Pretty and very characterful traditional home. Our room was interesting—pretty Moroccan style furnishings such as a painted ceramic sink. Quite small but adequate, though the bed was against the wall so one person had to climb over the other to get out. Alright if you’re young but one of us is in our 70’s.

A door on the toilet would have been much appreciated.

Tea making was provided in a common area but not before 8:30 am which is quite late to wait for a cup of drink in the morning!

Overall it seemed a bit pricy for the accommodation.

The owner was very nice and helpful.

Property was nice, street outside was not great. The guy who greeted us was a bit off. Didn’t want to be there or seemed bothered and agitated with work in general. Might have been the owner, but he is very short tempered. Everyone has bad days, but running a hospitality business, attitude is key. And this is coming from being in the business for 20 years.

Incredible!!!

Gerard is super friendly and the hotel is BEAUTIFUL. Perfect walking distance to restaurants, sight seeing, and the beach. As a group of young women, we felt extremely safe. There’s air conditioning in the room and a coffee station downstairs. There’s even an adorable ragdoll cat that roams the hotel - it felt like a movie. Couldn’t say a bad word about this place. My go-to recommendation for anyone’s stay in Malaga.

The aesthetically pleasing vitrified ceramic tile flooring and wall treatments were a notable feature. Its convenient proximity to area attractions, restaurants, cafes, and eateries was advantageous. However, the property's location at the end of a street experiencing issues with homelessness and public intoxication presented safety concerns. On the morning leaving for breakfast, human waste was discovered near the entrance. Furthermore, early morning construction noise from the lower level disrupted our sleep. Parking was limited and the spaces were cramped.

Good stay in Malaga

The atmosphere was excellent—old style Arabic/Old Spanish establishment with internal courtyard and rooms with internal windows. A very authentic feel and dare I write, quaint. There was no noise from outside. Internal noise echoed a bit but the other guests weren’t noisy. The bed was spotlessly clean. The shower head needed a gasket to stop the water spraying everywhere except from the shower head itself! The holder on the wall for the shower head itself was too worn out to hold the shower head so I had to hold the shower head or rest it on the taps. The sink plug was fully inserted and to get it out so the sink could drain I had to dig it out with my fingernails. The hotel is close to the town’s restaurants and bars and the Alcazar and Roman Teatro. Excellent. I really enjoyed my stay but the shower and sink need some TLC. Get that fixed and it’s a gem.

My son stayed down the street in a hostel and he had a better room, more spacious, better air conditioning, a tv, a huge private bathroom, and lots of light. This place is not worth the money. The only good thing about this place is its location.

Beautiful guest house with lush terrace in the middle. Gerald was easy to reach via WhatsApp. I loved that the rooms had a name, mine was “cardamom” and I love having a real key for the room. My room had a window opened to the terrace and it looked like a painting. I had cleaning service during the day which is not common anymore and I appreciated that. The location is perfect, I walked everywhere. I parked in the parking garage on a nearby street and that was fine. Overall lovely.

It's a beautiful guest house with lots of charm. The host was polite and spoke English. The nearby car park cost €46 for 2 days and is a 2 minute walk. The location is great with a max of 30 minutes walk to most of the main locations.

The rooms are a little smaller than anticipated and no kettle in the room, although there is a communal kettle in the foyer. There's no TV in the rooms (doesn't bother me but some people may expect it). The walls are very thin so you will have to be cautious of noise.

Overall not a bad stay, expected a little more for the money but it was a last minute trip.

The room is cozy with its own private balcony. The decor and architecture is amazing and all the plants. The bed was firm and comfortable. Especially the pillow. It was chilly but they have central heat air and a hot plate to warm up room. Hot water takes a minute in shower.
A tiny shower, got to make sure you put a towel on the floor. The location is amazing so close to everything within walking distance from all the sites. I loved staying here. Also felt very safe. TGNCIQ friendly.

What a great find! El Riad Andaluz has lots of character, is beautifully presented and very comfortable. Whilst it's only a couple of minutes from the city centre it's remarkably quiet. And proprietor Gerald is always happy to help. The rooms are lovely (mostly colour -themed I think) although fairly small. So perhaps not ideal for a longer stay but absolutely perfect for a few days or so

Good option for backpackers

It is a simple hotel, with basic services, near the center.
The owner must correct the information published on the page. The parking information does not match the truth

Séjour agréable à Malaga

Chambre cosy avec une petite terrasse. Il ne faut pas avoir peur de l'intimité (pas de séparation murale avec la salle de bain). Proche du centre ville.

So much character! What a lovely hotel, made such a change from the usual chain hotels I’m used to staying in. I stayed in the single room which was small but fine for a couple of days. The balcony was my favourite thing about the room and opened the space up perfectly. Like other people have said the bathroom isn’t particularly private but as a solo traveler or couple who are very comfortable with each other it’s perfect. The room was very basic in terms of amenities (no fridge, iron, tea/coffee is downstairs in the lobby) but location is great and you everything on your doorstep. Got some great restaurant recommendations from the Receptionist and thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Recommend!

The owner was a gentleman who offered a great deal of information. The hotel is ideally located to PLAZA Merced and the 'Ol dTown'
It was clean and quiet.

Warm and friendly hotel with character

Very personal warm welcome with helpful advice given. The hotel and room was lovely - full of character, quirky, individual and aesthetically decorated. Due to flight delay I was late, but arrived to a very friendly introduction and felt immediately at home, which was really nice. I would highly recommend the hotel. It's isn't full of modern gadgets and shiny surfaces, instead it's full of heart.

Beautiful experience in the heart of old Malaga

If you are looking for bland 5 star services this is not for you. If you are looking for a unique experience it is. Florent and his staff are warm welcoming hosts and Georgina the housemaid is so helpful. But the star of the show is the place itself, a real experience of Andalucia and set in the perfect position to get to explore Malaga.

Our room overlooked the alley to the front and we had a small sitting room plus a double bedroom. There was a well designed shower tucked away. Stylish but simple.

A wonderful welcome and a great stay at El Riad Andaluz. We had a fantastic room, beautifully furnished and the hotel is in a great location close to the tourist attractions. The owners took the time to tell us all the must do attractions, bars and restaurants that they recommended in Malaga, and we felt very welcomed.

Had a wonderful stay!

A cozy, 8 roomed guest house on the edge of the\"Old Malaga\"
neighbourhood. The rooms are smallish but charmingly decorated and the courtyard in the middle is a little oasis to take a break.
The staff was friendly and it is in a great location for sightseeing and eating.

Warm hospitality

We were welcomed and oriented when we arrived by wonderful hosts, who also suggested a terrific tapas restaurant. The hotel is in the old city, so it is a bit hard to find and hard to park, but once there, we were in a great place. (There is a lot of construction nearby, which will be worth it eventually.) This was a great place to begin our trip on the Costa del Sol.

Very good place to stay! It's perfect for a few days or even a week if you're looking for a quiet and comfortable place to sleep. The landlord communicates very well, is responsive, and takes good care of everything. My only suggestion would be to have a kettle in each room so guests can make coffee or tea in the morning, instead of having to use the shared lobby at certain times. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the place and the landlord. I would happily stay here again.
