Chinitas Urban Hostel is centrally located, making it easy to explore Malaga, while the rooftop terrace offers great views. The rooms are a bit cramped, and the overall amenities could use improvement. It's a decent choice for a short stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for long-term visits due to limited communal space and a lack of cooking facilities.

The room I stayed in was very small, which made it difficult to move around comfortably. Unfortunately, I also encountered a cockroach in the bathroom during my stay.

The breakfast offered at the hostel wasn't worth the money; I would recommend skipping it. You only get a small coffee and a few churros.

There aren't many facilities other than the rooftop terrace. It would be nice to have a kitchen or a communal area for more social interaction.

Our stay at Chinitas Urban Hostel was really enjoyable, especially for its prime location right in the heart of Malaga. The cleanliness of the place was impressive, and the rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views of the cathedral. However, the noise level was quite noticeable, especially at night. Overall, it serves as a great option for budget travelers looking for a short stay in the city.

Staying at Chinitas Hostel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location is absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of the city center, and the rooms are exceptionally clean. However, the noise from nearby restaurants can be quite bothersome, and I was disappointed with the limited breakfast options. Additionally, the bathroom cleanliness could be improved and the lack of a social atmosphere made my longer stay feel somewhat lacking.

The Chinitas Hostel is perfectly located in the heart of the city center, making it easy to access various attractions. The rooms are nice and clean, though there can be noise from the nearby restaurants. The breakfast provided was rather limited, consisting of just a toasted bun and a coffee, which was disappointing. Overall, it's decent for the price, but improvements in cleanliness and amenities would enhance the experience.

The rooms were nice and clean, but the noise from the street was a bit distracting. I felt that a mirror in the room would be helpful when getting ready.

This hostel offers a great spot right in the city center, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms are clean and comfortable, plus the rooftop bar provides fantastic views. On the downside, it does get noisy from the surrounding area, and I noticed a small issue with the shared bathroom door. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for a short stay at a fair price.
