We had an amazing experience here! The staff was very friendly and was there 24/7 to help us with anything that we needed. The breakfast was always really filling and they had fresh bread and croissants every day besides the rest of the food. The room was really spacious and clean and someone was coming daily to make the bed and take the trash out. The location has a bus stop right outside and it’s great for going into the city really fast. You can also walk to the city center as it is at a 15 min short walk. The beach is at only 5 minutes from the hotel and it’s great if you want to go there in the morning and then go check out the city. Besides this, they also have a rooftop with sunbeds and tables if you want to chill there.

Amazing location, 3 mins from the beach and walking distance to the city centre. Bus stop is in front of the hotel so very convenient for transport to the airport or train station. They provide towels and umbrellas for the beach and also you can borrow the iron if you need it. Room and bathroom was very clean. Possibility to leave the suitcase and Having bathroom next to the reception is beyond convenient if you have to check out early and have late flight you can use the whole day on the beach and just take a shower before you leave. If I ever return to Malaga I will book it again for sure .

The hotel is in a older building with very nice decor. Breakfast was very good and substantial, except for the coffee which was not especially good. The location is a few minutes walk from the historic center in a what you might call a suburb. The staff were very courteous and clearly took pride in their property. The room was very clean. The neighborhood had a certain charm but I didn't get well-acquainted with it during my short visit. There is a decent city beach nearby, where I had a nice swim.
I stayed in the single room, which was quite small. Because the hotel is on a busy commercial street, I found it to be quite noisy.

Beautiful hotel with great reception from the staff particularly Jesus who was very polite and helpful. The furnishings are very interesting and well thought out. The breakfast is presented very professionally and is excellent! There is a roof terrace with loungers looking out to the sea. The room was a single room and well appointed with a powerful shower. Just opposite are several local cafes and restaurants and no more than 100m from the promenade and beach.

Spotless, clean and cosy room! En-suite with a fridge, TV and AC makes your stay perfect. Blinds and curtains cut off lights completely, enabling you to sleep well. Two windows provide enough fresh air. The staff are super friendly (we talked about the EURO2024 game as well :)), responded very quickly and offered all the help I asked for. Superb location - beach nearby, supermarket within 3 min walk, bus stop on the front of the facility. Walkable to the city centre.
Nothing (AC was a bit difficult to adjust to a comfortable setting)

We weren't really sure what to expect for breakfast on the first morning as they bring it to your table, but after we got used to the idea of it not being a buffet breakfast we were quite happy with the good selection on offer. Our room seemed a little on the small side but this wasn't an issue as we had fair weather and made good use of the rooftop terrace which has views of the sea. 10 out of 10 for customer services; all of the staff are friendly and very helpful.
There was only seating for 6 people on the roof terrace. Please urgently replace the sun loungers - they are ALL broken!

Large room, large bed, great wi-fi connection. There is a small fridge available, also a coffe maker and coffee bags, sugar and tea are offered. Bathroom well equiped, clean and new. The Malagueta Beach is in close proximity at 5 minute walk from the hotel. A bus stop is just in front of the hotel with good connection to the city center. There is also a big supermaket nearby and even an italian restaurant (they have great pizza there). If you wish you can also take a shower the reception floor, not necessary to go back to your own bathroom. Breakfast is not much diverse but at least you can ask for more in case you want.
Breakfast must be notified at the reception a day in advance and it's not a self-service. You can only agree with what they can bring you and there are not many options; just yougurt with muesli, fried or scrambled eggs, a bun, a slice of cheese and ham. Coffee, tea or Cappucino and a little bowl of fruits, usually grapes, mango, orange or apple.

Room incredibly well equipped, very nice and comfortable, quiet and with a beautiful terrace with sea view. Breakfast was perfect: delicious, complete and served at the table by very kind, professional and attentive staff Location was excellent: 1 min from the beach, 15 min walk to the city centre; Also, at the bus stop just in front of the hotel many different bus lines take you practically to anywhere you need in Malaga, including the station where a very frequent and rapid train takes you to the airport. Very fast check in and check out procedure, also the staff at the reception is very friendly and professional.
Nothing.

Perfect location to see the Port and historic city center. Very close to the beach. Restaurants & Supermarkets close-by. However no direct metro/train from airport to the hotel. Hotel is briliantly renovated recently and spotless. Lobby is cozy. Small Terrace at the roof is also good for sun-bath. All Staff (especially Jesus) is very kind and helpfull. Thank you.
It was very difficult to use WC in the single room bathroom. Not enough space. Please see the photo to understand why. The hotel was pricey compared to similar category hotels. Probably because it was Eastern.

The hotel was ideally located within 4 minutes walk to the beautiful beach and promenade and only 15-20minute walk to the town centre. Our room 308 was quite small but it was adequate for just the two of us. The hotel has a pretty impressive roof terrace with lovely sunshade. Breakfast was really good and can be eaten inside or outside on the front terrace. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
We couldn't fault anything. However note this hotel is not suitable for wheelchair users as it has steps to the front and the lift is extremely small.
