La Moraga de Poniente Malaga Hostel, hotel in Málaga

Málaga Hostel is located in Málaga’s Pedregalejo district, just 5 minutes’ walk from the beach.

I did like the fact that I felt comfortable. It was very clean, quiet, and organized. The location is not bad at all. To get to the center, you can take buses 3, 8, or 11. It does have a supermarket around the conner, and the beach is 5 minutes walking. The staff was great, especially Johnny! I do recommend the place 95%. The 5% because I did get lost at the arrival time and got late to the hostel since not enough details on how to get to the place was provided. 😎🥰

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Amazing staff!!!!! :) The hostel gives lots of opportunities for solo travels to enjoy the time in Malaga, meet new people, and have fun. The pods are small, but enough, they look exactly as in the pictures. Good WiFi, a great location. Soap, shower gel, and shampoo were available, which is quite unusual for hostels, so another plus. You can also leave your luggage there for €3 per day. I will definitely choose this place again when I am in Malaga.

    Well it's a budget hostel. Moderate your expectations accordingly and you won't be disappointed. Not easy to find, the door is not marked in any way, but the staff were friendly and it was surprisingly clean. It's literally the cheapest place in town so all told no complaints. Location is also a plus.

    I stayed here for the 2nd time on my trip - and the staff went beyond expectations to help me! As a solo traveller, I was made to feel safe - when some things had gone wrong (nothing to do with the hotel!). It’s definitely the best hostel in Malaga - and those views are just beautiful. Thankyou so much to the staff - so won’t forget what you did for me!
