Chambre à vraiment besoin d'un coup de peinture et de changer certains meubles vraiment abîmé. J'étais au dernier étage et la ventilation de l'immeuble était infernale. La machine à café n'était pas lavé. Store laisser ouvert donc vraiment poussiéreux dû au soleil et il faisait 30 degrés dans la chambre à mon arrivée. C'est pas comme ça qu'on accueil des clients!

Does the job for a short stay

Location handy for the the centre and the port area. Barrio has plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants. Room was well-kept but small with limited closet space. Bathroom pretty small too. Hotel has lovely breakfast cafe connected to it. Would be happy to stay here again but suitable for a couple of days only.

This was a decent hotel. It was an good bed, and the sheets and bathroom were clean. It’s not fancy, the space is small (we had a hard time finding space to open both a large and small suitcase, alone w backpacks), and the hotel does look a bit outdated/ worn down. As I said, the bed/ br are clean, but the walls have marks and scuffs on them, and the wires hang out from the TV. Walls are thing, you can hear people going to elevator, and people partying outside, but neighborhood generally quiets down after 11-12pm. It’s good for a night stay, if you want something in a central area and budget. But don’t expect anything super inspiring or luxurious. Front reception was a desk in front of the elevator, and staff were friendly. Off site parking that is discounted by the hotel, about 5 min walk away on a smaller road. Breakfast at the adjoining cafe, it was good.

Worst hotel of my entire trip. Avoid.

Very disappointed with this hotel. I arrived in the evening and it turned out I had book for the next day by mistake. The guy on reception was rude and made it clear I was inconveniencing him. They had rooms available but would change my booking and made me pay there and then for that night knowing they would still get the money from Hotels.com because it was my mistake. Very poor form especially as this was during COVID and not many people were travelling. They should have bent over backwards for customers who support them in these tough times. Will never return to this hotel or its sister hotels.

Very convenient for all the reasons we visited. Port area, beach, old town. Staff were great. Best hotel coffee EVER (OK, most hotel coffee is awful). Smart, small city-centre hotel. Obviously the city centre can be noisy (traffic, drunks, building works) but the convenience of the location more than made up for that.

Good - couple of small improvements needed

The hotel is clean and tidy and in a great location. The bed was very comfortable but the air conditioning was temperamental and the shower position made it difficult to get in and out easily - the door touched the toilet so it was a case of a lot of shuffling around! Overall the hotel is good but a few small touches let it down - not necessarily in line with a boutique hotel.

It was fine!

This hotel was fine! Our room was okay, but I didn’t really like the ceiling. It’s very dark and was “cabin”like... worn out wooden look and didn’t feel so clean. But other than the roof, the room was nice and the bathroom was clean. We only stayed for one night, but no real complaints. Location was good!

Close to the city

Small room which we had read and anticipated so no big deal, nice modern decor with a coffee machine (we didn't use it) on arrival was pleasantly surprised to find a pillow menu so my husband called to order two to our taste but was asked if we didn't have enough in our room already !?! He replied he wanted from the pillow menue.
But after arriving back after dinner we realised there was no dooner or blanket our bed only a single layer sheet and a bed runner across the foot of the bed. and when i called reception for a blanket we were told there were none left and to ask again in the morning for one, Well even with the air con on 26 degrees we were frozen all night so when going out the next day my husband enquires for a blanket for our 2nd night but was told that they don't have blankets in any of there rooms as this is all they use in summer! So for our 2nd night I used the bed runner length ways as a 2nd layer and my husband used a bath towel with the air con switched off! Moral of the story they don't care if your comfortable or not! Not good enough for 3 star rated Hotel how hard is it to go to the cupboard for a blanket not to mention that the shower has to be run on a low pressure as the draine pipe backs up and over flowed on to the floor ☹️

Hotel was clean, 3rd night they forgot to make bed

this was the second time we have stayed at SOHO MALAGA, first stay great, this time not so great. Room was a internal one, very small, badly laid out, bed was very uncomfortable. We should have complained but we go on holiday to get out and about and enjoy. So I would not accept room 407, or perhaps any internal room. The area is a up and coming one, great restaurant over the road in the side street, a few good bars around, very near Old Town and Marina. I don't think we will be staying again at SOHO MALAGA, a shame as we go to Malaga twice a year, pretty sure we can find another hotel which is better and as reasonable.

Well located & compact

Hotel is compact and offers basic services but makes good use of adjacent cafeteria where breakfast is served. The room was compact and showed signs of wear but it was clean and comfortable with a coffee making facility which appears rare in Spain. Could not fault location ; 5 mins walk from city centre and it's various attractions and similarly close to harbour and beach. Getting to and from airport couldn't be easier , 5 mins walk from Alameda Central which has a direct and frequent link to main station and airport. Ideal hotel for a short stay.

A Quiet and Comfortable Malaga Hotel

My fifth time staying here. Great nights sleep thanks to very comfortable and huge bed. Smallish bathrooms but everything works well with plenty of towels and toiletries. Shower and bath excellent with NO LEAKING! Good service, wi-fi but let down by poor breakfast offer. (Pre-cooked, dried out scrambled eggs? Come on!) The geographical position is good as it's less noisy than the north side of Almeida Principal but within 5 mins walk of produce market and Calle Larios. Taxi rank is right outside the door.

The hotel was perfectly situated and newly renovated. Very friendly staff would help with any kind of question such as restaurants and parking questions. The only thing that could be problematic seems to be paperthin walls which expose you to the conversations of the neighbors eventually.

Simple hotel, great location

Great location, just a 10 minute walk from the train station that connects you to the airport. From there, it's just a few minutes walk into town, 10 minutes down to the harbour, and not much more farther to anywhere else of note. The hotel rooms themselves are well maintained and the beds are comfortable. Add to this a friendly and helpful staff and you can't really go wrong.

Cold and unappealing

The room had a cold feeling, we couldn't wait to get out of it, and didn't want to go back, the towels were threadbare, the checkin was short and unpleasant. This is supposed to be a Boutique Hotel but it has been poorly executed, from the room detail to the customer service. On the plus side the door man was pleasant and friendly and smiled, the only warmth we received at this hotel. There are better hotels for less than half the price in this area. Go check them out instead.

Small and perfectly formed.

A modern, quite minimalist hotel, The Hotel Solo Malaga is ideally situated to access the lively port area with its varied and high quality eateries. Also within a few minutes walk are the traffic free areas with a wide selection of shops, cafes, tapas bars and a delightful indoor market filled to the rafters with wonderful, good quality local produce at startlingly low prices. The many museums and galleries are also at hand. The staff were friendly and most helpful, in particular when they helped us to book transport and entrance tickets to the Alhambra Palace in Granada. We enjoyed the breakfast which was in a delightful cafe, part of the hotel, shared by local customers. The hot chocolate was the best we have ever tasted.

nous avions réservé à lhotel sohoboutique ,arrivés sur place
la chambre n'était pas en état à cause d'un dégât des eaux .nous avons donc changé pour le shobahia .franchement la chambre n'est pas à la hauteur du prix .pour compenser. le désagrément on nous offre le petit-déjeuner
j'estime que lors de la réservation on aurait dû nous avertir .le dégât des eaux datait de plusieur jours .pour ma part je ne trouve pas celà honnête. 129€ c'est cher payé pour un tel désagrément. une réduction de prix aurait été plus judicieuse por une chambre telle que celle que celle qu'on nous a attribués. très déçus, je supposé que vous ne tiendrez pas compte de mon message ,ou qu'il sera éliminé. je travaille dans le tourisme et je sais de quoi je parle.l

Vi var tre vennepar som hadde bestilt tre netter på dette hotellet. Når vi fikk tildelt rommene, stod dette i samsvar med de inntrykket vi hadde fått av bildene av hotellet.
Det var trange og mørke rom. Det var veldig lytt i mellom rommene. Alle tre par byttet hotell etter en natt.
