Top Málaga Hotel Reviews

Hotel ILUNION Malaga

Holiday Inn Express Malaga Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location with very big and convenient rooms with all mod cons. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. Definitely stay again."

Gran Hotel Miramar GL

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Málaga Hotel Eliseos

10/10 Excellent

"Our flight arrived in Malaga at 7:30. We arrived at the hotel probably about nine. It was perfect for our first night. There was a nice restaurant about a block away and sat outside and enjoyed the evening. We had a great nights sleep in our hotel before leaving the next morning."

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."

Hotel Plaza del Castillo

8/10 Good

"Bedsheets and pillows could be cleaner. Staff were greatly helpful"
