Reviews
We had a very pleasant stay at Elcano. Everything went smoothly. The staff is very friendly. They kept the room very tidy. The property is well managed. It is near bus stop, so commute is very good. It is also just 300m from the nearby beach. Highly recommend place to stay if your are visiting Malaga.
A few days away in Málaga at a charming little hotel just steps from a beautiful beach. It’s about a 4 km walk into the city, or you can hop on the bus from right outside the hotel for just €1.40—super convenient. There’s not a great deal going on at the hotel itself, but that’s not why you travel. You come to explore, and this place is the perfect base to do just that. I will return to use this hotel.
We are very happy with the service, the cleanliness, the area and the facilities. The bed was comfortable, the neighbourhood is great - one of the oldest in Málaga, direct access to the beach with a great play area, perfect for families Not too loud
Hotel is situated around 4-5km from town centre. You can walk around sea front and enjoy beautiful wievs or you can take bus. The bus stop is 5 min walk from hotel. The room was nice, quiet and clean. I was happy for fridge so I could have bought some food. The only problem was that check-in time was only till 4pm and receptionist didn't speak English at all. However I enjoyed my stay 😊
This hotel is perfectly located, just a short walk from the beach. It’s a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of Málaga, yet the city is still easy to reach — by bike, by car, or even on foot (about a 45-minute walk if you enjoy walking, like we do). There are plenty of nice restaurants nearby. The staff are very friendly, although it helps to know a few words of Spanish. The room is cleaned daily, so please respect the work of the cleaning staff and keep it tidy. Dogs are welcome in the hotel (€10 per day), except in the breakfast area. Parking on the street can be a bit tricky, but it’s free. There’s also a nearby car park for €20 per day, which is staffed at all times. The hotel itself has its own parking space as well, but this need to be reserved quickly in advance. We can’t comment on the breakfast since we didn’t try it. We would definitely stay at this hotel again if we ever return!
