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.

Chose this hotel as it was close to the airport for our arrival and also near the port from which we were taking a cruise. The location is perfect. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Quite a bit smaller than we expected, but this was inconsequential.

Away from the centre of City so ok for beaches and for many of the sights but a bit of a walk to get to shops if that is what you want (we didn't !). Reception were very helpful when we had a few (non-hotel related) problems. Would revisit if we came back to Malaga.

Reviewed by M of Buckinghamshire on Jul 10, 2009

This is a very clean and comfortable 4-star hotel which is just 200metres from the beach, bars and restaurants and 400 metres from the old town centre via the botanical gardens. The Picasso museum, Picasso house and cathedral are all an easy walk away, as are the shops of the Larios and the Alcazaba. I've stayed in Malaga four times and this is the best located hotel for all amenities.

Reviewed by V of Tromsø on Jul 13, 2009

Vi ankom MS Meastranza i Malaga der vi hadde booket en junior suite. Det var litt rot med bestillingen da det bare var registrert dobbeltrom på oss. Men etter at jeg viste fram bestillingsbekreftelsen løste saken seg raskt. Vi ba om rom høyt oppe og mot "bullringen", og fikk det. Resepsjonspersonalet var alltid smilende, høflig og blid. Rombetjeningen plaget oss ikke når vi foretrakk å gå ut litt sent (12-tiden), slik du kan oppleve på mange andre hotell og rommet var gullende rent. Noe trafikkbråk når vi satt på verandaen (som vi gjorde mye av), men fem minutter til stranda og en fin kvarters spasertur til og fra sentrum når vi ville inn dit om kveldene for å spise tapas, veide opp for det. Vi er storfornøyd, også fordi vi synes Malaga er en utrolig fin by i motsetning til byens sjølinje i retning Marbella. Hotellet har også treningssenter på toppen.
