Great location, apartments had all the amenities we required, clean and tidy, friendly staff. Could be a little noisy at night but in the centre of the city so be expected. Would stay again.
Clean and very nice apartment-style hotel room. The apartment and hotel were top tier. However, the area around the hotel was loud and full of young adults going to bars until the early hours of the morning. Walking around alone felt unsafe honestly.
The very definition of a boutique hotel! Small,quiet, beautifully decorated and designed with lots of little touches much appreciated. Excellent location in an area with lots of interesting food and drink options. Everything about the hotel and area was scrupulously clean. All staff were invariably pleasant welcoming and helpful- wish we had more time!

Excellent location of the hotel for those who want to discover center of Malaga Thoughtful design, comfortable bed. I love the hospitality details: sweets in the room, coffee machine, towels with the hotel logo, complimentary tea area - cozy, clean and beautiful. Wonderful smiling lady in reception makes warm welcome.
This property is great! Wonderful location, nice lobby, room spacious, clean and functional. Loved the herbal teas in the lobby. The only downside was the room lacked windows which I found difficult and reduced the overall quality of my experience.
A perfect location, beautiful hotel, boutique style with high quality finishing’s & impeccably clean. Staff welcoming & went beyond with hospitality. Thank you 5*
Wonderful hotel. Great location and close to sights in historic area. Helpful friendly staff! Variety of teas in the lobby along with candy jars! Help yourself! Would definitely stay here again!
Loved the location. Charming boutique hotel walking distance to most of the sites. And great restaurants nearby. Our room was light and bright, cozy and clean. The street noise at night was tough though . Revelers until the early AM. We closed all the windows and even the heavy wooden shutters to try and sleep. Maybe ask for a room in the back?
The breakfast buffet is great however the waiter handling it is not friendly. He did not offer us omelette which were part of the breakfast. We only found out on our last morning when he offered to another guest. He was militant about which utensil to use on buffet. (He admonished me the 1st day and again on our last day. My mistake for using the tomato spoon to scoop up avocado! ) and be sure to close the door behind you or he will brusqely do it behind you. He did not make us feel welcome. We noted he was much friendlier/ helpful to the Spanish guests…. Not a good way to start our day.
We had a lovely stay here. The staff were friendly. Our room overlooked the outside rooftops which was a nice upgrade. Very quiet. Large bathroom with all of the amenities. Great location!
We had a great stay here and would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
Highly recommended.

Our stay here was very pleasant… I would highlight the Kindness and service of Elizabeth… she was amaizing from day one. Shane went above and beyond to make our experience a unique one…. This hotel and its staff is highly recommended.
I was a solo traveller (older woman)
I loved nearly everything about this hotel. It’s clean and fresh. The room was well equipped, the bed comfortable. The setting was perfect for me… right in centre of town. Everything I wanted to see was within walking distance. There are many many restaurants close by and it was very easy to find somewhere to eat. I always felt very safe. I didn’t have breakfast in the hotel so can’t comment on that.
The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that although the room has an opening window, it opens onto the covered courtyard , not into fresh air. I do feel a bit mean though as it was completely quiet at night and the air conditioning was excellent. Would have given 4.5 stars if I could.
The roadworks outside are still very extensive. It definitely would have been more pleasant not to have them but that’s not the fault of the hotel.
Had a lovely three night stay, couldn't fault the service, the staff and the breakfasts.
Just one disappointment, the lack of drawer space for our clothes in the bedroom...there wasn't any, apart from that, excellent.

This was the second time we have stayed in the hotel. We were warmly welcomed and given a small present as returning guests. It's a lovely, slightly quirky hotel but we love it and will return next time we are travelling through Malaga.

Dear Richard,Thank you for returning to Palacete de Álamos. We are happy that we have lived up to your previous exprience and hopefully we may seeing you again in the future.Thank you for sharing your positive review online!Reception
Once the street is repaired, the location will be even more convenient. I was aware when booking that the road was not accessible to traffic, but it's only a brief stroll to the corner where you can hail a taxi or catch a bus. The hotel is situated in an excellent area, and you can explore the historic district within a short walking distance.

Estimada Magali,Muchas gracias por elegir Palacete de Álamos. Nos alegra que su impresión haya sido tan positiva y agradecemos que haya hecho pública su valoración. Quedamos a su entera disposición y esperamos poder volver a verle en el futuro.Saludos cordiales,Recepción
Really nice boutique hotel. Reception staff were lovely and friendly. Nice touches around the hotel - pick and mix sweets are a winner!
In my room the bathroom was inside the bedroom, fine for me as I was alone but might be awkward if with someone else. Shower was hand held too which made hair washing a bit tricky. Nice bath though.
The road outside is being dug up at the moment, nothing the hotel can do about it and not too much of an issue but not pretty!
Breakfast was tasty and varied.

Everything was good except for the construction noise outside of the building. Front desk staff is great answering questions and providing suggestions for restaurants. The room was spacious and quiet. The hotel is conveniently located, short walking distances from everything in town.

Wonderful rooms and staff. Very clean and comfortable. The location was excellent for getting around the city on foot. The street outside the hotel is under construction at this time, 7/2023. It is a temporary inconvenience and the hotel was sound proof enough that once inside, there was no disturbance but it made it less convenient getting in and out of the hotel.

Pleasant stay
Nice hotel and welcoming staff.
The breakfast was good quality.
The room was pleasant
Unfortunately significant road works immediately outside did cause some noise in the room.
Lovely room, fresh breakfast, friendly staff and central location. Would recommend

The hotel is very centrally located. There is a couple of public parking lots within 2-3 minutes walk. We drove to the Parking Granados en el centro de Málaga, took out our luggage and they parked the car. When we left the retrieved that car for us. Cost was 25 Euros/night. We walked all around town. The staff at the hotel were very helpful, friendly and spoke English. We ate next door at the Black Label Urban Grill. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was very good. I would stay at this hotel again ad can recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in downtown Malaga.
