Great place to stay & good value for money. We have stayed here before when visiting Malaga. Its location is walking distance from the train station, shops & all local attractions. The hotel is very clean & rooms serviced every day, we have no complaints at all.

Ovidiu P. Families - 3/3/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Very nice. Rooms were a bit noisy, you could hear from other rooms, but the rest was a great choice: close to the center, very friendly staff helped with choosing a Gibraltar tour. Breakfast was excellent. I recommend.

David M. Solo - 3/1/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

I have been here now for the last 4 birthdays and the odd day here and there in between. I can't really fault it, if I had to say anything against it would only be when you put the respect the silence sign on the door that the cleaners talk really loudly outside your room but other than that the whole experience of staying at this hotel is really good. Comfortable bed and room. Decent shower and water pressure. Location is perfect to get around the town and to get to the stadium for the Malaga CF match. Spot on.

Still had to wait in a queue to check in despite checking in online as requested to save time! Booked an executive room as this was shown to be a bit special-it wasn’t. Room felt smaller than a basic room we’ve stayed in before. A table had been added which made it feel cramped, the fridge was empty and was unstable on the stand it was on. No decent cups for coffee from the machine; they were either tiny or paper cups. Room was noisier as it was at the front of the hotel. Not a great experience.

If I were the people we had walked in on I would have rated you 3. You should have apologised to them but I am sure the hotel did not.
