Top Málaga Hotel Reviews

Hotel Málaga Nostrum Airport

Hotel Málaga Nostrum Airport

10/10 Excellent
"The room was nice; a wee mini fridge with complimentary water. I didn't quite get the hang of the air conditioner but when it was on it was great. The staff made this hotel great. Couple issues with the door in 1st room but we're moved within 5 mins of reporting. We stayed 4 nights & room was cleaned twice. Nothing was too much to ask of the reception desk. Breakfast was mostly continental buffet but definitely enough for our UK tastes there was a small menu of hot items too , (7-11). Swimming pool on roof was lovely with the best pinapple/malibu cocktail was 12 euro 💶 but huge glass!! There was a dog in the next room which I could hear barking but not the worst. Great shower. Vending machines downstairs including 2euro coffees. Complimentary water with fruit & biscoff. Restaurant open till midnight & bar till 2am. Only downfall is the location which i think was an industrial park....which lookez quitw rough & no real view to speak off. Regular buses but about 30-40mina to get to city centre. 5-10 mins from airport 17 euro in an uber"

"Our third stay at this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. Prime location next to the cathedral with a lovely rooftop pool with stunning views all over the city and port. After 7pm it becomes a rooftop bar. The restaurant is also worth a visit. The room was spotless with great amenities, water, tea and coffee etc. Highly recommend staying here to enjoy the sights of Malaga."
