As a solo traveller looking to explore the area for 48 hours this accommodation provided the ideal base. I booked a lower double pod. I did not plan to spend much time in the hotel so the compact room was fine.
What I liked:
- The bed was comfy and the lack of windows meant it was dark and I got a good nights sleep.
- The shared toilets, sinks and showers were always clean and available - I never had to queue despite the fact 8 rooms (upto 14 people) could have been sharing them.
- Very little noise from neighbouring rooms.
Where it could improve:
- The room needed minor maintenance. The walls were worn and where screws had been removed the touchup was in a different colour
- The aircon temperature was controlled centrally for all rooms. I found the room too hot in the day
- The room only had one physical plug socket and this was at the back of the bed. Whilst the room had 2x USB-A plugs all my devices use USB-C or plugs. The plug socket was unreliable for charging and items had larger items had to stay on the bed whilst charging. Extra sockets are definitely needed in the room.
- There was an odd smell in the room, despite the corridors smelling clean.
- Room lights had energy saving mode and automatically switched off whilst lounging on the bed. This was very annoying as I waited for devices to charge.
Overall the hostel worked for me the limited time I was visiting Malaga but I would not recommend it for couples or people wanting to relax in the room.
