About
Feel Hostels Soho Malaga
Feel Hostels Soho Malaga sits on Calle Vendeja, a quiet street in the Soho district, about an 18-minute walk from Malagueta Beach. The Picasso Museum is close enough to reach on foot, and the city's bus and train stations are within easy reach. This is a two-star property, but the price point — from £29 per night — reflects its budget positioning.
The hostel is built around shared spaces: a communal kitchen with three fridges, a TV lounge, and a top-floor terrace that guests frequently mention for its views and evening socialising. The bar runs cocktail deals and occasional free dinner promotions, and staff organise walking tours and pub crawls. Practical touches include 24-hour reception, luggage storage, lockers, laundry facilities and an electric vehicle charging station.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Excellent social atmosphere — Guests consistently highlight the common areas, the rooftop terrace with views, and organised activities like walking tours and pub crawls. The bar's cocktail deals and free dinner promotions add to the sociable vibe.
- Clean and well-maintained — Multiple reviewers mention the hostel is very clean, with daily room changes and fresh towels provided free of charge.
- Central location — Close to the Picasso Museum, an 18-minute walk to Malagueta Beach, and near bus and train stations. Guests note it's easy to reach the city centre and beach buses.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Low comfort ratings — Guest comfort scores sit below the overall rating, suggesting that some find the beds or noise levels less than ideal for a restful stay.
- Limited facilities — The Facilities score is the lowest category, so while the hostel covers the basics, you shouldn't expect extras like a gym or pool.
- Dining is basic — Breakfast is a simple €1.5 offering of coffee, juice, bread and spreads, and the kitchen and terrace close at 11pm, which may be early for some.
- Not for those seeking peace — With a strong social scene and evening bar, light sleepers may find it lively. The emphasis on events and communal spaces means quiet time is limited.

6.7Verified guest“I stayed five nights and the place was spotless, with fresh towels and daily room changes. The kitchen and rooftop terrace were highlights, though both closed at 11pm. The bar and social areas stayed open later, around 1-2am, before closing for cleaning and breakfast prep. The location made it easy to get around by public transport, and the team did a great job. I would happily come back and recommend it to anyone.”
6.7Verified guest“Friendly staff, helpful and in a good spot.”
6.7Verified guest“The kitchen is big, with three fridges and a large table.”
6.7Verified guest“The social vibe was great. Common areas on the ground and top floors were perfect for meeting people, and the terrace had superb views. Cocktail deals were good, and they threw in a free dinner if you bought two drinks. Location was handy too — close to the centre and buses to the beaches, plus it was a pickup point for walking tours and pub crawls.”
6.7Verified guest“Very pleasant and helpful staff, and the hostel was very clean.”
6.7Verified guest“The girls working there were amazing — so helpful, smiling and kind. The hostel feels new, and I met two guests who were on their second stay, which says a lot. I'd almost certainly come back too.”
