We loved the location. However, the space was incredibly small. The logistics to get to the second floor was complicated, I have knee difficulties and the multiple stairs are a problem but the elevator does not stop on the second floor unless you have a key which only the employees have. The street noise was incredible, kept us up the entire night, our first night. Nicely decorated and friendly staff, but I would not stay here again.

Billig og godt

Valg af hotel var at det skulle være tæt på centrum og det var det. Sengen god og det fælles badeværelse til 4 værelser, var nyt, pænt og rent. Det samme hotel vil blive valgt igen, ligger 200 m fra centrum,i den gamle bydel, tæt på mange ting, kan anbefales.

Cheap and cheerful hostel.

Chinitas urban hostel was in a great location. Close to all amenities. The front house staff were great, very knowledgeable about the area and with a good understanding of English. The hostel was also very clean. My only complaint would be that the four bed dorm was tiny, I had to unpack on the floor as there was very little space. You must remember though that the price of staying here is very cheap so I do not think it is fair complaining.

Extrêmement bruyant à cause du bar au dernier étage et du bruit de la rue. La réception met d'ailleurs à disposition des bouchons d'oreille tellement le niveau sonore est insupportable mais ces bouchons ne vous épargneront pas les basses de la musique. Odeurs d'alcool et de tabac froid dans les couloirs au réveil. Bref à éviter !

In the Heart of Historic Malaga

I stayed one night in Chinitas but found it to be a great experience at a backpacker's level. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and secure, the hostel itself was very secure, and the bathroom was clean and water was hot. I stayed in a four-bed, mixed dorm. The area is popular and therefore can be noisy in the evening until late but the hostel provides free ear plugs. The hostel is very well situated: a 5-10 min. walk from the airport Linea A bus (Passe del Parque - or also called the Marina stop - the second to the last), is inside the historic center, near the Cathedral, Roman Theatre and AlCazba Fort as well as the night scene. The rooftop terrace provided a nice view of the Cathedral. Breakfast (by coupon) was simple toast and coffee in the restaurant next door but was very welcome. I would stay there again.
