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.

Dining

Breakfast is available from 09:00 to 12:00. The property has a snack bar and coffee shop on site, plus a rooftop bar serving drinks and light snacks.
Breakfast service runs late, from 9 am to noon, so it is not suitable for early starters. The rooftop bar offers a selection of wines, champagne, and snacks with cathedral views. A shared kitchen is available for guests to prepare their own meals, equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and basic cookware. Numerous restaurants and cafes are within a 2-minute walk for a wider dining choice.

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.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, luggage storage, lockers, and a safety deposit box are included. An airport shuttle (35€) and car hire can be arranged.
WiFi is free throughout. Lockers are provided free of charge; luggage storage is available at reception (note that reception hours are limited, typically 8:00-16:00, but storage can be arranged). A shared kitchen with kettle, microwave, and refrigerator is available. Daily housekeeping is offered for an extra fee. The property has a lift but it may be restricted after staff leave. Meeting/banquet facilities can be organised. Pets are not allowed. Payment is accepted by Visa, Maestro, and MasterCard.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the luggage storage at reception for early arrivals or late departures, leaving you free to explore the city centre.

  • 02

    If you are sensitive to noise, request a room away from the street and the rooftop bar, as sound insulation is limited.

  • 03

    Reserve the airport shuttle (35€) at least one day before arrival by messaging the property.

  • 04

    Note that breakfast is served from 09:00 to 12:00; if you have an early tour, plan to eat elsewhere.
