Great location, epic interior design, and friendly staff on site, but overall we felt a bit let down. We stayed in the attic room and quickly understood why earplugs were provided — a nearby place is very noisy at night, which wasn’t communicated beforehand, and we didn’t sleep well. The room also lacked basic practicality: no hooks for coats, and only one hook in a very wet bathroom for towels, which were not replaced and stayed damp. Minor issues, but the hot and cold shower taps were swapped, and the shower head holder felt awkward to use. The biggest concern was receiving a scam WhatsApp message asking for payment details. The hostel later confirmed a data breach but didn’t warn guests in advance. Our pre-arrival question was also never answered, so despite great staff on site, communication was poor. Stylish place with lots of potential, but better communication and a few practical fixes would improve the experience.

The clean room and the bar!

Breakfast was lovely

Clean place, Very friendly staff. Great location. Good coffee shop next door.

Amazing Staff, the environment was so friendly. Met a lot of cool people relaxing on the rooftop lounging area. Even though i was in an 8 person dorm it felt so incredibly private and i had not a single problem sleeping during my entire stay.

Close to plenty of restaurants and shopping. Accommodation was clean and quiet. Would stay there again

The staff were excellent, the food was great, and the room was clean and comfortable. Plus, great location.

wonderful weekend tripnto Malaga, extremely clean and felt safe will definitely stay again.

Great hostel in great location Good quality Nice bed If I can find something not good is only one toilet and shower in the room

La atencion perfecta. El cuarto original y lo mejor de todo es que esta muy bien ubicado

Fantastic!We stayed with two teenagers and loved it.Great restaurant & bar too

Air conditioning unit was broken so they replaced it with a portable air conditioning unit... Whilst the room was kept semi cool... It was more the constant noise that emitted from the unit impacting upon sleep. Pool area by the end of the afternoon is messy and could do with a more regular clean but I suppose that can be attributed to the guests at the time.

✨ Last-minute birthday trip? Not ideal timing—La Feria was in full swing in Málaga that weekend. But sometimes the best experiences come from the least expected plans. It was my first time staying in such facilities, and yes, it required a few adaptations. But what it offered in return was something rare: spontaneous joy, unexpected connections, and the kind of laughter that begins with a simple “hello” and a smile from a stranger who no longer feels like one. None of it would’ve been possible without the extraordinary team at COEO Herman Ruiz. Their kindness, flexibility, and warmth turned a logistical compromise into a memory I now treasure. I surprised myself by saying, “I’m coming back!” And I meant it. Soon. S•AMI•RA

Nice modern hostel with nice hot showers and very comfortable beds. Very convenient to have the cafe/bar attached to the premises. Only let down is if you want to store your luggage for a few hours after your stay there is a charge

Lovely hostel in the heart of the old town. Helpful staff, great room and communal areas and lovely pool. Brunch was great too.

This hostel is very clean and the staff are super helpful. I stayed in the single pod and loved having a bit of extra personal space.

Right in the centre so perfect location to get back from nightlife but it’s a bit of a walk to the beach (15-20mins) The pod room and shared bathroom was very clean considering the amount of people who share it . Room bed was very comfy and room stayed cool . the price for 4 nights was well worth it. £200 cheaper than a normal apartment . Cons - The pool looked dirty and not big enough for the amount of people . No mention of changing towels or bed sheets. No food or drink allowed in the rooms

Very friendly staff. A stylish and clean hostel. Would go back.

The hostel was amazing. I stayed in the lower pod and it didn't feel claustrophobic. The shared bathroom facilities were clean throughout a day. The shower gel smelled great. The roof terrace and the swimming pool are small but enough to enjoy the sunshine. The kitchen has a fridge, kettle and a microwave to prepare simple meals. The reception area is very nice with comfortable armchairs. The restaurant is connected with the hostel. I only had there matcha latte and it was excellent.

Lovely stay at this hostel, close to restaurants and the main sightseeing spots. The pods were quite noisy and the shower area wasn’t clean.
