I liked the fact that you get an individual pod for yourself. I thought it was shared but it’s more like a really tiny room to yourself. Really tiny, maybe 3-5m. Also the fact that you get a key to your pod so your belongings are safe.

I had the pleasure of staying at Toc Hostel in Malaga last year, and it was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip. With an extended 8-day stay that coincided with my birthday, the experience turned out to be nothing short of exceptional. Toc Hostel has truly set the bar high when it comes to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for travelers. From the moment I stepped foot into the hostel, I was greeted by an ambiance that radiated comfort and friendliness. The staff, undoubtedly the backbone of any establishment, were not just helpful but went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was memorable. Their professionalism was evident in their interactions, and their constant smiles added an extra layer of positivity to the overall experience. What truly makes Toc Hostel stand out is the remarkable community it fosters among fellow travelers. During my stay, I had the pleasure of meeting some incredible individuals from different parts of the world. The hostel's communal spaces were designed in a way that facilitated meaningful interactions and connections. It was heartwarming to share stories, experiences, and laughter with people who quickly felt like old friends. I must extend a special note of appreciation to Luca, a truly remarkable individual who embodies the spirit of hospitality. His humility, professionalism, and genuine warmth made my stay even more memorable. Luca's dedication to ensuring the comfort of each guest is truly commendable, and his presence undoubtedly enhances the Toc Hostel experience. As I contemplated returning to Malaga, the choice was clear – I had to come back to Toc Hostel. The allure of a place that feels like home, coupled with the anticipation of reconnecting with fellow travelers and the ever-amazing staff, was simply irresistible.

AnetaSolo traveller - 6.0Scored 6.0PleasantRated pleasant· 24 reviewsThe guy was a sweetheart, and didn't mind at all that it was nearly midnight when I checked in, or when I rang the doorbell thinking it was a light switch. Also I didn't feel remotely unsafe, despite being on my own. It was great having an affordable room of my own, (as I'm a bit long in the tooth to be staying in a dormitory) and having access to a kitchen (fridge, tap water).HilarySolo traveller

Very clean!! . Very quiet in the rooms, despite the location in the very historical center. Excellent cuisine. On the ground floor there is a bar, a relaxation area, and billiards. Luggage storage 24/7. Very nice people at the reception. Good showers in the rooms, comfortable beds. The best location for this price and even higher!

It was situated in a quiet little area, yet only a few minutes walk from a busy area so you felt safe walking back in the evenings. Coeo staff were based at the main hostel building no more than a 5 minute walk from the apartment and were incredibly helpful via WhatsApp and were happy to store our luggage after checkout until we left for our flight. Would highly recommend Coeo and would definitely stay here again.AlexFamily with young children
