Clean and comfortable. Quiet. Great lockers and showers. Good air ventilation when turned on, which is essential. Location is outstanding and allows you visit all the neighboring places, but still quiet, calm and relaxed.
Some random people living with you who lack basic hygiene norms or ethics, but it's nothing to do with the place itself.

The bathrooms/showers and lockers where very well organized and neat. I also appreciated the privacy in the room because of the curtain. The bed was quite big for a hostel, mattress and pillow super comfy.
Towels are not for free and that’s the only thing I would change of this hostel.
9.0 / 10.0
I highly recommend this hostel, especially for people who are staying in this type of accommodation for the first time. The beds have curtains, which give a sense of privacy. The beds are clean, with very comfortable pillows, and there is a secure luggage storage with a code. There’s also a common area for work or relaxation.
On the downside, the rooms have poor ventilation, which can make them feel stuffy, and there is no fridge. The staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend this place wholeheartedly.

Clean facilities, comfortable bed, soft blanket, easy check in
Feels sterile, like a hospital….the double digit numbered beds gives a very impersonal feel. Bathroom and lockers outside the room, I don’t like being so far away from my belongings. It is very quiet, if you don’t want to talk to anyone or make any noise whatsoever this is the place for you. Felt really self-conscious just existing. Common areas are very small. Little decor or art just all white everything

Great location, modern feel, 24hr check-in. Common areas are nice, and the capsules were spacious with good storage space. Very affordable too.
We were only given one locker between the two of us (no reason given), which only one of us was able to access because it was in the opposite sex's changing area. The rooms were noisy, with a roommate coming back at 3-4am to do a video call on speakerphone. Lastly, the showers and changing rooms were nice in design, but felt pretty unclean (esp. the floors).

I was only there for a few hours after a flight but the staff were lovely welcoming me at 3am
The dorm room was very loud as there were a lot of people inside and the top bunk was a little hard to climb into due to the ladder placement. Not a big issue though!
6.0 / 10.0
Modern design, clean, friendly staff. Opposite the train station for the airport.
If you are on the top bunk it is very difficult to get into bed, and feels dangerous every time I got in and out. The light sensor every time you walk around for the room lasts for 5 seconds and turns back off and on again constantly. Very annoying.

Everything was ideal. I was only there for 1 night but they made everything easy and the bed was really comfortable

Everything looks new.
It all seems a bit squashed, there was not a lot of space in the dorms or the changing rooms.
Was given a locker number that already had people's bags in it.
Getting onto the top bunk is dangerous as the steps are to the side of the bed, it needs stealth and flexibility that I'm running low on as an older traveller. Ask for a bottom bunk.

I had a very nice stay at Hotel Literal! Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the beds were super comfy — perfect after long days exploring the city. The location is amazing: very close to the city center, walking distance to the beach, and only about 2 minutes from the train station, which made it easy to travel and check out other beautiful coastal towns nearby.
What made the stay even better was the people I met — so many interesting conversations and connections. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Definitely a great base for anyone visiting Málaga!

La privacidad de las camas y los aseos
Que no dispone de cocina ni servicio de lavanderia

Las instalaciones, lockers con independencia de las habitaciones. Camas cerradas con todo lo necesario.
Todo está dado para que no se moleste en el descanso en las habitaciones, así y todo hay gente que se pone a hacer la maleta o molestar ne la habitación. Igual sería bueno establecer reglas claras para que en la habitación sólo se duerma y no se armen bolsos

As acomodações são como cápsulas, mas sem aquela decoração futurística horrorosa. Aliás, o espaço era bem bonito, organizado, com a equipe de limpeza trabalhando todo o tempo. Vestiário espaçoso e bem equipado. Há pequenas prateleiras dentro da cápsula para colocarmos nossos bens essenciais.

Luksusowy hostel!
Personel bardzo uprzejmy, pomocny, uśmiechnięty.
Od razu po wejściu do pokoju powitali mnie mili ludzie.
Łóżko miało jeden z najwygodniejszych materacy na jakim spałem w całym swoim życiu.
Temperatura w pokoju OK, fajnie, że można się zasłonić podczas spania.
Żelazko ogólnodostępne na plus.
Brak złych wspomnień związanych z obiektem.

Conforto das camas
Não tem equipamentos de cozinha (geladeira, torradeira); os banheiros ficam sujos rápido, pois as lixeiras são pequenas e amontoam papel, por mais que o pessoal da limpeza esteja o tempo todo limpando. Não dão toalhas (3 euros), cobram para armazenar bagagem após check-out(3 euros). Sem opção de café da manhã - a que tem, é cara.

Toda las instalacion está en buenas condiciones
Que la litera es muy alta. Cuando la vi, solicité cambio, la chica me dijo que no había, luego me dijo que si, por su actitud pareciera que era algo antojadiso. El Locket es solo para guardar cosas, no es apta para maletas. También hay Locket muy altos. Cuando pregunté si me podían guardar la maleta me querían cobrar, les dije que no.

Probably one of the most organized hostels I’ve ever been to; very nice cafe as you enter; great shower/locker facilities which keep the rooms clear of clutter; spacious pods; great use of personal PIN codes for access to everything. Near the train station and easy walk to the historic center and port areas.
Air flow could be improved in the pods; overhead lights wouldn’t go out after 2200 on two nights, but was fixed by night three.

O hostel é muito moderno e novo, com segurança e conforto. A equipe de limpeza é ótima e estava tudo impecável. A equipe do café, muito boa. A atendente Alina é muito simpática. O ambiente é silencioso e frequentado por pessoas de todas as idades.
Foi a minha primeira vez num hostel, e a falta de um banheiro privativo me incomodou... embora eu saiba que acomodações desse tipo são compartilhadas mesmo...

Liked privacy and location
Definitely overpriced forr what it was. The room had a smell due to people who are not hygienic in the room, and there needs ventilation in each cubicle.

Letti confortevoli, struttura nuova. Tutto automatizzato tramite app, molto pratico. La posizione ottima a 15 minuti a piedi dal centro
Gli armadietti troppo vicini uno all'altro, a volte mancava lo spazio materiale per appoggiare le proprie cose

La tecnología y la amabilidad de los chicos de recepción, me hicieron sentirme en confianza y segura.

- Fijn dat de lockers niet in de kamer zijn maar wel bij de douches. Dit zorgt voor minder ‘rommel’ in de kamers en je stoort de anderen niet als je vroeg of laat je koffer moet inpakken.
- Handig dat je met een app alle deuren en je locker kan open maken.
- Ik boekte voor 3 personen. Jammer dat wij op aparte kamers lagen.
- Wij gingen tijdens de ‘feria’. Hierdoor niet de typische hostelgasten, aanschuiven aan de douches en spiegels en best veel lawaai ‘s nachts in de kamers en gangen.

Lo unico es que es muy dificil subir a la cama ya que la escalera es lateral no frontal.
Escalera de la cama y falta mejor ventilacion en los dormitorios

Peu cher, bien situé, chambres confortables, douches hommes/femmes séparées. Entièrement géré via application
Les casiers sont hors des chambres, pas très pratique surtout lors de l’arrivée. Pas de distributeur d’eau.

El Hostel está muy bien, los cuartos son bastante amplios y cómodos.
La ubicación muy bien, ya que está cerca del centro y se puede ir caminando a todos lados
Me hubiese gustado que tuvieran algún lugar para poder dejar la mochila desde la hora del check out.
También estaría bueno que ofrezcan servicio de solo ducha (después de la hora del check out) ya que por ejemplo justo el último día tuve un trekking y me hubiese gustado tener este servicio

Me gustaron las camas y tener toallas, despues de haber estado en otros hostales no es normal tener toallas.
El lugar es pequeño, no tiene espacios al aire libre y se queda muy corto con los espacios compartidos, la cocina no tiene refrigerador. La entrada a todas las puertas necesita de una aplicacion para entrar, eso no es accesible para todo el mundo, no siempre tienes un telefono inteligente o internet.

Das cortinas das camas que dão total privacidade e de como as camas são maiores que o normal.
