Clean, good location, friendly staff, comfortable bed.
Any downsides? The rooms are tiny - but perfect for somewhere to sleep - and this isn't for you if you want your own bathroom.

This hostel is a 10 minute walk from the main train station but in the opposite direction of the old town so it's further away from the center.
The walls are super thin between rooms and you can hear everything your neighbour does: from coughing/sneezing to phone calls.
The rest of the hostel is kept very clean and the staff are super nice and accommodating. Although the lights in the women bathroom weren't working while I was there, the rest of the amenities were nice.

I really enjoyed my stay at Wostel, Málaga. The rooms and communal areas were clean, staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything was as advertised.
This hostel is brand new and there is still some construction work ongoing (this was announced in advance of my stay). However, this was not disruptive.
I also liked the coffee machine in the communal living area which is free at all times of day.
This hostel is located about 20-30 minutes away from the centre of Málaga on foot. However, it is close to the train station and it is easy to get a bus into the centre.
I would recommend this hostel and I would stay here again.

I love the pod idea! However, these pods were not soundproof whatsoever. Be sure to bring noise cancelling headphones. I could hear every conversation and buzz of phones and alarms.

The whole place was very very clean!
Pods/ rooms were well designed and therefore felt spacious, bathrooms and kitchen were all well equipped. Perfect for a cheaper stay but still able to have private space.

The air conditioning didn't work. On the second night, the minimum temperature was configured to 24C - way too high in the pod-like rooms with no other ventilation- so there was no way to cool down.

Beds: Rather firm, not the most comfortable, but sheets are soft with multiple pillows.
Shower: Shared, clean, okay pressure with hairdryer
Towels: Decent size, thin, nowhere to hang
WiFi: Reliable
Heating/Cooling: Horrible situation. You're given thermostats in your room that you can't control. They do nothing. Multiple people complained about it being cold, so they turned the heat on. They people complained about the heat, and they wouldn't cool it down.
Noise: Quiet
Outlets: Next to the bed
Staff: Thought they were responsive, offered to refund for some issues, but it was a lie and a front, and they had no intent to refund nor help.
This hotel/hostel was unpleasant. Upon bringing up one or two concerns, I thought they were being responsive to help, but they were not. I booked a room for two, but only I checked in, and they complained when someone else joined me late in the night. The room was freezing upon entering, and I asked why I couldn't control the temperature. They said it had to be done from the central source. I told them to NOT turn on the heating if I couldn't then turn it off because I needed it warmer than 17 degrees celsius, but I did not want the heat to go on and then me not be able to control that. The staff did not understand english well and even after repeating this 3 times, they turned the heat on. I then said it was too hot and the staff told me that their manager told me to ask for a refund for the problems. But it was a lie. Don't recommend here.
