However, be aware that the GPS doesn't quite detect small turns accurately. Malaga's major attractions are all least about 10-15 min walk away. Parking: right outside the Villa Alicia, there is street parking demarcated by white dotted lines. Parking is free there. Obviously practise your parallel parking. Room: our room was on the top floor. There is no elevator in the building. You will need to climb a few steps on the stairs to reach from street level to reception. Then for us, another 3 flights of stairs to reach our room. The room had an in suite shower and toilet with a hand soap dispenser. Unfortunately for us, the lock on the door was a bit messed up you have yo use a key to open and close the lock. In room amenities: there was a kettle, 2 mugs and spoons, tea bags that did not have an outer packaging, instant nestle coffee, and a mini fridge. Shower: Very strong water pressure with adequate heat. There was no 'running out of hot water' issue that is sometime typical with European guest houses. Air conditioning: you have to pay 3 or 4 EUR (depending on the room) to get a card to activate the air conditioner. If you pay it when you are paying for the room, it can go on the credit card, otherwise, cash only. Breakfast: is not free and it's cash only, but I saw a good selection of simple continental options.

The staff is very well informed and can provide you a lot information about the city. We had a three person bedroom, and the room had everything that you expect. The room was clean, on each bed was a set of fresh sheets, it had a sink with a mirror and even a small balcony. The towels weren't included, but you can rent one for €1. Outside the room were two bathrooms which were clean as well. I think that the location of the hostel is quiet good. It is very centric and about 15 minutes away from Alhambra by foot.
