I had the best experience at Hotel El Pozo. The location was nice. Literally a 5-minute walk from the beach. The hotel has a little restaurant just downstairs, in case you don't feel like going far for a meal or would like to order something taken to your room. They serve beer and liquor as well. The staff was very friendly and most helpful. They were very informative and resourceful about anything I had questions about, the location, the bus stops and train stations. They were very accomodating during my stay. From the receptionists, to the waiters and waitresses, the maids, and the manager. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to spend a few nights in Malaga. It's also a pet-friendly hotel. Welcoming to small and big dogs alike. Highly recommend.
