Oasis Backpackers' Hostel Málaga

Oasis Backpackers' Hostel Málaga is a budget hostel at Calle San Telmo, 14, in the Centro Histórico of Málaga, a short walk north of the Plaza de la Merced and close to the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba. The area is among the most atmospheric parts of the old town, with the Museo Picasso Málaga, the Picasso birthplace museum on Plaza de la Merced, the cathedral and Calle Larios all within roughly ten minutes on foot. The María Zambrano station is about 20 to 25 minutes away on foot. Listed rates run from about €18 to €60 per night, depending on whether guests take a dormitory bed or a private room, and the guest rating is a strong 4.4. Accommodation includes mixed dormitory beds, female dormitory beds and private double rooms, and the stated amenities are a rooftop terrace, a shared kitchen, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The rooftop terrace is the social centre of the hostel and gives views toward the old town and the Alcazaba, while the shared kitchen allows guests to cook meals with ingredients from the Atarazanas market. The hostel's website is oasismalaga.com. The service character is social and informal: hostels of this type commonly organise activities such as communal dinners, walking tours and evenings out, though guests should check the current programme directly. The setting suits backpackers, solo travellers, young groups and budget-conscious visitors who want to meet other travellers. Noise levels in a central hostel can be high, particularly on the terrace in summer, and light sleepers may prefer a private room or the female dormitory. Guests should bring a padlock or check locker provision, and confirm whether linen and towels are included. The surrounding streets contain many tapas bars, cafés and bakeries, and the location allows most sightseeing to be done on foot. Vehicles have limited access in the lanes near the hostel.
