"We had an excellent time in the apartment, which is well fitted and enjoys a perfect location by the beach with quick access to the sea. Our Host was extremely helpful and very attentive to our needs. There is an abundance of eateries and bars in the locality with a superb menu of fresh fish and seafood, our prime weakness.Although close by restaurants and bars, the apartment is in a very peaceful and quiet road alongside the beach.Highly recommended and thank you for a lovely stay.

Top Málaga Hotel Reviews

Hotel Plaza del Castillo

10/10 Excellent

"I only spent around 13 hours here as a stopover before the airport, which was about 15 mins taxi ride away. Would have happily stayed longer as it’s a comfy, quirky, and friendly place to stay. Staff friendly, onsite restaurant with tasty food. Clean fresh and comfy room with good shower."

Holiday Inn Express Malaga Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"This hotel is really convenient for the airport and has 24 hour check-in (we arrived late as our flight was delayed). Staff were really friendly and helpful, the room was clean and it was a great breakfast. Recommended"

Málaga Hotel Eliseos

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very good, closed to the beach and the city centre/highlights. The pool on the rooftop is small as a jacuzzi, but a nice area to sunbathe, getting lovely views. New sunbeds. Our room 310 room was very quiet, what I value most, spacious and spotless. The mattresses were very comfortable. We did not get the breakfast so I cannot give my opinion about that. I definitely would be back next time."
