Malaga hotels

Our second visit to this hotel - a hidden gem, initially difficult to find, but worth the trip!

This was a fantastic hotel located in a perfect central position near all the local bars, restaurants and tourist sights. However the best part was the warm welcome from the superb staff from the minute we checked in until the minute we left. We checked in on my wife's birthday and the receptionist immediately noticed this from her passport and extended a warm birthday wish. After a brief walk to get our bearings we returned to the hotel to freshen up prior to a night out. We then received a knock at the door and a waiter delivered us a perfectly chilled bottle of Spanish wine, chocolate truffles and a personalised birthday card from the staff. Wow, what a nice touch and my wife was made up, I only wish I could have took the credit! Malaga itself was a buzzing city and we were lucky to be there for three days where the Malaga festival was in full swing. This definitely showed off the city to its full potential and everyone was up for a good time and party. Make sure you visit the harbour area as this has some excellent restaurants, bars and shops. If you tire from too much tapas, the Indian restaurant is worth a visit and the food is better than some of the establishments in the UK. For a city break with culture, good food and a chilling beach, Malaga is worth a visit. The Vincci Hotel is also the ideal choice to base yourself, you will not be disappointed!

My sister and I were traveling from Madrid to Malaga and we wanted to see several other cities. The location of the Barcelo Malaga was perfect for this- its right in the train station. We were able to take a train to Cordoba for a day and a bus (station right across street) to Granada for a day. Only about a 15 minute walk from the historic area of Malaga.

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, good value. would definitely recommend and stay again.

Stayed two nights - one week apart. Upgraded to junior suite on first night at no extra charge as no standard rooms available. Minor renovation work taking place on outside currently but this didn't affect our stay.

Had a great time in Malaga old town and this was a very good hotel to be a base to explore the town.
