, with just a bed, a table and a stonefloor without any carpet. No AC, that when it went down to 8 degrees in the night it was frezzing. The prize of 25 euro is too much, it should rather be 15 euros if you look at the rooms and service.

Perfekte Citylage; schöne große Zimmer
War nur eine Nacht da. Für Kurzaufenthalte perfekt. Man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen. Kneipen und Barviertel zuhauf in der Nähe, Sehenswürdigkeiten und Shopping ebenfalls. Nur Parken im Parkhaus ist teuer.
