Second time staying here now! Such a lovely hotel, very clean, nice reception staff! Good size rooms with comfy beds! Just 5 minutes walk from the beach! I will be back for sure!
A lovely hotel for a beach trip. Staff are very friendly (though spoke only Spanish).
Air conditioning and shower were perfect, king size bed nice too!
The hotel is clean , close to the beach. Comfy bed and nice room. We didn’t enjoy the breakfast. It was small any not much options. Transport in front the hotel.
Clean , friendly staff. Speaks very little English though

It was in a nice area not far from the beach. Good transport into Malaga.
It seemed strange that only one teabag per person was placed in the room and no coffee was available.
This hotel is close to a area with lots of restaurants and a walk to the beach only took 5 min. The busstop is 20 meters away. If you wan't to shop for groceries it takes 7 min to find a bigger shop, both east and west of the hotel.
Only bad thing I could think of is that you hear a lot from the other rooms, noise. But other than that it's good.
Amazing hotel lovely staff very helpful ,all we needed was in the hotel . Great location worh easy bus route outside to Malaga city . I would definitely be booking again soon
Perfectly located two blocks from the beach and close to shops, bus stop to/from Málaga right outside. Super-friendly staff, great Aircon, fridge in room, good shower, huge smart TV. Loved it! Thank you, we will be back soon!!
The staff at check in did not speak any English. As the website was english, and no notice of this on hotels.com, I expected them to speak english.
I did email the week prior to arrival about the airport shuttle which is on the website but had no reply.
Clean hotel otherwise. Close to beach.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Very comfortable bed with good bed linen. Room was clean and great bathroom with a hairdryer and excellent shower. Tea making facilities on the room as well.
Would definitely recommend.
Trevligt litet hotell, trevlig personal. Nära till stranden och restauranger ett par minuter, och ca 20 min med buss in till stan. Busshållplatsen ligger precis vid hotellet
