Chloe
My sister and I stayed here for a week and it was an amazing experience. The beds were super comfy which was needed since we did plenty of walking around the city. The front desk staff are super friendly and very helpful. On the first day one of the staff gave us a map of all the activities we could in Malaga! It was a very enjoyable experience and would absolutely come back here again.

The hotel was very old fashioned. Room was drab and gloomy. Air conditioning was very noisy. The bedside wall light was loose. The tap in the wash hand basin was stiff to move. There was a terrible smell of urine in the bathroom. There was no safety deposit box in the room meaning that we had to put valuables, cash, bank cards, passports etc in a bag and hand over at reception. This was extremely inconvenient as every time we needed money etc we had to go to reception with a form to be signed each time we removed something. On our last day in the hotel when we went to reception to ask for our things, we were told to come back later as the receptionist’s colleague was not there. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful but we would not return due to all of the above.
Louise
Excellent location, really helpful staff, the breakfast was excellent value for money. The air conditioning and shower were faultless. Ideal location to see the city as it’s right in the centre but still so quiet at night!
Robert
L'établissement est situé dans le centre historique de Malaga, ce qui est un gros plus. Et le personnel a été A1. Leur stationnement est exigu et le déjeuner est très ordinaire.
Susan

Hôtel très propre qui est très bien situé dans le quartier historique. On peut aller partout à pied! Le personnel à l'accueil était vraiment sympathique, souriant et toujours prêt à nous aider!
Stacy
Mi lugar favorito para quedarme en Málaga. Accesible. A pasos del Teatro Romano y la Catedral.
Excelente personal, muy atentos. Bonitas habitaciones. No es un hotel nuevo pero es super cómodo. Lo recomiendo sin dudar

Great location! Hotel garage parking very close by for 16.50euros/night was convenient. Restaurants and all sight seeing in walking distance. Hotel was super clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet for 7,50euros per person was great too. We would not hesitate to stay here again
Cassondra
Great location. Staff was amazing, Elvira was especially helpful in recommending special places to eat. Really enjoyed breakfast - lots of choices, all fresh. Would definitely recommend and definitely will stay there again.
Alan
This is a city centre two star hotel, with excellent links to the bus and metro services, which are within 5/10 minutes walking distance.
It is clean, tidy, well-kept and maintained, with above average wardrobe / cupboard space.
The staff were excellent, from front of house to the house-keeping team.
They were always available to help, order taxis, advice on locations to visit (and times to avoid crowds), plus accomodating when cleaning the room for my odd sleeping patterns (siestas are so needed, when you wind-down)
I stay in many hotels, normally 4 star plus and this has been a better experience than some of those.
Unusually quiet both day and night - not like a Monastery, but no loud lift noises and bar patrons !
Go with an open mind and enjoy Malaga Centro. And for those keyboard warriors who complain without addressing an issue at the time, then it wasn't a real issue, was it !
Would I stay again? Yes.

The location is excellent but the hotel is basic. The room was small with old furniture. The shower is very good. The main issue was the small window overlooking all the aircon units and with the noise they make, means zero sleep!

This hotel was perfectly located in the center of where we wanted to be. The staff was amazing, warm and very friendly. I would not know what to say as far as how to improve this hotel.It is just perfect.
Marsha
Excellent location, close to attractions, amenities and not far from the train station. Daily housekeeping.
Very friendly and accommodating reception staff (no problem getting a kettle). Very clean room and although it was right in the old town, it was really quiet.
Only downside was the breakfast. Very limited options and ran out of Earl Grey tea on our last 2 days. Disappointed not to have hot options like scrambled eggs. Next time, I’ll book without the breakfast and assess the situation when I arrive as to whether to just pay daily for it or eat elsewhere.
I would 100% recommended staying at this hotel.

Dianne
Staff very helpful and professional. Hotel in a great location. Quiet area at night. Single room but quite spacious. Cons: Bed okay but not overly comfortable. Towels were old, thin and scratchy.
Alison
The room was clean and compact, all staff friendly and helpful. The only downside was the window blind could not be opened fully, and I missed fresh air....however the price , location and staff more than made up for it.
Paul
Good hotel and great location.
Dany
Breakfast was not included but for the price it was economical and was ok. The room was Ok with a single bed a little bit pricey but the location is very central it couldn’t have been more central. The bathroom doesn’t have a curtain. It is a good hygiene but splashing the floor with water is inevitable. The staff is very hospitable and have day and night presence. All in all not all and not less what I expected.
Jean
Check in took 50 minutes, which didn't give a good first impression. The room was tiny with no external light, the bed hard and uncomfortable with a paper thin pillow. Although, the shower room was fine. The location, very central, close to the cathedral and Malaga museum.
Guillermo
Excellent service !!!!! People counter is excellent!!!!

Good location
The location of this hotel is excellent . Really good for the old town and the airport bus . The room.was clean the shower was good ...the bed was ok the pillow was as flat as a cream cracker . The service from the breakfast staff was good ..but it was all very basic ..it's cheap and mildly cheerful . Would stay again but would see if there was anything else a bit better before choosing

Biljana
Great little 2 star hotel with an amazing location. Rooms are not very spacious and the view is a wall, but regardless, it was clean, staff was pleasant, great AC. Nothing to complain about, it’s important to have realistic expectations of this hotel and I’m sure it won’t disappoint.
Stephane
The definitely a 1.5 star location. Facilities are very dated, poor sound control, AC struggled. We had technical issues with the lighting. Staff super friendly and helpful. Parking accommodations were convenient and reasonably priced. The best thing about this location is that it is close to all of what Malaga has to offer.
Frances
Wonderful location. Close to everything. Rooms ok & clean but it’s the location you are paying for.
The older man often on reception at night was very friendly & helpful , other staff ok but not the friendliest -asked for info on buses and was told to Google it myself in an offhand way.

Location is all this has going for it.
We were only there for one night. The location is great. The lady at the front desk could not direct us to a good coffee location for morning. The older man at the front desk was absolutely not helpful or friendly.Your on you own here. Beds were very hard. If you don't like a hard bed, don't sleep here. Room was clean, towels were very rough. It seemed to me that they were air dried maybe. The location was very good. We only had a short time and we were able to see a lot in that time. Alcazaba was just around the corner. Roman theater was just down the road. Cathedral was around the corner. Lots of food, vendors and gift shops. Location is really all this place has going for it. It met our needs for the day we were there.

A wonderful Semana Santa in the heart of Malaga
This was a week of cultural and linguistic enrichment, attending Semana Santa.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was right in the heart of the town, while being quiet and a tranquil haven. So convenient.

Great location, everything on your doorstep. Breakfast very basic/stale. Room comfortable enough but again quite basic, no kettle or mini fridge but AC worked well.
Eric
The hotel is located on the Center, right where everything you want to see is. It does not get any better than. This is an old hotel. It is well kept. Unit was nice and clean, not issue there. The hotel provides parking for a fee. This is near the same hotel. It's kind of felt weird because the parking is located right where people are waking around, so it feels that you are doing something wrong driving where you did not suppose, but it is ok. You will not get fine for this. My only complaint is that we order some towels for the room. The front desk lady who works during the night call and said that she will bring this to the room later on because she was the only at the front desk, however, she left, and we never got the towels. We waited until midnight. Nevertheless, I will say, she was very nice and did help us in other things.

This is the perfect place to stay to explore all of Malaga.

Parking was a wee bit tricky and driving down the roadway to the hotel was a bit stressful as I am from the states. The staff was super helpful and very nice. Our room was everything we would have hoped for. The breakfast was perfect and light. You are literally in the middle of the city at this hotel....super close to any and everything that you would want to do in Malaga. If we come to Malaga again we will be staying here.

Great location (in between the cathedral and Alcazaba) with friendly front desk team. Room was simple but clean and comfy. Bathroom a little dated but good shower pressure. Shutters and curtains so completely dark at night and it was quiet too.

Excellent location but...
No towels nor shower gel when we got to the room, had to request to front desk. Everything else was average. No other issues.

It’s is in a perfect location, walking distance for pretty much everything.10 min walk to the train taking you to the airport.
Breakfast is plenty.
The room is airy, but need a bit of upgrade, it’s tired.Bedside lamp was wobbly, air on/heating was extremely loud.Free toiletries is a bit of stretch, hand soap @ sink and the same soap for shower.
No kettle for coffee or tea in the room.
Overall is ok for a few days, but wouldn’t stay there for a week

We stayed for 2 nights for Christmas. Everyone in the hotel wete very attentive and kind. We appreciated the hotel was a 5 minute walk from the Roman Ampitheatre ruins, the Alcazaba(fort), and Cathedral. Yes, the rooms are a little worn but we were very comfortable and happy. Plus there were restaurants, cafes and shops galore. Thank you for the hospitality!

Nice location, some of the staff not so nice. Power in the room was on only if you inserted your hotel key card in a reader so the fridge did not function when not in the room so you can’t keep perishable food in there when out for the day.
