My third stay and honestly don't think you can do better for the price. Location is brilliant - 2 mins walk to the centre, staff are friendly, helpful and available 24hrs. The rooms are spotlessly clean, have great aircon and a good shower.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Great location, but not with all costs

The location is great just next to the mercado and old city is reachable by foot. However, the room was totally overpriced and it was not even cleaned during the two nights of stay. It is clean as such and renovated at some point but the smell of ”spanish bathroom” is really distictive so make sure to keep the door closed and hopefully you’ll get used to it.

At first, I was put off because I had to check in in the hostel area. I was concerned that I wasn’t going to get the room that I paid for however they manage a hotel next-door and the room was extremely clean, very well located and included a refrigerator, kettle to make coffee, free instant coffee packets, and a lovely little balcony. They also left two free bottles of water and lent me a beach towel and umbrella for the day without charge. Breakfast was nothing to ride home about, but it was only three euros Overall, I would recommend the hotel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Clean, quiet, comfortable. Great location. Close to Malaga Centro. There is a sewage smell in the bathroom with both sink and shower draining slow. Management should look into it. The check-in is different as you take an elevator to the 4th floor of the Hostel, then take the elevator down to street level and go next door where you take a different elevator to your 4th floor hotel room. Again, a great location.
