Guest reviews

The staff were very helpful, courteous and accommodating. It's walking distance to the beach. It was clean.

We stayed 1 night. There were 2 electric cuts, one was when I was in the shower and my son had popped out so I was all alone in the pitch back trying to find my way to my phone for a torch. The otter power cut was about an hour after. There is no blind on the window. There is a sort of see through blind that's used usually under a real blind or curtains. This didn't even cover the window. The bottom of the window was uncovered. In addition the hotel bedroom door didn't fit well and the light in the hallway was so bright it came through the side and bottom and also made sleeping hard. There were 2 safes in the room. Both of them were broken and unusable. The shower was set for someone about 4 foot tall but my son was able to adjust (I could not ). The phone in the room did not work. The AC was intermittent and we spent aor kf the night absolutely boiling. . I am very glad we only booked 1 night and would not book again. If it had an actual blind on the window I'd have considered it as the staff were very helpful and the location is great. But I would warn that this is not even to the same standard as a Travelodge in UK yet far more expensive.

The stay was excellent. The staff was very pleasant, the treatment spectacular and attentive at all times. If I returned to Malaga, I would repeat since the location was also wonderful, next to the beach two minutes away and the center 25 minutes away. It is very important that it is a very quiet area both in the morning and at night.

Nothing to add.
