Top Málaga Hotel Reviews

Hotel Plaza del Castillo

8/10 Good

"We stayed here when we arrived in Malaga in the evening. The location was convenient to the airport with our rental car. The location was not good if we had been planning on spending time in Malaga. There was nothing to do in the neighborhood. The staff were friendly and helpful. The gardens were beautiful."

AC Hotel Málaga Palacio by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service"

Málaga Hotel Eliseos

8/10 Good

"Pluses: Suprisingly quiet Functional room Good Air Con Good Wi Fi Instant hot water. Litle balcony was a nice touch. Staff helpful, friendly and EFFICIENT. 8 euro Breakfast was perfectly ok. Good enough choice and buffet so can go back for more if you needed. Minuses: Freezer shelf of mini fridge had no ocver so it froze everything on shelf below. Very little roon for food items. Shower sliding doors come off rails easily and a little dirty. Al in all it was pretty good for a very budget level city hotel. I would stay again."

Be Mate Málaga Soho

8/10 Good

"It’s a well-appointed and generously-sized room. The walls were a touch thin, though this was mostly an issue because someone next door was wearing hard-soled shoes on the wood floor. The only real complaint was the mysterious inability of the air conditioning to stay on. After a seemingly random interval (in the range of hours), it would simply stop, and the only way to restart it was to power it off and on. There was no indication on the control panel that it was no longer working, and the co from panel looked exactly the same after power cycling it. Odd."
