Staff were all brilliant - super friendly and helpful even when I was being a pain with a super early check out. Offered great advice on how to navigate making my way to the airport and other suggestions along the way. The quality of the rooms / bathrooms etc are unmatched - one of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in by far, would 100% stay again and it’s in such a brilliant area - fully central Malaga and very close to beaches, shopping and nightlife, and public transport if you’re doing any day trips Also super social - really easy to meet people and they run a tonne of activities daily through the hostel but there’s also no pressure to join if you’re not feeling it

The best area of Malaga, clean and safe with great rooftop.

It is an expensive place when the price is without breakfast and with dormitories with 8 people. We arrived an hour before check in and met an unfriendly receptionist who immediately said we were too early and didn't tell us about the dinner that evening that we would have liked to have been informed about. It would be good to have more information about the current events in the welcome email we received a few days in advance.

It had a real family feel and would thoroughly recommend this hostel to my friends. I had such a wonderful time and the roof terrace was perfection. The staff really care and this makes the world of a difference. It was so friendly and I settled well within a few minutes of arriving. Everyone was so friendly that it took me only a few minutes to make friends as that's how the hostel is laid out - it's social but not too loud and hectic. The plug socket and light next to the bed is much appreciated. Good quality beds! One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Thanks so much.

When you walk in, it feels like a high class hotel. It’s a beautiful building inside and out. The showers are amazing. I’ve never seen rainforest showers in a hostel. Comfortable beds with curtains. AIR CONDITIONED ROOMS!!! What a treat.

The door in our room was super squeaky. I sleep with earplugs which blocked the noises from outside but this door kept me up from super early. As the room has a lovely air con, I was really cold the entire night because we get only a think sheet. I’d still go back though and work with reception on these.

Great hostel for soo travellers: easy to meet other people at the rooftop terrace or during any of the activities. - The hostel organises a dinner each night for 10 euros and has a bar 7pm-23pm with drinks for prices similar to any other bars in the area. It is a pity that the bar and terrace (the only public space in the hostel) close at 23pm, but also understandable because any noise can be heard in the bedrooms. - The beds are super comfortable, and each one has a curtain and night light, but be prepared for noise coming from outside the entire night. - The showers are great and bathrooms are kept relatively clean. - There is free coffee, fruits and cookies, and earplugs (which you will need..). - Location is great, in the middle of the old city centre: you can literally crawl to any cafe/bar, souvenir shop or restaurant. - Great vibes when I was there!!

- The only thing I was missing in this hostel is more space to chill/hang or space to withdraw from the crowds: you cannot sit up straight in the beds so if you want to read a book or do some work, you need to go to the terrace, but there is only few comfortable chairs there, plus there is always music and other people there. - Because the terrace space closes 23pm, you either need to go to bed or find a bar/club. Result: many people go partying each night. So, when you and your friends are feeling like "just hanging" for a bit at night instead of clubbing, there's not really space for that. - NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR DIGITAL NOMADS. - Lot's of noise at night - Expensive

The staff, the sanitary facilities, the location, the rooftop bar, activities organized every single day and especially the openness of people. I've stayed over from saturday till tuesday and it's been wonderful. I hurt my knee at the beachvolleybal, came back to the hostel after it was finished and Nacho provided me band aid. Its happy hour in the rooftop bar every day around 7pm and a pub crawl after that. I've met so many people at this place and it's been such a pleasure I'd really like to come back next year!

Can't say anything bad about this place actually, I'm a light sleeper so the first few nights were pretty tough but everyone takes it into account that you're sleeping in the same room and even though it's located in the center and I was sleeping in the room right in front of club Tennessee, I didn't have any noise disturbance.

The location is close to everything, it takes time to get to know your way around the city but it is close to the musuems, the port and Soho and to the train station. Free fruit, massive apples and oranges are provided daily along with Nepresso capules at reception also free of charge.

There can be street noise if you are a light sleeper if you are staying in the double rooms on the terrace, ear plugs are provided but you can bring you own which would be better, no fault of the hostel it is in the centro area to nightlife there.

Everything looks quite new, and it is situated in a very central area of Malaga. The staff is friendly, and every day there are some activities planned (walk tours, dinner, pub crawl). Rooms are neat, tidy.

The hostel is not soundproofed whatsoever, and the surrounding streets can be very loud (lots of restaurants and bars). I was on the first floor and could also hear people on the terrace. So, if you're looking for peace, this might not be the place. At the front desk, you can get earplugs, though. Also, showers run for a few seconds and then you have to push the button again & again. The locker for my bed was broken. But I had a good stay, overall.

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. :)

maybe the lockers are not optimal for easy access of your things - drawers would be more comfortable. Everything else was great. :)

The hostel staff was super nice and everything was really clean! Location was perfect, the beach was only a short walk away as well as bars, restaurants, clubs and everything you might need/want. The rooftop is amazing to meet people and there’s several different activities each day like a dinner every night, walking tours, volleyball on the beach, bar crawls and so on. Amazing hostel and I can’t recommend it enough especially as a solo traveller!
