Hotel Details

Location

Set just 30 metres from Calle Larios, the property is in the absolute heart of Malaga's historic centre, steps from the Cathedral and Carmen Thyssen Museum.

The location is ideal for walkers: Malaga Cathedral is 2 minutes away, Carmen Thyssen Museum is 190 metres, and Malagueta Beach is 1 km. Numerous restaurants, bars, and shops are within a 2-minute walk. The property is well served by public transport, with a tram stop nearby making it easy to reach the beach and other areas without a car. However, the central location means street noise and activity from the rooftop bar can carry into rooms, particularly on weekends.

Accommodation

The hostel offers compact rooms with shared bathrooms, equipped with heating, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. Private lockers and towels are provided free of charge.

Rooms are small and basic, with bunk beds or double/twin beds. Some rooms have a balcony with city views. All rooms share bathroom facilities including showers and toilets; these are cleaned daily but may show wear. Soundproofing is minimal, so noise from adjacent rooms and the street is common. Air conditioning units are present but some may not function effectively; a few rooms have ceiling fans. Bedding is provided, and guests make their own beds. Storage space is limited to lockers; there is no wardrobe.

Wellness and Leisure

No spa or pool; leisure centres on the rooftop bar with cathedral views and a range of organised activities.

The rooftop bar provides a popular social space with views of the Cathedral, open to the public after 4 pm. Free activities include live music/performances, nightclub/DJ sets, and walking tours. Additional charge applies for bicycle rental, bike tours, pub crawls, and cultural tours. There is no dedicated relaxation room or gym.
