Guest Ratings & Reviews
I stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The rooms were very spacious and luxurious, but I was disappointed that my 'deluxe' room didn't have a window and lacked a bath. However, the room was super clean with a very comfortable bed. The service was friendly and helpful, especially during breakfast, which helped create a relaxing and familiar atmosphere. The hotel's central location in Malaga's old town was superb, making it convenient to explore the city's attractions. The dining experience was a bit pricey and the atmosphere in the restaurant was not as warm as I would have liked, but the food options were superb with a good selection. Overall, the facilities were great, offering all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is in a prime location in the old town of Malaga, ideal for exploring all the tourist sights with a lovely bar and restaurants nearby. The rooms are nice and modern, although they felt more basic than deluxe, lacking a window but featuring a fantastic walk-in shower. The service, while generally helpful, suffered from occasional tardiness and oversight on noise issues. The dining experience, with a full range of options but a cold atmosphere, left something to be desired, although the location compensated with a buzzing scene just outside.
The hotel's location was superb, right in the heart of the historic center, steps away from all the key attractions. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable, had some drawbacks with small windows higher up. The service was excellent, with staff always ready to assist. The dining experience, while in a charming bistro, suffered from slow service and overpriced, cold meals. Overall, the hotel offers a convenient location and pleasant service, but the room windows and dining could be improved.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were taken care of daily and were absolutely fantastic, equipped with all amenities and impeccably clean. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. However, it was misleading to be told the hotel wasn't full when numerous rooms were available.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room had all the amenities and was super well-clean. The bed was really comfortable, and the facilities were excellent. The service was super helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The location was super central and conveniently close to all that Malaga old town and the port area has to offer. The dining options were superb with plenty of choices, and the hot food was cooked to order. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
I absolutely loved this hotel's location right in the heart of the Old Town, making it easy to explore all the tourist sights. The rooms were incredibly warm, quiet, and so comfortable, though overlooking the street was a bit of a letdown. The service was extremely helpful, going above and beyond to assist us during our stay. The dining experience was just excellent with a buffet menu and a la carte options. Overall, a great stay with some room for improvement.
