    Pros +

    • Breakfast was really nice. There weren’t a lot of options, but it was totally enough, so I was happy with it. The hotel is located basically across the road from the seaside, which makes it a really nice place if you come to Málaga for sunbathing or just long walks along the shore.

    Cons -

    • Overall, the hotel is very nice, but we were staying during the New Year period, so it was obviously quite expensive for what it is. Still, I had seen the prices in advance, so that was predictable.
    • Dark interior no sunlight enteringOld furnitures
    • Small but room was really nice. Especially loved the bathroom and shower

    Really nice small hotel, it is nice they kept some things as they were, it gives it a unique vibe. People were nice and breakfast too.

    4ReichenbachPosted on: 10-19-2025

    The lobby area was nice. The shampoo and conditioner was decent and had a pleasant mild smell, not overpowering.

    The room had dirty walls and is in need of a paint job and has deferred maintenance. For the price i paid, this is not acceptable. The phone to call the desk didnt work at all so i couldnt call for help with anything. The man at the front desk said he didnt know about it but at the same time didnt act surprised and i think he knew previously about the issue. The shower head is stuck at a bad angle. They give you 2 small waters no matter how many days you book for and i payed top dollar for this room. Then they want to sell you water. There were two people that slept in their clothes out on the outside lounge area on the 4th floor. Not sure if they were guests or people off the street looking for a place to crash for a few hours after a long night of partying. This area (4th floor outside lounge area/sundeck) needs the cushions replaced on all the furniture. They were all very worn and had tears with the stuffing showing. The breakfast i ended up not eating because it was hotdogs, lunchmeat and breads/waffles. They did have 1 fruit cup per person but nothing special. This is very carb heavy and not suitable for anyone who eats healthy. They said depending on the day they may have eggs but two days in a row it was hot dogs. They said it was a buffet but its not a buffet. There arent enough choices and supply to make it a buffet like most restaurants.This is what i would expect for 1/4 to 1/3 of the price. This hotel was expensive for what you got

    The hotel is within walking distance from the beach, and you can walk to the city center, too. The room was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable.Special thanks to the staff for being helpful and welcoming!

    I don’t have any complaints.

    Location is excellent, easy to get there fm airport,centrum, port, beach. Rooms are renovated, no balcony, bed was slightly hard, tv with only Spanish channels.

    Breakfast is one and the same every day. The so called coffee is Braun water, no smell, no taste. And to put a 18 years young girl to manage the breakfast is the most stupid thing in Malaga.

    9MichaelPosted on: 9-5-2025

    Very nice Boutique hotel. Lovely Staff. Very good location - proximity to beach, restaurants, buses and walk to town .. but not too busy. Nice breakfast in lovely setting. Nice roof Garden with great view

    No issues !

    9Maria T.Posted on: 9-1-2025

    The staff were very attentive and obliged. They could not do more for us. They gave us information about the restaurants, the beach, provided towels, umbrella, etc very nice. The location is great, near the beach and near the center. Fab. Muy buena localización.

    10AletiaPosted on: 8-18-2025

    Beautiful property; clean and comfortable. Close to the beach, bus lines. Great staff.

    8LeonorPosted on: 7-24-2025

    Staff was pleasant and helpful.

    The breakfast was good, but they only had one server, so it took too long. I actually felt bad for the young woman.

    9MichellePosted on: 7-20-2025

    Close to beach. Clean, updated room.

    The beds could be softer

    8GeorgePosted on: 6-24-2025

    Great location

    It's actually the Hotel California, so difficult to locate, until I asked directions at Hotel California (same street number). No sign identifying it

    8TeriPosted on: 6-18-2025

    Breakfast was excellent with lots of options. I like that it was served - no buffet.Staff was very helpful.

    The room was clean and well appointed but rather small. The air conditioner was not easy to use and the window had no screen.

    10RebeccaPosted on: 6-3-2025

    Really cute, vintage and well kept up hotel. Staff was wonderful, breakfast was delicious, room and shower were all great. Lovely spot!

    Nothing!

    8RichardPosted on: 5-10-2025

    Great location, far away enough from the center to be less chaotic yet quick enough to walk in. Also close to the beaches.

    10SarahPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Family run small and very interesting hotel in terms of decor (loved it). Rooms was smallish but VERY clean and modern and the shower was great. Had the breakfast which was lovely and fresh (only eggs on offer for the cooked element) but loads of other lovely things to eat. Hotel has a small rooftop terrace which was great. Can’t fault this gem of a hotel.

    10BriannaPosted on: 4-24-2025

    Really friendly staff. A great location - one street back from the beach and only an easy 10 minute walk into the centre of town. Beautiful, peaceful rooftop area overlooking the beach.

    8ElinaPosted on: 4-11-2025

    Nicely presented breakfast that varies from day-to-day, very comfortable bed, very quiet, nice sun terrace

    Very small room and shower. The room didn't look as nice as in the pictures.

    8TrevorPosted on: 3-31-2025

    Clean and comfortable. Bathroom floor could be very slippery. Great staff on the front desk - always super helpful. 15 minutes easy walk to the old town and sites. Would stay again.
