Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful, with spacious and quiet rooms offering a lovely view of the cathedral. The inclusion of a mancala design and colored pencils was a nice touch, but the limited supply of tea and coffee felt a bit stingy for a place of this caliber.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were excellent, with the bed changed every two days, complimentary whisky, and peanuts. The view of the harbor from the balcony overlooking Calle Molina Lario was spectacular. However, the limited supply of tea and coffee felt a bit stingy given the hotel's standard.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, with room 708 offering a stunning view of the sea and the cathedral. Recycling containers nearby and road cleaners were a bit noticeable but didn't hinder my experience. The service was top-notch, the location was perfect for exploring the city, and the dining experience, although a bit limited in hot dishes, was enjoyable. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel had a lovely and spacious room, kept very clean and comfortable, which was great. However, the room was at the back with no view. The service was extremely helpful, especially Sara on reception. The location was excellent, right near the cathedral and old city center, perfect for exploring various parts of Malaga. The dining options were fine, with enough fresh fruit and tea, but not the best value for money. The facilities were overall good, with some minor inconveniences.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms, friendly and efficient staff. The location was perfect right in the heart of Málaga, making it convenient for exploring the city. However, the dining options were just average and a bit overpriced for what was offered.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were small but beautifully designed with a minimalist modern decor, and the highlight for me was the awesome large terrace offering stunning views of the cathedral and marina area. The staff was attentive and friendly, making our check-out process seamless. However, there was a minor issue with certain amenities not being replenished by the chambermaid.
The hotel boasts spacious rooms with a lovely big bathroom and a balcony, along with a captivating rooftop bar overlooking the internal lobby. The service was very pleasant and efficient, despite a small hiccup with the chambermaid. The location is exceptional, being just 50 meters from the Cathedral and Plaza del Obispo, making it central to the historic quarter, Pompidou Centre, and the port area. The dining experience was good overall, although the hotel's preference for larger groups caused minor issues. The facilities add to the overall charm of the hotel.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated, but the darkness and noise from the atrium affected my stay. The central location was great for exploring Malaga, but the dining arrangements were a bit problematic.
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were beautiful and well-appointed, offering a unique touch with a mancala design and colored pencils for creative moments. Despite some noise from the nearby restaurants, being on the 4th floor provided a good view. The service was excellent, although an unfortunate incident of theft occurred. The location was superb, right in the heart of the old city, making exploring easy and enjoyable. The dining experience was nice overall, with a good variety, but with some room for improvement. The facilities were satisfactory, offering everything needed for a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers rooms that are beautiful but face a dark area used for public activities at night, with nearby recycling containers from restaurants. The service is friendly and helpful for a pleasant weekend break, including tips on dining options and parking assistance. The location is ideal for exploring Malaga on foot despite nearby ongoing refurbishments. Dining options are excellent, with a diverse buffet selection and attentive service.
Staying at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated with a French balcony, offering a tranquil environment with no noise disturbance from neighboring rooms. However, the dining experience could be better arranged and less packaged. The service provided exceeded expectations, with friendly and helpful staff catering to special requests. The hotel's prime location near the cathedral makes it an ideal choice for exploring Malaga. The facilities were excellent, offering a range of convenient services at good value for money.
What a gem! The hotel is nestled in the heart of the city, offering a mix of city life and seaside relaxation. The rooms are a cocktail master's dream - spacious, comfy, and with a view of the stunning cathedral. However, access by car can be a bit challenging from the east. The service was exceptional, with genuinely friendly staff who even made dinner reservations for us at a top restaurant. The central location provides easy access to city attractions, bars, and the beach, making it the ideal spot to soak up the best of Malaga. The rooftop bar with its pool and cocktail bar is a must-visit, offering breathtaking views of both the Port and the Old Town.
