I've never stayed in a hostel before, but compared to the others around the area, this looked far better. I was right it was good. The 4 staff I met were all very very helpful, and kept the place very clean. The common area is great for chatting, and meeting new people, or just a place to chill after a busy day. The kitchen facilities are excellent, if you want to do your own cooking, there was even tea and coffee if you needed it. The showers and toilets were again very clean. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm. Yes it can be a little daunting for the first time, but it was surprisingly quiet. Everyone was considerate towards the other guests, and didn't make any noise. Obviously there's snoring, and people getting up make little noise but if you're sleeping, you don't notice it. The bed was comfortable. Had a sheet and a duvet, and it was lovely and warm. There's a curtain on the bed and it feels private, even in a room with 7 others. There's also a light and a power point and a phone holder in each bed. There's also a big store drawer under the bed. Slept really well too. The room is secure. The main door is secure. The WiFi is excellent. Overall it was an excellent pick, and I'd definitely recommend this place.

I had a double room with private terrace. Even though the terrace looked out on the side street with traffic, it was great to sit on it and start / end your day. Room was big and clean. The kitchen big and clean and lovely terrace next to the kitchen and on the roof. Johnny, the assistant manager, was great to talk to and very helpful with suggestions. I rented the bike for a day for EUR 10. Good touring bike and good price.

The staff is great and the hostel is very comfortable and modern with kind of a boho-style. There are activities every night, so also if you travel alone you can connect quickly. The rooftop is great to have a drink or to work. I was two weeks in the Jungle hostel and it really felt like home - thanks for hosting me. :)

Great great location in the center of all bars and night life. A little bit noisy till late but we expected this and it was not a problem. Room was very clean, bed was great and even the pillow - it is rare to have such a comfortable pillow. Bathrooms and toilets were clean and available all the time. We were on the 3rd floor with the private rooms.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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.

    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!
