"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

Gran Hotel Miramar GL

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hotel Miramar from beginning to end! The hotel is beautiful and conveniently located right across from the beach. The staff at check-in were wonderful. Our room was absolutely beautiful and incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was spacious, and the BVLGARI soap smelled amazing. The housekeeping staff were very friendly. The turn-down service was a lovely touch. The rooftop terrace and bar were lovely. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant, and it was nice. The service and food were very good. Overall, it was a great 5-star experience, and I would highly recommend it."

"The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, the shower excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful Breakfast was mediocre. 2 choices of cereal neither healthy but there was a cold and hot choice of main the same every day and neither appealed to me. The bread didn’t look fresh. Air conditioning was excellent, immediate response."

Hotel Plaza del Castillo

8/10 Good

"We stayed here when we arrived in Malaga in the evening. The location was convenient to the airport with our rental car. The location was not good if we had been planning on spending time in Malaga. There was nothing to do in the neighborhood. The staff were friendly and helpful. The gardens were beautiful."
