Situated in the soho area of Malaga, this hotel is ideally placed for a short stroll to the old town and port, and it is a quick taxi ride or 15 minute walk to the Maria Zambrano train station. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable and there was a decent selection of foods for breakfast. I would thoroughly recommend for a visit.

Great location for exploring the historic and cultural centre of Malaga. A bonus was the convenient bike hire service that was better value than local bike rental shops.

Overpriced

Unfortunately I found this hotel to be lacking in value compared to what you pay. The breakfast selection was very sparse and the coffee was undrinkable. Unlike other hotels we stayed in in Spain, children are charged full price for the buffet. On the first day they give you two free waters but do not replenish. For the price I had higher expectations for the food. The room was nice and clean.
