Good Vibes Only Hostel | Málaga

Rooms lack ventilation and cool air. Very humid. Capsules are of bad quality and very noisy. Don’t expect anything hostel-like from the common spaces. No facilities. They ask €5 per bag to store them the day after checking out, even when you’re a guest.

If you want to try an experience, this is a great place. First of all, there's parking nearby if you have time and patience; you'll find a spot. They're remodeling, so the entrance, for example, is a little hard to find, but Maps shows it correctly. It's in the plaza, and there are stairs to access the plaza from both sides. I don't know if there's another option (which I haven't seen), but the hotel itself is very good, the service is excellent, and the restrooms are great. I already mentioned to the woman there that I wanted a shelf inside the shower, but she said they're going to install dispensers, so that's perfect. Now, about the capsules: I thought they'd be cramped, but they're not. There are three downstairs and three upstairs in the same space, and even though the one upstairs is huge... and when it moves, goes in, or comes out, it sounds like there's an earthquake! Otherwise, we didn't hear a thing. You can adjust the lights however you like, and the air conditioning was very comfortable. If we were cold, we paid for it, and it was perfect. We had quite a lot of stuff in the lockers and it all fit, but it's true that if you have a large item, you have to leave it outside the locker but inside the room, as there are keys for everything. Overall, very good. We'll be back and we recommend it.

Very clean hostel, great location and super friendly staff 😍 Very good experience at Capsule Málaga

I chose it out of curiosity, but it's fantastic, as your space is very private, even though it's a hostel where everything else is shared. And the welcome was great; Aura is a very kind and friendly girl.

Hygiene and atmosphere: An unpleasant musty smell pervades the room from the moment you enter. Furthermore, despite the presence of lockers, the common area is cluttered with open suitcases on the floor, making the place very messy. Non-existent soundproofing: You can hear absolutely everything. The doors only close by slamming, and the lockers emit a shrill beep every time they're used. Add to that the inconsiderate behavior of some travelers (noisily eating sunflower seeds at 1 a.m....), and a good night's sleep becomes impossible. Outdated equipment: In a "modern" capsule, finding only USB-A ports and no standard or USB-C outlets is absurd. As a result, I couldn't charge my phone. Poorly designed bathrooms: No hooks, no shelves, nothing to put your clothes, towel, or toiletries on. It's a real struggle to take a proper shower. Misleading advertising: The photos on Google Maps and Booking.com do not reflect the actual reality of the place at all. I tried to cancel a week in advance, but my request was flatly refused. After only one night there, I decided to lose my money and find other accommodation for the rest of my stay.

Basically a gap in the market; sleeping in a sort of large human incubator, with mood lighting and options for securely storing luggage, is almost futuristic. You can’t turn around, but you sleep quite well. You will miss a bit of space and a place to sit and relax, for example.

This hotel, or whatever it is, is disgusting. It looks great in the photos and all, but the smell of feet is awful. Everyone's walking around with their shoes in the hallway, and they reek. There are no electrical outlets, so bring a power bank or something because the outlet in the capsule itself is incredibly slow. I spent one night here and only slept four hours because it was so impossible to get any rest. They should also reset the TVs when someone comes in because when I turned on the one in my capsule, there was an adult website open on Google. I'm never coming back. I'd rather spend a little more than return to a place like this.

It might be okay for one night, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer. Capsules have their own charm, which is why it was an experience I wanted to try. But I don't think I'll ever do it again. Poor soundproofing, so given the comings and goings of other guests, it was almost impossible to sleep, especially at night! The mattress was very thin and therefore uncomfortable, and the building seemed to be undergoing maintenance, making it unwelcoming! I don't know how long it's been open... but there's not even a sign! The plus side was its location, very close to the city center.

A huge thanks to Marcus (the Brazilian guy at reception) and all the ladies. It’s one of the places I would recommend because people were hospitable and friendly, making you feel welcome and accomodating for your needs. Location is also amazing. I dislocated my knee during my stay in Malaga and they helped with everything they could, from ice packs, to disable showers, they all made it better considering the unfortunate situation I was going through. We could store our luggages there for the day when we checked out too. Thank you so much. I see the other reviews and I get it, it’s comfortable just for a night or two, bed has a very thin mattress, the shower you need to press a button every 30 seconds, a place to hang your towels in the room would be a big improvement, once the storage is so little, especially when beds are for two people and the luggage storage doesn’t fit not even one luggage. But it’s good for privacy when you just need a place to sleep for a night.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I asked if I could leave my suitcase at the hotel even though I had already checked out, and the kind receptionist said it was no problem at all. Thank you so much for the excellent service and for treating guests so kindly.
