Loved the views, the room, the service, the meals (breakfast and dinner @ sunset) and the pool. The tradeoff is that you need transportation to access the center and other Malaga attractions. We did walk up the hill once and down twice, but after that it was either taxis, Uber, or bus.

Lovely experience with friendly staff, spotlessly clean rooms and public areas, great food and probably the best views in Malaga! Easy access by local bus (hourly during the day) if you don't fancy the walk. Need to book a table in advance if you want to enjoy your meal on the restaurant balcony. A top class Parador!

Beautiful views, charming older hotel. Not central but a path is there to bring you down to the center.....albeit it's fairly steep. Only downside I would say is that there is no service at the pool. The restaurant is very good.

I was charmed by this Parador. So beautiful. Loved breakfast on the terrace with amazing views over Malaga and the Med. Great little pool with sun-beds on the rooftop. Also a very handy bus stop close to the Parador. So easy to go into busy Malaga centre then back to the peace of the Parador.

The hotel was excellent - breakfast was fabulous both cooked and buffet available. Rooms were clean and spacious with fabulous view over the marina and up to the castle The one thing I would say the hotel is lacking is a roof top bar / drinks available at the pool even for a soft drink you have to go downstairs to the front bar . Also a snack bar would be very accommodating even just for fruit or a bowl of fries !! The views from the pool are stunning and definitely would recommend the hotel. The steep walk up and down to Malaga centre is not for the faint hearted or infirm a taxi / uber would be more acceptable!!!

Best views you can get in Malaga. The pool was a tad run down and wish it had access to drinks, even water would be nice. Sunsets were incredible. Walking down into town is doable but not ideal with slope and stairs. Uber on the way up from town is a must. I would have loved the hotel to have a market to purchase simple items like sunscreen or chips, since nothing is nearby. A bit touristy people hanging out front with the castle and all… But a lovely stay, really pretty exterior, full-length mirrors in the room and helpful staff.
