My partner and I stayed at this hotel during our most recent trip to Malaga. This hotel was wonderful. Breakfast was great. The hotel was very clean and in a great location close to many restaurants and shopping. Would definitely come back here

Dear Gerry,Thank you for choosing Icon Malabar.We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay with us and that our location reached your expectations.We hope you visit us again.Kind regards,Rebecca Evans,General Manager
To start, the location is close to everything without being in the Centro Historico (a short walk away), making it a bit quieter. The staff are very helpful, and the rooms are very well designed and decorated. ICON Malabar is a hotel on par with many of the best contemporary hotels in London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, etc. I will definitely stay here again.

The staff here goes above and beyond for their guests and are always friendly and helpful. They do little touches to make your stay memorable, it was my birthday during our trip and we were greeted at breakfast with a muffin with a candle in it and a little card signed by all of the staff, so thoughtful. The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed, and the beds very comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Malaga.

It was in a great location and a beautiful architectural building. We can a small double room that was adequate with a small balcony. We were facing a multi story car park which was a little disappointing but it was quiet peaceful area. The staff are amazing and so very helpful. I had a lovely welcome email from the hotel who booked my transfers for me. The reception staff even gave me their WhatsApp contacts details and said to ring at anytime if we needed advice. The restaurant evening menu was a little limited, but we had was lovely.

Centrally located, about six minutes away from the Malaga CA train station that is only ten minutes to the airport. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room. Just found it strange that housekeeping didn't clear the bathroom trash daily.

Everything went well, with exception that our room was located on the first floor next to the street and we heard drunk people screaming.
I requested to be changed to another floor. The receptionist didn’t want to She was rude and unpleasant.
We arrived late at night, so I think the personal at night time should receive more training how to treat the tourist.
People working in the morning shift I will give them 20 of 10.
The lady who took care of us at night time 0 of 20.
The hotel have a great breakfast.

Excellent location in Malaga. It's a block off the main street through town and is quiet. Many of the other hotels are on main streets or the main plazas and can be a bit noisy. It's a five minute walk to the Cathedral, seven minutes to the Alcazaba, 10 minutes to the main market (a must see) and 15 minutes to the beaches. Really centrally located and many dining options nearby. Rooms are on the small size, but you're not going to be spending a lot of time in the hotel. Good WiFi. Would stay there again.

Beautiful room and very nice service! The property doesn’t have too many restaurants in the immediate vicinity but that allows it to be on the quieter side. I had asked for a quiet room and top floor, they gave me first floor but the room was fairly quiet, beautifully designed and a well appointed spacious room. Would definitely recommend
