    "If you are on a budget it is on the main bus route fron the airport and easy to find even in the dark (look for the sign). My experience of the hostel was a very good one. Very central and good if you like a siesta." (99491985)

    The room was clean and quiet and the staff pleasant. Perfectly situated at an affordable price. It is serviced by a lift which was allways available.

    "Excellent" (99056323)

    Outstanding value. Central location. Excellent staff.

    Noisy - not hotel's fault.

    "Inexpensive simple hotel nicely located" (97729656)

    Pleasant clean & central

    Tea or coffee facility would be nice

    from Sainte-thérèse , Canada  on  October 9, 2007

    "Le fait d'être au centre ville est excellent pour les déplacements è pies vers les lieux historiques mais pour circuler en voiture il faut être doublement avertis que ce sont des rues étroites à sens unique et que le trajet devrait être mieux illustré pour des touristes qui ne connaissent pas la ville." (97409792)

    L'emplacement était tout à fait adéquat

    Le stationnement public qui obligeait à plusieurs détours avant d'arriver

    from Tranent , United Kingdom;GB  on  March 9, 2007

    "The fact that taxis cannot enter Sancha des Laras, the street in which the Victoria is situated, would have been a slight advantage. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our week in this hostel and tjhoght it was good value." (99815875)

    Proximity to city centre and cleanliness

    Slightly small but not really a problem

  • 5/10 Jeannie ( Other) 

    from Wetherby , United Kingdom;GB  on  November 8, 2006

    "I would have liked more accurate info on thte standard of the rooms and the facilities. Also it's at least 5 storeys high in a tall thin building, so feels claustrophobic in the corridors. One major concern was the fire exits and how, realistically, you'd get out if there was a fire downstairs and you were on the upper floors. I'm sure the Hostal complies with local regs - but....... Sheets and towels didn't smell clean and were grimy. Hostal has a friendly feel and is perfectly adequate if you don't mind the above." (99280042)

    very central in Malaga - easy acces to trains, buses, taxis, shops bars etc

    Not that clean, shabby and very basic

  • 8/10 David ( Other) 

    from Bath , United Kingdom;GB  on  July 8, 2006

    "The Staff were friendly and helpful. The Hostal is well located in the centre of the city, and convenient to all the sites of interest, the beach, shops, cafes and bars. A pleasant place to stay." (99407579)

    Comfortable, clean and entirely satisfactory.

    Nothing, except coffee/tea making facilities would be handy.

    "nice location. just a little old. the biggest complaint is the door was thin wood and only had a dead bolt. there was no safe. the shower curtain could have been thicker. every time I took a shower there was 1 inch of water covering the entire bathroom floor. friendly staff. lift. I paid less for a hostel in Madrid that was 10x nicer. Not that it was bad, just could use some updates." (99298934)

    location

    a little old fashioned for $$$. could be updated a bit. for instance there was no safe. the door was very thin wood. Didn't make me feel very secure. not computer access. the shower sucked.

    "The hotel is in the very centre of the city, reception is open 24 hours, receptionists could speak English. the room was nice and comfortable, the batrhoom clean and big and in our room there was air conditioning and tv. I'm really happy about our stay, the price was reasonable for the position of the hotel and for the accomodation. Bus to the airport stops 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The main street with shops is next door and the cathedral is 3 minutes walk....All restaurants and bars are nearby, but there was no noise from outside, very quiet street." (99483879)

    the room was clean and quite big, there was a tv with foreign channels, the bathroom was clean and big, hair dryer was supplied.

    from St austell , United Kingdom;GB  on  April 30, 2006

    "This is a real find. Right in the centre and yet right on the port a 1 euro ride from the bus station and airport.Be warned ...very little English understood or spoken both in the hotel or in Malaga (and Granada)so take your phrase book with you.Excellent fish fruit and vegetable marketjust around the corner and lots of delightful eating places within a few minutes walk.Well recommended as a starting and finishing place for your trip to Andalucia." (99059791)

    Great value for money,Situation,Cleanliness,all within easy reach of bus station railway station and airport.

    We enjoyed our two stays at the Victoria Hostal...nothing to dislike!

    from Yegen , Spain;ES  on  April 30, 2006

    "The location and the price of this hotel are its major strongpoints - I expected to pay much more for a room just minutes from the Picasso Museum and Cathedral. Outstanding value!" (99317286)

  • 9/10 Mary ( Group of adult friends) 

    from Bowie , United States;US  on  April 21, 2006

    "When first booking the hostal, I was looking at availability since this was the end of Semana Santa and the holiday season. Next I looked at the affordability and lastly, the accessablility of the location. I then saw a picture of one of the rooms. It was pleasant and bright, so I thought What a deal! I can easily say that I was not disappointed on any of these points. The desk persons during our stay were extremely helpful with maps and directions and calling for a taxi, etc. My adult daughter and I - two women traveling alone - both felt well cared for and safe. I would recommend this hostal to anyone." (99842926)

    The hostal was easy to get to and close to many major sights. The room was small but pleasant with a great view of the passing processions for Semana Santa. It also had a great bathtub, deep enough in which to soak. The tile floors shown. It was very welcoming. The staff was wonderfuland quite personable. They called a taxi for us and helped us with our bags when it was time to leave. We felt ... cared for.

    I can't think of anything to dislike about the accomodations.

    Amazing power shower! Also ideally located, very central for both the city centre and the ferry port.

  • 10/10 Emma ( Solo leisure traveller) 

    from Churchdown , United Kingdom;GB  on  March 7, 2006

    "Really impressed with the hotel. The staff were very good and the room was exceptional. The location was also amazing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone but for a single female traveller, it was great to be staying so economically at a hotel just off the main shopping street." (99760909)

    The newly fitted bedroom and bathroom. The shower was amazing. The room was also light.

    Provide extra pillows.

    "für einen Kurzaufenthalt sehr empfehlenswert" (99082908)

    die zentrale Lage

    dass kein Frühstück möglich ist

  • 6/10 Anonymous ( Young couple) 

    on  September 15, 2006

    "Wir waren nur in einen Tag in Malaga und deshalb mit unserem Aufenthalt in Hostal Victoria zufrieden. Das Hostel ist relativ günstig und zentral gelegen, man kann aber nicht zu Fuß zum Stadtstrand gelangen. Die Parkplatzsuche ist sehr schwer und Parkhäuser extrem teuer, eine Anreise mit PKW ist daher nicht weiterzuempfehlen. Cafés, Restaurants, Bars und Geschäfte sind sehr nah gelegen, allerdings kein Supermarkt. Frühstücksmöglichkeit leider nicht im Hostel, aber gleich um die Ecke gibt es ein Café. Für einen Aufenthalt von 1-2 Tagen weiterzuempfehlen." (99626038)

    zentral gelegen, ruhig, Fön vorhanden

    Frühstücksmöglichkeit, englischsprachiges Personal wäre vorteilhaft

  • 8/10 Daniela ( Solo leisure traveller) 

    from Berlin , Germany;DE  on  June 21, 2006

    "würde jederzeit nochmals dort übernachten, aber nur zum selben Preis oder günstiger Wäre gut gewesen zu wissen, dass es zu Fuß etwa 30 Minuten zum Strand Malagueta sind, so dass man besser den Bus nimmt (etwa 10 Minuten)." (99673473)

    zentrale Lage, sehr nettes Personal, sauberes Zimmer, superviele Fernsehprgramme in sehr guter Qualität

    Zimmer zum Hinterhof mit Blick auf Wand - wenn man den Vorhang aufzieht, konnte jeder auf 2 Meter ins Zimmer schauen

    "Es hat in unmittelbarer Nähe ein tolles Frühstück-Cafe. Es ist sauber, gut ausgerüstet (TV, Air Condition, Bad) nützlich und praktisch, aber nicht so liebevoll eingerichtet wie die billigeren Hostals." (99150058)

    Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Reception. Zentrale Lage, Taxistation sehr nahe, Taxi zum Flughafen 13 Euro.

    Eigentlich ist es tip top, aber es hat kein südländisches Flair.
