Malaga was the first stop during our Euro-trip during November. And this hostel literally is the best one we have stayed in during that trip. All u need to get to the beach is to cross the road - imagine the view from the window (the best one is from the room on the second floor, and if u can... More

The Melting Pot is one of the warmest hostels I have stayed at. The main man, Jorge, is a very welcoming fellow. He really makes you feel like one of his family, particualrly at dinner time when he cooks everyone dinner for 7 euros ( a massive feast, with lots of meat - awesome for someone who struggles to fill...

Big open air terrace where you can meet people from everywhere, or sunbathe, or have home cooked dinners for just 7 Euros and... More

This hostel is great! Nice staff, clean bathrooms, plenty of space to hang out, good drink offers, good food. The location is a bit far from the city centre but easily accessible by bus and walking. The hostel is 2 minutes from the beach so it's perfect. Could not say anything bad about this place. If I travel with friends... More

Spent the night a couple nights ago in the Melting Pot hostel in Malaga. While the hostel is right across the road from the beach, unlike the photos on hostelworld lead you to believe (a couple of chairs on the sand in the beach), it is not actually right on the beach, in fact due to the high fence, you...

It is not close to the city center but it is just across the street from the beautiful beach so it really worth it. There are quite cheap evening dinners evrry day which are very good.

The hostel is not clean (bathrooms included), beds are uncomfortable and the rooms are noisy during the night. It is located slightly outside of the city centre, and you always need to get a bus.
