Staff was very unhelpful when we were struggling to locate the hotel. We are not from the area and apple google maps has us in circles but when we called for help the staff hung up on us. the shower leaked water everywhere and ended up burning me bc the water got too hot to quickly.
Great location but noisy
The hostel is in a great location and it clean and tidy, however it was incredibly hard to make contact with the hostel to confirm check in. The room was also incredibly loud with the bars outside and as a result we got very little sleep.
A good value, well presented and clean. Rooms are a little small, but light. Air conditioning worked well. A good central location, lots to see and plenty of places to eat including the cafe in the hotel.
Friendly staff and bed linen was immaculate Room spotless Very comfortable double bed Loved the breakfast A lovely experience i would certainly stay again
Recommend!
Close to the center. The late afternoon/ evening staff was the most friendly and accommodating. Room has everything needed. Carrot cake must eat!
Nice boutique hostel near everything. The service and the staff were friendly. The only downside is there are no air conditioning in the room and it gets very hot. The fan is not sufficient and if you open the door to have air from outside, you will hear a lot of noise from the bar nearby all night.
Nice clean room in the center of everything. 15-20 minute walk to the beach and main bus/train station. Dozens of restaurants and bars nearby. Air conditioning worked well in our room (read some mixed reviews before coming). I would stay here again!
Noisy and hot room, bad value for money.
Very noisy and without air conditioning. We could not sleep the entire night. Moisture bathroom with poor ventilation. Not worth the 144€ we paid for the night. We don’t recommend this place and will not be back for sure.
Good place to stay. Location very convenience and enjoyable. Room very clean.
Room was basic but clean. Main complaint was that the bed was rock hard. I should have heeded other’s warnings. My room was quiet but i also stayed on a Sunday night. Was too expensive for what I got. Shower leaked water all over floor as door didn’t have a proper seal. No soap provided for shower so used hand soap pump which wasn’t very sudsy. A/C barely worked so was warmer than I would have liked. Kept it on all night but room would only cool to a point. No elevator so keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage and on 3rd floor.
Nice hotel with a great location, rooftop, and bakery.
Felt right in the middle of all the art and architecture and flamenco I wanted to see
He
Wonderful
Very impressed with the Brownie room, it was very spacious like a suite with a sofa/seating area and a lovely view from the balcony
Perfect for sightseeing in Malaga.
I loved it here. My room was perfect for me, and the food in the café downstairs is delicious. The location is very central and Malaga is awake all night long so don’t expect silence. I will definitely book here again.
I loved the friendly staff, and the great little cafe was perfect for breakfast or lunch. Location is good for walking to restaurants, shopping and the sights. However it is noisy at night from loud talking, especially with patrons from the nightclub across the street outside smoking. You can't fix that, but if the windows fit more tightly the noise might be reduced. Sleep Sounds on my phone helped mask it.
Comfortable and well located
Comfortable and well located. In a pedestrian area so difficult to reach by car. Nearest car parks are pricey. Good option for those not needing parking
Great location, very clean!
Very clean Very centric Nice staff Double mattress a bit uncomfortable
Excellent service
Great Little Boutique hotel in the Heart of Malaga
Great little boutique hotel in the center of Malaga. They have special rate deal with a garage near by, but you cannot drive up to the hotel. It's located in very small pedestrian street. Caffe is the entrance and the check in. Hotel is located above the bakery/cafe. No elevator / lift, for those who used to luxury travel, it's not for you. Carry your own bags.
Great location and good price
Great atmosphere, cozy modern hotel in exceptional central location. My room had a wonderful view, bed super comfortable and best breakfast place!
Unique because it is charming and in the center of Malaga. If you are looking for a quiet and not noisy place, then don't go there. People are walking and partying down the hotel.
Almost perfect .....
This is a lovely hostel. The accommodation and food is fabulous. The only thing that spoiled it was the noise from a nearby bar/night club which did not stop until 5 am - so we did not get a lot of sleep. I am not sure what can be done about that. Otherwise a lovely stay.
Lovely location, but very noicy from cafe and street and bad bed mattresses...
New year Ev
Felt welcome from the moment we arrived, staff could not do enough to male us welcome. Place was clean and tidy
Great staff, clean and spacious room
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious and clean - top quality for a hostel. I would highly recommend staying here. The only negatives are the lack of elevator (but that's typical), and lack of 24h reception (which I think is due to the fact that it is also a cafe).
Great B&B - Central, warm & bright rooms
I absolutely loved my room. Clean, comfortable, an adorable little balcony. The room itself was excellent. Great Wi-Fi. The bathrooms seemed to be cleaned only once a day, so could have been cleaner. The tough thing about this B&B - it is right next door to a club that is open until 7 am 7 days a week. So - bring earplugs. People are on the street making noise all night, especially on the weekends. Also, the B&B is attached to a very lively cafe. A fantastic spot - however, again, quite lively/noisy. I would stay here again, despite the noise, as the room really was lovely and the staff were also very welcoming. Location is central and very convenient.
Hostel of dreams.
Great stay, definitely a hostel of dreams. Staff were very friendly. Stayed in a dpuble room with my partner. Lovely look to the room, could do with a lick of paint, but it's a hostel, who cares. Bed linen soft and cofy bed. Our room had a little balcony which was nice. Checked out the communal wash facilities on the way past and they are pretty awesome.
Amazing value at this boutique "hostel". So happy with our choice of stay. Room was everything we could ask for - simple, clean, great atmosphere. The staff along with the main floor cafe was super inviting. And we were a quick couple minute walk into the main areas. Definitely recommend this for my no frills travelers whk appreciate that cherry on top!
It was nice to have a private bathroom within our room instead of shared facilities.
Location was amazing... property was clean and spacious rooms. The lounge across the courtyard was a little loud all night long into the early a.m. We checked out early am and didn't get our parking validated because staff was not there...parking was very expensive for two days at local garage
Nice place but incredibly noisy!
The place was nice and clean. No A/C, be prepared for it to be warm. I'm not sure what was going on but from 2:30am until almost 6am every night there were lots of people right outside making a LOT of noise.
Our room was very hot and uncomfortable. We couldnt open the windows only because there were people outside talking all night long.
Apparently the church steps just a few steps from the front door and the balconies of the rooms is the local hangout for at least 15 teens who were out there talking loud until 4:00 AM. The hallway had a slight sewage smell but the shared bathrooms were nice and clean. The room is a very small square, no mirror, no glasses, no sink, no drawers, no closet. Nice little balcony but hard to have window open because of the close proximity of people walking by and talking on the narrow walkway. You can’t stand to get dressed on the window side of the bed on second floor without being seen from street. Ok place if it wasn’t about $70.00 US felt more like $40 even for Malaga.
Great location
Great location, nice people, efficient check-in, clean room. plain but comfortable and nice to have a small table in the room. Not great mattress and v noisy street. Just about ok with windows closed and Aircon. Very convenient so probably fine if you are going to bed late anyway
We very enjoyed our 2 night stay there. As other have noted the rooms are spartan but totally functional. Breakfast was delighfut and the staff go above and beyond to make you comfortable. The street is a bit noisy at night with people chattering away but that is all part of the experience in our opinion. If you are a light sleeper invest in good qualify earplugs. We would certainly go back the next time we go to Malaga!
Seville
Centrally located in Seville, near to the main bus station, 5 minute walk. Staff was friendly, walk to cathedral and many other interesting spots in Seville. WiFi worked ok.
We loved the central situation of the property. The room was simple, clean and restful. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful and the café served not only the most delicious breakfasts but the best coffee to start the day. Would highly recommend to others.
A beautifully located boutique-style hostel right where you want to be in Malaga. Key sights are walkable, while mornings are easy, just head downstairs and have a breakfast of fruit, yogurt, toast with traditional spanish tomato and olive oil spread, they will also adapt dishes for vegans. As well deserts are available so tea time (with wine) also a treat. Rooms are simple, clean, and light-infused. About 10 minutes walk from the airport bus stop, too, which is handy for international travellers. Much recommended.
The breakfast amenities and coffee were very good. It is undoubtedly noisy , so you need to be prepared for the street noise.
If it’s a budget hotel you want this fits the bill, right in the heart of the city, numerous bars, cafes and restaurants around and about. Clean and good WIFI .
Cute and trendy hostel in fantastic location. Breakfast not included & bit pricy for solo traveller as there are only double rooms but everything else great, efficient & well presented.
Great location, quiet enough, fantastic breakfast, very friendly staff
Very helpful staff, quiet, well located, excellent breakfast for 5 Euro - not your typical stamped out experience.
Great location
the hostel was clean and centrally located. we enjoyed our stay but wished there was an elevator available for all the luggage we had - luckily the receptionist was kind to help us with the luggage:)
Central location and very pleasant staff...
From we arrived until we left we were treated as if we were in a five star hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend to anyone else. We are a couple in our late 50's and we found everything within walking distance from the hostal.
Fabulous chic hostal in ideal location
Gorgeous boutique hostel, lovely clean stylish rooms . We stayed 1 night in cupcake with private bathroom and 1 night a few days later in lemon pie with shared facilities both were great. The cafe downstairs has a vibrant atmosphere and makes fabulous fresh juice, I'd recommend the apple, pear, banana, lemon & ginger - amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful ordering a taxi for us, the hostel is in an excellent location for all the main sights & restaurants. The only negative was noise from the clubs, we left for the airport at 5.30 and people wee still socialising but to be fair it was 5/1 and big party time, we didn't mind as it added to the atmosphere but would be an issue if you stayed for a few days
We only stayed for 1 night but it was great! The location is perfect, since it's very near to everything and we can walk everywhere. The room and bathroom are clean. Even though it was a shared bathroom, it felt like our own, since we only shared it with 2 other rooms. The cafe also has great food which is always a plus :)
quaint in the centre old town
Quaint little place, beds a bit hard needs a comfy protector, but great spot and friendly staff.
Location and quirky
Great location inside the old town . Nice quirky rooms we had a shared bathroom this time was ok . Earplugs on bedside cabinet though was not what we needed to see .. club across the street open til 6 was in full noise as it emptied at 6 sort of spoiled it really
Lovely hostel with personality and great staff
Loved it. Great room and friendly staff.
Fabulous hotel in great area
The hotel is right in the heart of the Old City and yet was extremely quiet on evenings/night...I guess as it is right next to an enormous church. The room was simple but spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We'd definitley stay here again
Worth every penny
Only thing to complain about was it was a tad hot to sleep in at night (only has ceiling fans). Regardless I would recommend the place to anyone and everyone! It was fantastic. Room size was huge, a great value. Bathrooms very clean and new showers. Breakfast was reasonable price and tasty!
In the hard of the old town
Clean yet charming design of the rooms, a cosy little café downstairs offering breakfast, excellent location in the old town of Malaga. There is a late bar nearby, so keep this in mind if you are a light sleeper.
Great
Great
Well located and convenient
Hostel Dulces Dreams is located very conveniently in the center of Málaga. It is right opposite the famous Iglesia de los Santos Mártires. We got a very nice welcome when we checked in at the hostel. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The best part of the hostel was that we could walk everywhere. All the important places to visit were conveniently close. If you love the Spanish night life, this hostel is right in middle of it.
Cute, little boutique hotel
Excellent small hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Well located in a pedestrian area which made it a little difficult to reach by taxi or car. I would stay there again.
Malaga dulces dreams
Perfectly placed hotel. We had a very enjoyable stay.
This is Hostel so we shared a bathroom/showers, but there were only three rooms on the first floor, which are sharing two separate bathrooms/showers that are lockable. They call it Boutique Hostel as we are not sharing the room with anybody else. We decided to try it, traveling with our preschool child, the downside, which we didn't expect is that the rooms don't have AC, so even though they have ceiling fans, let's just say it was hot in the room being at the end of August. There is an excellent coffee shop downstairs which is part of the Hostel and they serve some good food as well. Service was great as the staff is very nice.
Hip and trendy but....
Hotel markets itself a hip and trendy, great cafe but room is very basic for the price. Spartan to say the least not even a glass in the room or hair dryer. People were very pleasant and friendly.
Great for clubs not great for sleep.
well it was the least sleep I have had in a very long time. I don't know if this is the case in every room. But ours didn't have AC and the ceiling fans were terrible. It was fine with the balcony doors wide open but there is a nightclub right near by called bubbles or something and it opened at around 12 and closed at 5am which made it impossible to leave the door open and it was a sauna with it closed. Then at 7:30am construction began right out front. It was horrible. Cute place and sweet staff but horrible sleep.
Great hostel
Lovely clean hostel in the centre of Malaga. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom were clean. Only negative - no air con in the rooms which made for an uncomfortable sleep in the summer.
Nice stay in the center of Malaga
Very nice stay in the center of malaga. Staff were available and nice too. Parking very close to the hotel
Nice hotel, great location
Very nice Hotel. The room was very nice and clean. Very nicely decorated. It is in the city centre so very good for young people who wants to stay out, beacuse Malaga night life has plenty to offer. But if you are there on the weekend you will not get much sleep if your room is looking on the street. Instead of sleaping go out and party :) Hotel has nice, very nice caffe at the reception, offers excellent caffe, and delicous cakes, and you can have breakfast there for 5 euro.
location pretty central breakfast and lunch bistro on the ground floor check in really uncomplicated – location near night club (could be a bit noisy at night) – bathroom door is kind of a wooden board (lets noise through)
Wunderschönen Unterkunft mit einer tollen Dachterasse im Zentrum von Málaga
Kanonläge
Mycket bra läge och trevlig personal.Tyvärr saknades ac som utlovat och sängarna gick nästan ner i backen så dåliga var dom
Buona colazione ma personale decisamente freddo, stanze piuttosto sporche, entrano a fare le pulizie e non possano nemmeno l'aspirapolvere; la notte c'è un baccano terribile per via di una discoteca sottostante.. non tornerò mai più.
Lindo departamento, bien ubicado. Muy atentas las chicas de recepción
Falta Ar condicionado!!!!
Localização ótima e uma boa lanchonete para tomar café. Mas um ponto insustentável seria a ausência de ar condicionado para aguentar o calor de Málaga. O quarto tem ventilador, mas não adianta nada tornando 3 dias de hospedagem insustentáveis.
Het hotel is gehorig , je krijgt een privé badkamer die je wel deelt met andere gasten , het is er ontzettend heet zonder airco . Het café gaat om 20 uur al dicht en pas om 09 uur weer open . De badkamer stonk . De matrassen waren niet comfortabel . Een veel te dure kamer vond ik
Bellissimo ostello situato vicinissimo al centro con un bar sotto veramente buono con personale gentilissimo. Ma purtroppo ci sono due grandi difetti: di fronte alla struttura c’è una discoteca/pub che dura fino alle 6 del mattino. Se si chiude la portafinestra il rumore non è così forte ma qui entra in gioco il secondo problema: non c’è l’aria condizionata. Purtroppo abbiamo dormito veramente male tra schiamazzi/caldo. Per tutto il resto ci siamo trovati bene
Clean and confortable room. We enjoyed our stay. It's really close to the main places in the city centre.
Very clean, nice people, very central, everything was max. 5 minute walk away. It was very hot when we were there, and there is no airconditioning in the rooms, so that was unfortunate. Because of its central location, it is very loud at night, due to clubs being in the same street and drunk people shouting. Overall, would recommend this hostel, maybe not in the peak of summer.
This hotel does not have an elevator. There is no simple cutlery set, mugs, refrigerator, or trash can, so it is not suitable for those who want to prepare meals at the nearby supermarket. Where are the shared bathrooms? I would add that the cleanliness of the rooms, the rooftop view, and the location are excellent.
Nous avons apprécié cet hébergement pour son emplacement ( près des boutiques, musées et plages) et les chambres propres et confortables. Le restaurant est super sympa! Points à améliorer: le wifi ne se rendait pas à la chambre, bruit extérieur la nuit à cause d’un bar à proximité donc l’ajout de cloisons aux fenêtres seraient intéressantes.
Esta buen ubicado y la habitación es amplia, no la recomiendo para verano porque smes demasiado calurosa y no tiene mas que un ventilador
Un sitio muy limpio ,todo cerca para ir andando ,habitación muy amplia ,
Fijne en simpele kamer, gedeelde badkamer was helemaal prima en super leuk en fijn dat er een café onder de hostel zit. Met goede menukaart en genoeg keuze ! Een minpunt is het lawaai van buiten, omdat er in de straat een club is, maar voor de rest is het aan te raden.
Only 2 problems - Its so noisy... you will not be able to have at good night sleep. Dolces should do more to make the terrasse a nice stay during daytime.
Muy acogedor, cómodo y muy bien ubicado
Charme in der Altstadt
Charmantes, kleines, Altstadthostel mit persönlichem Charme. Die Einrichtung ist einfach, aber sehr hübsch gestaltet. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist exzellent und die Lage auch super für eine Stadtbesichtigung Malagas.
Excellent petit-déjeuner, très bon service. La chambre donne sur une rue très passante et bruyante la nuit,
Centralt trivsamt alla sorters människor. Enkelt modernt.
Schönes Zimmer. Tolle Lage, mitten in der Altstadt. Alles was man brauch ist fußläufig entfern
Hyggeligt hostel
Vildt hyggeligt hostel. Vi boede på dobbeltværelse med eget badeværelse, og det føltes som at bo på et hotel, og ikke hostel. Der var god stemning på hotellet, men meget lydt, så man kunne høre folk på trappen på gangen og ude fra gaden, især om aften/natten. Men alt i alt et dejligt hostel
Hotel boutique muy acogedor, limpio, con aire acondicionado, fácil acceso. Muy recomendable
La habitación y la limpieza han sido muy buenas, el ruido exterior, a pesar de disponer de tapones en la habitación, era molesto.
Too noisy during the night
I stayed 1 night from Friday to Saturday and was happy to leave after that. Dulces Dreams’ windows are facing the entrance of a night club where many and very noisy people are queing and having a party outside during the whole night until at least 06.30 in the morning. It is too noisy to sleep in the room even with earplugs, windows firmly closed (in the heat!) and being extremely tired. Don’t go if you plan to spend the night sleeping. Rooms are otherwise nice, spacious and clean.
Il y avait des travaux à notre arrivée dans la réception, non acceptable pour le prix. Pas d’isolation, on entend même les gens de l’étage en dessous. Si non belle chambre spacieuse, literie confortable.
Koselig med fin atmosfære 👌
Great location - but also noisy nights
The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing. Right in the middle of everything. This also means a lot of noise during the night keeping you from sleep. We were a family of three traveling and the room was quite spacious with two big beds. Unfortunately with quite hard beds and with even harder pillows. We were told that the bathroom opposite of our room was ours alone. During our stay we found that it was not only us using it and due to COVID-19 this was not very nice. We mentioned this in the reception during check-out and they apologized for this, as the intention was that it was only ours and not for anybody else to use. This maybe explained that we were not very happy about the cleaning of the bathroom. The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel. It was wonderful and recommendable. The staff also were very likeable. So if you don’t mind hard beds and noisy nights the hotel is perfect. Else maybe find something else. But for one night it was fine and as said, just in the middle of everything.
Muy acogedor...su ubicación perfecta y la atención recibida con mucha amabilidad.
Rapide visite du centre ville, accueil sympathique, dommage qu'il y ait autant de bruit.
Aventura!
Buena experiencis y buen servicio.
