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.

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!

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)

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.

A great hotel with lots of character and charm. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Don't be fooled by its 2 star rating as it is better than many higher rated hotels I have stayed in. The room we stayed in was modern, spacious and comfortable complete with tea coffee making facilities, air conditioning and ceiling fan, a fantastic mini fridge, and a good sized bathroom with a light up mirror; the water pressure was also wonderful. An added bonus was the rooftop terrace with a view of the ocean as the hotel is literally just around the corner from Malagueta beach.

The only con I can think of is that the steps leading up to the hotel could pose a small issue if you have a pram or buggy, or are someone with mobility issues. However there is an elevator inside the hotel

Best 2 star hotel I've been at. The location is amazing and the beach is only a few minutes away. There's a terace on the 4th floor with a nice view of the sea, you can catch some great sunrises and sunsets there. The Hotel was clean and the staff was really friendly.

If you have loud neighbours in the other rooms you can definitely hear them, especially early in the morning. The omelette portion for the breakfast is laughably small. Other than that, nothing to complain about.
