Great little 2 star hotel with an amazing location. Rooms are not very spacious and the view is a wall, but regardless, it was clean, staff was pleasant, great AC. Nothing to complain about, it’s important to have realistic expectations of this hotel and I’m sure it won’t disappoint.

The definitely a 1.5 star location. Facilities are very dated, poor sound control, AC struggled. We had technical issues with the lighting. Staff super friendly and helpful. Parking accommodations were convenient and reasonably priced. The best thing about this location is that it is close to all of what Malaga has to offer.

Location is all this has going for it.

We were only there for one night. The location is great. The lady at the front desk could not direct us to a good coffee location for morning. The older man at the front desk was absolutely not helpful or friendly.Your on you own here. Beds were very hard. If you don't like a hard bed, don't sleep here. Room was clean, towels were very rough. It seemed to me that they were air dried maybe. The location was very good. We only had a short time and we were able to see a lot in that time. Alcazaba was just around the corner. Roman theater was just down the road. Cathedral was around the corner. Lots of food, vendors and gift shops. Location is really all this place has going for it. It met our needs for the day we were there.

A wonderful Semana Santa in the heart of Malaga

This was a week of cultural and linguistic enrichment, attending Semana Santa. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was right in the heart of the town, while being quiet and a tranquil haven. So convenient.

The hotel is located on the Center, right where everything you want to see is. It does not get any better than. This is an old hotel. It is well kept. Unit was nice and clean, not issue there. The hotel provides parking for a fee. This is near the same hotel. It's kind of felt weird because the parking is located right where people are waking around, so it feels that you are doing something wrong driving where you did not suppose, but it is ok. You will not get fine for this. My only complaint is that we order some towels for the room. The front desk lady who works during the night call and said that she will bring this to the room later on because she was the only at the front desk, however, she left, and we never got the towels. We waited until midnight. Nevertheless, I will say, she was very nice and did help us in other things.
