Liked the view - Villa is on a hill and you can see the city and the ocean. Didn't like pretty much anything else. The 3-person room was tiny, with really steep and unsafe staircase leading to the attic area, where the 3rd bed was located. Our teen managed them, but they definitely would be treacherous for a younger child or an older adult. WiFi accessible only via special crazy long code, different for every device. We had to choose our breakfast at the time of check in and to commit to a specific time in the morning to get them. There was absolutely no food available during the day, and the hotel is really far from everything. Bathroom hand soap was just a jar of a cheap industrial stuff, etc, etc.

Could be great

The hotel has an amazing view overlooking Malaga, I would have thought that this would be the main focus of everything in the hotel.
However when we asked for our breakfast to be served on the patio we were refused because it seemed to much hassle to move a few table cloths and that other guest may request the Same.
Breakfast was at best average, I small rasher of bacon, a hot dog and scrambled egg microwaved, and store bought orange juice.
Because of this we decided not to eat at the restaurant.
This place could be so much better, I hope the management takes my review in good faith and wish them success.

We had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel. Lester at the reception desk was exceptionally kind and attentive to our needs.

As we arrived hungry in mid afternoon, we were disappointed to learn that the dining room was closed until 7pm. Lester came to our rescue. The cook agreed to open the dining room just for us and Lester acted as our waiter. We had a fabulous meal, with delicious food and a beautiful view of the city. Well, this is what I call a 5* service!

With respect to the the room was small but very well appointed.

I highly recommend this hotel; it earns a 5* across the board!

Very nice. Great staff

Really nice little hotel outside of the busy city center. Great view of the coast from high atop a hill. Very friendly staff and excellent restaurant. We had a rental car so we were looking for easy, free parking. Only complaint would be the hard mattress but that wouldn't stop us from staying again. If you’re looking to get out if the city for day trips this is a great option.

Located on a hill on the outskirts of Malaga, this place is more like a Bed and Breakfast. The room and bathroom were clean. The view from the room and the terrace was nice. Our room had a loft with a bed for the third adult. The front desk staff were courteous. Unlike many other hotels in Southern Spain, this one offers four set breakfast menus to choose from. We had the continental breakfast which was nice. Parking was free and was right in front of the property on a gravel patch. A good stop on the way from Granada to Cadiz. We stopped in Malaga so that we could see Gibraltar on our way to Cadiz.

Hotel is about 5 miles from centre of Malaga, which we knew, but there is a long very steep walk to the nearest bus stop. Didn't like the breakfast. It is not buffet breakfast which is normal these days. The staff are good but its better to serve yourself a coffee when you want rather than have to ask. There are 3 set choices for breakfast. Often they include a bit of what you want and a bit of what you don't. Orange juice is only available with one of these choices. Bread only with two. Never was able to get sliced bread to make toast.

Nice Hotel, situated up in the hills.

Nice Hotel situated up in the hills of Malaga, you really need a car to get around as walking up would be impossible!
The views from the restaurant are stunning, which is defiantly their USP!

The pool area is small but perfect for the amount of guests, and there is a honesty bar which is nice.

The food in the restaurant is very nice too, but quite pricey.

Rooms were basic and beds reasonably comfortable, Air con didn't work all that great.
There is a kettle but only glasses and fruit tea which was a bit weird.

I was disappointed with the room maids, cups were left, glasses were not cleaned and tea bags still there on the tray, they did the bare minimum.

most evenings we got a taxi into town, but costs varied and on average cost 12 euros each way, so quite a bit to add on to your daily spend.

I think there must of been a dog shelter somewhere, as every night and morning there was a chorus of dogs barking, lasting about 20 mins or so.

A night in Malaga

Used as a stopover between Malaga and a week in the mountains, it proved an excellent choice. The staff went out of their way to make us welcome, explain what they could offer and ensure we had a pleasant stay. Would thoroughly recommend.
It's not, though, near the centre but therefore is ideal for peace and quiet and also for an easy getaway when leaving.

High up on a hill, peaceful and serene, gorgeous view. Need a car - but that helps for the complete Costa del Sol region as well. Ask the hotel to guide you in from the airport (which we forgot to do) - it took us several wrong turns to find the right ones! Staff in dining room and front desk are very helpful, happy and accommodating. Beautiful time looking back and one of our favourite stays for sure! November is a little quieter too so that helped. Had the pool to ourselves and the weather was still hot.

Gem of a hotel

Location a little difficult to find but worth the effort. We found it a good base for visiting Seville, Granada etc. with easy access to Malaga Airport. The view of Malaga at night was amazing. We were located in a separate villa from the main hotel and whilst pleasant there were a lot of steps to climb with luggage so not suitable for everyone. If you have any mobility issues it would probably be best to tell the staff in advance and they would accommodate you appropriately.
The breakfast was a little disappointing with the cooked section cold and swimming in fat and oil. The dinners were far better but for the four days of our visit the menu was the same.

The hotel is on the outskirts of Malaga in a residential area so a car or taxi is needed as it is up a VERY steep hill.

Excellent hotel and worth every penny.

We stayed here for 6 days in a family room; 2 adults and 1 teenager. The children's rooms were at the top of a flight of stairs within the bedroom. Our daughter had no problem with them and she enjoyed her annex at the top of the stairs and the amazing view over the city of Malaga. The beds were comfortable, the room spotless and the staff were super-friendly and helpful.
We made use of the lovely swimming pool that is on site, to cool down at the end of our sightseeing trips. Likewise we twice ate at the Amador Restaurant which forms part of the hotel G. The food served here was exquisite and out of this world. It is frequented by visiting tourists and locals alike. We had everything from duck, to Sea-bream and Angus Short-rib, all of which were delicious. The puddings were equally as mouth-watering. It is great to eat a quality meal, full of flavour and textures and feel completely satisfied at the end - full, yet not bloated or with a leaden stomach. I would recommend this restaurant even if you didn't stay at the hotel. It is also reasonably priced with the meat dishes at about €20 to €25.
The breakfasts at Hotel G. were tasty, filling, varied and plentiful. It's a continental theme, though one could also order eggs (to one's liking) and select from a range of cold meats and cheeses. The best part of breakfast was the coffee which was simply 1st-class, my wife and I were both in agreement that it was the best part of what was an excellent & value for money b'fast.

The restaurant has great views too including the terrace and the chef goes out of his way to make what you ask for. The staff are excellent and take care of every request.
It is a fantastic 3 star property so do not expect frills normally in a five star but the rooms, bathrooms and property are spotlessly clean and decorated very beautifully. The rooms is serviced by housekeeping everyday and toiletries are well stocked.

There are some reviews which have mentioned sounds from other rooms - yes you do hear them but it is a small factor to ignore looking at the whole package.

we came back-for last night before flight home

Arrived to find a charming spanish family reunion lunch party with all the children dressed up and a very Spanish atmosphere. Dinner was far more international with a very loud hen type party dominating the dining room. Evening staff are very good with exceptional language skills. 20 euro menu was pumpkin soup, pork and chocolate cake so went for the a la carte which put the cost up to over 30 euro pp but suited us better. Loved the garlic and almond cold soup and the boozy cocktail sorbet in particular. Flight next morning meant we needed breakfast before 8 on a sunday but with staff arriving on a miserable wet morning at 7.45 we opted for the airport !

very welcoming

We arrived on a very late flight to Malaga and the hotel staff couldn't have been more welcoming. They even served us a light, delicious supper and drinks which was perfect. The location of the hotel was ideal being only 15-20 minutes from the airport and we were there for one night en route into Andalucia the next day. We would have struggled to find it without sat nav and in the dark as it was in a quiet neighbourhood up a steep hill and some way from the hub of the town - suited us brilliantly but wouldn't be great if you wanted to stay and sight see in Malaga or you didn't have a car. Our room was clean and comfortable but a bit dated and pokey with no outlook, however it was perfect for one night en route. The aircon didn't work very well but again not really a problem for one night in mid Sept. Overall an excellent experience. Thank you!

Hotel Villa Guadalupe is set high above the city of Malaga with stunning views in every direction. I shared a twin room with my friend, which unfortunately didn't have a balcony, so its important to contact the hotel in advance if you want one. However the room was clean, comfortable and well ventilated - perfect for our 3 night stay. The staff at the hotel are what truly made our short break special...they were just so helpful...about everything. From recommending a fabulous restaurant near to the Cathedral, loaning a map, to ensuring I was made a delicious vegetarian meal in the popular hotel restaurant - Amador.
Walking down to the bus stop was a real expedition and not for the faint hearted! ..not so much the distance but the vertical hills you need to hike down; the local bus service is frequent and takes you right into town.
All in all we loved this hotel and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Very clean and quiet

Hotel with 11 rooms was very clean and extremely quiet but very far from everything. Nothing within walking distance. Free parking.

A gem

This hotel is up in the hills near the university so if driving would use sat nav. Hotel beautiful inside and out. Food wonderful and fair price for quality. Owner and staff all really pleasant and helpful. Different from typical hotel. Perhaps a good choice for romantic break. Will go back.

Fantastic food - the best we had all week in Spain

We only had one night here, however would have liked to stay longer. It's a little bit out of the centre, but has amazing view over Malaga, and it's easy to get a taxi into the centre. And there is parking at the hotel. Staff were so helpful, could not have been better. We ate in the restaurant overlooking Malaga, fantastic food, great service. Highly recommend it. Only reason I haven't given 5 stars for comfort is because there wasn't a fridge in the room. Rooms had lovely balconies, too.

Nice experience

We stayed at the Villa Guadalupe for 2 nights at the end of March. We had traveled to Malaga to embark on a cruise ship. The hotel looked striking on the internet so I took a chance. It proved to be the best start to our holiday. The hotel has a hill top location which offers stunning views The staff are friendly and the food is unbelievably good and the drinks are very reasonably priced.

Brilliant View

Stayed here in March 2014. Amazing hotel with excellent staff. Beautiful location floating above the city. We stay in hotels all over and this will always be one of our favourites.

Beautiful View and excellent Staff

We were so surprised when the taxi pulled up to this great hotel. We had never booked via Expedia before this trip and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Malaga Spain. The hotel has a beautiful setting and a very comfortable feel. The hotel staff is excellent. They really made us feel welcomed. Our dinning experience was terrific. Wonderful food, beautiful view and great service. This is a great hotel if you do not want to stay in the heart of Malaga. Just a few minute taxi ride and you there.

Great place to stop in Malaga

We flew to Malaga and want to stay a couple of days to look around before heading off down the coast. We also wanted somewhere to stay on our return before an early morning flight home.... The Villa Guadalupe fitted this bill perfectly. The hotel is up on a hill overlooking the city with fantastic views over the city to the sea. Just down the hill is a bus stop which for E1.30 takes you straight into the tourist centre of the city. This is far more preferable than driving in and parking up. Parking is E1.80 an hour, and finding your way driving around the streets of Malaga to get back to the hotel is not easy..... There are quite a few roadworks going on at the moment.
The restaurant in the hotel is excellent as well. They have a menu for residents which is three courses for E20 pp..... and the food was excellent. There is also an extensive a la carte menu.
Breakfast is a buffet for E9 for the full buffet. We opted just for coffee/tea and cereal for a reduced rate.
The staff are lovely and very helpful.
It is also an easy run back to the airport for the trip back home.

A few notes of caution regarding google maps and directions..... Spain changed some/all of its road numbers 10/11 years ago, and google has not managed to keep up to date!! Also we found some street names that had changed, so navigating is sometimes a challenge. Apparently satnavs are also incorrect!!

Beautiful individual Hotel

We stayed here over a weekend 15th to the 18th of November 2013. All rooms were fully booked but you hardly noticed. The pool area is small but never overcrowded and breakfasts taken at leisure. The hotels main charms are its location on a hill in a residential area of Malaga with outstanding 180 degree vistas towards the coast, and the restaurant Amador. The food is very good and excellant value, as are the wines. The two brothers who own and manage the hotel are always on hand to make your stay personal a are their staff. They all deserve praise for making our stay special.Not all rooms had balconies so we upgraded for 10 euros per night to room 10 which had a large balcony overlooking Malaga and the coast. It was well worth it.
We had a hire car and with a little planning the hotel is easy to find and is not that far from all the major roads which take you into the City centre ( 10 mnutes ), the airport ( 15 minutes ) and to the towns East and West and North. We visited Rhonda in about 1 hr 30 minutes.Car parking at the hotel is free.My only negative were the firm beds and noise of the adjoining bathroom toilet flushing. If you are happy to be out of town I cannot recommend this hotel enough
