10/10 Excellent
"Good location within an easy short walk of nice restaurants and less than 15 min walk of the centre. Room was spotless, modern and spacious. Was nice having the extra sink in the bathroom. Wasn't massively keen on the extra glass partition to the toilet though. Appreciated having drinking water coolers on the room floors. Breakfast was nice with a decent variety of items including some nice cakes. Only one of the days of my stay the bacon seemed to have run out. The pool and relaxation area was lovely. Used that a few times during my stay. Couldn't see a ladies changing room which was strange, just a locker room so ended up changing in my room or the toilet. Overall a lovely smart hotel with good facilities that i would go back to if I visit Malaga again."

The staff are all friendly and very helpful, especially Antonio, Alberto, Kevin and Jennifer. They went above and beyond.

Almost like being with friends and family. People from all over the world stay at this place so it’s not a boring place to be."

"It’s a well-appointed and generously-sized room. The walls were a touch thin, though this was mostly an issue because someone next door was wearing hard-soled shoes on the wood floor. The only real complaint was the mysterious inability of the air conditioning to stay on. After a seemingly random interval (in the range of hours), it would simply stop, and the only way to restart it was to power it off and on. There was no indication on the control panel that it was no longer working, and the co from panel looked exactly the same after power cycling it. Odd."
