Reviews
5/5 Stars – Absolutely phenomenal location and service! If you are looking for the ultimate base to explore Malaga, look no further. This hotel is smack in the middle of the city, making it the absolute ideal location for a vacation. You truly could not ask for a more central spot—everything you want to see, do, and eat is right on your doorstep. Beyond the unbeatable location, the property itself is spotless from top to bottom. Every area is meticulously maintained, giving it a fresh, high-end feel. To top it all off, the food and staff are both excellent. The team goes above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of with warm, professional service, and the dining options are a wonderful treat to start or end your day. If you're planning a trip to Malaga, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!
The hotel was perfectly located close to the Cathedral. It had a nice feel and was well appointed. Room 701 was spacious and better than expected for the rate we were paying. However, we realised in the middle of the night the air conditioning wasn’t working properly (as mentioned on other reviews) and the room was at an unbearable temperature of 23.5 degrees. The mattress was broken on one of the sides so my husband kept on sinking going to the side, we didn’t sleep well and were too tired to call reception so late at night. The swimming pool area was nice and had great potential but lacked attention to detail and supervision. The staff was friendly but it was clear there was not a senior person taking ownership of the space. The singer Dani Marquez was excellent, we weren’t expecting live music so it was a real treat to see him perform whilst enjoying the views. The receptionist on check out was efficient but didn’t ask if we had enjoyed our stay perhaps she was aware of the air conditioning issue and was avoiding dealing with a complaint. We didn’t have breakfast, €24 per person was far too much for Spain considering the better value options nearby.
The good Location: unbeatable. Rooftop bar: brilliant (especially when there’s live music). Pool: small, but great for cooling down under the hot Madrid sun. Price: (£131 for a Sunday, via Expedia for late May) represented excellent value for money. The bad A/C: wasn’t up to the job and the lowest we could get the room was 22.5 (warmer in the bathroom). Bed: sagging on one side.
We stayed 1 week in this hotel. Great location, 5 minutes away from the Cathedral and 10 minutes walk from Alcazaba, Picasso museum. So close to Malaga port. All the attractions are do close. Shopping centre, so many restaurants and plenty to choose. We watched Fleminco show near port. We walked everywhere. Because of it's location we really enjoyed our holiday. Rooms are very nice, bed was comfortable, bathrooms were clean. Service was good. Food in the restaurant was good. We enjoyed views from the roof top bar.
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The location was superb, and the room was comfortable and clean. The staff was extremely friendly, and we felt very welcomed throughout our stay. However, I would have preferred a larger closet, as there was only a small one for the three of us staying in a triple room. The breakfast could definitely be improved with a greater variety of food options. We stayed for seven nights, and the breakfast selection was exactly the same every day; a four-star hotel should offer a much better and more varied experience. The rooftop pool was quite small and included a bar area, so we did not end up using it.
