The Urban Jungle Hostel

Minha experiência não foi muito boa, reservei uma cama 1 mês antes em um quarto com sacada e vista, quando cheguei eu fui remanejado para outro quarto, antes de entrar no quarto fui avisado que havia um grupo de garotas de férias no quarto, a recepcionista muito simpática me avisou que se tivesse qualquer problema eu poderia falar direto com ela. Quando entrei no quarto fiquei extremamente decepcionada, o quarto estava imundo, havia roupas , sapato biquíni jogados pelo quarto inclusive no chão, não teve condições de usar o banheiro estava deplorável, maquiagens espalhadas pelo banheiro, calcinhas pelo chão, papel higiênico sujo até encima da descarga do vaso, o lixo transbordando e derramados pelo chão, embalagem de absorventes femininos usados esparramados por todo lado, uma verdadeira imundície. Chamei a moça da recepção e pedi parae trocar de quarto expliquei porém não tinha outra cama disponível ( mas ela recolheu os lixo). Quando foi a noite ah garotas faziam muito barulho até 3:00 am ( todas as noites), na segunda noite uma delas chegou chorando foi um alvoroço todo enfim foram 3 noites sem dormir direito, sem descanso. As áreas común ( banheiro, cozinha,corredores....) estavam muito limpos, os recepcionista muito educados e a localização ótima. Porém foi a pior experiência em hotéis e hostel que já tive devido a falta de respeito e noção dos próprios companheiros de quarto.....

Google: ⸻ We had an amazing stay at The Urban Jungle Hostel! ✨ The location is unbeatable – right on the beach with real jungle vibes, it feels like paradise. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were always spotless. The service is outstanding: Umberto, the host, is super friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. He even cooked for us – such a highlight! He also organizes fantastic Coiba tours, which we can highly recommend. Everything was perfectly arranged and we had unforgettable experiences. In short: absolutely top – from the atmosphere and cleanliness to the service! If you come to Santa Catalina, this is the place to stay.

ziemlich teuer, aber gut. Positiv: Es ist ein sehr schönes Hostel und die Leute sind wirklich sehr aufmerksam, hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Dachterrasse ist ein Traum. Ich finde es gut, dass es eine whatsapp Gruppe gibt, in der man sich verabreden kann, so dass man nicht allein bleibt und es werden wirklich viele Aktivitäten angeboten (Tapas Tour, Beach Volleyball usw.) Negativ: Es gibt keine Möglichkeit seine Handtücher oder Badesachen zu trocknen. Zudem gab es in meinem Zimmer (das 4er Damen Zimmer im EG, Raumnummer 4) außer dem Kleiderhaken (4 Betten - 4 Haken) keine einzige Möglichkeit Sachen aufzuhängen. Das eine Doppelstockbett hatte noch Haken am Bett, mein Doppelstockbett leider nicht. Das Bad im EG ist auch gleichzeit der Waschmaschinen und Trocknerraum - d.h. dort ist es immer unfassbar warm drin. D.h. man kommt auch schwitzend aus der Dusche. ich habe pro Übernachtung 74 Euro bezahlt. Das ist für ein 4 Bettzimmer, mit einem Mixed-Bad (Geschlechtermix und WC-Dusche-Mix), ohne ein Frühstück wirklich unverschämt teuer. In anderen Hostels wird oft ein kleines, oder abgepacktes Frühstück angeboten.

Interesting hostel, really positive vibes all around and I especially enjoyed the tapas nights. I actually thought the paella/fiduea was tastier and had more depth of flavour than any other restaurant paellas I've had in Spain, so BRAVO!! I'm not joking either because I am a chef and work in a Spanish tapas. The mushroom croquetas were delicious too. Thanks for the meal, I didn't get the staff name who made the food but she was so nice. Also the receptionist who checked me in, I think it was Laura whom was very warm, welcoming and so cute! I have been several times to Malaga and this is one of my favourite stays, thanks to Urban Jungle for making it more fun especially for a solo traveller. Definitely recommend it for location and all the above.

This was a great hostel. The location is very ideal ( restaurants / cafes / bakeries/ stores ) everything is around the corner. The staff was amazing, really friendly and accommodating. The receptionists and cleaning staff were amazing. Olmo was my favorite receptionist as he was the friendliest staff there, always willing to talk and to share good spots to go to in Malaga and found the time to play chess with me.

This hostel was pretty good. Very clean and a good kitchen and rooftop. It was pretty social and I met some good people. Most of the hostel activities are outsourced (i.e. the pub crawls, walking tours) so it's very convenient but doesn't mean you'll necessarily be meeting people from the hostel. Bathrooms were super clean, though having to press the button every 20sec for water in the shower was annoying. The beds were very creaky if your weight wasn't perfectly spread out. Tack on the fact it's in a party area (so street noise) and you'll have room-mates coming back all through the night, it's not the best for a great sleep. But I think most people know that coming in (myself included) and so didn't bother me too much - just be aware. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, given this was probably the most expensive hostel from my research, I might opt for a different one if I was to come back to Malaga. But if you want something in a great location, that's super clean and modern, and you're not planning on a long stay, then I reckon this ticks all your boxes!

Great place to stay as a solo traveller. Very good location as it is right in the center of everything. I got welcomed by the sweetest receptionist, Laura, who was being super kind and helpful all the time. The only negative thing I will mention about this hostel was the kitchen. I saw a lot of ants in the kitchen and on the kitchen equipment as well. Not very appealing... Otherwise, super stay, nice events they do, such as pub crawl as well!
