We caught the bus from town, make sure to ask the bus driver where to stop. The hostel was relatively clean and staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the courtyard and dinner option. The room was too hot and there was only a very small window and fan which was not enough for the number of people in the... More

I spent a considerable amount of time at the hostel without having any issues. Hostel has a large kitchen, communal area and is right next to the beach. It also has a large courtyard with plenty of outdoor seats and table. Just perfect for sitting out and soaking up the sun. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food cooked by the... More

We stayed at this hostel for 2 nights and it was a pure nightmare. We had the basement room in which all the walls were moistly. my friend who has asthma really suffered from the air in the room. The worst thing was the air-perfumes they had put everywhere and which smelled like cinamon in order to reveal the humid... More

I met some great people here, and did enjoy my time in Malaga. Apart from that.... well. A hefty amount of Euros was taken from my locker, which was locked at all times. The only other copy of the key was kept by the proprietor... make of that what you will. I knew there had been a bedbug problem, and... More

I arrived at the Melting Pot and was greeted by a warm staff but they informed us that our beds weren't ready. The staff began drinking like they were on vacation and preparing what was a cheap and delicious dinner. Hours later we could finally head to our rooms and the place seemed dingy but the closeness to the water... More

I have stayed at Melting Pot--Malaga on several occasions in the past 2 years. It seemed a friendly and very fun place; definitely geared toward student travelers in their 20s. My 19 year old sister joined me at the hostel for the last day of my stay and she was going to stay on for a few days after I... More
