Jacinto Benavente is a safe, clean place to get your head down at night. it is about 15-20 minute bus ride away from the centre of malaga. The rooms are very basic, but that is reflected in the price. I would advise you to get a spanish phrasebook as malaga is not like many other spanish resorts,they all speak spanish!! If you are looking for cheap n cheerfull and you dont mind the short bus ride into town every day, i would reccomend Jacinto Benavente to anyone.

I wanted a place near the Motorways, with easy access to Malaga City, and to be near the Airport. There is also free parking on the street. and free wi-fi. A lot of friendly students live here during term. People on reception were fantastic. Would stay here again.

The place was ok, a bit noise with old doors and not very well comunicated specially at night, no buses at night. It was clean and good staff.
Res.Univ. Jacinto Benavente is fairly far from the main attractions in Malaga, but the bus system is good so getting to and from isn't much of a problem. The breakfast is extremly bread heavy. In fact, all they served was bread, cookies, and muffins. The staff spoke varying amounts of English, but everyone was nice and very helpful. The room and bathrooms I used were all very clean. I would stay here again for sure.
This hostel was a great place to sleep - but not a great location. We had to catch a bus and ride about 15 minutes in and out of town, but we knew that ahead of time. Breakfast in the morning was good - and the staff was great. Very clean, too!

Hi!! I don´t write very good in english, but I can´t went to Res. Univ. Jacinto Benavemte, then I cancel the reservation. Thank´s But the people when I call is very friendly.
Basically a college dorm, so kept pretty clean. 24 hour staff and strong wooden doors with bolt locks to each room, so security was not an issue.Staff was mostly helpful and free maps of the city are provided but if you only speak English well, some of the staff members basically can't speak English. Location is far from airport if you travel by bus (over 1 hour travel- so I recommend taxi to and from airport if you have a lot of luggage) but it's only about 10-15 minutes from the old city center by bus (1 euro) and in a seemingly safe area. If you are visiting during Semana Santa, note there are bus diversions for the processions, so you may have to take taxis or walk farther to the bus. 4 bathrooms in our hallway so the bathrooms with extremely small showers can be avoided. Water temperature a little tough to regulate and shower heads not great. Towels provided for free if needed. Not really a place to meet people but there were no policies on having alcohol on the premises. You could fill up on breakfast but it was mostly bread. Protein options were milk, colakan, and lard spreads. Jam and butter also provided. Overall, not a bad place at a good price.
