We enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly. We could leave our luggage before and after our stay. We were also able to borrow towels for the beach. They helped us rent a car. The breakfast was good, although it could have been better with more fruit options. The room was clean, and everything worked properly. The hotel is close to the beach. I recommend this place and will choose this hotel again next time I’m in Malaga.

Super clean and perfectly located within walking distance of both the Alcazaba and the beach. The receptionist, Gonzalo (hope I’m spelling it correctly), was very kind and went above and beyond to help us resolve a parking issue. The only downside was that the elevator was out of service during our entire two-night stay, so we had to carry heavy luggage to and from the third floor.
