The building has two side the hostel and the suites which we stayed in. We arrived before check-in and were able to leave bags while we had lunch. Our room was great, a double bed and sofa bed. Plenty of room for 3 adults. Nice to have some cooking facilities (kettle, toaster) and a fridge for drinks etc. We also had a small balcony which is really useful for drying swimwear. Hairdryer in the bathroom was bonus. The location is amazing just off the main road where the airport bus stops, a few mins walk from there do easy even with cases. Also, it's right opposite the market where you can get the most amazing food. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Luggage store a bit bonus.

Nothing

Great central location right in the centre of town. If coming from the airport, get the train rather than the bus. We took the bus which was €4 each but the train is faster and cheaper (4 stops only!) for €2.30. it's a short walk from the train station. All the staff were super friendly and answered all our questions about the local area. We had a triple room which was spacious and light but because it's at the top of the building with only sky light window, there is no view of the market area opposite. There was a useful small fridge in the room and the shower was lovely and hot/powerful. There's a kitchen in the hostel next door we could use but didn't need to. My teenage daughters joined the €10 pub/club tour organised by the hostel and loved it! We also enjoyed the free Sangria every night!!! A great place to stay and would highly recommend!

The door to our room had a very small gap at the top which meant it wasn't very well sound proofed. We could hear the people in the room next door which was generally fine because we couldn't understand what they were saying but it did disturb us a bit when they left at 6am!

The location is superb and the little rooftop at The Lights Hostel is decent. I arrived early and my room was ready before the allocated check-in time which was amazing. My "Suites" room was spacious, comfortable and clean.

I had a little trouble finding the entrance but that's probably more my fault than the Hostel's. I wasn't a fan of the card payment minimum of €10 when I only wanted to buy a drink. I understand why that's done but it can be a slight annoyance for the customer.

The windows opened to a beautiful view down over the Ataranza Market and I could sometimes hear strolling musicians. The air conditioning was divine, the room spacious and clean with attractive modern decor style. The bathroom and shower modern and clean. I could easily walk all over the old quarter and I did. Also there was a lift.

The walls were thin so I could hear neighbors and they could presumably hear me. The worst thing is I needed to do work but the "desk" was merely a table with an uncomfortable plastic chair much too low to properly type on a keyboard.

Super convenience place! More than that, I love the room! It’s very bright, especially around 9pm, I could see the beautiful sunset from both windows. It was amazing!! Also in the morning I can’t stop seeing outside in front of the market. The market opens 8am. However it’s a bit early to find something to eat. Don’t worry! Bakery and Cafes everywhere around the Lights. Definitely wanna come back and stay a bit longer.

We have to go to the hostel side for check-in. It’s completely different compared with the hotel side. So you’ll be a bit surprised…I guess. Staff are very nice and kind. So all okay.

Fantastic location on edge of old town and right opposite the market. Room was comfortable and clean. Appreciated the fridge and good A/C. Room had been recently renovated. Staff super helpful at hostel next door. Good wifi. We liked it so much, we asked to stay an extra night :)

Nothing! Suites adjoin a hostel but we had no extra noise and, unlike some other reviews, had seamless check in. Only minor complaint would be slow draining shower and some water noise from shower/toilet in room above. Minor though and didn't bother us

Balcony was lovely, room was clean, shower and bathroom was great. AC really helped at night in the heat. Staff were lovely

Bed was very squeaky, hard to get to sleep. Little pricey when compared to a hotel. More guidance on how to find reception before arrival would have been nice. Safe in the room would have be ideal

The accommodation devides itself in hostel and "hotel/suites", so it's perfect for everyone as you can decide once booking if you want to share the room/bathroom and pay less or opt for something more private and relaxing. I chose the second option so I can only give my opinion on that: the bedroom had comfy bed, a fridge and a kettle. The bathroom had a walk-in shower, the hairdryer and lots of towels. I really loved the fact that the staff organise several activities for the guests and there's also a WhatsApp group where the guests organise themselves in doing stuff. Unfortunately I had already all my days there planned but I read and saw on the chat all the nice things that were going on: watching the sunset from cool viewpoints, playing beach volley, doing excursions somewhere, pub-crawling, drinking free sangria at the top of the hotel, etc. I definitely recommend this place if you are a social person or want to do something different with other people even just for one day or moment of the day. If I ever come back to Malaga, I'll come back here as the room was perfect and because I'd like to join the others in some of those activities myself too! :)

The only thing I didn't like was the shower gel in the dispenser as it seemed like it has been mixed with water just to make it full again (not sure how to explain this) hence why I had to use basically all of it (as it seemed I was washing myself with water :/) and some more I had already brought in myself. Also, I'm not sure if there's a common microwave to use (as there was none in the room), as that would have made the place perfect, lol. PS: you can hear people from the room next door sometimes, but if people respect the sign in the hotel ("no noise after 10pm") then you're fine.

awesome location, new and modern apartment

we tred to check in 10min before official check in, guy working at reception didnt wanted to start with passports claiming it will take minute, and made us wait..at 14:27 girl went into building to check and clean apartment…finally after around 14:40 check in started and this was slowest person ever working on pc(should at least learn to use tab button on keyboard)…so we managed to get in apartment around 3pm…

- Easy to find and close to a lot of restaurants (I personally recommend going to Miss Sushi, which is a Japanese restaurant) and a grocery shop. The train and bus station are at a ~15 minutes walking distance. There's also a bus stop not too far from the hostel and the bus goes straight to the Airport. - very nice and welcoming staff (they speak English so you won't have to worry about not being understood). - The room is spacious and bright + you have a balcony. Love the simple decoration. There's a little fridge too, which can be helpful to keep your water nice and cold! - They provide clean towels and shower gel.

The room is definitely not soundproof, we could hear the people next door using a hair dryer at midnight haha
