A short guide to Malaga

One of Spain’s biggest ports and the provincial capital, Malaga’s city centre has undergone a major facelift in recent years to attract many tourists who would usually pass straight to the local resorts. The historic centre features narrow streets surrounding the iconic lopsided cathedral. Plaza Merced is the birthplace of artist Pablo Picasso. Above it all sits the hilltop fortress of the Alcazaba.

Malaga Centro 2008.09.18
Recommended Trip type: All Others "A hidden secret in Malaga"

Reviewed by s of Birmingham on Sep 18, 2008

A very glamrous looking Malaga Centro hotel, with a marble reception, with an nice yellow decorative background including sparkling light fittings and a very posh sitting room with a large plasma screen. The staff are very welcoming and can all speak english, which is a very good starting point. When requiring directions to any part of Malaga, a map and the best route to get there was always offered. The room i stayed in had a small fridge and was equipped with free drinks every day, towels were changed evryday unless not requested. The bathroom alos was had the marble effect and the corridors also were painted in yellow wiht red carpet. Had a sdlight problem wihtg the card to enter the room and this was changed immediately. The rooftop pool is small but it offers a quiet space to read, sun bathe or to take in the scenery from your hotel epscially at night when the catheral ligths come on. Oh nearly fogot they also have a mini gym, all these facilities are free. I only had beverages at the hotel there i cannot comment on the foood, but there are plenty of places dine out in the evening or to have breakfast if you fancy a chnge from hotel food. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the beach, but there is plenty to see and lots of shopping that be done. I would definetly go back and stay at Centro Malaga if I was going on holiday or for business purposes as they accommodate both of htese areas.

We chose the Malaga Centro not knowing the area at all, but on the basis that it's not far from the airport. The very helpful receptionist gave us a map and showed us where to find good restaurants, beaches, museums etc. All were within easy walking distance.

Reviewed by N of USA on Aug 7, 2009

The hotel is on the outskirts of the tourist "old" town area of Malaga. The river has no water in it. I enjoy walking and loved the location of the hotel but I would not recommend it to older people who do not walk much. The hotel bar is not staffed properly, if you order a drink and are served, pay right away even if you plan on having another one. The pool is small and the front desk has towels but there are not a lot of lounge chairs so get there early. The room as nice and comfy.

Reviewed by D of Glasgow on Dec 13, 2008

Spent 3 nights here on a golf break and couldn't really fault it. The location is great with all the restaurants and shopping within a 10 minute walk. I found the room to be a little on the small side but it had all you need: TV, Fridge/Mini-bar (4 complimentary soft drinks), En-suite, Safe. Even though it was December I found the room to be very warm and the AC unit didn't really help much so I had to have the window open and there was a bit of street noise. The staff were all friendly and helpful although you may have to wait a little to get served at the bar if it's quiet. The lounge is nice and light and you can catch a game of football if there's one on the local TV stations (but don't worry it's not a sports bar or anything - fine for the family). One thing... when driving to the hotel try not to overshoot the place or you'll be over the bridge and have to circle round about a mile before you can get back.

Vi havde 4 aftener på hotel Malaga Centro lige i hjertet af Malaga med en lille pool på taget, hvor fra man også kan se det meste af byen. Ligger super placeret med 5 min. gang til strøget, 15 min. gang til Malaga CF stadion og 15 min. gang til stranden. Hotellet er enkelt indrettet og renheden og værelsernes stand kan man ikke sætte finger på. Det eneste man kan sætte en finger på var Receptionspersonalets manglende sprog kundskaber, samt manglende evne/lyst til at orientere om byen og de arrangeret ture fra hotellet.

Detta fyrstjärniga hotell i utkanten av Malaga centrum överträffade våra förväntningar, vilka var aningen lågt ställda eftersom priset var så lågt. Personalen var hjälpsam och talade bra engelska, rummet var fint och badrummet stort. Men var uppmärksam på att frukost inte ingår i priset utan måste köpas till, vilket kostar hela 16 Euro per person. Vi bodde bara en natt på hotellet och "lyxade till det" på morgonen med hotellfrukost och blev inte besvikna, det fanns till och med mousserande vin på buffén.

Lidt gammeldags interiør, men på en måde ret spansk og meget rent og pænt og velfungerende. Lige med undtagelse af poolen, som størrelsesmæssigt er lige i underkanten af hvad der er en pool. Og så var der ingen bar/ opsyn ved poolen, hvilket betød at nogle unge mennesker fremviste nærmest pornografiske scener. Men alt i alt en meget god hotel oplevelse, med super beliggendhed lige ved det gamle city centrum.

Wir waren mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar in Malaga und benutzten das Hotel als Basis für Tagesausflüge und um Abends in die Stadt zu gehen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Als Kritik muß man sehen, daß die Zimmerkarten alle 2 Tage nicht funktionierten, der Trinkwasserautomat nicht funktionierte und das Schwimmbad sehr klein war. Der Preis für das Frühstück ist mit 16.-€ überzogen. Positiv ist zu erwähnen, daß die Zimmer sehr sauber waren und einige Getränke Wasser, Cola, Orangensaft und Limonade täglich Kostenfrei in die Minibar gelegt wurden (je 1 kleine Flasche, Wasser 2).
