The hostel is definitely not recommendable. The room we had smelled wet and like mold. I don’t think it’s healthy to sleep in there. The ventilator does not work and the windows only go into the inner courtyard, so there is absolutely no air circulation. We also had cockroaches in our room. There was no possibility to store things, except a tiny shelf. Another problem was that room was badly soundproofed, and everything was hearable. At least the hostel was very close to the touristic center and Málaga is beautiful. But let me tell you, take a little bit more money into your hands and book a nicer place.
