Great staff and crowds of all ages. However despite the quite hours starting from 10pm some guest couldn’t read the sign and thought it was nice to open and snack on bag of chips till 1 in the morning. Add in all the curtain swipe and zippers and you’ll know. €5 for dinner was a bargain.

You are on your own here.

Have stayed here over the years without any problems, but this time around not so good. Clothes and shoes stolen by another traveler who left early in the morning without checking out. Although they knew who it was they didn’t want to get involved themselves but suggested I deal with it myself with the tourist police. So I’m guessing that their good name as a hostel means nothing to them. P.s. while I was out buying replacements. The hostel cleaners helped themselves to my food and drinks(3) they left(2). When your guests are robbed in your premises it’s your business.

The staff are very helpful in pointing you to local attractions. The continental breakfast is reasonable for 2 EUR and coffee is complimentary. The screens on the beds aren't perfect, but they work as well as can be expected. It was busy, but quiet at night while I was here. Overall, a good stay.

Great place in Malaga

The staff at The Lights go out of their way to be helpful and friendly. They cook a delicious 3 Euro meal every evening to enjoy on the rooftop. Great place to meet people! It is a bit loud between the noise from the street and other guests but that is to be expected being near the city center and it is a bit of a party hostel, but not too crazy as the rooftop closes at 11pm. Would def stay again!

Definitely would go again

This is definitely one of the better hostels I've ever stayed at. The service was great and they are very good at getting people actively involved in experiencing the area. They had free tours and cheap drinks and every night they would make dinner on the roof. They were also very clean
