Booked a non refundable room while in transit apparently only a few hours before arrival. Then plane returned to Paris (origin). Emailed hotel to explain and no consideration offered. NOT REASONABLE
The room and the hotel in general were very clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and service was fast efficient. Dinner in the restaurant was very good, reasonably priced and service attentive and timely. I would give the hotel 5 stars except that the bath / shower fixtures are very complicated and the tub hard to get in and out of.

Very welcoming staff. Clean room. Good breakfast. Excellent hotel to stay in after arrival. Close to airport.
After a month travelling in Spain, this was by far one of our favourite hotels! A warm welcome at reception, an excellent supper, cheerful bar staff, a clean and comfortable room (with a beautiful bathtub!). The breakfast buffet was sensational, and the service staff were gracious and kind. Add to that an excellent location, and this hotel cannot be beat. Truly five star experience!
The complimentary breakfast was phenomenal. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Estella who went out of her way to always greet us and provide assistance to us in navigating our stay and our tourist ventures. The on site restaurant had great choices and very good pricing.

Bardzo miła obsługa a szczególnie Pani która pomagała przy śniadaniu, wybór jedzenia dobry i smaczny. Pokój niestety dla mnie za głośny od strony autostrady, klimatyzacja nie sprawna nie dało się uzyskac zadanej temp, wiało gorącym powietrzem dlatego zmuszony byłem wogole tego nie włączać i w nocy było zimno. Ogólnie hotel ok łatwe połączenie autobusem miejskim z centrum oraz inne części miasta.
The staff was courteous and helpful. The room was clean and quiet. Proximity to the airport was my priority- the hotel was just minutes away. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast at 7 am, but caters to early morning flights by setting out a light breakfast including yogurt, cereal, fruit, and breads starting at 4 am. This was fabulous as my taxi came at 4:15 am. I was still able to have a coffee and grab a bite before a long day of travel. I would definitely stay here again just for that thoughtful detail.

This is an airport hotel located 2K from the terminal yet it did not have a shuttle to the airport. We falsely assumed it did. Our taxi ride was an outrageous 19 euros! The food in the dining room was terrible. Not up to brand standards. The room was 80 degrees (in January!) and the desk said it couldn’t do anything about it. Overall bad stay for us.
Room was very clean and met all our needs. Staff were courteous and helpful.

Hotels ideally located for flying out or into Malaga. It’s clean, comfortable and the staff are very friendly. We have used this hotel a few times now and will continue to do so.
