Lovely place to stay. I was pleasantly surprised by the whole set up. When it says hostel you dont expect it to up to the standard this hostel was. The staff had excellent customer service skills and were very welcoming. The continental breakfast was delicious, certainly well worth the price for what you got. As a solo traveller I felt totally safe.

Bar selection was sufficiently

Love this place. Small but relaxing rooftop pool area is beautiful. The staff are very nice

Slept very well, Really enjoyed having the private room but also shared facilities really did make me feel comfortable and safe. Vibes were great in the common areas

Clean, nice sunny rooftop, good coffee, great location

Clean room, lovely staff, rooftop was great. Super social hostel & would love to stay again.

Great location, everything you need is nearby. Everything was reasonable clean and the cleaners came a couple of times a day. The pods are good, although you can hear other people coming and going or using the toilets, doors banging so I recommend ear plugs. The welcome drink was a nice touch and a great ice breaker for meeting other travellers. Sadly, I didn't get to use the pool due to being unlucky with the weather in March.

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
