I only stayed here for one night. However I enjoyed the cleanliness of the facilities, the on-suite bathroom, and my respectful roommates. Most of all I loved the kind and helpful staff! I got up early to catch a flight and desperately needed coffee. I could not figure out how to make it in the kitchen, and the man working at reception offered to make me a coffee in the coffee shop attached to the hostel-which was not open at the time. I apologised for the inconvenience and asked to pay for the coffee, but he did not accept. He as well as the woman working the day helped me figure out where to find the train for the airport, as well as showing me a timetable of when it leaves from the station.

The hostel was maintained clean every day. I also like that under beds there are small lockers where you are able to put your things safely. Staff was helpful all the time and I felt very welcomed to stay in this property.

Hostal Vidamia-The pearl of Malaga!!! The hostal is hard to beat in more ways than one. The central location and yet it is quiet! It starts with the charm with which the owner or her representative welcomes the guest. You immediately feel the passion and joy of the host. The extremely lovingly furnished room no. 206) couldn't be more romantic and is absolutely super clean. Infinitely romantic and meticulously clean!!! The small bathroom makes it even more loving, even more romantic! No hotel, no matter how many stars it has, can hold a candle here!!! If I were here for a night of love, I would simply push the one bed to the left and tie the two middle bed supports tightly together with my pants belt. You may not find a more romantic love nest for the rest of your life!!!

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!
