    The property didn’t really communicate with us even when we were having issues with the check-in time. I had to call them multiple times before the flights to be sure someone would be there to let us in. The room was smelling a bit of closed/dust.

    Central location and good sized room with small kitchen and fridge. The shower was ok but a bit small.

    Bedbugs. Like... Come on... I don't think I need to say more because most of the time of stay was spent scratching my skin...

    It was in center of Malaga, near shops and cafes. The owner was pretty nice and welcoming.

    The room could have been advertised more accurately. We didnt know if there was wifi or not as it hadn't been advertised in the building. The front door lock was sometimes difficult to undo.

    Staff were very friendly, great location and great value for money. The room was basic with the amenities that you need available (en-suite). The location was perfect for us, with some great bars and shops close by.

    -The cold; We understand that most of the year it is warm and in the summer hot, but unfortunately we visited at probably the coldest time of the year and spent all the time in the room freezing and wearing all our clothes at once. The helpful lady gave as a blanket, but this helped only when sleeping, we would really have appreciated a small electric heater (since there is no ac with a potential heating mode) but unfortunately they could not get us one. -The noise; for someone sensitive to noise, this might not be a place to stay, since the walls are extremely thin. We could hear the activities in the room across from ours and also every guest checking in at the reception perfectly. -The balcony; Our booking confirmation said the room has a balcony. The room we were shown to did not.

    We actually really enjoyed the fun and colourful decoration in the room and in the accommodation all together:)

    The shower cabin was 5 centimetres higher than the floor, that is why the floor was always very wet

    The location may have been relatively close to the historic centre of Malaga, but the neighbourhood was insalubrious to say the least - I avoided going out after dark, even though it may have been perfectly safe to do so. The lack of a kettle in the room, as commonly experienced elsewhere, was a definite minus point.

    The room was clean and sizeable. It contained a sink but no other facilities - they were nearby down the corridor. There was a ceiling fan, vital when the temperature was around 30C. There wasn’t much noise at night, contrary to what I had been fearing. Overall it was better than many similar hostels I have stayed at over the years.

    The floors were dirty, the decorations were outdated. There were half used open body gel and shampoo.The windows had spiderwebs and there was a broken light in the bathroom, not to mention that there was no way to lock yourself in or lock your belongings in.

    The location and the bed wasn’t uncomfortable.

    The toilet and bathroom was dirty. I request clean towels because the one inside of the room was dirty. And I receive again dirty ones. There was no bin for trash. The reception open probably after 12 because I wanted to leave my bag there when check out and there was no one. And you could hear clearly everything that happen on the rooms next.

    I got a double bed instead of single I request, so It was nice.

    The walls are too thin, I could hear the people upstairs waking up every morning. Also the door to my room kept opening every time someone went out and there was no option to lock it so I had to put a chair to keep it closed during the night . Very old furniture.

    Approximately good location. Clean sheets and linen, good beds

    the decor was awful! miss-matched colours/patterns, everything looked very old, outdated - like 1970s! It was also very dark inside. My room had a window but out into a courtyard so had no natural daylight coming in Also it was very noisy in the evenings, the walls were like paper!

    pretty good location just outside of centre, more authentic/local area. Friendly staff :)

    However the walls are vey thin, take a few pairs of earplugs with you because it is very very noisy! There is also no security or reception available during the night. There were some guests who could not respect the fact that you have to be quiet after 22:00.

    It is clean, comfortable bed, private bathroom and private terras. The location is absolutely perfect it is in the city center of Malaga. I appreciate the fact that there was shampoo and bodyshower available. Wissal thank you very much for your lovely welcoming. I wish you all the best!

    The place has that smell, as you walk in. You know the one. The smell of a cheap backstreet motel. My room was okay, the bathroom was cramped and comical, and the cupboard space was minimal but sufficient.

    You've got a private room (if you want one). You've got a private bathroom (if you want one). You've got a bed. You've got the internet. You're only 15 or 20 minutes' walk from the centre and the cathedral and all the lovely stuff. You get what you pay for. This is cheap, so you get cheap. But it'll do.

    Dangerous run down scalded in the shower. Gross gross, gross. For the same price is the easy hotel which is basic but fine.

    Singularly the worst place I have ever spent a night. As a military man that is saying something. Do not go here.
