We liked the lovely courtyard with plants and lemon tree but unfortunately we did not have much time to use it. We also liked the common use kitchen and used it for morning breakfast of coffee and pastry. Nice to have a fridge to cool drinks and keep yogurt. However, taxi drivers found the location difficult to find and access on a short one-way street. They had to back down to exit the lane. Also, we couldn't find a convenience store in the neighbourhood to buy milk for coffee and cereal.

We enjoyed our stay at Blue Castle so much that we booked again the night before flying back to the states. Simple, clean and quaint accomodations. Air conditioning works great in the room, and a nice kitchen with coffee provided (we got some leche at the store). The patio is pleasant with lots of seating and a distant view of the cathedral. Easy walking to downtown, and we found parking both days of our stay. The first day we met Paula who was great. The last stay we didn't see anyone who worked there, but the instructions for checking in and out, getting our key were clear and simple. I'd stay there again without hesitation.

Misleading description and photos

The room was clean and comfortable however I have been forced to leave this review to put straight the misconception that the hotel has a "swimming pool". The photographs of the pool are completely misleading. At best it is a plunge pool and it is without question the smallest "swimming pool" I have ever seen. In general the garden area needs some TLC and a little updating. If the idea of a pool is the attraction here then forget it!

Cute little spot!

Blue Castle was honestly a pleasant surprise and probably one of our favourite places. Tucked away in a quiet area, but just 10-15min walk to everything in Malaga. The shared kitchen, garden and pool were so great to relax and cool down and makes up for the more minimal rooms. Only downside was with no european sim card we couldn’t really get in contact with the host/owner during our stay when we needed something, but otherwise self check-in and out was convenient!

Pinterestic but not Central

The Blue Castle is charming but not terribly comfortable or convenient. It is in a residential neighborhood with VERY limited street parking, and a mile from any Malaga sights. It is a guest house, not a hotel, so there’s a shared kitchen and no on-site staff. It is mostly clean if the other guests do their dishes. We only saw a couple of ants and some mold in the plaster in the shower. As mentioned in other reviews, the bedding is substandard — there was one thin pillow each, and no mattress pad. If it had cost half of what we paid, its cute gardens would have been worth the price.

The experience was awesome. I have never been to such a clean hostel in my life. Even hotels are not as clean and prestige white as this hostel. The hosts, husband and wife are the nicest people you will meet. There is a cute pool outside and tables to eat outdoors. The breakfast was neat. The hostel was super super clean. They even have plenty of books to read. A full operational kitchen and lots of spices. I loved this place. I didn’t even like Malaga as much as I liked this hostel. Thanks for the stay
